Powermax Minerals Inc. has completed its 2026 field exploration program at the Cameron Rare Earth Element Project in British Columbia, submitting 250 samples for laboratory analysis.

Carried out across July and August, the program included geological mapping, prospecting, and handheld radiometric screening. Field teams collected 50 rock-chip samples, 50 soil samples, and 150 stream-sediment samples from priority target areas.

All samples have been shipped to AGAT Laboratories in Calgary. Analytical results are pending and will be released following completion of the company’s quality-control review.

Prior exploration work at Cameron in 2025 and early 2026 included multi-phase geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys that identified rare earth element anomalies associated with pegmatitic and gneissic lithologies.

“Completion of the 2026 Cameron field program provides us with a substantial new dataset across the project's priority areas. The mix of rock-chip, soil and stream-sediment samples, together with the field mapping and screening information, will allow our technical team to evaluate the targets on an integrated basis once the laboratory results have been received and reviewed. We look forward to reporting the analytical results after the Company's quality-control review is complete.”

— Paul Gorman, Chief Executive Officer

Powermax expects to receive, review, and report analytical results for the 250 samples collected during the program. Any future surface work, trenching, or drill evaluation will depend on the forthcoming laboratory data, technical review, financing, and the receipt of required permits.
