At PDAC 2026 in Toronto, InvestorNews host Peter Clausi spoke with Terry Lynch, CEO and Director of Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN | OTCQB: PNPNF), about the company’s drilling program at the Lion discovery within its Nisk Project Area in Quebec’s James Bay region.

“We’re busy. We’re doing a lot of work,” Lynch said. “When you’re drilling 100,000 metres, you’re going to have some results.”

The drilling is focused on the Lion zone, located near the Cree community of Nemaska. “Lion is in Quebec, just outside of Nemaska, south and east of James Bay,” Lynch said. “You can drive to it right off Route du Nord, right to the rig. It’s about eight kilometres outside the town of Nemaska, which has a regional airport.”

Recent drill results have included high-grade copper equivalent intercepts. Clausi noted the quality of the calculations. “One of my pet peeves in the mining industry is people who play games with their EQs, and these are done well.”

“Yes, we do it the right way,” Lynch said.

Analysts have suggested the discovery could host between 8 and 13 million tonnes grading 5% to 7% copper equivalent. “It’s a crazy number,” Lynch said, contrasting it with typical copper operations. “The average grade of a copper mine is 0.4%.”

He recalled earlier drill results that included 32 metres grading 7%. “My view was that this was actually better because we don’t have to mine 100 metres to get that value. We can mine 30 metres and get 7%.”

The company has completed 35,000 metres of the planned 100,000-metre drill program. “We’ve got about another 10,000 metres or so to report in the next two weeks,” Lynch said. “What we’ve said publicly is that they’re going to show the Lion Zone is growing, and that we may have found a second Lion zone.”

The program is supported by strong financing. “We did a flow-through last year for $50 million,” Lynch said. “We had $33 million in the bank at the last quarter, so we’re well funded.”

Recent metallurgical testing has also delivered strong recoveries. “We had been using 80% recoveries for our copper equivalent, and we delivered 95%,” Lynch said. “It was 98.9% on copper. It was a locked-cycle test, a full run-of-mine test with SGS.”

“So I think we’re going to accelerate our PEA and try to get that out this fall,” Lynch said. “I think that will demonstrate a really robust mine scenario with a high IRR.”

In the fiercely competitive realm of junior mining and critical minerals, Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN | OTCQB: PNPNF) is attempting to make the leap from a prospect generator to a scalable, institutionally credible developer. Under the leadership of CEO Terry Lynch, the company has issued a steady stream of news in recent weeks—assay results, land consolidation, and metallurgical updates—that reflect both ambition and the inherent fragility of this transition.

On September 22, 2025, Power Metallic released assay results from its summer drill campaign focused on the Lion Zone—the heart of its Nisk–Lion–Tiger polymetallic system in Québec. The company reported that it had drilled 34 holes totaling approximately 17,250 m, including 13 holes surveyed using bore-hole electromagnetic (BHEM) techniques to detect off-hole conductors. One of the extension holes, PML-25-014, was highlighted in the release; results from others remain pending. To reach the Lion area, the company constructed drill-mat roads and bridged stream crossings—a logistical investment designed to enable all-season access and more powerful skid drills. (Joseph Campbell, P.Geo, VP Exploration, reviewed and approved the technical disclosure.)

The assays returned strong intervals: 22.66 m of 4.57% CuEq (copper equivalent), including 6.05 m of 9.70% CuEq in Hole 020, and 28.0 m of 4.28% CuEq, including 3.4 m of 15.45% CuEq in Hole 015. CuEq, or copper equivalent, expresses the combined economic value of all metals in the mineralized zone—such as copper, nickel, and platinum group elements—as if they were copper, allowing investors to compare polymetallic results on a single scale. The company also emphasized that all Pegasus-area and regional holes, including those drilled toward the Tiger and Nisk axes, have undergone BHEM—a reflection of its strategy to marry drilling and geophysics. In its commentary, Lynch asserted that, while drilling is essential, the company’s broader priority this season had been land expansion. He pointed to a “Lift Package” initiative and a newly lifted Hydro-Québec restriction (helped in part by collaboration with the James Bay Cree) as catalysts for unlocking previously off-limits mineral ground.

