PAN GLOBAL ADVANCES DRILL PROGRAMS AT ESCACENA AND CÁRMENES PROJECTS, SPAIN
Multi-target drill program in progress at Escacena, testing VMS-associated copper, tin, silver, gold targets 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. About Pan Global Resources Pan Global Resources Inc. is actively exploring for copper-rich mineral deposits along with gold and other metals. Copper has compelling supply-demand fundamentals and outlook for strong long-term prices as a critical metal for global electrification and energy transition. Gold is also attracting record prices. The Company's flagship Escacena Project is located in the prolific Iberian Pyrite Belt in southern Spain, where a favourable permitting track record, excellent infrastructure, mining and professional expertise, and support for copper as a Strategic Raw Material by the European Commission collectively define a tier-one low-risk jurisdiction for mining investment. The Company's second project, at Cármenes in northern Spain, is also an area with a long mining history and excellent infrastructure. The Pan Global team comprises proven talent in exploration, discovery, development, and mine operations - all of which are committed to operating safely and with utmost respect for the environment and our partnered communities.

ARIS MINING, COLOMBIA'S MINISTRY OF ENERGY AND MINES, AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS LAUNCH FORMALIZATION STRATEGY FOR ACTIVE ASM AREAS NEAR MARMATO
VANCOUVER, BC, July 16, 2025 /CNW/ - Aris Mining Corporation (Aris Mining or the Company) (TSX: ARIS) (NYSE-A: ARMN) announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) led by Colombia's Ministry of Mines and Energy and other regulatory agencies to accelerate the formalization of artisanal and small-scale miners (ASMs) operating in the Municipality of Marmato, where the Company is expanding its operations. Neil Woodyer, CEO, commented "This MOU demonstrates that a successful gold mining business in Colombia is achievable through close collaboration between industry, government, regulators, and local communities. It also highlights the strong institutional support extended to both Aris Mining and the Marmato ASM community and reinforces our shared vision for a responsible and inclusive mining sector. For Aris Mining shareholders, this agreement reaffirms our ability to unlock sustainable, long-term growth. I thank the Colombian Government, especially the Ministry of Mines and Energy, for their leadership in the development and execution of this important initiative. We are proud to stand alongside representatives from the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the National Mining Agency (ANM), the Governor of Caldas, the Mayor of Marmato, CORPOCALDAS (the regional environmental authority), and other key community stakeholders at the official signing ceremony and celebration." The Cerro El Burro area, located above the Marmato Narrow Vein Zone (Upper Mine) and home to highly active ASM gold mining activities since the 16th century, represents a meaningful gold production growth opportunity for Aris Mining. Formalization delivers long-term benefits to all stakeholders—enhancing safety, environmental outcomes, and livelihoods—while strengthening operational stability as the Company grows gold production at Marmato. Under the MOU, Aris Mining and the Government will work together to: develop the regulatory framework and streamline permitting processes needed to accelerate the ASM units' legal operations within Aris Mining's title areas; provide technical support and training to ASM units to help them meet formal mining standards; promote environmental stewardship and safe mining methods; and expand opportunities for social investment and shared value creation in local communities. Importantly, the areas covered by this MOU are entirely separate from the titles where Aris Mining operates its Narrow Vein Zone (Upper Mine) and is developing the Bulk Mining Zone (Lower Mine) at the Marmato Complex. The Bulk Mining Zone and its dedicated 5,000 tonnes per day carbon-in-pulp (CIP) plant will remain a 100% owner-operated project and is not impacted by the formalization initiative. To support the formalized ASM units, Aris Mining will contribute technical, operational, and environmental expertise and has offered milling capacity from our existing Narrow Vein Zone flotation plant to process ASM-sourced material. This MOU forms part of the broader government "Special Mining District for Peace and Life" initiative, which prioritizes Marmato for socio-environmental planning and sustainable mining initiatives. The agreement establishes a collaborative framework to facilitate the transition of ASM groups into the formal economy through use of legal mining and processing operations. It also highlights the Colombian Government's commitment to work directly with