EverGen Infrastructure Reports Q4 & Year End 2024 Results
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- EverGen Infrastructure Corp. ('EverGen' or the 'Company') (TSXV: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), today reported audited financial results as at and for Q4 2024. All amounts are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Financial Highlights:
37% increase in revenues of $3.2 million for Q4 2024 from $2.3 million for Q4 2023 and 69% increase in fiscal year revenues to $14.2 million from $8..4 million in fiscal year 2023, primarily driven by increased Renewable Natural Gas ('RNG') production following the completion of the Fraser Valley Biogas RNG expansion project in Q4-2023, the commencement of RNG production at GrowTEC in late Q2-2023, and increased pricing at Pacific Coast Renewables. Revenues also increased with the addition of management fees earned from Project Radius related to large scale project development.
Despite an increase in revenues and reducing proportionate direct operating costs and general and administrative expenses, net loss of $14.4 million and $17.1 million for Q4 and fiscal year 2024 increased from $1.8 million and $4.7 million for Q4 and fiscal year 2023, primarily due to non-cash impairment losses. These non-cash impairment losses associated with Sea to Sky Soils Composting Inc. and GrowTEC and a decrease in insurance proceeds received, higher direct operating costs from weather- and fire-related disruptions, increased finance costs tied to the Fraser Valley Biogas investment, and equity-accounted losses related to Project Radius, were partially offset by increased revenues and lower general and administrative expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million for Q4 2024 compared to $nil for Q4 2023, and a 269% increase to $2.9 million for fiscal year 2024 from $0.8 million for fiscal year 2023, primarily due to increased revenues and lower recurring general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher production-related direct operating costs and reduced insurance proceeds.
Financial and Operational Summary:
The following table presents EverGen's Consolidated Financial and Operating Summary:
'EverGen is pleased to see its efforts and investments in upgrading Fraser Valley Biogas and optimizing production at GrowTEC generate expected growth in RNG revenues in 2024' said EverGen CEO, Mischa Zajtmann.

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 EqRec1 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 EqRec1 1.22% over 11.25 m in PMN-25-004 TORONTO, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - 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 EqRec1 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.

PROGRESS ON SPRING/SUMMER DRILL CAMPAIGN START-UP 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. Qualified PersonJoseph Campbell, VP Exploration at Power Metallic, is the qualified person who has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release.

UPDATE 1-Bank of Canada holds key rate steady, but says a future cut is possible
By Promit Mukherjee and David Ljunggren OTTAWA, June 4 (Reuters) - The Bank of Canada on Wednesday held its key benchmark rate at 2.75%, citing the need to probe the effects of U.S. trade policy, but said another cut might be necessary if the economy weakened in the face of tariffs. The decision marks the second time in a row that the central bank has remained on the sidelines after an aggressive cutting cycle which shrunk rates by 225 basis points over nine months. "The trade conflict initiated by the United States remains the biggest headwind facing the Canadian economy," Governor Tiff Macklem told a news conference, describing U.S. trade policy as highly unpredictable. "There was a clear consensus to hold policy unchanged as we gain more information," he said. U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday doubled the tariff on imports of Canadian steel and aluminum to 50%. The bank says it is weighing upward pressure on inflation from higher prices and downward pressure from sluggish growth. Macklem said the Canadian economy had been softer but not sharply weaker, while noting that underlying inflation might be stronger than the bank had suspected. "On balance, members thought there could be a need for a reduction in the policy rate if the economy weakens in the face of continued U.S. tariffs and uncertainty, and cost pressures on inflation are contained," he said. Canada's annual inflation rate fell to 1.7% in April due to a drop in energy prices, but closely tracked core measures of inflation rose above the bank's target range of 1% to 3% in the same month. "Higher core inflation can be partly attributed to higher goods prices, including food, and may reflect the effects of trade disruption," Macklem said. Economists had predicted the bank would most likely hold its key policy rate in June, seeking to prevent higher inflation. Macklem said recent surveys showed consumers were bracing for higher prices and many businesses say they intend to pass on tariff costs. Lingering uncertainty on the impact of tariffs, the outcome of trade negotiations and new trade actions means the bank will be less forward looking, Macklem said, repeating his comments from April. "Faced with unusual uncertainty, Governing Council is proceeding carefully, with particular attention to the risks," he said, adding that the BoC would continue to support economic growth while ensuring inflation remained under control. First quarter growth was better than expected but the business investment and domestic spending were largely subdued. Economists predict this trend is likely to continue, and Macklem said second quarter growth would be substantially weaker.

Canada's services PMI rises to 3-month high in April as confidence improves
By Fergal Smith TORONTO (Reuters) -The downturn in Canada's services economy eased somewhat in May as firms grew more hopeful that trade and political uncertainty would become less of a drag on activity over the coming 12 months, S&P Global's Canada services PMI data showed on Wednesday. The headline Business Activity Index was at 45.6 last month, its highest level since February and up from 41.5 in April. Still, it remained well below the 50.0 no-change mark that separates growth from contraction. 'Canada's service sector continued to struggle in the face of ongoing tariff and residual political uncertainty during May, with activity and new business volumes again declining markedly," Paul Smith, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said in a statement. 'That said, there are some hopes of greater stability in the year ahead, with confidence improving since April and helping to support some marginal employment growth as firms look ahead to higher workloads in the months ahead." The measure of employment rose to 50.3 from 47.9 in April, showing job increases for the first time since December, while the Future Activity Index was at 58.9, up from 56.4. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party retained power in April's parliamentary elections, promising sweeping changes to Canada's economy. The nation sends about 75% of its exports to the United States, including autos, steel and aluminum which have been hit with hefty U.S. duties. On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump said he plans to increase steel and aluminum tariffs to 50% from 25%. Tariffs were reported to have raised the price of some products, contributing to cost pressures that firms attempted to pass on to clients, S&P Global said. The prices charged measure rose to its highest level in one year at 54.6, up from 48.0 in April. The S&P Global Canada Composite PMI Output Index was at 45.5 last month, recovering some ground after it hit 41.7 in April, its lowest level since June 2020. Data on Monday showed a slower pace of decline for manufacturing activity in May. The S&P Global Canada Manufacturing PMI edged up to 46.1 from 45.3 in April.