That land effort has measurable teeth. In July, Power Metallic closed on its acquisition of 313 mineral claims (~167 km²) from Li-FT Power, more than tripling the footprint of its Nisk camp to ~212.86 km² and enveloping ~50 km of prospective strike. The strategic architecture is clear: the Lion, Nisk, and Tiger discoveries now lie inside a contiguous land envelope, enabling follow-up drilling across feeder zones and corridor strike. Li-FT retains a 0.5 % NSR.

On the metallurgical front, Power Metallic reported positive preliminary mineralogy results in July. The tests suggest that PGE enrichment is occurring in association with chalcopyrite and cubanite zones. The company plans to move to scoping-level metallurgical work ahead of its winter drill season, with results expected early in 2026.

Yet even amid the optimism, it is important to emphasize that Power Metallic remains firmly in the pre-resource, pre-revenue stage, and it is still some distance from defining a maiden NI 43-101 resource. Critical parameters—grade consistency, block continuity, pit shell optimization, and geotechnical constraints—are not yet proven. The company’s near-term strategy hinges on sustaining a high cadence of newsflow—regular assay releases, land tenure updates, and geophysical integration—to maintain momentum in the capital markets. But the real challenge lies in translating that narrative into tangible deliverables. Permit approvals, meaningful community engagement, assay laboratory turnaround delays, and infrastructure buildout all pose real operational headwinds.

Terry Lynch’s role has become more pivotal than ever in guiding this ascent. He often insists that “land is as important as drill holes,” signaling a conviction that controlling feeder zones and district-scale corridors has asymmetric value. Under his stewardship, the company has assembled a shareholder registry anchored by deep-pocketed backers, including some of the world’s more prominent mining billionaires. In a recent profile, Lynch cited support from names such as Robert Friedland, Rob McEwen, Gina Rinehart, and 15 other billionaire investors who “can write big checks without worrying,” crediting that backing as essential for weathering volatile commodity cycles and enabling ambitious drilling plans. The company’s storyline is gradually shifting from a speculative junior explorer to a high-conviction mid-tier aspirant.

Indeed, the interest of billionaires becomes more than a vanity metric: it underscores confidence in the project’s upside and helps open doors in institutional circles. Their engagement enhances the narrative of scale and signals that those accustomed to writing large checks see optionality and potential. Lynch himself has leaned into that symbolism in interviews, framing their backing as validation not only of the company’s geology but of its leadership and execution credibility.

Still, the company’s plan to uplist—particularly in U.S. markets—introduces elevated expectations. Enhanced disclosure, quarterly reporting, and higher scrutiny will test its ability to execute with transparency. The difference between ambition and achievement lies in execution: unfocused expansion, misallocation of capital, or failure to deliver a coherent geological model invites criticism from institutional investors. Striking the balance between aggressive growth and financial prudence will be critical.

From the vantage point of capital markets, the coming months are a proving ground. Power Metallic must not only maintain the drumbeat of assay announcements but also ensure that infill and plunge-extension drilling validate continuity. The open bidding and registration of additional claims—made possible by Hydro-Québec’s recent lifting of restrictions—represent high-leverage optionality: success here could meaningfully expand the Lion–Tiger corridor. Concurrently, metallurgical and mineralogical results must cohere with grade and thickness to support future mining scenarios.

In sum, Power Metallic is executing a high-conviction scaling play: bold drilling, sweeping land consolidation, and a rebranding in the capital markets that signals a shift from speculative junior to serious contender. The fact that billionaires are lining up behind the story doesn’t just accelerate the narrative—it gives it gravitational pull in institutional circles. But to leap into the ranks of credible miners, the company must continue delivering operational discipline, execute technical work with precision and pace, and validate a scalable, investible model. Lynch may be the face and storyteller, but the market’s verdict will come down to raw metrics: will the assay tables show continuity, will the infrastructure support scale, and will execution meet promise? If those boxes are checked, Power Metallic might not just live up to its ambitions—it could rewrite expectations.

September 03, 2025 — Canada’s next polymetallic mine is being mapped foot by foot beneath a quilt of muskeg and black spruce in Québec’s James Bay, where the drills of Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN | OTCQB: PNPNF) chew through ultramafic rock at a pace few juniors can finance, let alone sustain. Power Metallic Mines—formed around the Nisk Project Area and now expanded to encompass the Nisk-Lion-Tiger corridor—controls roughly 213 km² of prospective ground, a land position that swelled to three-and-a-half times its original size after a deal with Li-FT Power earlier this summer. “We went out and made the deal with Li-FT and acquired all that land,” Chief Executive Terry Lynch told InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes. “That was our biggest move.” Then the company put steel in the ground: by mid-September the drill meters will stand near 22,000, just the first leg of a 100,000-meter campaign budgeted over two years.

