PAN GLOBAL ADVANCES DRILL PROGRAMS AT ESCACENA AND CÁRMENES PROJECTS, SPAIN
Drill program in progress at Cármenes includes testing for high-grade gold and copper-nickel-cobalt at the Providencia target
La Romana step-out drilling for high-grade mineralization extensions to add to maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in 2025
VANCOUVER, BC, July 30, 2025 /CNW/ - Pan Global Resources Inc. ("Pan Global" or the "Company") (TSXV: PGZ) (OTCQB: PGZFF) (FRA: 2EU) is pleased to provide updates on its concurrent drill programs at the Company's 100%-owned flagship Escacena Project ("Escacena") in southern Spain and Cármenes Project ("Cármenes") in northern Spain.
"The 2025 drill programs at the Escacena and Cármenes Projects are testing a compelling suite of high-priority targets, highlighting excellent potential for additional new discoveries of significant mineralization," said Tim Moody, Pan Global's President and CEO. "Simultaneously, the team is advancing the plans for the La Romana copper-tin-silver deposit's maiden Resource due for delivery before year-end, and the step-out drill program is targeting wider zones of higher-grade mineralization for inclusion in the maiden Resource. We look forward to providing updates as results are available."
A total of 20 drillholes have been completed at Escacena and Cármenes as part of the 7,000-meter 2025 drill program, testing multiple targets.
Eight additional wide-spaced step-out drillholes are planned at La Romana to test extensions of the high-grade mineralization ahead of the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate. Recent drill results have extended the surface strike-length of the mineralization to 1.7km, and it remains open in several areas
Five drillholes have recently been completed at the Bravo target, with three additional drillholes planned for this phase of the drill program. Drilling to-date has intersected encouraging alteration and sulphide mineralization. Results to be reported on completion of the planned drilling
Drilling currently testing a strong IP chargeability anomaly on three parallel IP lines, extending over 400 meters east-west, in the south of Bravo and 1 km east of the La Romana copper-tin-silver deposit (see Figure 1)
Drilling will also test the Hornitos and Plomillos targets, testing coincident soil Pb-Zn and strong co-incident geophysics anomalies (IP, heliborne EM, and magnetics)
Information obtained from the ongoing drill programs is being used to revise the geophysics interpretation to identify additional potential mineralization for follow-up drilling, including the La Pantoja target where recent drilling confirmed high grade copper and tin mineralization, including 1.53% Cu, 0.05% Sn, 3.9 g/t Ag over 3m in drillhole LPD01 and 5.36% Cu, 8.7 g/t Ag over 1m in drillhole LPD03 (see media release on May 12, 2025)
Cármenes
Three of six planned drillholes at the Providencia target have been completed
Results highlight wide breccia intercepts over more than 100m width, and gold mineralization from near surface in every drillhole to date (see media releases on May 19, 2025 and June 18, 2025), including
1.08 g/t over 46m in drillhole PVD02, including 6.27 g/t Au over 4m
0.37 g/t Au over 56m in drillhole PVD03, including 2.19 g/t Au over 4m, 1.05 g/t Au over 10m and 1.22 g/t Au over 4m
0.23 g/t Au over 110m in PVD04, including 0.59 g/t Au, 1.05% Cu, 0.22% Co, 0.22% Ni over 4m, and 0.51 g/t Au over 14m
Drilling currently testing an area of breccia with gold identified in soil, trench, and channel sampling immediately east and outside of the historical Providencia mine works (see Figures 2 and 3)
Detailed mapping and surface geochemistry sampling planned ahead of drilling at the Profunda target, 1km south of Providencia
Target selection and prioritization also in progress following interpretation of the recent helicopter electromagnetic, magnetic, and radiometric survey over Cármenes, with more than 30 new targets identified
Pan Global is also advancing the selection process for a consultant to deliver a NI 43-101-compliant Technical Report, including a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the La Romana copper-tin-silver deposit at the Company's flagship Escacena Project located within 40km of three existing mining operations/developments and processing plants on the Iberian Pyrite Belt.
* Drillholes BR03 and BR03a abandoned
About the Escacena Project
The Escacena Project comprises a large, contiguous, 5,760-hectare land package controlled 100% by Pan Global in the east of the Iberian Pyrite Belt. Escacena is located near the operating mine at Riotinto and is immediately adjacent to the former Aznalcóllar and Los Frailes mines where Minera Los Frailes (Grupo México) is in the final permitting stage for mine development. The Escacena Project hosts Pan Global's La Romana and La Pantoja copper-tin-silver discoveries and the Cañada Honda copper-gold discovery. Escacena hosts a number of other prospective targets, including Bravo, Barbacena, El Pozo, Romana Norte, San Pablo, Zarcita, Hornitos, La Jarosa, Romana Deep, and Cortijo.
