Power Metallic Mines Inc. (PNPNF) – Drilling Expands Lion Mineralization and Identifies High-Grade Gold Zone


Wednesday, March 04, 2026

Power Metallic is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing the Nisk Project Area (Nisk–Lion–Tiger)—a high–grade Copper–PGE, Nickel, gold and silver system—toward Canada’s next polymetallic mine. On 1 February 2021, Power Metallic (then Chilean Metals) secured an option to earn up to 80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (TSX–V: CRE). Following the June 2025 purchase of 313 adjoining claims (~167 km²) from Li–FT Power, the Company now controls ~212.86 km² and roughly 50 km of prospective basin margins. Power Metallic is expanding mineralization at the Nisk and Lion discovery zones, evaluating the Tiger target, and exploring the enlarged land package through successive drill programs. Beyond the Nisk Project Area, Power Metallic indirectly has an interest in significant land packages in British Columbia and Chile, by its 50% share ownership position in Chilean Metals Inc., which were spun out from Power Metallic via a plan of arrangement on February 3, 2025. It also owns 100% of Power Metallic Arabia which owns 100% interest in the Jabul Baudan exploration license in The Kingdon of Saudi Arabia’s JabalSaid Belt. The property encompasses over 200 square kilometres in an area recognized for its high prospectivity for copper gold and zinc mineralization. The region is known for its massive volcanic sulfide (VMS) deposits, including the world-class Jabal Sayid mine and the promising Umm and Damad deposit.

Expansion of Lion mineralization. Recent drilling at Lion East and Lion West resulted in a newly identified shallow eastward plunging structural trend that controls high grade copper mineralization and extends the Lion system beyond its previously defined limits. Step-out drilling expanded mineralization both east and west, and the emerging structural model may vector toward a larger nickel copper source at depth, enhancing the project’s long-term potential.

Encouraging results at Lion West. Drilling intersected massive nickel-bearing sulphide within the UM zone, indicating the presence of a deeper nickel-palladium-copper system much like mineralization observed at Tiger. Follow-up drilling is underway to better define the geometry and relationship to the Lion geological stratigraphy.

Saguenay, Québec–(Newsfile Corp. – March 2, 2026) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTCQX: FRSPF) (OTCQX ADR: FPHOY) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate” or the “Company“) has been conditionally approved for a non-repayable contribution agreement for up to C$16.7 million with the Government of Canada through Natural Resources Canada (“NRCan”) under the Global Partnerships Initiative (“GPI”).

This contribution funded by the Government of Canada will be deployed to assess the technical and engineering parameters – including processing circuits and equipment – needed to validate the ability to produce a phosphate concentrate that meets the quality requirements of the lithium iron phosphate (“LFP”) battery market. The work will be conducted based on the parameters established under the contract between First Phosphate and its definitive offtaker.

“Canada and our partners are putting real capital behind the secure and resilient critical mineral supply chains that our economies and defence industries rely on,” said The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources. “By supporting companies like First Phosphate, we are helping deliver the minerals the world needs and the prosperity and security Canadians deserve.”

“This financial support of the Government of Canada represents an important lever for the continuation of our development work,” stated Armand MacKenzie, President of First Phosphate. “This contribution enables us to carry out detailed work aimed at validating LFP application requirements and the expectations of our offtakers and international partners.”

The development work will help strengthen Canada’s strategic positioning within the LFP battery value chain through the development of domestic capacity to process apatite (phosphate concentrate) into high-purity phosphoric acid (“PPA”) for battery applications.

The project will develop a scalable Canadian process for the production of battery-grade phosphate concentrate, reducing dependence on foreign supply chains.

The activities will contribute to significant economic benefits, including the creation of skilled jobs and the potential establishment of a Canadian phosphoric acid facility supported by local commercial production of phosphate concentrate.

The financial contribution is granted for the completion of a study of the Company’s integrated phosphate concentrate project in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and covers eligible activities planned through 2028, in accordance with the terms of the agreement. It forms part of an initiative to support industrial collaboration and the integration of Canadian projects into international supply chains for battery materials.

TORONTO, Feb. 18, 2026 /CNW/ – Power Metallic Mines Inc. (the “Company” or “Power Metallic”(TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1) is pleased to provide a release of assays from its fall drill program

Summer-Fall Drilling Release 4 – Lion

Figure 2 – Exploration target areas currently being explored on the Nisk Project. (CNW Group/Power Metallic Mines Inc.)

