Pancontinental Gold Corp. Announces Increase in Financing

The flow-through component of the financing will now include up to 17,500,000 common shares of the Company which will qualify as "flow-through shares" pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "FT Shares") issued at a price of $0.06 per FT Share, for gross proceeds of up to $1,050,000. The unit component of the financing has been increased to up to 21,000,000 units of the Company at a price of $0.05 per unit, for gross proceeds of $1,050,000. Each unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of a common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.08 per common share for a period of eighteen months from the date of issuance, provided that the expiry date can be accelerated in the event the common shares trade on a stock exchange at a volume weighted average trading price $0.15, or greater, per common share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days following the expiry of the statutory four month and one day resale restriction. The Company may pay certain finder's fees with respect to gross proceeds raised.
