Vancouver, British Columbia — January 19, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Inomin Mines Inc. has announced the latest results from its diamond drilling program at the 28,000-hectare Beaver-Lynx project in south-central British Columbia, highlighting the property’s district-scale potential. The 2025 drilling program, which focused on the South and North zones, was conducted in collaboration with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd.
Key highlights from the drilling program include the intersection of significant serpentinized mineralization, containing nickel (Ni) and magnesium (Mg), in all 13 drill holes across the South and North zones. Drilling has confirmed a mineralized footprint of approximately 500,000 m² at the Beaver South zone and additional mineralization extending along a 7-km trend in the North Zone.
The latest drilling results (holes B25-11, 12, 13) continue to outline broad intervals of nickel-cobalt-magnesium mineralization across a large area, reinforcing Beaver-Lynx as a major new critical minerals system. Analyses also include platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd), elements generally associated with ultramafic deposits. PGMs were encountered in both the South and North zones and are expected to be present across other drill-defined mineralized areas.
Drill hole B25-11 in the South Zone showed 145.2 m grading 0.19% Ni, 0.011% Co, 0.40% Cr, 0.012g/t Pt, 0.012g/t Pd, 23.07% Mg. Drill hole B25-12, located approximately 1,000 m from B25-11, confirmed the extensive length of the mineralized area with 116.3 m grading 0.20% Ni, 0.011% Co, 0.35% Cr, 0.010g/t Pt, 0.009g/t Pd, 22.93% Mg.
In the North Zone, drill hole B25-13 returned 102.1 m grading 0.17% Ni, 0.010% Co, 0.29% Cr, 0.011g/t Pt, 0.011 g/t Pd, 20.38% Mg.
The 2025 drilling program at Beaver-Lynx comprised thirteen diamond drill holes totaling 3,361.8 meters. Drilling was conducted using HQ-sized core, with NQ downsizing often required at depth. In the South zone, twelve holes were completed on approximately 200-meter centers to evaluate the continuity of mineralization. A single hole was drilled in the North zone to test a new high-priority target, intersecting significant mineralization associated with strong magnetic features extending for more than 7 kilometers along strike.
Drill core samples were analyzed by Activation Laboratories Ltd for a 22-element suite utilizing their 8-Peroxide (Total) Fusion, ICP-OES (FUS-Na202). Samples were also analyzed using Actlabs’ fire assay with an MS finish (FA-MS) for platinum, palladium and gold. The resulting grade for nickel includes both silicate and sulphide components of nickel. A secondary partial digestion technique has been developed in-house by Actlabs for Inomin to ascertain the sulphide nickel fraction only and will be utilized on all samples containing > 0.1% nickel values and will be reported on when complete.
Drilling in the South zone has tested a surface area of approximately 500,000 m². The system remains open for expansion in all directions. According to John Gomez, President of Inomin, the 2025 drilling program significantly expanded the mineralized footprint of the South Zone, confirming the existence of a large, polymetallic system. He added that the identification of platinum and palladium marks a meaningful new development, and with a drilling success rate approaching 100%, the company looks forward to the next drilling program.
The 2025 Beaver-Lynx exploration program was funded by Sumitomo, which can earn an interest in the project through an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Inomin, the operator of the Beaver-Lynx project.
The 28,000-hectare Beaver-Lynx property is located in south-central British Columbia, approximately 50 kilometres north of Williams Lake and adjacent to the Gibraltar mine. The project benefits from infrastructure including all-season road access, nearby hydro-electric power, and proximity to active rail lines.
Exploration indicates the property may host large volumes of nickel and magnesium, along with cobalt, platinum, and palladium. Drilling has also intersected chromium, copper, silver, and gold. The South and North zones represent two of several mineralized areas outlined through drilling and magnetic surveys across the Beaver block. Ten kilometres to the south, the adjoining Lynx block hosts multiple targets that are comparable to those at Beaver.
