Pinch-Yourself Grades: Power Metallic’s Latest Drill Results Unlock Multi-Mine Scale at NISK

• Power Metallic Mines has reported exceptional high-grade nickel-copper-PGE drill results from its NISK project in Quebec, with the latest release showing 12.5 meters grading 11% combined metals.
• The company has secured $50 million in funding through 2026 for a massive 100,000-meter drilling program of high-cost exploration and sophisticated downhole electromagnetic detection system.
• Power Metallic’s deposit exhibits characteristics of world-class orthomagmatic systems with multiple potential “pipes” or zones, with CEO Terry Lynch estimating current resources could grow from 15-20 million tons to 45 million tons by year-end and potentially reach 140 million tons comparable to Voisey’s Bay.
   
• The company’s strategic positioning benefits from the Trump administration’s “Fortress America” approach to critical minerals, with Lynch noting increased interest from ultra-high-net-worth investors and long-term supply contracts at above-market rates due to U.S. strategic mineral priorities.
   
• Management is deliberately avoiding industry investors to maintain auction dynamics for eventual sale or joint venture, with Lynch indicating nine times out of ten such discoveries are sold to majors, though they may retain partial ownership given the project’s exceptional economics and potential for multiple mines.

The convergence of geopolitical tensions, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the energy transition has created an unprecedented opportunity for investors in North American critical minerals. At the center of this transformation sits nickel – a metal experiencing profound market dynamics that favour high-grade, geopolitically secure deposits like Power Metallic’s NISK project in Quebec.

The Fortress America Opportunity

The election of Donald Trump has fundamentally altered the critical minerals landscape, creating what industry insiders call the “Fortress America” strategy. This approach prioritizes domestic and allied nation mineral supplies over Chinese-dominated supply chains. According to the Canadian government’s critical minerals strategy released in late 2022, Canada identified 31 materials it classified as “critical,” positioning the country as a key partner in U.S. supply chain security.

Power Metallic CEO Terry Lynch has witnessed this shift firsthand, noting in the company update that they have been approached by the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Energy.

“There’s a very much a fortress America approach here,” Lynch explained. “Everyone can see this. Canada’s going to be part of it. They definitely are going to be less reliant on price and more reliant on guaranteed supply.”

This strategic positioning has already attracted significant capital. Canadian metals and minerals are critical for the U.S. clean energy, defence and microchip sectors, with experts noting that “Canada has what the U.S. wants and needs, so we are well-positioned to be a strategic partner on critical minerals”.
