In a compelling interview at PDAC 2024, InvestorNews host Peter Clausi engaged with Darren Hazelwood, CEO of Panther Metals PLC (LSE: PALM), to discuss the company’s significant progress and exploration insights, particularly surrounding the Obonga Project near Thunder Bay. Hazelwood shed light on the company’s exploration achievements, notably at the Obonga Greenstone Belt, where Panther Metals has discovered substantial Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) mineralization and several new VMS lenses through targeted drilling. These findings underscore the project’s potential to host Canada’s next VMS camp, a prospect supported by comparisons with the productive Sturgeon Lake Greenstone Belt. The CEO expressed confidence in the project’s scale and the promising indicators for further exploration success.

Adding to the narrative of exploration success, Panther Metals also provided an update on the graphite potential within the Obonga Project’s Awkward Prospect. The company’s focused drilling and historical data review have extended the graphite potential, revealing significant intersections of crystalline ‘flake’ graphite. This update, encompassing an additional 21.5 km² target area for graphite exploration, marks a pivotal expansion of Panther Metals’ mineral exploration endeavors in Canada. Hazelwood’s commentary highlighted the strategic importance of graphite in the context of global decarbonization, emphasizing the potential of the Awkward Prospect to contribute significantly to the supply of this critical mineral. With these developments, Panther Metals underscores its robust exploration strategy, leveraging technological advancements and extensive geological insights to uncover valuable mineral deposits within its diversified portfolio in Canada and through strategic investments in Australia.

In this Investor.Coffee interview with world renowned critical minerals expert and Critical Minerals Institute (CMI) Co-Chairman Jack Lifton, Darren Hazelwood, CEO of Panther Metals PLC (LSE: PALM) discusses their exploration efforts focused on Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) deposits in Ontario.

Explaining why Panther’s quest to become the next VMS Camp in Canada is the priority, Darren starts with: “They are polymetallic deposits. In Canada, 49% of the zinc Produced is from VMS, and about 25% of the copper is from VMS — west to us is the Sturgeon Lake Greenstone belt. Now that’s a renowned greenstone belt for VMS deposits. There were 5 past producing mines, all produced commercially from the late 60s to the early 90s.” Darren adds: “Actually, Glencore was back prospecting there in 2023 and Jim Franklin, who’s a world-renowned expert on VMS and a world-renowned geologist said that he believes that Obonga, which is the greenstone belt we’re working on, is the sister greenstone belt to Sturgeon Lake. We couldn’t wish for a better exploration property than Obonga.”

In this interview, Darren and Jack discuss the significance of VMS deposits, and the past success of Northern Ontario for locating such camps. Darren provides commentary on the six holes targeting VMS deposits in the Obonga Project that have already been drilled. Confirming the area’s potential for VMS mineralization, including identifying four separate lenses from five drill holes at the Wishbone area where the Panther team has discovered significant mineralization, including high percentages of zinc, silver, and copper.

With an extraordinary land package of 291 square miles in Northern Ontario, Jack explores the substantial experience of the Panther Metals team. Citing Nicholas O’Reilly, a reporting geologist who is well known for the work he contributes to the Geological Society in London: Jack focuses on Darren’s sizable success as a business professional before transcending into the resource industry. Jack comments: “The thing that is so noticeable about the junior mining industry is that there’s no businessmen in it. It’s usually geologists with a dream. You bring a different dimension to the business because you’re starting off thinking like a business professional. To me, this is a very good thing.” To access the complete interview, click here

In an Investor.Coffee interview with Peter Clausi, Darren Hazelwood, CEO of Panther Metals PLC (LSE: PALM), discussed the company’s strategic focus and current projects. Panther Metals is dedicated to developing the next Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) camp in Canada, a significant endeavor considering VMS deposits include valuable minerals like copper, zinc, lead, gold, and silver. The company’s exploration in the Obonga greenstone belt, located approximately 2.5 hours north of Thunder Bay by tarmac road, has already yielded promising results.

The company controls a substantial 90% of the greenstone belt, which is flanked by belts with multiple mines. Jim Franklin, a renowned prospector in Canada, believes the Obonga greenstone belt is a sister to the Sturgeon Lake District, known for its five productive mines from the late 60s to the 90s. Hazelwood emphasized the untapped potential of Obonga, highlighting its scale and the significant discoveries made, particularly at the pivot point where they are intensifying their efforts.

In addition to VMS, Panther Metals recently announced the discovery of a graphite deposit in the same belt, northwest of the VMS area, the Company’s exploration target area for graphite is currently 21 square kilometers. The 27-meter graphite strike, though of lower grade, signifies the abundance of graphite in the region, a commodity that has gained importance recently. The company’s substantial land holdings extend over 291 square kilometers, representing 90% of the greenstone belt.

