CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pan American Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “Pan American”) (CSE: PNRG) (OTC PINK: PAANF) (FRA: SS6) is pleased to announce the Company has received approval to the previously submitted Notice of Amendment (“NOA”) to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), Tonopah Field Office for exploration drilling at its 17,334 acres Horizon Lithium Project. The Company is now fully permitted to drill up to twenty-two (22) lithium prospecting core holes with associated access on federal surface and mineral, under the management of the BLM – Tonopah Field Office, approximately 7.4 miles west of Tonopah, Esmeralda County, Nevada.

Jason Latkowcer, Chief Executive Officer comments, “After a thorough review of our original 19 lithium prospecting core hole plan, it was determined that adding an additional 3 holes to the northern tip of our property, immediately south of American Battery Technology’s Tonopah Flats Project, would provide us with the best opportunity to hit lithium mineralization early in the phase 1 program. Nevada’s mining, permitting, and amendment support system via the Bureau of Land Management once again proves it is second to none.”
