Panther Metals plc has returned “highly anomalous standout gold and critical mineral trends and anomalies” from a combined 1,472 assay dataset at Dotted Lake in Ontario, Canada.
INTENSITY
The high-resolution soil surveys from 2024 and 2021 cover a 6km strike length on the north shore of Dotted Lake, with analysis undertaken for 53 elements.
Returns also show “major structurally controlled sub-parallel gold trends” merging on the western north shore of Dotted Lake, a “5km long nickel trend with coincident cobalt and chromium”.
Panther also reported apparent “strong base metal trends” with a 3.5km long zinc anomaly stretching across the northern boundary of the combined survey area.
“Distinct copper zones” additionally correlate well with multi-element anomalies including zinc and nickel.
Results of the highly anomalous soil assays range up to 1,665 parts per million copper, 480 ppm nickel, 63 ppm cobalt, 432 ppm zinc, 0.99 ppm silver and 377 ppb gold.
Chief executive Darren Hazelwood said that the geochemical trends pointed to “as yet untested bedrock source targets.”
“The intensity of the various commodities in the soil correlates very positively with our geological model and aligns favourably with soil signature levels which have led to significant mineralisation discoveries within close proximity to our Dotted Lake project.
“This systematic exploration data driven approach is providing a clear pathway for next steps, and the results to date reinforce the project’s potential.
“With third-party data sharing in place for several months, we have been carefully managing and analysing the technical information to maximise its strategic value.”
