Winston Tailings Project: Batch 4 Assay Results
Panther Metals PLC (LSE: PALM), the exploration company focused on mineral
projects in Canada, is very pleased to report the fourth batch ("Batch 4") of
Vibracore sample assay results for the Winston Tailings Project near
Schrieber, Ontario, Canada.
The Vibracore tailings sampling is in support of the Mineral Resource estimate
("MRE") programme, the first of a series of ongoing workstreams progressing to
quantify, evaluate and permit the contained high-grade gold (Au), gallium
(Ga), silver (Ag), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), indium (In) and cobalt (Co) and
other recoverable minerals located within the historic Winston Lake Mine
tailings storage facility ("TSF").
Key points:
· Fourth batch of tailings core sample assay results (Table 1) received
for twenty two Vibracore collar locations (WT-26-006, WT-26-024, WT-26-033,
WT-26-035, WT-26-036, WT-26-037, WT-26-038, WT-26-039, WT-26-041, WT-26-042,
WT-26-044, WT-26-045, WT-26-055, WT-26-056, WT-26-062, WT-26-063, WT-26-074,
WT-26-075, WT-26-080, WT-26-088, WT-26-089 & WT-26-091) situated upon
twelve east-west profiles (Figure 1).
· Assayed intersections reported for Batch 4 are taken from total
tailings thicknesses varying between 3.0m to 16.7m (Table 2). The maximum
vertical thickness of tailings (below ice and water) intersected across the
TSF is 16.8m with an average vertical thickness of 8.7m.(1, 2)
· Samples comprise HQ core (63.5mm) diameter cylinders of tailings
material through the vertical profile of the tailings, collected from the
surface of the tailings (situated below ice and water cover) to the base of
the tailings.
· Results continue to show good grade consistency across the vertical
depth-profile and laterally between Vibracore hole collar locations, and
support or exceed the 2025 preliminary assay results announced 31 July 2025
and the results announced 17 March 2026.(1, 3)
Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"These latest results continue to confirm continuity across the Winston
Tailings Project tailings footprint, further strengthening our confidence in
the project's scale and consistency. Ongoing work continues to add to our
understanding of the asset, whilst reducing risk.
The growing dataset increasingly supports Winston's technical potential and
reinforces our view that this is a highly attractive opportunity for the
Company. We look forward to advancing the project further and updating
shareholders on continued progress."

Table Note: Assay results by ALS Laboratory methods ME-MS61, Au-ICP21 (for
gold) and Zn-OG62 (for Zn>1%). * Zinc results >1% Zn by method Zn-OG62,
Zn <1% by method ME-MS61. Batch 2 samples reported under ALS certificate
TB26111673. Future sample batches may contain further results for the reported
Hole IDs.
Analytical Methods
The certified assay results are by ALS Laboratories using four-acid super
trace multielement method ME-MS61 (four-acid digestion for near-total recovery
across a suite of 48 elements), Au-ICP21 (gold by fire assay with an
inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy finish) and Zn-OG62
(four-acid overlimit method for high-grade zinc).

Further Information
The Winston Tailings Project Vibracore sampling grid comprises a total of 109
collar locations, staggered at a nominal spacing of 50m along east-west fence
lines spaced at 25m north-south, for an effective horizontal sample spacing
averaging either 25m or 35m between fences. Duplicate 'twin' core material was
retrieved at 3 locations, whilst vertical profiles were restarted at 6 of the
locations. The completed sample grid measures up to 904m along the long axis
and up to 230m perpendicular to the TSF long axis.
Vibracore tailings cylinders are logged and sampled by Bayside Geoscience Ltd
in the city of Thunder Bay, with sample batches submitted to ALS Laboratories
for geochemical analysis in support of the Mineral Resource estimate.
The MRE is an integral part of the process to advance the Winston Tailing
Project towards a cashflow proposition and will be based upon the resource
sampling programme, mineralogical and metallurgical testwork and associated
studies. The MRE work will also provide inputs into the Application for
Recovery of Minerals Permit (the "Recovery Permit") process as announced 1
September 2025.(4, 5)
Background
The Winston Tailings Project entails a series of workstreams to quantify,
evaluate and permit the contained high-grade gold (Au), gallium (Ga), silver
(Ag), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) and other recoverable minerals
located within the historic Winston Lake Mine tailings storage facility
(Figure 2). Based on historic processing recoveries it is believed that a
significant quantity of valuable material was not captured and remains in the
tailing storage facility. Reprocessing the mine tailings, potentially offers
Panther the opportunity to unlock residual metal value and contribute to the
long-term environmental rehabilitation of the Winston Project site.
The Winston Lake Mine was operational from 1988 to 1998, producing
approximately 3.3 million tonnes of ore and yielding zinc, copper, silver, and
gold. Based on historic recoveries from mining activities in the 1980s and
1990s, it is believed that a significant quantity of valuable material remains
in the tailing storage facility.