The scale of the assault is backed by an investor registry more reminiscent of a mid-tier producer than an exploration story. “We raised $50 million in February,” Lynch said, reeling off names like Robert Friedland, Rob McEwen and Gina Rinehart—15 billionaires in total. “In this very tough mining finance market, if we didn’t have the support of those key individuals who can write big checks without worrying, we wouldn’t be here.” That capital freed the team to chase the orthomagmatic Lion Zone, where step-out holes have returned intervals that made Power Metallic the top-performing mining stock on the TSX Venture in 2024. “We were getting 32 meters of 7 percent copper equivalent,” Lynch said, “numbers that are unheard of.”

Those numbers also demanded fresh political and technical horsepower. Former federal minister Seamus O’Regan—with cabinet stints in Natural Resources and Indigenous Affairs—has joined the board. “He understands how government looks at these issues and who to talk to,” Lynch noted, pointing to federal permits and community partnerships that will frame the project’s next phase. The company has already begun liaising with Québec’s assay labs, though Lynch admitted the backlog is real: “Honestly, I thought we’d be out with some assays by now, but there was a delay. It looks like next week we’ll start to get the assays out, and after that they’ll be out every three or four weeks.”

If Nisk and Lion define the present, Saudi Arabia may frame the future. A two-year courtship with Riyadh culminated in Power Metallic winning the Jabul Baudan exploration license—over 200 km² in the Jabal Sayid belt. The kingdom, eager to seed its nascent mining sector with experienced explorers, promised introductions to five family offices whose capital bases dwarf most institutional funds. “The smallest guy we met was $50 billion,” Lynch said. While he insists that “95 percent of our focus is on Nisk,” the Arabian franchise is insurance against the tyranny of single-asset risk.

Back in Québec, the science is catching up with the share-price narrative. July 23 mineralogy scans by IOS Geosciences confirmed that the high-grade copper and PGEs at Lion sit in coarse chalcopyrite and cubanite—sulphides familiar to Sudbury and Norilsk concentrators. Most of the precious-metal species are locked within or attached to those copper minerals, suggesting they will travel together in a conventional sulphide concentrate. It is precisely the kind of metallurgy a financing committee wants to see before writing the next cheque.

Polymetallic, Lynch reminds, simply means multiple pay metals, but the economics are anything but simple. The original Nisk nickel sulphide averaged rock value of roughly $200 to $250 a tonne; the Lion Zone lifted that to $500, even $1,000. “Obviously, you put your resources where the more money is,” he said, and resources in this case include both drills and land. The newly consolidated district now features eight high-priority targets, seven of which Power Metallic controls outright. “Sudbury’s got 33 mines,” Lynch mused. “I’m not saying there’ll be 33 mines here, but I bet you there’ll be several.”

For now, the immediate deliverables are assays—first from the 22,000 meters in hand, then from the avalanche of core to follow. Results will hit the tape every few weeks for at least a year and a half, a cadence designed to keep the Lion in the headlines and the capital flowing, just as the summer drill crews pivot toward winter pads on ground that may yet host Canada’s next VMS giant.

We found the July 23^rd news release titled, “Power Metallic Demonstrates Positive Initial Mineralogy Results – PGE Enrichment Associated with Chalcopyrite and Cubanite” particularly noteworthy and here are 5 key data points from it:

• Positive Mineralogy Results – Preliminary scans on Lion Zone samples by IOS Geosciences show copper mineralization hosted in coarse-grained chalcopyrite and cubanite, both favorable for recovery using conventional sulphide concentration methods.
• PGE Association with Copper Sulphides – Critically, most platinum group element (PGE) species, including stannopalladinite, froodite, and merenskyite, are found within or attached to chalcopyrite and cubanite, suggesting strong potential for PGE recovery in copper concentrates.
• Deposit Structure – The Lion deposit comprises a High-Grade Zone (hosting the majority of the metal value in semi-massive to massive copper sulphides) and a lower-grade Hanging-wall Zone, with the high-grade portion being the primary economic driver.
• Comparable Systems – The mineralogy parallels that of globally significant deposits such as Sudbury (Canada) and Norilsk (Russia), where similar copper-PGE associations have led to strong metallurgical recoveries.
• Next Steps & Timeline – Mineralogy testing on over 100 selected samples is expected to be complete by end of summer 2025. Scoping-level metallurgical test work will begin ahead of the winter drill program, with initial metallurgical results anticipated in early 2026.