The summer-fall 2025 drilling program was designed to search for extensions to the Lion Zone, specifically down plunge from known mineralization, and to infill drilling the Lion deposit to define the zone geometry to a confidence level that would allow a future mineral resource estimate to be carried out to an Indicated Resource classification.

As assay results are returned from this exploration drilling, they have continued to successfully define the Lion mineralization. The holes in this release are extensions down-plunge from high-grade shoots that are internal to the Lion zone for future MRE modelling. Drilling reported here intersected mineralization below the central high-grade zone of Lion, including a high-grade palladium-platinum-gold-copper intersection of 8.40m @ 8.05% CuEqRecincluded within 20.40m @ 4.11% CuEqRecin hole PML-25-046; and 5.10m @ 9.86% CuEqRecincluded in 8.60m of 6.34% CuEqRecin hole PML-25-045.

Highlighting the polymetallic nature of Lion the reported results from hole PML-25-046 was expected to be a relatively low-grade hole based on initial observations based on the amount of copper mineralization in the core (veins, stringers, and disseminations). Subsequently the assay results indicated that the 20.4m of moderate copper mineralization (0.88% Cu) carried high values of Pd (5.01 g/t) as well as Pt and Au. Power Metallic is now developing logging procedures to help identify these higher-grade precious metal zones that form part of this orthomagmetic polymetallic deposit.

Extensional intersections on the west side of Lion included 7.66m @ 2.69% CuEqRec1in hole PML-25-34a, again with significant metal value carried by Pd-Pt. These holes have largely confirmed the grade of the Lion zone as well as increasing the size of the interpreted higher-grade lodes.

Hole PML-25-036 is approximately 150m west of the main Lion zone. This intersection is indicative of another lens of polymetallic mineralization west of Lion and will be followed up by future drilling to expand this zone.

Table 1 – Lion Zone Intersections reported in this News Release

1Copper Equivalent Rec Calculation (CuEqRec1)
CuEqRec in represents CuEq calculated based on the following metal prices (USD) : 2,360.15 $/oz Au, 27.98 $/oz Ag, 1,215.00 $/oz Pd, 1000.00 $/oz Pt, 4.00 $/lb Cu, 10.00 $/lb Ni and 22.50 $/lb Co., and recovered grades based on recent locked-cycle metallurgical recoveries by SGS Canada Inc (see press release Jan 21, 2026).

“We have made a lot of progress on the Lion Zone. The continuity and growth of the higher-grade core of Lion zone with in-fill drill holes (MRE holes), coupled with our amazing metal recovery numbers that we reported a couple of weeks ago puts us in great shape to ramp up exploration this year. Commented Power Metallic Ceo Terry Lynch

Exploration Update

Power Metallic is expecting to receive the balance of the fall drill holes within the month of February. It will provide a detailed update on the exploration the company is conducting on Lion West, The Hydro lands, Tiger Deep and the Elephant exploration plays as well as initial exploration on the Li-FT acquisition ground. In addition, there will be further updates on the Lion Zone East expansion drilling following the recently recognized high grade east plunging mineralization structures extending from the Lion main zone.

Release – Comstock Metals Completes All Permits for First of Its Kind Recycling Facility

Research News and Market Data on LODE

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., January 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) and Comstock Metals LLC (“Comstock Metals”), a leader in the responsible recycling of end-of-life solar panels with the only certified, North American, zero-landfill solution, announced today that it has received its Written Determination Permit from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection – Bureau of Sustainable Materials Management (NDEP-BSMM), for the processing of waste solar panels and photovoltaics for its industry-scale materials recovery facility located in Silver Springs, NV. This timely and final required approval results in a fully permitted operation and facility and keeps our scale up plans for commissioning this industry-first, large scale processing facility in Silver Springs, NV, right on schedule.

On January 5, 2026, Comstock Metals received a similar notification of approval for the associated Air Quality control permit. These last two permits, represent the complete scope of required regulatory approvals for commissioning the scale up of a facility designed for processing more than 3 million panels per year from one, continuous production line, representing up to 100,000 tons per year of waste materials being processed. This facility integrates technologies for efficiently crushing, conditioning, extracting, and recycling metal concentrates from photovoltaics. The Company previously ordered all of the equipment and  received deliveries during Q4 2025 and remains on schedule for receiving the rest of the equipment, installing, testing, and commissioning this first of its kind industry-scale facility during the first quarter of 2026.

