Core Insights - Power Metallic Mines Inc. has provided an update on preliminary mineralogy scans conducted by IOS Geosciences, indicating promising results for future metallurgical recovery studies [1][4][8] Mineralogy and Recovery Potential - Detailed microscopic scans are being performed on over 100 selected mineralized samples from the Lion zone, with approximately half completed, showing encouraging results for conventional sulphide concentrate recovery methods [2][7] - The Lion deposit consists of a High-Grade zone and a lower grade Hanging-wall Zone, with the majority of metal value contained in the High-Grade zone characterized by semi-massive to massive copper sulphide mineralization [3][4] - The scans reveal that copper mineralization is primarily found in coarse-grained chalcopyrite and cubanite, which are expected to respond well to conventional concentration methods [5][6] - The majority of PGE mineral species are associated with chalcopyrite and cubanite, suggesting good recovery potential in copper concentrates [6][7] Future Plans and Timeline - Mineralogy testing is expected to be completed by the end of summer, followed by initial scoping-level metallurgical testing to evaluate optimal recovery methods, with results anticipated early next year [8]
