Panther Metals (PALM ) has released details of its first batch of Vibracore sample assay results from the Winston tailings project near Schrieber, Ontario.
The Vibracore tailings sampling part of a work programme designed to delineate a resource estimate for Winston, the first of a series of ongoing workstreams progressing to quantify, evaluate and permit the contained high-grade gold, gallium, silver, zinc, copper, indium and cobalt, and other recoverable minerals within the historic tailings storage facility.
The results 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.
"The continuity of mineralisation and grade we are seeing gives us increasing confidence in the underlying potential of the project,” said Darren Hazelwood, Panther’s chief executive.
“Historical mining records from the Winston Lake mine indicate the deposit was characterised by a very uniform distribution of mineralisation, and while our current results remain early-stage, we are already seeing encouraging signs that this pattern is being mirrored in the tailings. For us, that consistency is extremely important. An even spread of mineralisation supports the potential for predictable processing and scalable production, which is exactly what you want to see when developing a strong production story."
All holes showed notable mineralisation, with gold grades running as high as 0.889 grams per tonne, coper at 0.186% and gallium at 28 parts per million.

Good to see the samples showing all the expected metals, including gold, silver, gallium, zinc, copper, indium and cobalt. This material has already been mined, so ought to be comparatively easy to process. Finding out just how easy is one of Panther’s next key jobs.