“We appreciate BSMM’s collaborative engagement in issuing the first industry-scale Written Determination permit for solar panel recycling, a key regulatory milestone that enables Nevada’s only zero-landfill, high-volume, end-of-life solar panel recycling solution serving the broader region,” said Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, President of Comstock Metals. “This authorization aligns with our original permitting timeline and reflects the effectiveness of our regulatory strategy, the strength of our relationships with regulators, and the successful execution of a complex, first-of-its-kind permitting process.”

Many of the U.S. solar panels have been deployed in the southwestern U.S., primarily California, Arizona, and Nevada, with decommissioning of these solar panels occurring now, accelerating supply and increasing the demand for environmentally responsible end-of-life solutions. Comstock has positioned itself to ensure the safe deconstruction and productive reuse of these important materials. Establishing our platform in Nevada establishes the leading solar recycling position over more than half the U.S. market for end-of-life panels and establishes a platform for rapid expansion across the rest of the United States.

“Comstock Metals is setting the global standard in solar panel recycling by creating a scalable, reliable, efficient, and optimized network of decommissioning, collecting, aggregating, storing and full-recovery processing (and ultimately refining) nodes designed and built for speed and scale,” said Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman and CEO of Comstock. “Most of the industry is still getting their heads around the magnitude of inevitable end of life panel dilemma, measured in the billions of panels, while we deploy and deliver a full end of life solution.”

About Comstock Inc.

Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) innovates and commercializes technologies, systems and supply chains that enable, support and sustain clean energy systems by efficiently, effectively, and expediently extracting and converting under-utilized natural resources into reusable metals, like silver, aluminum, gold, and other critical minerals, primarily from end-of-life photovoltaics.

Release – Nicola Mining’s Dominion Gold Project Assays Return Up To 113 Grams Gold Per Tonne / 3.31 Ozt Gold Per Ton

Research News and Market Data on HUSIF

November 10, 2025

News Releases

VANCOUVER, B.C., November 10, 2025 – Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM)(FSE: HLIA) (OTCQB: HUSIF), (the “Company” or “Nicola”) is pleased to announce that it received final assays from the Dominion Gold Project (“Dominion Gold”).  The Company provided an update on its 2025 work on November 4, 2025.  Chip samples were taken from all five veins, three of which are newly discovered, to measure exposed vein grades prior to commencing extraction, Figure 1.

A sampling program targeting the exposures of the new veins discovered during development work for the bulk sampling of the pit and 16 veins to determine if the new veins carried high enough gold values to warrant including them in the bulk sample. A total of nine samples, including one sample of waste rock that is not included, were collected by the mine manager, Alan Raven, and his co-manager, Randy Mervyn, on October 6th and 7th.

Samples from the pit vein are similar to the historic high-grade samples. Pit Vein sample spans across the 2.7 metres of the exposed vein with a 1×1 metre panel sample of the vein taken within the pit. The 5-metre exposure was not sampled this trip as it was underwater. The results are representative of the high-grade mineralization in the veins and not of the total volume of material being extracted for the bulk sample.

   Table 1:  Chip Sampling Across Exposed Veins

Sample #g/t Auoz/t AuLocationSample Area

DC25-1937.21.0916 Vein1.4m
DC25-209.40.2716 East Vein1.6m

   Note:  See Figure 2 on next page for map

Key Takeaways include the following:

  • All veins remain open in all directions.
  • The West Vein, Mid West Vein and 16 East Vein were all previously unknown.
  • Previously unknown 16 East Vein has been followed for 40 metres at surface but remains open in all directions.
  • Pit Vein sample spans across the five metres of the exposed vein.
  • Under terms of the agreement, Nicola holds a 75% economic interest, after which it owns 100% of the Dominion Gold.

The samples were collected from a typical area of each new exposure to help determine the average grade of the veins sampled. Sampling was done using a hammer and rock chisel, samples were placed in a poly bag, labeled on the outside with a sample number with a corresponding number written on survey flagging and placed inside the sample bag, and secured with a zip tie. Samples averaged 2 to 3.5 kilograms each. The samples were then transported by the mine manager, Alan Raven, to his residence, stored in locked facilities until they were transported and delivered on October 30 to Paragon Geochemical laboratory in Surrey BC, an independent ISO 17025:2017 accredited geochemical testing laboratory. Samples were crushed and pulverized (lab code PREP) then analyzed for gold using 2-cycle PhotonAssayTM (lab code (PA-AU02 Au).  The analytical results that the present exposures of the West vein and the Mid-west vein indicate that they are not of a high enough grade to be included in the bulk sample.