June 20, 2025 — Amid a global scramble for the strategic metal gallium, Quantum Critical Metals Corp. (TSXV: LEAP | OTCQB: ATOXF | FSE: 86A1) is positioning itself as North America’s emerging front-runner. “We have gallium on not one project but two,” CEO Marcy Kiesman told InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes, describing how drill programs meant to hunt lithium and gold instead uncovered “107 meters of consecutive gallium” at the NMX East project and “150 meters” at the Discovery prospect, both road-accessible in Québec’s James Bay region. Citing plans to ship core to three laboratories on each site, she said the team—bolstered by Ph.D. geologists—has “literally hit the ground running” on metallurgy to extract gallium, rubidium, and cesium.

Momentum accelerated after Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN | OTCQB: PNPNF) announced on June 9 an acquisition spree that rings Quantum’s claims on three sides. Kiesman recalled the immediate impact: “That got some telephone calls coming my way,” prompting Quantum to publish a June 10 map “so everybody had an idea what was going on.” Power Metallic’s description of “a new polymetallic district with considerable potential” sent Quantum’s trading volume and share price higher—an unexpected boon for a property the company has held since 2010. “Our early staking strategy is proving its merit,” Kiesman noted, as the region braces for Power Metallic’s planned 100,000-metre drill campaign.

While gallium headlines draw attention, Quantum’s portfolio spans ten projects, from antimony to germanium-gallium-zinc targets in British Columbia, all aimed at what Kiesman calls “the next generation of critical minerals.” Efficiency, she added, hinges on artificial-intelligence partnerships that prune vast land packages into tight exploration corridors. “It saves us a lot of time and a lot of money,” she said, describing how AI cut one B.C. copper prospect “to maybe one-fifth of the size” worth testing and will next “de-risk the polymetallic portion” of NMX East. With metallurgical work under way and buyers for future output already courted, Kiesman promised shareholders “a lot of rare earth and critical mineral news” as 2025 unfolds—an outlook she summed up with characteristic relish: “Every stone we’ve been turning over recently has just been coming up roses.”

TORONTO, ONTARIO – April 15, 2025 – The Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) is pleased to announce that Terry Lynch, Chief Executive Officer of Power Metallic Mines Inc. (TSXV: PNPN | OTCQB: PNPNF), will deliver a keynote address at the prestigious CMI Summit IV, set for May 13–14, 2025, at the National Club in Toronto, Ontario. Mr. Lynch will explore the pivotal topic: “Tariffs and the Strategic Future of North American Critical Minerals.”

Terry Lynch, a recognized industry leader, will delve deeply into the complex dynamics of tariffs, their broader economic implications, and their strategic relevance to North American energy independence and security. With tariffs increasingly employed as instruments of economic and national security policy, Lynch’s insights promise to illuminate both challenges and opportunities inherent in their application.

In advance of his keynote, Terry Lynch offered the following impactful perspective:

“Tariffs are about America prioritizing the security and prosperity of Americans—ensuring that they not only live well but also sleep safely at night. In a geopolitical landscape marked by uncertainty and strategic competition, tariffs become powerful tools, reshaping interest rates and driving commodities markets toward historic corrections. The essential truth is this: secure, reliable, North American sources for critical minerals aren’t merely economic choices—they’re national imperatives. We’re at the cusp of significant strategic shifts, and recognizing this will position policymakers and industry leaders alike to make decisions that shape our collective economic future.”

The theme for this year’s CMI Summit IV—”The War for Critical Minerals and Capital Resources”—reflects the intensifying global competition and geopolitical complexities surrounding these strategic commodities. Lynch’s keynote will join insights from over two dozen industry leaders, collectively shaping this critical conversation.

“Terry Lynch’s address will provide essential clarity for policymakers, industry leaders, and academics alike,” stated Tracy Hughes, Founder and Executive Director of CMI. “His thought leadership on tariffs and market dynamics comes at a pivotal moment, illuminating the interconnected economic and security landscapes we face. Notably, Power Metallic’s Nisk project is particularly relevant, as it encompasses three critical minerals identified on the recently released CMI Critical Minerals List 2025—nickel, copper, and PGMs—highlighting the strategic importance of their efforts.”

