TORONTO, CANADA (By Power Metallic, 22.Sep.2025, Words: 485) — Power Metallic Mines Inc. announced completion of the summer drill program and the return of 5 holes from the 2025 drill campaign focused on the Lion Zon.
The summer program included the drilling of 34 holes for a total of 17,250m drilled. 3 holes were in progress when the drilling season ended due to Moose Break on 15 Sep. 2025. Of the 34 holes, 13 holes were surveyed with Bore Hole Electromagnetic (BHEM). Summer program drilling focus areas can be seen over the entirety of Power Metallic’s land package.
Power Metallic announced the return of 5 holes from the spring 2025 drilling campaign focused on the Lion Zone. The 5 holes were testing plunge extension (PML-25-014) and conducting in-fill drilling to approximately 50m centers for future mineral resource estimations (PML-25-015, PML-25-016A, PML-25-018, PML-25-020).
The summer drill campaign targeted several different prospective areas with total meters drilled of approximately 17,250m. This included:
| • Lion Extensional Drilling | 3,929m | |
| • Lion In-fill drilling for future Mineral Resource Estimation | 5,845m | |
| • Tiger Area drilling | 2,067m | |
| • Nisk Deposit Drilling | 3,575m | |
| • Regional Exploration drilling (new Li-FT acquisition ground) | 1,833m |
The initial summer 2025 drill plan had proposed to complete extension holes following the Lion Zone plunge. One of the extension holes results is included in this news release (PML-25-014) and results for subsequent extension holes are pending. To facilitate this drilling in the Lion area required crossing streams and marshes to make it accessible to overland haulage of drill equipment. Environmental assessment was carried out and recommendations were to create a drill mat road with bridged stream crossings to make the Lion area accessible to more powerful skid mounted drills. This change has allowed the extensional drilling at Lion to resume and Power Metallic expects much better extensional drilling productivity from the larger drills as we move into the fall campaign. The drill roads also provide guaranteed access to the Lion area all year round with no need to stop for seasonal changes.
There are no assay results yet from drilling the Tiger area, which includes extensional exploration holes between the Lion and Tiger zones. All the Tiger area holes as well as the Lion Extensional holes, the Nisk deposit holes, and the regional exploration holes received bore hole EM surveys.
One of the heli-portable drills has now been re-assigned to drilling airborne EM anomalies developed from our recently completed VTEM property wide survey (regional exploration holes). This survey resulted in many conductors which are being prioritised for drilling based on our summer reconnaissance mapping and prospecting program that was designed to identify favourable geology for polymetallic deposits. All holes to date have hit sulphide bearing structures, verifying the BHEM conductors. Assay results from this exploration drill program are pending.
