Drilling continues to reveal exceptional grades. Power Metallic Mines reported another strong set of drill results from the Lion Zone, highlighted by Hole PML 26-095, which returned 22 meters grading 11.46% copper equivalent, including two ultra high-grade intervals above 18% copper equivalent. The results reinforce the Lion Zone as an emerging polymetallic discovery with grades that exceed global copper mining averages.

New results confirm the growing scale of the deposit. The latest drilling confirms both the continuity and expansion potential of the deposit, with high-grade mineralization extending from near surface to depths of roughly 600 meters. This is important as the company advances toward its inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate expected in the third quarter of 2026, as strong continuity and scale could materially enhance future project economics and valuation.

Release – Lion Zone Delivers Second Best Intersection Ever As Power Metallic intercepts 22.00 Meters of 11.46% CuEqRec¹ in Hole 26-095

Posted on May 6, 2026May 6, 2026 by [email protected]

TORONTO, May 6, 2026 /CNW/ – Power Metallic Mines Inc. (the “Company” or “Power Metallic”) (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1) is pleased to provide additional assays from its winter 2026 drill program.

Lion Zone MRE In-fill program

Figure 1 – Lion Zone MRE Drill holes reported in this news release (CNW Group/Power Metallic Mines Inc.)

Figure 2 – Location of Drill holes reported in this news release (CNW Group/Power Metallic Mines Inc.)

Additional drill holes continued to add and refine the high-grade Lion Zone ahead of the 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The infill drill holes in this release cover approximately 560 m down plunge extent from the core of the Lion Zone (PML-26-095) to central southwestern Lion area (PML-26-069) (Figure 1). These holes highlight both the robust near surface mineralization as well as returning the deepest high-grade intercept at Lion. These holes will be incorporated into future mineral resource estimates and highlight the potential for open pit development.

Continued evolution and support of the modelled interpretation of the Lion Zone is evidenced by PML-26-095 which intersected the interpreted core of the Lion Zone with wide intersections of high-grade copper near surface with 22.00 m @ 11.46% CuEqRec¹ including 6.50 m @ 18.59% CuEqRec¹ and including 4.00 m @18.62% CuEqRec¹ (Table 1).

Hole PML-26-069 tested the zone approximately 560 m south-southwest down plunge of PML-26-095 at a vertical depth of 600 m containing a moderate grade of 6.58 m @ 4.00% CuEqRec¹including a high-grade interval of 2.82 m @ 8.26% CuEqRec¹.

Exploratory Drilling – East of Tiger

Drill holes PML-26-065, and -076, located to the east of Tiger (Figure 2), were designed to test modeled anomalies derived from the 2025 airborne VTEM survey. Both holes hit anomalous mineralization of sub-economic grades including 1 m of 0.19% Cu at 39.5-40.5 m and 1 m of 0.81 g/t Pt at 96.5-97.5m (PML-26-065). PML-25-076 displayed Lion style assemblages of Au-Cu-Ni-Pd-Pt from 207-233.5 m, averaging 0.1% CuEq.

Power Metallic is expecting more assay results from the MRE drilling and regional exploration in the weeks to come.

“The Lion Zone continues to deliver high grade intersections that are more than an order of magnitude beyond the grade of the average producing copper mine. Hole PML-26-095 represents our second-best intersection to date. Results demonstrate that both grade and thickness are being maintained and, in places, increasing as we advance toward our inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate in the third quarter of 2026. Lots more to come!” commented Terry Lynch, CEO & Director.

Agnico Eagle’s Arm Snaps Up Canadian Phosphate Asset — and the Market Is Taking Notice

Posted on May 6, 2026May 6, 2026 by [email protected]

When a subsidiary of one of the world’s most respected gold miners pivots to phosphate, the market listens. That’s exactly what happened Monday when Avenir Minerals Limited — established as a subsidiary of Agnico Eagle Mines — announced a definitive agreement to acquire Fox River Resources Corporation (OTCQX: FXRVF) in an all-cash deal valued at approximately C$94.3 million.