The two-day summit agenda features influential keynote speeches, interactive panels, and strategic workshops aimed at forging actionable solutions and strategic partnerships essential for securing the global critical minerals supply chain.

February 10, 2025 — In a recent interview with Tracy Hughes from Investor.News, Terry Lynch, CEO and Director of Power Nickel Inc. (TSXV: PNPN | OTCQB: PNPNF), discussed the significant progress and developments at the company, attributing their remarkable market performance to groundbreaking exploration successes. Lynch emphasized, “It’s definitely the drill bit,” highlighting the company’s discovery at the Nisk project as a pivotal factor driving their stock up by over 500% in 2024. He described the discovery as potentially “world class” and noted that the market is just beginning to grasp the scale and significance of what they have uncovered.

During the interview, Lynch shared insights into Power Nickel’s strategic initiatives, including the impending spin-out of the Golden Ivan property and Chilean assets into a new entity to be named Power Metallic. This reorganization, set to finalize in early February 2025, is designed to enhance the company’s focus on their premier Nisk project, which Lynch praised as “the gift that keeps on giving.” He elaborated on the project’s two distinct discovery zones: the nickel-dominant Nisk main and the copper sulphide dominant, PGE-rich Lion zone. Additionally, Lynch announced a significant new discovery zone, located 700 meters from the main site, with potential reserves estimated between eight to ten million tons at over 5% mineral content. This update underscores Power Nickel’s dedication to enlarging their high-grade nickel-copper PGM, Gold, and Silver deposits through intensive and targeted drilling campaigns.

Lynch also commented on the broader economic implications of political policies such as tariffs, conveying his belief that Power Nickel’s critical mineral endeavors would significantly benefit North American economic and security interests. His remarks reflect a strategic anticipation of aligning the company’s operations with continental priorities, thereby leveraging geopolitical dynamics to bolster Power Nickel’s market position.

September 20, 2024 — In a recent interview with InvestorNews host Tracy Hughes, Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Nickel Inc. (TSXV: PNPN | OTCQB: PNPNF), provided a comprehensive update on the company’s ongoing activities, including the significant progress made during their 2024 summer drilling program. Lynch highlighted the expansion of the Lion Zone at the Nisk project, a high-grade nickel-copper-PGE discovery in Quebec, by 50%. “We reported last week at Beavercreek that we expanded the Lion Zone by 50%,” Lynch stated, emphasizing that 11 out of 13 holes drilled this summer have hit, with many displaying remarkable results. This follows a successful winter drilling program where 16 holes were drilled, 15 of which hit, with more than half producing what Lynch described as “spectacular” results. Lynch noted that these efforts have set the stage for their upcoming 30,000-meter winter drill program.

Lynch also discussed Power Nickel’s strategic partnerships and broader industry appeal, particularly highlighting their collaboration with CVMR Corporation, the largest private nickel refiner in the world. He explained that CVMR is known for producing nickel powders, which are in high demand in sectors such as EV batteries and 3D printing. “We’re really happy with CVMR,” Lynch remarked, adding that the market for nickel powders is growing at an annual rate of 26%. Power Nickel plans to release a feasibility study in the coming weeks related to this partnership.

5-Data Points from Power Nickel’s most recent news release titled, Power Nickel Summer Drilling Program Expands The High Grade Polymetallic Lion Zone by 50%:

1. Expansion of Lion Zone: The summer drilling program has expanded the high-grade Lion Zone by 50%, with drilling revealing both lateral and vertical growth, including an additional 150m in vertical depth.
2. Drilling Results: Out of 12 drill holes, 10 have intercepted sulphide mineralization, suggesting high-grade polymetallic content and extending the zone’s reach to 350m laterally and 450m vertically.
3. New High-Grade Zones Identified: Three key areas were tested in this program, including a west boundary where the zone is thicker and more massive, opening new opportunities for richer mineral deposits.
4. Aggressive Winter Program: Power Nickel is gearing up for a fully funded 30,000-meter winter drill program that could uncover even more extensive mineralization.
5. Commercial Potential: The discovery of a shallower westward plunging chute in the Lion Zone could reduce future drilling and operational costs, supporting the company’s goal of developing a world-class polymetallic deposit.
