Lion Zone Delivers Second Best Intersection Ever As Power Metallic intercepts 22.00 Meters of 11.46% CuEqRec Superscript 1 in Hole 26-095

Lion Zone Infill Confirms Grade Continuity Ahead of Q3 MRE

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis May 06, 2026 · 02:30 PNPN · 1.29 Power Metallic Mines Inc.
Executive Summary
  • Power Metallic Mines Inc. released assay results from Hole PML-26-095 at the Lion Zone on May 6, 2026.
  • The hole intersected 22.00 meters at 11.46% CuEqRec, described as the second-best intersection to date.
  • Sub-intervals within the hole reached up to 18.62% CuEqRec over 4.00 meters and 18.59% CuEqRec over 6.50 meters.
  • The drilling is part of an infill program designed to support the inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) expected in Q3 2026.
  • CEO Terry Lynch stated that grade and thickness are being maintained or increasing as they advance toward the MRE.
  • Additional holes PML-26-094 and PML-26-101 released on May 4, 2026, showed similar high-grade results (up to 17.45m @ 9.47% CuEqRec).
Material Impact
  • The news is consistent with the trajectory of drilling results from Q1 and Q2 2026, which have already established the Lion Zone as a world-class high-grade discovery.
  • While the grades are exceptional (11.46% CuEqRec), this is infill drilling for an MRE that was previously announced for Q3 2026; therefore, the market likely anticipated these results.
  • The "Second Best Intersection" designation confirms continuity but does not represent a new discovery vector or expansion of the resource footprint beyond what was already modeled in previous holes.
  • Given the consistent stream of high-grade infill results since March 2026 (rated Material - Positive previously), this release is viewed as execution of an expected plan rather than a surprise catalyst.
  • The metallurgical recoveries reported in January 2026 (98.9% Cu) remain the primary value driver, and these drilling results support that narrative without adding new financial variables.