Panther Metals also holds stakes in other companies, including 20% in Fulcrum Metals with a uranium project in Saskatchewan, and 23% in the ASX-listed Panther Metals company. They have projects near Hemlo, including the Dotted Lake Project and the Manitou Lakes Gold project. These holdings offer potential liquidity events and alternatives to diluting capital, aligning with the company’s strategy to maximize shareholder returns.

The company’s plans for 2024 focus on exploring the Wishbone and Survey VMS areas and the graphite deposit in Obonga. Hazelwood emphasized the importance of building relationships with the First Nations, recognizing the significance of their traditional lands and the value of mutual understanding and respect.

About Panther Metals PLC

With the debate about inflation raging on as to whether it’s transitory, or what the definition of transitory even is, we are starting to see gold catch a bit of a bid of late. In early September I wrote an article about whether it was time to invest in gold or gold producers. In the article, I looked at the technicals for the commodity and wasn’t convinced it was a buy (or a sell) at the time, but I did suggest that it would be a whole different story if the price spent a few days above US$1,850. Guess what? As of yesterday’s close, gold has closed above this significant threshold for 5 consecutive days. I’m now changing my tune and would suggest the gold trade looks a lot more interesting at the moment.

Correspondingly, one would anticipate that if the underlying commodity starts to look like an appealing trade then so should those companies involved in gold exploration and production as well. After all, the rising tide for uranium has certainly lifted all boats from what I can see, and quite significantly in many cases. With that in mind today we are going to look at a company that is incorporated in the Isle of Man but has gold projects in Canada and Australia. Listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, Panther Metals PLC (LSE: PALM) invests in or acquires companies or projects within the natural resources sector which have the potential for growth and value generation over the medium to long term. The Company does have a couple of interesting nickel-cobalt prospects in Western Australia and a few other resource targets in Canada but, given my introduction, I will stick to the gold prospects for now.

We’ll start with the Canadian assets because there is a little more explaining required for the structure of the Australian properties. Panther has three assets all located in Ontario, Canada, in and around the north shore of Lake Superior. In late September the Company announced it had begun drilling a 400m hole at its Dotted Lake Property located approximately 20 km from Barrick Gold Corporation’s renowned Hemlo Gold Mine. Gold prospects on the property include 23.3 g/t Au over 0.3m and 9.0 g/t Au over 0.4m from channel sampling with reconnaissance rock-chip grades of up to 16.95 g/t Au along a 2km shear-zone. At the Obonga Project the Company announced in early October that it would drill up to three diamond core holes seeking to test the Wishbone volcanogenic massive sulphide prospect. There is also the Big Bear Project which consists of mineral claims covering an area of 42km² over highly prospective and under-explored greenstone stratigraphy.

Skipping across to the other side of the world, Panther has numerous assets in both the Northern Territory and in Western Australia. The catch is that Panther Metals PLC is currently spinning out these assets into Panther Metals Limited (PML) which should begin trading on the Australian Securities Exchange on December 10, 2021. Upon completion of this transaction Panther Metals PLC will hold 36.6% of PML. Given that Panther is a project generator this transaction made sense to provide the working capital to develop the Australian portfolio. Part of the PML IPO was the issuing of new shares resulting in A$5 million being raised to fund the advancement of these assets.

Now that we have the housekeeping details out of the way let’s start with the key Western Australia assets. The Merolia Project comprises a series of largely contiguous exploration licenses located 35 km to the southeast of the town of Laverton in the Eastern Goldfields Province of Western Australia. The area around Laverton includes several major gold mines, including Granny Smith (3 Moz), Sunrise Dam (8 Moz) and Wallaby (8 Moz), and many other significant gold deposits. It is one of the most prolific gold producing areas in Western Australia and is consequently well-serviced by infrastructure and has a skilled local workforce. Previous drilling across this prospect area includes 8m at 6.7 g/t Au at Burtville East and 9m at 46.5 g/t Au at Ironstone. Approximately 15km to the west of Laverton lies the Red Flag Project with its best near surface drill intercept of 2m at 9.2 g/t Au.

The Northern Territory assets include the Annaburroo and Marrakai gold projects, which comprise two granted licenses covering a total area of 160km², located 70km to the southeast of Darwin. Both license areas are close to good infrastructure and the Toms Gully and Rustlers Roost deposits, which are owned by China Hanking Holdings Limited. Previous drilling in the area provided intercepts including 2m @ 9.32 g/t Au and 2m @ 5.74 g/t Au.

This interesting Company provides you a couple of options for participation. If you are more of a fan of the Australian assets, you can simply wait a few weeks and trade PML directly. If you are like me and think the more prospects the merrier then you can go with the parent company Panther Metals PLC and gain exposure to the Canadian assets as well.