About the Cármenes Project
The Cármenes Project is located approx. 55km north of León in northern Spain in the same geologic belt as Orvana's Orovalle copper-gold mining operation and the Salamon gold deposit and comprises five 100%-owned Investigation Permits over 5,653 hectares. The Project area is highly prospective for multiple bodies or "clusters" of carbonate-hosted "pipe-like" breccia style copper, nickel, cobalt, and gold mineralization. The area includes the former Profunda and Providencia mines that last operated in the 1930s, producing concentrates of copper and cobalt with nickel. Numerous other smaller historical mine workings in the area highlight potential for additional breccia pipes. These types of ore deposits can have significant vertical dimensions exceeding 1km.

PowerBank and Intellistake Announce Strategic Alliance to Pioneer Digital Currencies, including Bitcoin Treasury Integration and RWA Tokenization
Highlights of the Partnership: Digital Currency Treasury Program: PowerBank will accumulate Bitcoin and Intellistake will accumulate digital currencies that support decentralized AI.. Bitcoin Treasury Management: Intellistake will help manage digital asset operations for PowerBank and serve as PowerBank's supporting partner for security, custody, and treasury management. Tokenized Energy Assets: Potential for First-of-their-kind tokens backed by RWA including solar and storage infrastructure. VANCOUVER, BC, July 31, 2025 /CNW/ - POWERBANK CORPORATION (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: 103) (" PowerBank" or the " Company") – announces a transaction with Intellistake Technologies Corp. (" Intellistake") that involves the intersection of digital assets, energy, and tokenized finance. Intellistake (CSE: ISTK) is a technology company bridging traditional capital markets with decentralized AI and blockchain infrastructure, and PowerBank (formerly SolarBank), is a leader in clean energy infrastructure. Together, these two high-growth companies will pursue three seminal initiatives: A Digital Asset Treasury Program: Leveraging Bitcoin as a long-term treasury reserve asset, PowerBank, with Intellistake's support, intends to accumulate and hold Bitcoin on its balance sheet and Intellistake intends to accumulate digital assets that support decentralized AI, such as FET Token — aligning with the global shift toward decentralized financial reserves. Bitcoin Treasury Management: Under the partnership framework, Intellistake will help manage digital asset operations for PowerBank and serve as PowerBank's supporting partner for security, custody, and treasury management of Bitcoin. The Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA): Intellistake and PowerBank are evaluating the potential tokenization of PowerBank's clean energy assets or shares — providing an investment and financing alternative. "Tokenization is no longer a concept—it's an inevitability," said Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake. "By combining our expertise in capital markets and digital asset custody with PowerBank's scalable, real-world energy platform, we're unlocking a new opportunity.." As institutions and sovereign funds increasingly embrace tokenized securities and decentralized asset strategies, the Intellistake–PowerBank partnership centres on transforming legacy energy systems into a tokenized product. According to a recent report by CryptoSlate, analysts forecast that the market cap for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) could reach $30 trillion by 2034 (1) —driven by advances in blockchain, AI, and investor demand for transparent, real-time asset ownership and settlement. "This partnership is about more than collaboration—it's about setting the pace for a shift in how companies manage capital and assets," said Dr. Richard Lu, CEO of PowerBank."As the world accelerates toward AI, automation, and clean energy, Bitcoin and tokenization are presenting new opportunities. PowerBank and Intellistake are here to take part in that transformation, to bridge traditional energy infrastructure with the demand of the digital economy." Intellistake and PowerBank are presently evaluating the regulatory framework for tokenization. Any tokenization will be subject to it being completed in compliance with applicable law, regulatory requirements and terms of any underlying agreements associated with PowerBank assets. The actual structure of such tokenization, the assets that would be subject to tokenization, and the associated timeline, have not yet been determined. Intellistake and PowerBank will provide further updates as material developments related to this tokenization strategy occur. The actual timing and value of Bitcoin purchases, under the allocation strategy will be determined by management. Purchases will also depend on several factors, including, among others, general market and business conditions, the trading price of Bitcoin and the anticipated cash needs of Intellistake or PowerBank. The allocation strategy may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time for any reason. Intellistake will support PowerBank's establishment of custody for its digital currency purchases and PowerBank no longer intends to utilize Coinbase for this service. As of the date of this press release, no Bitcoin purchases have been made. For additional information on the business of Intellistake please refer to In addition, the Company has issued a total of 56,275 shares to certain former and current directors and officers of Solar Flow-Through Funds Ltd.