Figure 2. Current Map of Dominion Gold Project
(modified from 2020 to include new veins and sample locations; note that DC-25-18 was waste pile sample)  

Mr. Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., commented, “We had expected the grades to be high and assay results clearly confirm what we had hoped for. However, the scale and new vein discoveries were, unanticipated exciting revelations of Dominion’s long-term potential.  During 2026 we will focus on both bulk sample extraction and better understanding of project scale.”  

Nicola also announces that it has provided Talisker Resources Inc., 60 days’ notice after which it the Company will no longer accept ore for processing at its Merritt facility.

The scientific and technical disclosures included in this news release have been reviewed and approved by Will Whitty, P.Geo., who is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Whitty is Vice President of Exploration for the Company.

DOMINION CREEK PROPERTY HISTORY

The Dominion Creek Property consists of 9 mineral claims (55 units) totaling approximately 1,058 hectares. The property was acquired from the prospector N. Kencayd by Noranda Exploration Company Ltd. in 1986. Noranda subsequently conducted geological, geochemical, and geophysical surveys which culminated in an increase in their land position. Between 1987 and 1990, Noranda’s exploration program included a small (20 samples) geochemical silt sample survey. Encouraged by those results, a larger soil geochemical survey (3,399 samples) was conducted. Noranda drilled a total of 53 shallow diamond drill holes, totaling 3,483.86 meters (average depth of approximately 65.7 meters). Trenching of several coincident Pb, Zn, Cu, Ag and Au soil geochemistry anomalies resulted in the discovery of several mineralized quartz veins.

Release – Comstock Metals Receives Solar Panel Processing Industrial Scale Written Determination

Research News and Market Data on LODE

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., November 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) and Comstock Metals LLC (“Comstock Metals”), a leader in the responsible recycling of end-of-life solar panels with the only certified, north American, zero-landfill solution, announced today that it has received its notification of eligibility for a Written Determination Permit from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection – Bureau of Sustainable Materials Management (NDEP-BSMM), subject to certain normal compliance  conditions and public notice periods, for the processing of waste solar panels and photovoltaics for its industry-scale materials recovery facility located in Silver Springs, NV. This timely approval keeps our scale up plans for commissioning our first industry-scale facility in Silver Springs, NV, right on schedule.

Comstock Metals expects the receipt of a similar notification of approval for the Air Quality control permit in the next few weeks, also with the normal conditions and public notice period. These permits, once final, represent the complete scope of required regulatory approvals for commissioning the scale up of a facility designed for processing over 3 million panels per year from one, continuous production line, representing up to 100,000 tons per year of waste materials being processed. This facility integrates technologies for efficiently crushing, conditioning, extracting, and recycling metal concentrates from photovoltaics. The Company previously ordered all of the equipment and expects deliveries by year end, so that it can commence installation, testing, and commissioning of the industry-scale facility during the first quarter of 2026.

“We appreciate BSMM’s collaborative efforts in issuing this first solar panel recycling Written Determination permit and enabling the only Nevada-based, zero-landfill, end-of-life solar panel solution serving this broad region and keeping these critical materials out of our landfills,” said Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, President of Comstock Metals. “Our original expectations for the receipt of these permits were for the end of October, so these notifications keep us right on schedule. This is a true testament to the strong working relationship we have with our regulators and the successful efforts of a complex process.”

Most of the U.S. solar panels have been deployed in the southwestern U.S., primarily California, Arizona, and Nevada, with decommissioning of these solar panels occurring now, accelerating supply and increasing the demand for environmentally responsible end-of-life solutions. Comstock has positioned itself to ensure the safe deconstruction and productive reuse of these important materials. Establishing our platform in Nevada establishes the leading solar recycling position over more than half the U.S. market for end-of-life panels and establishes a platform for rapid expansion across the rest of the United States.

“We are receiving waste panels continuously into our facility and very much look forward to commencing our commissioning activities. We are receiving more and more customer inquiries as waste panels are becoming rapidly available from many different sources, directly enabling and supporting our ramp up efforts” stated Dr. Villamagna.

“We have quickly established a leadership position in this readily available, and rapidly growing photovoltaic market,” stated Corrado De Gasperis, Comstock’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “Our metals team is already assessing additional sites for our industry scale solution and an expanded storage capability, as we look to capitalize and expand our lead in this rapidly growing end-of-life solar dilemma. Comstock Metals is the leading zero-landfill, end-of-life solution for these wasted solar panels.”

