Inomin Mines Completes Major Exploration Program at Beaver-Lynx

Inomin Mines Inc has completed a significant exploration program at its Beaver-Lynx polymetallic project in south-central British Columbia. The approximately $2.3 million drilling and exploration effort, funded by Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd, marks the largest single investment in exploration at the Beaver-Lynx site to date. The program, which included nine drill holes totaling 3,452.8 meters, targeted the Lynx block, a 6 km² area characterized by strong magnetic responses and surface sampling anomalies.

The exploration focused on the Onuki zone, where Inomin conducted a 158.4 line-kilometer ground magnetic survey to refine drill targeting and improve structural interpretation. The company also highlighted the geological similarities between the Onuki zone and the Beaver block, 10 kilometers to the north, where multiple zones of near-surface nickel-magnesium mineralization have been discovered. These zones also contain accessory cobalt, chromium, platinum, and palladium.

John Gomez, President and CEO of Inomin Mines, stated, "Our 2026 program indicates that mineralization at Onuki displays similar characteristics to what we see at Beaver. If drilling results at Onuki are comparable to Beaver, it will represent a major step toward demonstrating a new mineral district in the Cariboo, one of British Columbia's most prolific mining regions."

The Beaver-Lynx project spans 28,000 hectares and is located approximately 50 kilometers north of Williams Lake, adjacent to Trekor Metals Ltd's Gibraltar mine, the second-largest open-pit copper operation in Canada. The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, including all-season road access, nearby hydro-electric power, and proximity to an active rail haulage line. Local resource communities provide comprehensive services and a skilled workforce.

Inomin Mines has been actively exploring the Beaver block since 2026, where extensive nickel and magnesium mineralization, along with cobalt, chromium, platinum, and palladium, have been identified. Drilling has also intersected copper, silver, and gold, highlighting the polymetallic nature and scale potential of the system. The Lynx block, located 10 kilometers south of Beaver, hosts multiple high-priority magnetic and geochemical targets comparable in size, and in some cases larger, than those at Beaver. Together, Beaver and Lynx outline a significant district-scale critical minerals opportunity.

The 2026 Beaver-Lynx exploration program is being undertaken in collaboration with Sumitomo; Inomin is the project operator. The company's next steps will involve analyzing the drilling results to determine the potential for further exploration and development.
