Panther Metals (LSE:PALM), the exploration company focused on Canadian mineral projects, said Batch 5 comprises assay results from 27 Vibracore collar locations across 16 east‑west profiles and confirms recoverable gold, gallium, silver, zinc, copper, indium and cobalt within the Winston Lake tailings storage facility.
The company reported sampled tailings thicknesses from 1.5m to 15.2m, a maximum vertical thickness intersected of 16.8m and an average vertical thickness of 8.7m, with HQ (63.5mm) core cylinders taken from the tailings surface to base beneath ice and water cover.
Certified assays were completed by ALS Laboratories using ME‑MS61, Au‑ICP21 and Zn‑OG62 methods, and Panther said the new results support or exceed preliminary assay batches announced on 31 July 2025 and in March and April 2026.
“These latest results continue to confirm continuity across the Winston Tailings Project footprint, strengthening our confidence in the project's scale, consistency and commercial potential,” Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer, said.
The Vibracore grid now comprises 109 collar locations spaced nominally at 25-50m (measuring up to 904m by 230m), duplicate cores were taken at three sites, and Panther says the MRE workstream will feed the company’s Recovery of Minerals Permit application as the project advances and further updates are provided.
