Proceeds to fund the 2024 exploration program and Maiden Resource for La Romana Copper-Tin discovery in Spain
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – (October 19, 2023) – Pan Global Resources Inc. (“Pan Global” or the "Company") (TSX-V: PGZ; OTCQX: PGZFF) announces today that due to strong demand the previously announced non-brokered private placement financing has been increased from $2 million to $6 million. (All dollar amounts in this media release refer to Canadian dollars.)
"The exceptional support from key existing and new investors places us in a strong position to advance exploration and resource delineation at our flagship Escacena Project in Southern Spain. The proceeds from this financing are expected to fund the 2024 exploration program at the multi-target Escacena project and the La Romana Maiden Resource," said Tim Moody, Pan Global President and CEO. “Drilling continues at La Romana to test the western extension of the near-surface copper-tin mineralization, with additional drill results anticipated in the coming weeks.”
The Company announced on October 4, 2023, that it had arranged a non-brokered private placement financing of up to 10,000,000 units (the “Units”) of securities at a price of $0.20 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2 million (the “Offering”). Following the upsizing, the Company will now be issuing up to 30,000,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $6 million. Each Unit will be comprised of one (1) common share and one (1) non-transferable common share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.30 for a period of three (3) years from closing of the Offering, subject to acceleration of the expiry date of the term. The Offering is expected to close on or about October 31, 2023 and in all other respects, the terms of the Offering are as announced on October 4, 2023.
Completion of the Placement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued pursuant to this private placement will be subject to a four-month hold period in Canada and will be subject to U.S. resale restrictions under U.S. securities laws.
