Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN | OTCBB: PNPNF | Frankfurt: IVV) has announced the return of four holes from the winter 2025 drilling campaign focused on the Tiger Zone, Canada.
The four holes (PN-25-098, 099, 101, 102) were testing off-hole EM (BHEM) anomalies generated from previously reported drill holes PN-24-090 and 094. All holes hit Lion style polymetallic mineralization (copper dominant) at shallow vertical depths from 50-100m below surface.
Power Metallic has been exploring multiple zones during the winter 2025 campaign, including the Lion Zone, Nisk Zone, Nisk East Zone, and Tiger Zone. The targets of the winter drilling extends over approximately 8km of strike of favorable stratigraphy.
Commenting on the results to-date at Tiger, CEO Terry Lynch stated “As a stand-alone prospect, Tiger is becoming increasingly compelling. It’s not yet at Lion’s level, but recent results show clear promise. With operations paused for the annual goose hunt, we’re reviewing new drill data, re-evaluating geophysics, and preparing Tiger, Lion, and our other zones for a major ramp-up this summer with six rigs.”
Tiger currently remains the smallest mineralized zone along the Nisk trend but retains good potential for a significant polymetallic discovery. Significant Lion style mineralization was intersected in holes PN-25-099 and 102.
Hole PN-25-099 is the first indication at Tiger of broader widths of a Lion style polymetallic zone (14.3m @ 0.96% CuEqRec including 6.0m @ 1.84% CuEqRec). This intersection appears to be an up plunge extension of mineralization in hole PN-24-094.
Hole PN-25-102 had a narrow Lion style zone, but the high-grade tenor of the Cu dominant mineralization (1.00m at 6.37% CuEqRec) in this hole is similar to the high-grade Lion Zone.
The very shallow depths of these intersections (40-60m below surface), and the +300m distance along strike between the holes provides a large untested area for additional exploration.
BHEM completed on these four holes has defined multiple off-hole EM anomalies that will help direct future exploration in this area when Power Metallic returns following spring break.
In the coming weeks drilling results from the remaining 20 drill holes completed in the winter 2025 programme will be logged, sampled and assayed. It is anticipated that assay for four holes from the Lion Zone (holes PN-25-096, 097, 100, and PML-25-001) will be released shortly.