Obonga Project - Advancing a High-Impact VMS and Critical Minerals District
Panther Metals' Obonga Project in Ontario continues to demonstrate strong
potential as a district-scale exploration opportunity targeting base and
critical minerals. Since acquiring the Obonga Greenstone Belt in July 2021,
the Company has advanced multiple high-priority targets including Wishbone,
Awkward, Survey, Ottertooth, and Silver Rim.
On 9 February 2026 Panther announced plans for an approximately 2,000-metre
diamond drilling program at the Wishbone Prospect, following the grant of an
Exploration Permit in June 2024 valid through 2027. Previous work confirmed
compelling VMS-style mineralisation, including 27.3m of massive sulphide and
51m of sulphide-dominated mineralisation across multiple lenses, supported by
high-grade copper anomalies in lake sediments.
In July 2024, Panther secured an Exploration Permit for Awkward West, enabling
up to 31 drill holes. Historic drilling returned 27.2m at 2.25% TGC, with
zones exceeding 5% TGC, alongside indications of nickel, copper, and platinum
group elements, aligning with the Company's critical minerals strategy.
High-resolution magnetic and electromagnetic surveys continue to refine drill
targeting across Obonga. Survey and Ottertooth remain highly prospective,
hosting multiple untested geophysical anomalies and historic massive sulphide
intercepts.
Winston Tailings Project - Tailings Evaluation and MRE Pathway
Panther Metals' Winston Project represents a near-term, development-focused
opportunity centred on the evaluation of historic mine tailings and has been
the subject of prior technical and commercial assessment involving Extrakt.
Current work is focused on tailings sampling, metallurgical testing, and data
validation to define metal content, recoverability, and support the
preparation of a NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource estimate (MRE). This
approach provides a clear value-creation pathway with lower geological risk
than greenfield exploration and aligns with modern reprocessing and critical
mineral's themes.
Dotted Lake Project - Hemlo-Adjacent Polymetallic Opportunity
Panther Metals' Dotted Lake Project, acquired in July 2020, is located
approximately 16km from Barrick Gold's Hemlo Mine, within a well-established
mining region.
Early exploration identified multiple gold and base metal anomalies, with
initial drilling confirming gold mineralisation. In early 2025, follow-up
drilling materially advanced the project, confirming nickel and magnesium
mineralisation within an ultramafic intrusion and identifying a VMS-style
system, significantly expanding the project's polymetallic potential.
The program refined structural controls, extended mineralisation, and
identified multiple new drill targets, positioning Dotted Lake as a
high-upside, multi-commodity exploration asset.
Commercial Strategy - Focused Value Creation
Panther Metals is focused on disciplined, discovery-driven value creation
through efficient capital deployment and technical execution. With Obonga
delivering high-impact exploration, Winston providing a resource-focused
development pathway, and Dotted Lake offering polymetallic upside, the Company
maintains a balanced portfolio aligned with favourable commodity market
conditions.
The Company's strategy is to advance high-quality assets along the most
efficient technical pathway, delivering tangible milestones that underpin
long-term shareholder value.
