Power Metallic Mines advances Lion Zone development with positive mineralogy scan results

Power Metallic Mines CEO Terry Lynch joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on promising preliminary mineralogy results from the Lion Zone, a key target at the company’s flagship project. The scans are part of a broader effort to inform future metallurgical recovery studies and unlock the full value of the deposit. Microscopic mineral scans were conducted on a suite of over 100 samples collected from different mineralized zones at Lion. Approximately half of the samples have been analyzed to date, with results suggesting strong potential for conventional sulphide concentrate recovery—a promising sign for downstream processing and overall project economics. Lynch explained that drilling has identified two distinct mineralized zones within the Lion deposit: • A High-Grade Zone containing the majority of the deposit’s metal value. • A lower-grade Hanging-wall Zone with more dispersed mineralization. The High-Grade Zone, which consists of semi-massive to massive copper sulphide mineralization, has emerged as the central focus of development. According to Lynch, the scans revealed that copper mineralization is predominantly hosted in coarse-grained chalcopyrite and cubanite—minerals known to respond well to conventional sulphide flotation methods, similar to those used in Sudbury-type ore processing. Additionally, the IOS analysis has helped map the presence and distribution of valuable metals like copper and platinum group elements (PGEs), offering key insights into their mineral species and host rock characteristics. This level of mineralogical detail is essential for accurately predicting metallurgical recoveries and refining process design. Lynch noted that these early results bolster confidence in the Lion Zone’s economic potential and reinforce the company’s strategy to advance toward feasibility studies with a well-informed, data-driven approach. Further mineralogical work is ongoing, with full results expected to guide the next phase of metallurgical testing and project planning. #proactiveinvestors #powermetallicmines #tsxv #pnpn #otcqb #cmetf #nickel #mining #invest #investing #PowerMetallicMines #MiningIndustry #PolymetallicExploration #Copper #Nickel #TSXVenture #TerryLynch #ProactiveInvestors #InstitutionalInvestment #Gold #Silver #PGMs #Investing #ResourceSector #MiningNews
