Power Metallic intercepts 12.54 meters of 10.99% CuEq at the Lion Zone and 11.25m of 1.22% CuEq at Nisk East - First Lion Like Mineralization Intercepted near the Nisk Zone
3.10 g/t Au, 25.52 g/t Ag, 4.09% Cu, 12.06 g/t Pd, 2.00 g/t Pt – Cu EqRec 1 10.99% over 12.54 m in PML-25-012a 1.32 g/t Ag, 0.60% Cu, 0.24g/t Pd, and 0.26 Ni – Cu EqRec 1 1.22% over 11.25 m in PMN-25-004 TORONTO, June 4, 2025 /CNW/ - Power Metallic Mines Inc. (the"Company" or"Power Metallic") (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV) is pleased to announce the return of the final 11 holes from the winter 2025 drilling campaign focused on the Lion Zone (9 holes) and Nisk East (2 holes). The nine holes at lion (PML-25-005 to 013) were testing multiple areas of the Lion Zone, including the down plunge extent, shallow sub-crop projections, in-fill drilling of the Lion Zone, and testing of off-hole EM (BHEM) anomalies west of Lion (Table 1). The general location of the drilling in this news release for the Lion Zone and Nisk East Zone is shown in Figure 1. LION ZONE DRILL RESULTS The nine holes reported in this release were testing the deeper plunge extent on the western side of the Lion Zone; shallow sub-cropping interpreted locations of the Lion Zone, and internal in-fill drilling to better define the heterogenous width and grade of the Lion Zone in preparation for a future mineral resource estimate. Holes PML-25-005 and 012a were testing the down plunge extent of the western side of the Lion Zone. Both holes intersected substantial polymetallic zones (3.10 g/t Au, 25.52 g/t Ag, 4.09% Cu, 12.06 g/t Pd, 2.00 g/t Pt – Cu EqRec 1 10.99% over 12.54 m in PML-25-012a – Figure 2) indicating a potential shift to the west for the plunge of the high grade portion of the Lion zone. This plunge direction will be followed up by early drill holes in the spring/summer drill campaign starting in early June. "Well apologies that took a lot longer than I thought. We try and provide as much visibility as possible but there were some unforeseen delays. That being said we think they have been worth the wait. The team is very keen to get that suite of holes between Nisk and Lion and let's just see how connected these mineralized areas are!" commented Power Metallic CEO Terry Lynch. Holes PML-25-006 through 009a tested interpreted shallow sub-crop locations for the Lion Zone. The shallow areas of Lion were gaps in our knowledge of the deposit. All holes hit low grade hanging-wall style mineralization but failed to intersect the high-grade zones encountered in deeper drill holes. Hole PML-25-13 was specifically targeted on a wide gap in drill spacing that was interpreted as a relatively low grade portion of the Lion Zone. This hole intersected better than expected mineralization including 0.15 g/t Au, 3.73 g/t Ag, 1.48% Cu, 1.49 g/t Pd and 0.44 g/t Pt over 5.83 meters, effectively filling a hole in the projection of the Lion Zone. Figure 3 below shows a revised long-section with pierce points of the drill holes with assays reported in this news release. Significantly, the southwestern plunge direction remains open for additional increases to the size of Lion, and this will be our first target tested in the spring/summer drill campaign. NISK EAST DRILL RESULTS Two holes were targeted on areas east of the Nisk Deposit (MRE 2023), termed Nisk East in previous press releases. Historical drilling in the area had given indications of possible Lion, or Lion-Nisk hybrid style mineralization through indicator minerals located in stratigraphic positions conducive for Lion style zones. Hole PMN-25-003 failed to intersect any significant mineralization, but hole PMN-25-004 hit Lion style mineralization on the stratigraphic footwall to the ultra-mafic sill, like Lion's location. Additional mineralization extended into the ultra-mafic with Ni-Cu Nisk style sulphide mineralization. This discovery will be followed up by drilling in the spring/summer drill campaign and this success provides proof of exploration concepts along the untested target strike length between the Nisk and Lion zones.