Fox River shareholders will receive C$1.10 per share, representing a 20% premium to the stock’s 30-day volume-weighted average price as of May 1, 2026. The Fox River board unanimously recommended shareholders vote in favor of the transaction, and insiders holding roughly 23.5% of shares outstanding have already signed voting support agreements. Asset manager Adrian Day Asset Management, controlling approximately 14.7% of shares, has also committed to vote in favor. The deal is expected to close in early Q3 2026, pending court and shareholder approval.

The target asset is the Martison Phosphate Project near Hearst, Ontario — a high-grade, large-scale igneous phosphate deposit designed as a vertically integrated operation capable of producing domestic phosphate fertilizers as well as purified phosphoric acid (PPA) for the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery industry. A preliminary economic assessment completed in April 2022 underpins the project’s economic viability.

Avenir’s rationale is straightforward: secure a platform-level entry into critical minerals with scale, infrastructure proximity, and dual-market optionality. The Martison project sits at the intersection of two secular demand drivers — food security and the energy transition — and that combination is increasingly rare and valuable.

The Ripple Effect: First Phosphate Catches a Bid

The Fox River deal is already sending a signal to the broader igneous phosphate sector. First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS | OTCQX: FRSPF) — the most advanced pure-play igneous phosphate developer in North America — is trading up roughly 16% today as investors connect the dots.

First Phosphate is developing the Bégin-Lamarche Property in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec, a high-grade igneous phosphate deposit hosting 41.5 Mt Indicated at 6.49% P2O5 and 214 Mt Inferred at 6.01% P2O5, targeting an estimated 24-year mine life. Unlike sedimentary phosphate, igneous deposits produce low-impurity phosphate — the preferred input for battery-grade PPA used in LFP cathode production. The company recently completed final warrant exercises generating roughly C$3 million in gross proceeds and carries over C$20 million in cash with no debt.

The broader macro backdrop gives this deal its urgency. LFP batteries now account for roughly 60% of global battery chemistry deployment, up from just 20% in 2020. China controls nearly all of the world’s LFP production capacity. With phosphate now on the U.S. critical minerals list and North American governments actively funding domestic battery supply chains, high-quality igneous phosphate deposits outside of China are becoming strategic assets — not just mining plays.

The Avenir-Fox River transaction is a data point that validates the thesis. A major mining conglomerate, known for capital discipline, deploying nearly C$100 million into an early-stage igneous phosphate project signals institutional conviction that the phosphate supply gap is real and the window to secure quality assets is narrowing.

First Phosphate’s 16% move today reflects how quickly institutional sentiment can shift when a credible acquirer puts real capital behind an asset class — and igneous phosphate in Canada just got a very public vote of confidence.

Warrant exercise enhances capital structure and financial flexibility. First Phosphate Corp. announced the receipt of approximately C$3.07 million following the full exercise of its remaining warrants at C$1.25 per share, marking the exercise of all outstanding external dilutive instruments. This final round of warrant exercises represents a vote of confidence from shareholders and establishes a valuation benchmark for the company. As a result, the company’s capital structure is now notably streamlined, with no remaining dilutive securities other than those held by staff, management, and board members.

Strong balance sheet and funding provide a clear development runway. The company is in a strong financial position with no debt and benefits from a significant C$16.7 million non-repayable and non-dilutive contribution from the Government of Canada. Combined with funds raised since June 2022 totaling approximately C$62.5 million, First Phosphate has built a solid treasury exceeding C$20 million, placing it among a limited group of junior companies with comparable financial strength. This capital position provides a funding runway to advance development activities through to a final investment decision expected within approximately one and a half years.

Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Québec–(Newsfile Corp. – April 27, 2026) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQX: FRSPF) (OTCQX ADR: FPHOY) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce analytical results for its infill drill program, completed on March 31, 2026, at its Bégin-Lamarche property in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Québec, Canada.

As previously announced, the Company’s recent infill drilling campaign across the three major zones (Mountain, North and South) has confirmed extensive, continuous mineralization throughout the existing horizon of the initial Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) as well as two new phosphate intersects.

Existing mineralized areas, as well as the two newly discovered intersects, have now been defined in all directions and at depth. Based on the current assay results, the Mineral Resources identified in the Company’s initial MRE, dated September 9, 2024, are now being updated into a current geological model which will be produced next month.
