PTX Metals Inc. Step-Out Drill Hole Intercepts 213 Combined Meters of Mineralization and Ends in Higher Grade Zone at Depth at Its W2 Copper-Nickel-PGE and Gold Project

PTX Metals expands W2 footprint with 213-meter intercept as uranium spin-out nears completion

Executive Summary

The most recent news (March 10, 2026) reports significant assay results from the 5,000m drilling program at the W2 Copper-Nickel-PGE project. Drill hole W225-13 intercepted a combined 213.85m of mineralization. Key highlights include a high-grade copper zone (2.79% Cu over 0.75m) and wide intervals of lower-grade mineralization (107.15m at 0.28% CuEq and 68.30m at 0.46% CuEq). Crucially, the hole ended in a higher-grade zone at depth, suggesting the system remains open. This follows news from March 4, 2026, confirming that PTX’s equity holding, Green Canada Corporation (GCC), has entered a definitive agreement for a reverse takeover (RTO) to become a standalone uranium-focused entity.

Material Impact

The drilling results are Material - Positive because they confirm the scale of the W2 system, extending the CA1 zone footprint to a 1km x 1.2km block. The fact that the hole ended in mineralization at depth provides a clear geological catalyst for further deep drilling. - Operational Impact: Validates the 3D geological model and the correlation between magnetic anomalies and mineralization. - Strategic Impact: The GCC RTO (Green Canada Uranium Corp) effectively "unlocks" value from the uranium portfolio, allowing PTX to focus capital on W2 and Shining Tree while retaining a significant equity stake (approx. 48%) in a newly listed vehicle. - Financial Impact: The company successfully raised over $6.6M in late 2025, providing the runway for the current 5,000m program. However, the high burn rate associated with large-scale drilling means capital preservation is key.