As previously disclosed (news release April 30, 2025), Power Metallic is expanding its core facility to accommodate up to six drills turning. Currently the area of the old core facility has been moved or dismantled and useable structures from that facility have been co-opted into office, storage, safety, core cutting and medical units. New core buildings are beginning to arrive (converted containers – Figure 4, 5), with the first two units in place, and electrical hook-ups being prepared. Drilling is scheduled to start on June 6 with two drills. By the end of June, with the delivery of the next two core logging units, production will be increased to four drills. Initial drilling will be focused on expanding the Lion zone, with follow-up drilling beginning to explore the strike extensions of the favorable stratigraphy from the Lion and Nisk zones, including exploration along the Tiger trend. Drilling during the spring/summer will be a combination of overland and helicopter supported drilling. As we move into the fall freeze up and acquire the final two core logging containers, exploration will expand to six drills. As previously advised, the summer period will include extensive mapping and prospecting carried out in parallel with airborne EM surveying over prospective target areas. Power Metallic has planned the logistics and support for carrying out this largest exploration effort on the project to date. Previously released drill results are available in a public database accessible as a download on Power Metallic's website. Currently this database contains hole assay and collar information up to hole PML-25-002 and will be updated as soon as possible with all remaining publicly released holes.

Perimeter Launches OCT-Tissue Registry to Power AI and Imaging Innovation
TORONTO and DALLAS, June 4, 2025 /CNW/ - Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc. (TSXV: PINK) (OTCQX: PYNKF) (" Perimeter" or the " Company") announced today that it has launched the OCT-Tissue Surveillance Registry, a database that aims to collect thousands of images and data from surgical procedures performed using the company's imaging technology. Perimeter will use the registry to inform future product development and continually enhance the artificial intelligence ("AI") deep-learning model for its investigational next-generation technology. "I have used Perimeter's OCT technology in more than 120 surgeries, and it has become an invaluable tool," said Dr. Jennifer Tittensor, a general surgeon for Timpanogos Regional Hospital and the first contributor to the OCT-Tissue Registry. "In my practice, it helps me assess margins in real-time and decide whether I need to remove more tissue - potentially avoiding the need for a second surgery. Being a part of the registry allows me to track and analyze patient outcomes and help shape future improvements in the technology. I am excited to be involved." Perimeter's S-Series OCT utilizes the company's patented wide-field optical coherence tomography ("OCT") technology to enable surgeons to visualize tissue specimens in real-time, with ultra-high resolution, during surgery. Building on this foundation, the investigational next-generation B-Series OCT with ImgAssist AI 2.0, under premarket approval review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, integrates AI and is intended to help surgeons more efficiently detect suspicious tissue during breast-conserving surgery. "The launch of this registry provides an opportunity to patients and surgeons to help future patients have better clinical care," said Perimeter CEO Adrian Mendes. "We look forward to collaborating with physicians to collect high-quality data and images from a broad and diverse patient population. The more images we can gather from the widest range of patients, the better we can train our AI algorithm to detect patterns in various tissue types. This registry could potentially help physicians provide more personalized care, achieve clean margins more frequently, and reduce the need for second surgeries due to residual cancer." One of the biggest challenges with developing non-generative AI for medical applications is acquiring a large, diverse dataset that reflects a full range of patient characteristics, such as age, ethnicity, tissue density, and body mass. To develop the ImgAssist AI algorithm, Perimeter trained its deep learning models using several million proprietary OCT images of cancerous and healthy tissue. These models, created by the company's AI team, were designed for real-time use. The launch of the OCT-Tissue Registry enables Perimeter to use real-world images and clinical data to make its AI model even more sophisticated. The registry also allows surgeons to contribute retrospective data and track patient outcomes to evaluate surgical results over time. To learn more or inquire about participation in OCT-Tissue Registry, please contact Perimeter Medical Imaging AI Clinical Affairs at [email protected]. About Perimeter Medical Imaging AI, Inc.
