Powermax Minerals Inc. Identifies Multiple High-Priority REE Exploration Targets at Atikokan Property Following Helicopter-Borne Geophysical Survey Data Interpretation and Other Updates
Powermax Minerals Inc. announced interpretation results of a high-resolution helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric survey completed over its Atikokan Rare Earth Element (REE) Property in northwestern Ontario. The survey results have identified multiple structurally controlled REE exploration targets across Blocks A, B, and C of the property, providing a strong technical foundation for integration with follow-up fieldwork data. Multiple structurally controlled REE exploration target have been identified, characterized by favorable granitic and pegmatite host rocks and associated magnetic lows. Elevated Th/K radiometric ratios, acting as effective total rare earth element (TREE) proxies, highlight REE-fertile alteration zones, while strong spatial correlations between radiometric patterns, structural trends, and lake-sediment TREE anomalies further validate these targets. Collectively, the geophysical and geochemical signatures support a phosphate-rich NYF-type REE system enriched in REE, Thorium, Uranium, and Yttrium. Target Areas by Block. Block A: Northwest- and north-trending structural corridors crosscut the granitic phases of the White Otter Batholith, coinciding with magnetic lows, elevated Th/K ratios, and anomalous lake-sediment REE values. These features collectively define priority targets along altered intrusive margins. Blocks B and C: Northeast-trending structures crosscut the gneissic tonalite and granodioritic units of the Dashwa Gneiss Complex, with radiometric anomalies aligning to mapped granitic and pegmatitic intrusions. These relationships define favourable metasomatic alteration zones developed along high-strain corridors and intrusive contacts. The integration of high-resolution magnetic and radiometric data with regional geological and lake sediment geochemistry has highlighted multiple structurally controlled target zones that warrant systematic follow-up. Importantly, the work has allowed us to prioritize specific corridors where geological conditions appear most favorable for REE enrichment, enabling us to focus our next phase of exploration efficiently and responsibly. Survey Details. In Fourth Quarter 2025, property-scale, airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys were conducted by Geo Data Solutions Inc. (GDS), flown at 50-metre line spacing with gridded outputs at 25-metre resolution and an average ground clearance of 44-meters. The magnetic dataset, also acquired during the same survey campaign, is provided as a 25-metre gridded compilation. The interpretation report prepared by Mr. Shahab Tavakoli, P.Geo., Geospatial Data Scientist and Geophysicist, presents an integrated analysis of property-scale heliborne magnetic (MAG) and radiometric responses to identify geological evidence associated with REE enrichment. This study examines subsurface rocks exhibiting anomalous magnetic and radiometric responses to identified geological evidence associated with REE enrich. Complementing this survey, the 2025 exploration work also included a field program of geological mapping, prospecting, radiometric surveys, and systematic soil, sediment, and rock sampling. A total of 426 samples, including quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) specimens, were collected and submitted to Agat Labs for analysis. The Company is waiting for the assays to combine all 2025 and historical exploration data on the Property to further refine these targets. The Company also announces that it has renewed its agreement with Euro Digital Media Ltd. ("Euro Digital") (address: 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, UK. WC2H 9JQ; email:) for marketing services for up to an additional three months commencing on or about January 15th, 2026, or until budget exhaustion, and that the term of the marketing services may be extended or shortened at the discretion of management depending on, amongst other things, the efficacy of the marketing services. Euro Digital shall, as appropriate, create campaigns, ad groups, text ads, display ads, perform detailed keyword research, setup and manage remarketing campaigns, optimize keyword options, coordinate online advertisers and marketers corresponding to online marketing targets, create landing pages for ad campaigns and generally bring attention to the business of the business of the Company. The promotional activity undertaken by Euro Digital will occur on a landing page, and native advertising.
