Winston Tailings Project: Sample Collection
Panther Metals PLC has successfully completed the vibracore sample collection phase for its Winston Tailings Project, with tailings thickness exceeding expectations, reaching a maximum of 16.8m and averaging 8.7m. A total of 109 core samples were retrieved from 109 locations across the frozen tailings pond, with duplicate and restarted vertical profiles collected at select sites. This sampling is crucial for quantifying gold, gallium, silver, zinc, copper, indium, and cobalt, and will support the Mineral Resource estimate, a key step towards a cashflow proposition and the Recovery Permit application. Engagement with First Nation stakeholders has also occurred, and sample analysis is underway at ALS Laboratories. Disclaimer*
