What Panther Metals does

Panther Metals PLC is a public, pre-revenue natural resources exploration and project-development company listed on the standard segment of the London Stock Exchange Main Market under ticker PALM. It invests in or acquires companies and mineral projects with medium- to long-term value-generation potential, targeting base, precious, energy, and critical metals in established and politically stable jurisdictions. Its disclosed portfolio is concentrated in Ontario, Canada, and it does not presently have identifiable operating customers or conventional product pricing.

The portfolio includes the Winston Mine and Winston Tailings projects, the multi-target Obonga exploration project, and the Dotted Lake project. Winston is a brownfield redevelopment using historic tailings and ready-built infrastructure; Panther Metals is testing non-cyanide extraction methods to recover gold, gallium, indium, silver, zinc, copper, and cobalt. Obonga comprises targets including Wishbone, Awkward, Ottertooth, Survey, and Silver Rim, where drilling has produced an 11.6% zinc intercept and 51 meters of sulphide-dominated mineralization. These are project-development and exploration results rather than evidence of operating production.

Panther Metals' current economic model is project acquisition, exploration, resource definition, permitting, and eventual value realization rather than recurring software or service revenue. No production, customer contract, pricing structure, or operating revenue is disclosed, consistent with its pre-revenue status. The company communicates primarily through its investor-relations website, regulatory disclosures, presentations, financial reports, and shareholder newsletter as it seeks to advance its mineral projects.

• Broken Rock ResourcescoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 6 July 2026Panther Metals extended the purchase agreement terms for the Obonga copper/zinc/lead/nickel/platinum group metals project in Ontario. The expiry date was pushed from August 31, 2026 to April 30, 2027. In consideration, Panther allotted 30,000 new ordinary shares to Broken Rock. This provides operational flexibility to advance the ongoing Phase 1 diamond drilling programme.
• Extrakt Process SolutionscoreTechnology or Integration · 7 January 2026Appointed to conduct metallurgical testwork for metal recovery from Winston Tailings Project in Ontario. Initial testing phase analyzes representative samples from historic Winston Lake Mine tailings for extraction performance of gold, gallium, indium, silver, zinc, copper, cobalt, and other metals. Results guide subsequent phases and support the Mineral Resource Estimate.
• TDI Solutions LLCsupportingTechnology or Integration · 7 January 2026Independent laboratory working alongside Extrakt Process Solutions for phased metallurgical testwork on Winston Tailings Project. Evaluates recovery of gold, gallium, indium, silver, zinc, copper, and cobalt from historic tailings.
• SRK Exploration LtdcoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting Partner · 22 September 2025Appointed as independent consultants to conduct a Mineral Resource Estimate for the Winston Tailings Project in Ontario. The MRE will cover high-grade gold, gallium, silver, zinc, copper, and cobalt in historic tailings.
