Inomin Mines Inc. Drilling Confirms District-Scale Potential of Beaver-Lynx Polymetallic Project
Inomin Mines Inc. announced the latest and complete results from diamond drilling program at the 28,000 hectare Beaver-Lynx project in south-central, British Columbia, demonstrating the districtscale potential of the property. The 2025 drilling program focused on the South and North zones, and was completed in collaboration with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd. (‘Sumitomo’). Key Highlights: All 13 drill holes in the South and North zones intersected significant serpentinized mineralization including nickel (Ni) and magnesium (Mg); Drilling confirms a ~500,000 m² mineralized footprint at the Beaver South zone; North Zone drilling confirms additional mineralization extending along a 7km trend. The latest drilling results (holes B25-11, 12, 13) continue to outline broad intervals of Nickel cobalt magnesium mineralization across a large area, reinforcing BeaverLynx as a major new critical minerals system. Latest analytical results also include analyses for platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd), elements generally associated with ultramafic deposits. PGMs were encountered in both the South and North zones and are expected to be present across other drilldefined mineralized areas. South Zone: Drill Hole B2511: 145.2 m grading 0.19% Ni,0.011% Co, 0.40% Cr, 0.012g/t Pt, 0.012g/t Pd, 23.07% Mg. Drill Hole B2512: 116.3 m grading 0.20% Ni, 0.011% Co, 0.35% Cr, 0.010g/t Pt, 0.009g/t Pd, 22.93% Mg, Located ~1,000 m from B2511, confirming extensive length of mineralized area. North Zone: Drill Hole B2513: 102.1 m grading 0.17% Ni, 0.010% Co, 0.29% Cr, 0.011g/t Pt, 0.011 g/t Pd, 20.38% Mg. The 2025 drilling program at BeaverLynx consisted of thirteen diamond drill holes totaling 3,361.8 meters(m). Drilling was carried out using HQsized core to manage the challenging ground conditions, with NQ downsizing often required at depth where maintaining hole stability became difficult. In the South zone, twelve holes were completed on approximately 200meter centers. This drilling was designed to evaluate the continuity of mineralization previously outlined by earlier programs. A single hole was drilled in the North zone to test a new highpriority target aimed at expanding the zone's discovery footprint. This hole successfully intersected significant mineralization associated with strong magnetic features that extend for more than 7 kilometers along strike, further demonstrating the scale of the system. All holes were oriented to intersect mineralization as perpendicular as possible. A Reflex instrument was used to measure for azimuth and dip deviations, however, dip readings were found to be unreliable due the high concentrations of magnetite in the rocks. Drill core samples were analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. (‘Actlabs’) for a 22-element suite utilizing their 8-Peroxide (Total) Fusion, ICP-OES (FUS-Na202). Samples were also analyzed using Actlabs' fire assay with an MS finish (FA-MS) for platinum, palladium and gold. The resulting grade for nickel includes both silicate and sulphide components of nickel. A secondary partial digestion technique has been developed in-house by Actlabs for Inomin to ascertain the sulphide nickel fraction only and will be utilized on all samples containing > 0.1% nickel values and will be reported on when complete. Actlabs, located in Kamloops, BC, is ISO 17025-accredited. The relationship between Inomin and Actlabs is strictly arms-length, limited to the laboratory's commercial supply of analytical services. QAQC protocols were followed, including the introduction of field blanks, standards, and duplicates, custody of the core, and normal QAQC laboratory protocols. Drillcore was split using a conventional manual core splitter and power saw with a representative fraction sent to the laboratory and the remainder cached on site. True thicknesses were calculated where density of drilling allowed. True thicknesses were measured directly from cross-sections, deviations to orthogonal calculated where density of drilling allowed. Often, continuity of mineralization was extrapolated by 3-d inversions of the magnetic distribution in the rocks. Given the density of drilling at 200 metres, the true thickness determination is only an approximation intended to reflect likely or comparable thicknesses of mineralization at each of the drillhole locations. The differences between the estimation of the true thickness and reported downhole intervals were found to average 94% of drill core lengths, and this will be re-evaluated during any resource estimation. Drill hole B25-13 was drilled in a previously untested area of the North zone, a ~7 km long linear trend of magnetics located approximately 3 km to the north of the South zone. Although most drillholes tested the entire serpentinized body, holes B25-05 and B25-10 were lost due to ground conditions and were unable to intersect with the footwall zone. Drilling in the South zone continues to demonstrate consistent mineralization over substantial thicknesses. To date drilling in the South zone has tested a surface area of approximately 500,000 m² (50 hectares). A north-south trending geological cross-section was created across the South zone. The section illustrates the ~200 m thick serpentinized body occurring as a near surface sill-like feature. The feature changes from flat lying to a steeply plunging body to the south. The system remains open for expansion in all directions, however, magnetics suggest deeper targeting will be required.
