J2 Metals Announces IP Survey Has Been Mobilized at Miniac in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt to Vector for Planned Phase II Drilling

J2 Metals Mobilizes Survey at Miniac as Stock Lags Financing Price

Executive Summary
  • On April 13, 2026, J2 Metals announced that Abitibi Geophysics has commenced a 41 km high-resolution Induced Polarization (IP) survey on the 100% owned Miniac Project in Quebec.
  • The survey utilizes proprietary OreVision™ 2DIP system to refine drill targets for an upcoming Phase II diamond drilling program.
  • Recent IP work identified 19 high-priority targets along a largely untested 7 km conductive horizon.
  • Board changes occurred: Steven Gold appointed (former President/CEO of Jaguar Uranium Corp.), Dimitry Serov resigned.
  • Historic drill intercepts cited include 1.05 g/t Au over 4.65 m and polymetallic results, but grades remain modest compared to high-grade epithermal targets elsewhere in the portfolio.
  • This follows a flow-through private placement extension announced March 18, 2026, with closing extended to April 15, 2026.
Material Impact
  • Progress vs. Expectation: The mobilization of the IP survey is an expected operational milestone following the financing secured in February and March 2026. It confirms management is executing on the exploration plan but does not provide new geological data or drill results.
  • Price Sensitivity: The stock price ($0.27) remains below the recent flow-through financing price of $0.35 (March/April 2026). This indicates that the market views the news as insufficient to justify a re-rating above recent capital costs.
  • Board Change: The appointment of Steven Gold adds financial expertise but does not immediately alter the geological risk profile.
  • Risk Profile: While positive for project advancement, the news is routine exploration activity. It does not mitigate the dilution from multiple private placements at $0.12, $0.25, and $0.35 over the last six months.
