Inomin Mines Inc. [TSXV: MINE] reported completion of drilling at the company’s Beaver-Lynx project in south-central, British Columbia. At the Beaver South zone, 12 holes — spaced approximately 200 metres apart — were drilled to test continuity of known mineralization. The South zone drilling tested an area of about 400,000 square metres intersecting an average thickness of 128 metres of serpentinized ultramafics in each hole.
One hole was also drilled in the North zone to test a new high-priority target. The North zone, one of largest zones on the Beaver block, has previously been drill tested on the high magnetic features over 7 km in strike length. In total 3,361.8 metres in 13 holes were drilled — analytical results are pending.
John Gomez, President of Inomin, stated, “It’s gratifying to see every hole intersect serpentinized rock typically associated with nickel and magnesium mineralization. We look forward to receiving drill results and next drilling at Beaver-Lynx.”
The South and North zones are two of several large, mineralized zones identified by drilling at the Beaver block of the project. The adjoining Lynx block, 10 km south of the Beaver block, hosts multiple targets comparable and possibly larger in size than what has already been found on the Beaver block, illustrating the project’s district-scale potential.
The 2025 Beaver-Lynx exploration program is being undertaken in collaboration with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd. which is funding the exploration. Sumitomo is earning into the project through an earn-in and joint venture agreement with the company. Inomin is the operator of the project.
The Beaver-Lynx property comprises approximately 28,000 hectares and is ideally located in south-central British Columbia, 50 km from the city of Williams Lake and adjacent to the Gibraltar mine property, the second largest open-pit copper mine in Canada. Beaver-Lynx is easily accessible by good all-season roads, and is close to hydro-electric power, as well as active railway lines.
Exploration, including drilling, has demonstrated the project may host large volumes of nickel and magnesium. Drilling has also intersected copper, chromium, cobalt, silver, and gold. Given positive initial drilling and metallurgical test results — as well as multiple, large-scale, mineral zones — the Beaver-Lynx project has the potential to be a major source of nickel and other critical minerals.
