Power Metallic Expands High-Grade Polymetallic Nisk Discovery in Quebec as Multi-Rig Drilling Accelerates

Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSX-V: PNPN)(OTC: PNPNF) — currently trading around C$1.50 per share in a record metals market — is advancing a district-scale polymetallic discovery at the flagship Nisk project in Quebec, Canada.

Nisk is a near-surface high-grade copper, PGE (platinum, palladium), nickel, gold, and silver system being advanced through drilling in one of North America’s most favorable mining jurisdictions.

A top tier location overview

Importantly, mineralization at Nisk begins near surface, supporting strong development optionality as drilling continues to define scale and continuity.

Power Metallic recently increased its land position at Nisk by 600% via the acquisition of 313 mineral claims totalling 167 sq km from Li-FT Power plus additional claims from Hydrolands and others — making Nisk a true district-scale exploration and discovery play with multiple targets now advancing in parallel.

Recent drill results from summer 2025 drilling at the Lion Zone produced a number of exceptionally high-grade intercepts, including:

  • 22.66 meters of 4.57% CuEq, including 6.05 meters of 9.70% CuEq in Hole-020
  • 28.0 meters of 4.28% CuEq, including 3.4 meters of 15.45% CuEq in Hole-015
  • 5.35 Meters of 11.97% Cu (16.35% CuEqRec) in Hole 25-022
  • 4.40 Meters of 12.18% Cu (14.34% CuEqRec) included within 20.40 Meters of 2.91% Cu (3.58% CuEqRec) in Hole 25-029b

Preliminary metallurgical test results performed by SGS Canada on samples from the Lion Zone produced high recoveries of copper (98.9%), palladium (93.9%), platinum (96.8%), gold (85.0%) and silver (88.9%), exceeding the company’s most optimistic estimates for metals recovery prior to the testwork.

Following a very successful 2025 campaign, winter 2026 drilling is now ramping up from 3 rigs to a minimum of 5 rigs with Power Metallic targeting ~35,000 meters between now and the end of April.

In addition to drilling at the Nisk and Lion discovery zones, the company will be drill-testing the high-priority Tiger Deep target (see below) to the east of Lion.

Tiger Deep represents one of the largest EM panels identified to date at Nisk — larger than the original Lion airborne VTEM panel — with drill-testing aimed at proving continuity of mineralization across a wider, potentially district-scale footprint.

Power Metallic is well cashed-up with approximately C$33 million in the treasury — including strategic investments by Robert Friedland, Rob McEwen, and Gina Rinehart, providing both capital and technical validation — with ongoing warrant exercises set to provide additional cash to fund winter 2026 exploration and drilling.

Power Metallic leaders

Power Metallic has also announced its intent to list on the NYSE to expand access to a broader base of US institutional capital.

For a much deeper dive, and with copper, palladium, platinum, gold, and silver all trading at or near all-time highs, our own Gerardo Del Real of Junior Resource Monthly and Nick Hodge of Underground Alpha sat down with Power Metallic Mines CEO Terry Lynch for a detailed look at the initial discovery at Nisk and the momentum building via the drill-bit as we kick off 2026 in earnest.
