Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 21, 2025) - PTX Metals Inc. (TSXV: PTX) (OTCQB: PANXF) (FSE: 9PX) ("PTX" or the "Company"), a mineral exploration company focused on high-quality Cu-Ni-PGE and gold projects in northern Ontario, is pleased to hear the announcement of Ontario's Premier Doug Ford on April 17, 2025 that took place at the Exchange Tower in Toronto about the new legislation for Ontario to unleash the economic potential for critical minerals and energy projects. As the Ontario's Premier declared a positive step forward for the mining industry, he emphasized strong support in designating the Ring of Fire as an important economic zone and the urgency for infrastructure development, and streamlining approval processes (Doug Ford Announces Bill to Speed up Resource Development - April 17, 2025 | Headline Politics | CPAC.ca). The bill would give the province the new authority to designate special economic zones for strategically important projects, like the Ring of Fire mining development.
Greg Ferron, CEO and President of PTX Metals states: "We are delighted to see such positive enhancements within the Province of Ontario related to resource development and the potential legislation designating the Ring of Fire as an important economic zone. Importantly, we are also pleased to hear that First Nations will be included as a partner in the development of the area. As for PTX, it will support the growth of our projects, the W2 Project which hosts substantial mineralized zones hosting critical metals including Copper, Nickel, Gold and PGEs and our Shining Tree/Heenan Mallard gold projects near Timmins."
The Company recently announced the details of its active exploration program at W2 Cu-Ni-PGE Project (W2 Project) along with plans for subsequent work programs. The W2 Project is a 22,000-hectare property located southwest of the Ring and Fire and 160 kilometres from the existing Pickle Lake all season road, and 30 to 35 km southwest of the proposed utility corridor and all season Webequie Supply Road.
Currently the Company is making progress with a program consisting of drilling, a HeliGT Magnetic Survey, and most importantly enhancement of a 3D geological model over the Central Target. The Magnetic Survey and the 3D geological model has provided PTX with a better understanding of controls of the mineralization in the Central Area which hosts the CA and AP zones, as well as simultaneously defining new areas of interest across the W2 Project.
In September 2024, the Company reported a substantial near-surface Exploration Target in the Central Target (see press release of September 4th, 2024).
As PTX is advancing into the exploration program, the Company expects to update its Exploration Target as knowledge on the W2 Property are being enhanced.
