Panther Metals (LSE:PALM) reported third‑batch Vibracore assay results from the Winston Tailings Project near Schreiber, Ontario, reinforcing continuity of gold, gallium, silver, zinc, copper, indium and cobalt within the historic tailings storage facility. Batch 3 comprises assays from 13 collar locations with tested tailings thicknesses ranging 5.5m–15.1m; the TSF’s maximum intersected vertical thickness is 16.8m and the average is 8.7m.
Samples were HQ core (63.5mm) collected from tailings surface to base and submitted to ALS Laboratories. Certified methods used were ME‑MS61 (48‑element four‑acid digestion), Au‑ICP21 (fire assay for gold) and Zn‑OG62 (overlimit zinc). Panther says the new results “support or exceed” its preliminary assays from July 2025 and the March 2026 batch.
The broader Vibracore grid now comprises 109 collars on nominal 50m east‑west lines with 25m north‑south spacing, covering up to 904m by 230m. The MRE will combine the sampling with mineralogical and metallurgical testwork to feed an application for a Recovery of Minerals Permit previously initiated.
"The Batch 3 Vibracore assay results continue to highlight the strong production potential offered by the Winston Tailings Project," Darren Hazelwood said.
