Incoming investors consist of Australian and Canadian industry participants, attracted to Pampa's significant land holdings, pipeline of exploration targets and, more specifically, the potential value creation offered by the imminent drilling of the flagship Block 4 project.

The Company has also issued a further194,444 shares in partial settlement of outstanding director fees.

Successful Site Visit

Newly appointed President& CEO Josephvan den Elsen recently concluded a 1-month trip which included meeting with Canadian and Chilean stakeholders, potential long-term funding partners, and field visits to the Company's extensive land holdings.

Accompanied by Pampa's VP Exploration (Tim Beale), Chairman (Adrian Manger), non-executive Director (Julian Bavin) and Consulting Qualified Person (Mario Orrego), priority was given to the review and validation of the significant body of work completed on the Block 4 Project,and finalising the design of its maiden drilling program.

Maiden Drill Program

The Company is soliciting quotes and finalising preparations for a maiden, 2,100 m drill program at its Block 4 project, expected to start in early January. The Buenavista target at Block 4 will be the focus of the drilling, with consideration given to testing at least one covered geophysical anomaly target to the east to investigate the potential for supergene enrichment copper.

Capital Raising- Tranche 2

As previously announced, Pampa Metals intends to proceed with a further private placement offering of 16,000,000 units at a price of $0.15 per unit, for gross proceeds of $2,400,000.

ABOUT BLOCK 4

Block 4 is located along the world's premier copper mining belt, the Domeyko Belt of northern Chile, about midway betweenthe giant copper mining districts of La Escondida-Zaldivar and El Salvador.The Buenavista target at Block 4 comprises an early Tertiary-aged dacite porphyry (60Ma) with intense quartz-veinlet stockworks, including petrographically confirmed "A"-veinlets, coincident with an isolated magnetic high measuring about 750m in diameter. The dacite porphyry and quartz-veinlet stockwork sub-crop beneath thin regolith and talus cover.

A limited trenching program at Buenavista returned anomalous molybdenum geochemistry (up to 45.6ppm) associated with the porphyry and stockwork zone, together with copper and gold values around the margins, including 24m @ 0.14% Cu (maximum of 0.25% Cu) and (separately) 24m @ 0.25 g/t Au (maximum of 0.64g/t Au). The trenching program revealed relicts of coarse chalcopyrite disseminations from a skarn-type system on the eastern edge of the quartz veinlet stockwork zone, as well as green and black copper oxide mineralization from in-situ oxidation of chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralisation in a quartz-sulfide breccia on the west flank of the stockwork zone, which also has associated gold anomalies.

Assay results from a regolith/talus fines survey over an area of 3.5 km x 3.5 km centered on Buenavista, recently received, returned copper in fines up to 0.156% focused to the west of the central Buenavista porphyry in the area of the quartz-sulfide breccia; molybdenum in fines was focused on the centralporphyry and stockwork zone up to 14ppm; gold in fines shows a sporadic (nuggety) distribution in a halo around the central porphyry up to 0.175ppm; and zinc in fines up to 1,040ppm is distributed as a broadcircular halo around the central Buenavista porphyry. Other geochemical anomalies are also present.

Several magnetic anomalies with similarities to the magnetic anomaly at Buenavista were also detected through post-mineral gravel and ignimbrite cover to the east, southeast and north of Buenavista. A reconnaissance-style pole-dipole IP survey, with wide-spaced lines, showed a broad chargeability anomaly beneath the Buenavista target greater than 1 km x 1 km in diameter, on two lines separated by 750m, coincident with the magnetic anomaly and dacite porphyry with stockwork quartz veinlets, and the quartz-sulfide breccia to the west, starting at relatively shallow depths of around 50m to 100m. Additional IP chargeability anomalies were also detected associated with post-mineral covered magnetic anomalies to the east (IP chargeability > 1 km in diameter on 2 lines starting at around 200m depth); to the southeast (IP chargeability > 2 km on 1 line starting at around 200m depth); and several more complex chargeability features associated with more complex magnetic anomalies to the north on two separate lines.
