FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Pan American Gold Corporation Corporate Update
Pan American Gold Corporation (OTC BB: PNAMF) (“Pan American”) has completed its summer exploration work on the Huicicila (Miravalles) property in Nayarit State, Mexico. The work included a 6-hole 1,200 metre drill program. Assays are expected in early September. Pan American intends to resume further exploration work at the end of the rainy season in the late fall of 2006.
The Huicicila (Miravalles) property is located 12km southeast of Tepic City and lies within the Compostela Mining District, which has several trends of gold deposits along the Pacific Coast. High-grade gold and silver veins are present on the property with proven reserves estimated by the American Smelting and Refining Company totaling 50,000 tonnes of ore: 1 oz/t of Au and 12 oz/t Ag. Excellent potential exists to increase the tonnage with further exploration.
Pan American Gold Corporation is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company listed on the OTC Bulletin Board (Symbol: PNAMF). Pan American is focused on enhancing shareholder value by identifying, exploring, and developing world-class resource projects with a current focus on properties in Mexico.
