Powermax Minerals Inc. (CSE: PMAX) (OTCQB: PWMXF) has begun high-resolution airborne geophysical surveys and field exploration programs at its Pinard and Hopkins rare earth element properties in Ontario, marking the next stage of exploration across two of its Canadian critical minerals projects. The company said helicopter-borne surveys are now underway at both properties, with contractor Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc. collecting magnetic, radiometric spectrometric, and very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM) data designed to improve geological interpretation and identify prospective rare earth element (REE) targets.
The exploration program combines these geophysical surveys with geological mapping, prospecting, and sampling to identify prospective REE targets. The survey results are expected to guide future drilling and follow-up exploration. This work advances Powermax's broader North American rare earth portfolio, which includes projects in Ontario, British Columbia, and Wyoming.
Rare earth elements remain strategically important as demand from electric vehicles, renewable energy, and defense technologies continues to expand. The company is focused on advancing its rare earth projects to meet this growing demand.

It is important to note that the exploration targets discussed are conceptual, and there is currently not enough data to confirm a mineral resource. Further exploration may not yield successful results. The company cautions that these are early-stage exploration activities.
