Event Summary

Power Metallic Mines Inc. announced significant assay results from its winter 2026 drill program at the Lion Zone, part of the Nisk Project Area. Key intercepts include 17.45 meters of 9.47% CuEqRec in hole PML-26-094 and 39.00 meters of 5.66% CuEqRec in hole PML-26-101. These results are crucial for the upcoming 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate, which is anticipated to be positive and support potential open-pit exploitation. The company is focused on advancing the Nisk Project Area, a high-grade Copper-PGE, Nickel, Gold, and Silver system, towards becoming Canada's next polymetallic mine. Power Metallic Mines also holds interests in other land packages in British Columbia, Chile, and Saudi Arabia.