Release – Nicola Mining Provides Update On Dominion Gold Project

Research News and Market Data on HUSIF

November 4, 2025

News Releases

VANCOUVER, B.C., November 4, 2025 – Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX.V: NIM)(FSE: HLI) (OTCQB: HUSIF), (the “Company” or “Nicola”) is pleased to announce that it has completed work at Dominion for 2025 and has completed all mine development for the 10,000 bulk sample, which is planned to recommence in July of 2026.  Initially, the Company had planned to ship up to 2000 tonnes to the Nicola mill in 2025 for processing, but opted to wait until next year for two reasons:

Weather: Abnormally high rainfall during August and September would likely degrade the haul road from overuse. 

Project Size: During the mine development phase (“Development Phase”), which commenced in August following completion of haul road upgrades, a landing area (“Landing”) was constructed to provide access for vein extraction.  The Development Phase included lowering the entire Landing by approximately 6 metres to create a face suited for vein extraction.  While developing the Landing, three additional veins were discovered.

Dominion Map Higlighting 2025 Work and Vein Discoveries

Figure 1. Map showing the locations of 3 new veins discovered in 2025.
Note: The map is from 2020 due diligence with additional of veins uncovered in 2025 indicated.

Historically Known Veins:

  • South Pit Vein: Historically known vein from which previously chip samples were taken in 2020 Link.  Samples taken were comprised of two South Pit Samples and two 16 Vein Samples.  During 2025, the Company commenced vein extraction in the South Pit Zone, having moved the Landing down and working into the vein approximately 2 metres.  Approximately 20 metres from the entrance, the vein expands to approximately 5 metres in width.
  • 16 Vein: This historically known vein is located approximately 20 metres from the South Pit Vein. Chip samples and grab samples were taken from the vein during the October 14, 2020 due diligence process.

Newly Exposed Veins:

  • Mid-West Vein: Located 13 metres from the South Pit Vein.  The vein is approximately 1 metre wide and exposed over 3 metres.
  • West Vein: Located 12 metres from the Mid-West Vein. The vein is approximately 3 metres wide and exposed over 6 metres.
  • 16 East Vein: Located 1.5-2 metres east of the 16 Vein. It is approximately 1.5 metres wide and exposed over 40 metres.

Samples from the newly exposed veins were taken by site crew and brought to Paragon Geochemical for analysis. Paragon Geochemical is an ISO 17025:2017 accredited geochemical testing laboratory providing analytical services to the mining industry.  Results will be released upon receipt.

Figure 6. Mid-West Vein

Mr. Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., commented, “We have been pleasantly surprised with the work at Dominion, which clearly indicates that the project is larger than initially anticipated.  For the 2026 Program, we now have 5 open faces that are accessible from the Landing to give approximately 6 metres of strike length for extraction. These exposed veins also represent attractive exploration targets as they are open at depth.”

Trenching of several coincident Pb, Zn, Cu, Ag and Au soil geochemistry anomalies resulted in the discovery of several mineralized quartz veins.

Drilling in the South Zone covered an area of approximately 300 meters by 200 meters. Limited drilling in the North Zone covered two small areas (approximately 50 meters by 60 meters) 300 meters apart. The drill targets were selected using the soil geochemistry survey data and outcrop sampling from trenches and the drill access road data. Noranda subsequently returned the property to N. Kencayd, who sold it to A. Raven in 1989.

Third quarter financial results. Alliance reported third quarter adjusted EBITDA and earnings per unit (EPU) of $185.8 million and $0.73, respectively, compared to $170.4 million and $0.66 during the prior year period. We had projected EBITDA and EPU of $176.2 million and $0.68. Total revenue amounted to $571.4 million compared to $613.6 million during the prior year period and our $577.9 million estimate. While revenue from coal sales exceeded our estimate, oil and gas royalties, transportation, and other revenues were below. Third quarter results benefited from expenses that were lower than our estimates and contributions from equity method investments and the change in value of ARLP’s digital assets.

Outlook for the remainder of 2025 and 2026. Management updated its 2025 guidance. Within ARLP’s coal operation, guidance ranges were narrowed. Total sales are expected to be between 32.50 million tons and 33.25 million tons compared to prior guidance of between 32.75 million tons and 34.0 million tons. Within the oil and gas royalty segment, volumes were lowered to reflect the timing of a multi-well pad in the Delaware Basin of the Permian, which is expected to come online in early 2026.
