Power Metallic Announces $200,000 Digital Advertising Program in Canada

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian exploration company Power Metallic Mines Inc. ("Power Metallic," TSXV: PNPN; OTCBB: PNPNF; Frankfurt: IVV1) has finalized multiple marketing and investor relations service arrangements. These measures will be implemented ahead of the Company's upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) announcement and subsequent Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), with the aim of communicating the Company's investment opportunity to investors.

The first arrangement stems from a service agreement entered into with Native Ads, Inc. on August 27, 2026. Native Ads is a full-service advertising agency headquartered in New York and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, led by Jon Malach. Under the agreement, Native Ads will execute a comprehensive digital media advertising campaign for the Company, with a total engagement fee of up to US$200,000, for a term of up to eighteen months, or until the engagement fee is fully expended, whichever comes first. Approximately 75% of the advertising budget is allocated to pay-per-click, media buying, content distribution, and search engine marketing, with the remaining budget directed toward content creation, website development, ad creative development, search engine optimization, campaign optimization, and reporting and data insights services. Native Ads and its principal are at arm's length to the Company and do not hold, directly or indirectly, any interest in the Company's securities, nor are they entitled to acquire any such interest. The engagement of Native Ads is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV).

The second arrangement pertains to investor relations services. The Company has engaged Ora IR Services Inc. for a six-month term commencing September 1, 2026, at a monthly fee of US$20,000, with renewal at the Company's discretion thereafter. Ora, a British Columbia-based firm controlled by Geoff Skinner, will provide a range of services focused on shareholder communications and investor outreach, and will assist the Company in enhancing market visibility and engagement across multiple platforms. The engagement of Ora is also subject to TSXV approval.

Regarding online advertising and marketing, the Company has entered into a 12-month digital marketing program with AGORA Internet Relations Corp. (AGORACOM), commencing August 30, 2026. The program includes AI-driven content creation and engagement, social media distribution, executive interviews and video content, search and AI answer engine optimization, as well as a customized HUB and verified forum, aimed at increasing investor awareness and shareholder engagement. In consideration, AGORACOM will receive total compensation of C$125,000 plus HST, payable in shares pursuant to TSXV Venture Exchange Policy 4.3.

The Company has also confirmed its attendance at several conferences. On September 24, 2026, the Company will attend the Emerging Growth Conference at a cost of US$4,400, which is the world's largest virtual investor conference. During the fall and winter seasons, the Company intends to participate in conferences including Beavercreek, Precious Metal Summit, Luxembourg Natural Resource, New Orleans Investment Conference, and Mines and Money London, with estimated total costs of approximately US$75,000.

Terry Lynch, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented that the coming months will bring multiple catalysts, the first being the inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate for the Lion Zone and the high-grade Nisk project; subsequently, the Company will provide updates on Nisk exploration progress, developments in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and its investment in Chilean Metals. Lynch further noted that the Company's business is transitioning from pure exploration toward increased advancement of the Nisk development, and that these marketing and communication measures are designed to maintain investor engagement and help external parties understand the Company and its progress; in his view, the current capital markets are robust for companies holding assets of the type the Company is advancing.

The Company has also amended a previously disclosed fee arrangement. On July 30, 2026, the Company disclosed a market stabilization services arrangement with Red Cloud Securities Inc.; the parties have now mutually agreed to modify the fee terms, with service fees to be paid monthly in advance rather than quarterly in advance.

Power Metallic is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing the Nisk project area (Nisk–Lion–Tiger). This area represents a high-grade copper-platinum group element (PGE), nickel, gold, and silver mineralizing system, and the Company is driving it toward becoming Canada's next polymetallic mine. On February 1, 2021, Power Metallic, then operating as Chilean Metals, obtained an option from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (TSXV: CRE) to earn up to an 80% interest in the Nisk project. In June 2025, the Company purchased 313 adjacent claims (approximately 167 square kilometers) from Li–FT Power; subsequently, the Company controls approximately 330 square kilometers and holds approximately 50 kilometers of favorable basin margin. The Company is currently expanding mineralization at the Nisk and Lion discoveries through ongoing drilling, evaluating the Tiger target, and continuing exploration across the expanded land package.

Beyond the Nisk project area, Power Metallic indirectly holds significant land interests in British Columbia and Chile through its 50% interest in Chilean Metals Inc., which was spun out from Power Metallic on February 3, 2025, pursuant to a plan of arrangement. Additionally, the Company wholly owns Power Metallic Arabia, which holds a 100% interest in the Jabul Baudan exploration license within the Jabal Said belt in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The property covers more than 200 square kilometers and is renowned for its high exploration potential for copper-gold-zinc mineralization and is known for large volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits, including the world-class Jabal Sayid mine, as well as the promising Umm and Damad deposits.

With respect to quality assurance and quality control, consulting firm GeoVector Management Inc. (GeoVector) has been retained to execute the drilling program, responsible for core logging and drill core sampling. The drill core is HQ or NQ size; core is first re-assembled and measured, then geotechnical logging is conducted, including photographs in both dry and wet conditions, rock quality designation, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, and recovery estimates; lithological, mineralogical, and structural characteristics are subsequently logged, and sampling intervals are delineated and marked. Sampled core is mechanically sawn in half, with one half retained for future reference. GeoVector's QAQC procedures require the regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks into the sample stream, with rigorous review of all results; this QAQC and data verification has been completed, and no significant errors were observed.

Samples are uniformly submitted to Activation Laboratories Ltd (Actlabs) for analysis. Actlabs is a commercial laboratory independent of Power Metallic, with no interest in the project, and is ISO 9001 and 17025 certified and accredited. Samples are prepared using standard preparation methods under the RX-1 process: drying, crushing (less than 7 kg) to 80% passing 2 mm, splitting a 250 g subsample, and pulverizing with mild steel to 95% passing 105 μm. Routine and over-limit analyses are completed using 1F2 (ICP-OES), 1C-OES (four-acid near-total digestion with gold-platinum-palladium analysis), and 8-Peroxide ICP-OES; pegmatite samples are additionally analyzed using the UT7 method, with a lithium detection limit of 5% and a rubidium detection limit of 2%. Actlabs also performs internal coarse and pulp duplicate analyses to verify sample preparation and equipment calibration.
