Pan Global Resources Inc. (TSXV: PGZ | OTCQB: PGZFF) has commenced exploration at the Romana West target at the company’s Escacena Project in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, southern Spain.
The Romana West target is a high-priority gravity anomaly on the potential western continuation of Pan Global’s La Romana copper-tin-silver discovery. The gravity anomaly and the coincident historic mine workings indicate potential to extend the La Romana mineralization a further 800-1,000m.
Drilling at La Romana to date reportedly shows the copper, tin, and silver mineralization remains open to the west in the direction of the Romana West target and is open down-dip.
The company has accelerated its exploration programme over the Romana West target including detailed gravity and induced polarization (IP) surveys, mapping, and sampling of the historic mine workings. These surveys will help guide the planned diamond drill programme.
The exploration programme at Romana West also includes an initial 100m x 50m gravity survey, a 200m line-spaced dipole-dipole IP survey, and soil sample geochemistry. The geophysics surveys and soil geochemistry will also expand to cover several other large untested targets at Escacena including Romana North, Barbacena, and El Pozo.
Specific surveying, geochemical sampling, and mapping of the historic mine workings has also commenced. Initial observations of copper mineralization exposed in the mine workings and in outcrops nearby suggests the 1.2km copper mineralized trend at La Romana continues at least 250m beyond the westernmost limit of drilling to date and remains open farther to the west.
The company has planned an initial 25-to-30 drill hole programme with drilling to be on north-south lines 100m apart to help delineate the western strike extent and test continuation of the near-surface La Romana mineralization to 200m down-dip. Pan Global expects site preparations for the drill programme to commence within the next two weeks.
