Perseverance Metals Inc. has launched its summer 2026 drilling campaign at the Lac Gayot project in Quebec, with a target of at least 5,000 meters. The initiative concentrates on the Venus East Trend to expand known nickel sulphide lenses, specifically Baseline, Nasique, Macaque, and Babouin, while utilizing ground and airborne electromagnetic surveys to guide exploration toward new discoveries.
Simultaneously, at the Voyageur project in Michigan, the company’s first drill rig has arrived on site after previous equipment delivery delays. Testing of the top-priority Osprey target is scheduled to commence immediately.
In corporate developments, Perseverance Metals Inc. granted 75,000 stock options to a director at $0.65 per share. These options vest over 36 months and expire in 60 months.
