In May 2026, Ameriwest Critical Metals (CSE: AWCM)<\/strong> sent 30 pallets of preserved historical drill core from its Bornite Copper Project<\/span><\/strong> in Oregon to APEX’s secure facility in Reno, Nevada, for re-logging, photography, and selective re-sampling. Following receipt and evaluation of these analytical results, AWCM<\/strong> will determine whether the available data are sufficient to prepare a maiden<\/span> mineral resource estimate<\/strong> at Bornite. In parallel with this work, AWCM<\/strong> plans to design and permit an initial drill program at Bornite, which may be needed to complete an initial resource estimate.<\/p>\n\n

The historical non-NI 43-101 estimate<\/strong> was about 3.2 million short tons (equal to ~2.90 Mt) averaging 2.2% copper<\/span>, plus 0.017 oz\/t gold<\/span> and 0.54 oz\/t silver<\/span><\/strong>. That represented roughly 138.5 million lb copper<\/strong><\/span>, 54,000 oz gold<\/strong><\/span> and 1.7 million oz silver<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n

NIA previously suggested Power Metallic Mines (TSXV: PNPN)<\/strong> at $0.225 per share<\/strong> shortly after their discovery hole at the Lion Zone<\/strong>, and PNPN gained by 775.56%<\/span><\/strong> to a high of $1.97 per share<\/strong>. Earlier this month, PNPN published<\/span><\/strong> its maiden resource estimate<\/strong><\/span> for the Lion Zone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

PNPN’s maiden<\/span> NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate<\/strong> for the Lion Zone<\/strong> shows an indicated 4.145 Mt averaging 1.68% copper<\/span>, 2.61 g\/t palladium, 0.85 g\/t platinum, 0.49 g\/t gold<\/span>, 12.21 g\/t silver<\/span>, 0.10% nickel, and 0.005% cobalt<\/strong>. This represents roughly 153.07 million lb copper<\/strong><\/span>, 348,000 oz palladium<\/strong>, 114,000 oz platinum<\/strong>, 64,000 oz gold<\/strong><\/span>, 1.627 million oz silver<\/strong><\/span>, 8.99 million lb nickel<\/strong>, and 430,000 lb cobalt<\/strong>. It also shows an inferred 0.601 Mt averaging 1.84% copper<\/span>, 2.86 g\/t palladium, 0.59 g\/t platinum, 0.41 g\/t gold<\/span>, 12.47 g\/t silver<\/span>, 0.13% nickel, and 0.0065% cobalt<\/strong>. This represents roughly 24.43 million lb copper<\/span>, 55,000 oz palladium, 11,000 oz platinum, 8,000 oz gold<\/span>, 241,000 oz silver<\/span>, 1.67 million lb nickel, and 90,000 lb cobalt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

PNPN’s Lion Zone<\/strong> has total contained maiden NI 43-101 compliant resources<\/strong> (indicated and inferred) of roughly 177.50 million lb copper<\/span>, 403,000 oz palladium, 125,000 oz platinum, 72,000 oz gold<\/span>, 1.868 million oz silver<\/span>, 10.66 million lb nickel, and 520,000 lb cobalt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

PNPN<\/strong> has a market cap<\/strong> at $1.21 per share<\/strong> of US$228.12 million<\/strong><\/span> vs. AWCM’s current market cap<\/strong> at $0.215 per share<\/strong> of US$5.77 million<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n
