GBC with a Clear Investment Case
For GBC analysts, the investment case is primarily based on the Lion Zone. This zone has the potential to become the key value driver for Power Metallic. The high-grade multi-metal discovery, with repeatedly strong copper-equivalent intervals, could pave the way for a significant initial resource. From GBC’s perspective, the story gains additional credibility due to early metallurgical successes, as the tests indicate very high recovery rates and a high-quality copper concentrate. This is seen as important evidence that the mineralization can not only be located but is also likely to be economically processed and marketed in the future. At the same time, analysts see a clear path for a revaluation of the stock. Ongoing drilling, further metallurgical data, and an initial resource estimate for Lion could evolve the project from a pure discovery story into a robust resource story. The fact that an existing resource is already in place at Nisk further reduces risk, while the large land package in Québec, featuring Tiger and other targets, offers additional potential in a mining-friendly region with good infrastructure.
Value of Lion and Tiger Alone Stands at CAD 535 million
The analysts base their “Buy” recommendation on a clearly comprehensible sum-of-the-parts valuation. They see the largest value contribution, CAD 535 million, in Lion and Tiger, precisely where Power Metallic is currently driving exploration forward. Added to this is the existing Nisk resource, valued at CAD 160 million, which provides the project with a solid foundation and additional development options. The Chilean Copaquire project is included in the valuation at CAD 5 million, plus expected net cash of CAD 2 million by the end of 2026. This results in a total gross asset value of CAD 702 million. After deducting CAD 29 million for the value of warrants and options, the analysts calculate a total equity value of CAD 674 million. From this, they derive a fair value of CAD 2.85 per share. Crucially, the lion’s share of the valuation is attributed to Lion and Tiger. As exploration progresses, the valuation could therefore rise further.
Recent Drilling Results Provide Strong Arguments for a Revaluation
The latest drilling results from the Lion Zone once again provided strong arguments for a revaluation of the stock. This could begin with the release of a resource estimate later this year.
The latest results from the fall and winter 2025 drilling program are certainly impressive. Particularly outstanding is the first drill hole from the 2026 winter program. PML-26-049 intersected 16.55 m grading 10.08% copper or 15.11% copper equivalent. This not only represents the best copper interval reported to date in the Lion Zone but also expands the potential for near-surface mineralization. This makes a cost-effective open-pit mine increasingly realistic. Additional hits, such as 4.15 m grading 4.16% copper, as well as deeper high-grade intervals, further demonstrate that the system remains promising both in width and depth.
Things remain exciting even outside the core zone. In the west and east of the Lion Zone, Power Metallic has assessed additional target areas and found indications of further mineralized horizons. Although the initial exploration drilling there has not yet yielded economically comparable thicknesses to those in the main zone, the company believes there are signs of a “Lion-style” deposit, meaning the discovery potential of the overall project is far from exhausted.

Conclusion: Get in Before the Revaluation
GBC analysts see Power Metallic Mines’ stock on the verge of a revaluation. And this appears to be realistic. The multi-metal deposit is extremely promising; according to analysts’ estimates, it is already worth significantly more than its market valuation, and exploration is far from complete. Adding a few shares to your portfolio before the first resource estimate could pay off.
