Panther Metals (PALM ) has released a video of the results of airborne magnetic survey undertaken in 2025, which has been subject to 3-D inversion modelling.
Wishbone is an emerging and highly prospective base metal volcanogenic massive sulphide system in Ontario, Canada.
The modelling was undertaken with a view to refining the parameters of the permitted drill holes ahead of a diamond drilling programme.
The video is available to view on the Panther Metals PLC YouTube channel ».
Highly anomalous copper in lake and stream sediments has also been identified.
The work now being planned is covered by Exploration Permit PR-24-000022, which is valid through to 20 June 2027. This permit authorises a comprehensive exploration programme, including up to 39 diamond core drill holes and down-hole electromagnetic geophysics.
"As move towards and period of intense work activity at the exciting Wishbone VMS prospect, we would like to provide an update on our geological and magnetic inversion modelling activities which illustrate the scale of the Wishbone system that we will be drill targeting in the coming quarter,” said Darren Hazelwood, chief executive of Panther.
“Panther Chairman Nick O'Reilly and I will be at the PDAC Conference in Toronto next week where we will be meeting with various Wishbone stakeholders, and we look forward to providing further updates as our plans advance."

Wishbone is situated in a similar geological environment to the nearby Sturgeon Lake VMS mining camp, on the Wabigoon Greenstone Belt, approximately 75 kilometres due west. The Sturgeon Lake VMS Camp is host to five historic zinc-copper-lead-silver producing mines. So this is highly prospective country, and Wishbone has already demonstrated good mineralisation in previously undertaken exploration and drilling work. The next steps will be crucial in the evolution of the prospect as a real opportunity for Panther. But it’s permitted, and the preliminary work has gone well. Drilling will be crucial.
