“We are very pleased to acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Ontario with this non-dilutive capital from the OJEP grant, which supported our recent exploration and drill program at Warren,” said Natasha Dixon, President & CEO. “The successful drill program intersected mineralization in each drill hole on the A Zone as well as the D Zone, with the highlight of the program found in hole W26-13 which delivered a massive sulphide zone that returned 0.44% nickel (Ni), 0.28% copper (Cu) and 0.06% cobalt (Co) over 7.1 meters; including a higher-grade interval of 0.58% Ni, 0.18% Cu, and 0.08% Co over 4.0 meters.*See news release March 11, 2026 for full details.
Numerous targets and multiple zones of mineralization have been identified on a property wide scale at Warren. The presence of nickel, copper, and particularly enriched cobalt within a massive sulphide zone in drill core at Warren supports the potential for the deposition of larger magmatic sulphide zones across the property,” she added.

Mink intends to purchase a historical VTEM survey, carried out across the Warren property by previous operators, and have maxwell plate analysis conducted in order to rank and prioritize the VTEM anomalies. This information will complement the ground induced polarization (IP) surveys and magnetic surveys already in Mink’s data base. Compilation work will prioritize the VTEM responses with known surface mineralization and current ground geophysical data in a preparation for a major drilling campaign.
