08:58 AM EDT, 05/13/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Power Metallic (PNPN.V) has engaged Ideon Technologies to activate a borehole muon tomography imaging program at the Lion Zone discovery within the Nisk project in Quebec, the company said on Wednesday.

The Ideon REVEAL solution will generate a high-resolution, three-dimensional density model of the rock composition in and around the Lion deposit, a statement said.

The program is structured in two stages: first, validating the Ideon density model against Power Metallic's existing 100-plus hole drill dataset at Lion; then applying the calibrated mineralization fingerprint to rank and test deep targets across the 330 km Nisk district scale property that are below 200 metres, the detection limit of conventional surface-based geophysical methods.

The survey will map the density of over 55 million cubic metres of rock volume. The imaging program is planned to run for six months, with the option to extend to eight months if needed to optimize resolution and establish the Lion Zone ore signature. The end result will be a three-dimensional density model of the deposit.

Power Metallic shares closed unchanged at $1.48 on Tuesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
