Powermax Minerals Inc. (CSE: PMAX) (OTCQB: PWMXF) (FSE: T23) has initiated high-resolution helicopter-borne geophysical surveys and field exploration programs at its Pinard and Hopkins rare earth element (REE) properties in Ontario. The airborne surveys, conducted by Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc., will collect magnetic, radiometric spectrometric, and VLF-EM data to identify geological structures, alteration patterns, and radiometric anomalies prospective for REE mineralization. The Pinard survey covers approximately 1,319 line-kilometers, while the Hopkins program spans about 1,623 line-kilometers across the Hopkins West and Hopkins East blocks.
In parallel, Powermax has started field prospecting, geological mapping, and sampling at both properties. Results will be integrated with existing geological information to prioritize targets for follow-up exploration. CEO Paul Gorman stated that the combination of high-resolution geophysical data and field-based exploration is expected to provide a strong technical foundation for advancing the company’s Ontario REE portfolio.
Powermax Minerals is a Canadian exploration company focused on rare earth element projects. Its portfolio includes the Cameron REE Property in British Columbia, the Atikokan REE Property in northwestern Ontario, the 5,178-hectare Pinard REE property in northern Ontario, and a 100% interest in the Ogden Bear Lodge Project in Crook County, Wyoming.
