Canada's Power Metallic reported a 5.70-metre downhole interval at its Lion zone containing 2.48 g/t palladium and 0.26 g/t platinum, alongside copper and other metals. The company said the hole reached mineralisation below its current resource model, at nearly 800 metres vertical depth. Reported downhole length is not the same as true width.

The assays indicate potential to extend this copper-PGE system below the existing model; further drilling is needed to define continuity and tonnage.