established operators such as Aris Mining. About Aris Mining Founded in September 2022, Aris Mining was established with a vision to build a leading Latin America-focused gold mining company. Our strategy blends current production and cashflow generation with transformational growth driven by expansions of our operating assets, exploration and development projects. Aris Mining is listed on the TSX (ARIS) and the NYSE-A (ARMN) and is led by an experienced team with a track record of value creation, operational excellence, financial discipline and good corporate governance in the gold mining industry. Aris Mining operates two underground gold mines in Colombia: the Segovia Operations and the Marmato Complex, which together produced 210,955 ounces of gold in 2024. With expansions underway, Aris Mining is targeting an annual production rate of more than 500,000 ounces of gold, following the Segovia mill expansion, completed in June and ramping up during H2 2025, and the construction of the Bulk Mining Zone at the Marmato Complex, expected to start ramping up production in H2 2026. In addition, Aris Mining operates the 51% owned Soto Norte joint venture, where studies are underway on a new, smaller scale development plan, with results expected in Q3 2025. In Guyana, Aris Mining owns the Toroparu gold/copper project, where a new Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) has been commissioned and its results are also expected in Q3 2025. Colombia is rich in high-grade gold deposits and Aris Mining is actively pursuing partnerships with the Country's dynamic small-scale mining sector. With these partnerships, we enable safe, legal, and environmentally responsible operations that benefit both local communities and the industry. Aris Mining intends to pursue acquisitions and other growth opportunities to unlock value through scale and diversification.

Bayer Wins Hormone-Free Treatment Approval for Women in the UK
Bayer BAYRY announced that it has won approval for pipeline drug elinzanetant in the UK for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS or hot flashes) associated with menopause. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, a regulatory authority in the UK, has authorized the use of elinzanetant, under the brand name Lynkuet for the above-mentioned indication. Year to date, shares of Bayer have rallied 67% compared to the industry 's gain of 2.7%. More on Bayer's Elinzanetant Elinzanetant is the first dual neurokinin (NK)-targeted therapy (NK-1 and NK- 3 receptor antagonist), which has been globally developed for the treatment of moderate to severe VMS associated with menopause or endocrine therapy for breast cancer, administered orally once daily. The marketing authorization in the UK marks the drug's first global approval. The approval was based on positive results from the late-stage studies OASIS-1, OASIS-2, and OASIS-3, which evaluated the efficacy and safety profile of elinzanetant. Results from the study showed that elinzanetant met all primary endpoints in all three studies and demonstrated a favorable safety profile. We note that elinzanetant is under regulatory review in the United States, countries of the European Union and other markets around the world. The approval of this hormone-free treatment is not only a transformative therapeutic advance for millions of women worldwide but also a compelling growth catalyst for Bayer's pharmaceutical division. As the first drug targeting both NK-1 and NK-3 receptors, it sidesteps the risks and contraindications associated with estrogen therapy, making it an attractive option for millions, including breast cancer survivors or women avoiding hormone-based interventions. BAYRY's Efforts to Strengthen Pharma Business Bayer's new products, such as Nubeqa and Kerendia, continue to maintain their impressive momentum in the Pharmaceutical division and offset the negative impact of a decline in Xarelto sales. The company is working to expand the labels of these key drugs, which should boost its top-line growth. Last month, the FDA expanded Nubeqa's label for a third indication for patients with advanced prostate cancer. The successful development of additional drugs is imperative for Bayer amid multiple challenges. BAYRY expects to launch two new drugs — elinzanetant and acoramidis, a drug for the treatment of a certain type of heart disease. The company also aims to strengthen its pharmaceutical pipeline. In 2021, Bayer acquired a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, Vividion Therapeutics, to expand into precision small-molecule therapeutics, primarily in oncology and immunology. BAYRY has expanded its pipeline in new modalities of cell therapy through the acquisition of BlueRock, and in gene therapy, through the AskBio buyout. Bayer's Zacks Rank & Other Key Picks BAYRY currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
