POWER ONE CONFIRMS FIRST EVER GOLD DISCOVERY AT PECORS, EXPANDING A MULTI-METAL SYSTEM IN ONE OF CANADA'S PREMIER JURISDICTIONS - ELLIOT LAKE ONTARIO
"This is a game-changer for Pecors," added Khan. "To identify gold for the first time on a property with a uranium legacy is a rare and valuable breakthrough —especially as gold spot prices test

Gold Discovery Highlights from 2023–2024 Drilling
The Company's 2023 drill program focused on shallow, near-surface REE targets at Pecors. During this program, drilling unexpectedly encountered a gold-bearing system, marking the first-ever gold discovery on the property.
Project Development Update
The 2023–2024 drill program, completed in early 2024, was impacted by the hospitalization and subsequent passing of the project manager, due to this the core was relocated to a secure off-site facility. Power One is actively working with all relevant parties to recover the core for re-logging, re-sampling, and expanded testing.
The assays completed to date covered only select elements. Following the identification of gold, Power One intends to conduct further sampling of the gold-bearing zone, along with additional analysis for REEs, uranium, and other metals of interest.
Gold highlights include:
-
1.025 g/t Au over 1.5 meters in hole P02401 starting at 242m downhole.
- Multiple anomalous intercepts ranging from 0.035 to 1.25 g/t Au in hole P02403
Strategic Timing Amid Record-High Gold Prices
The discovery coincides with a historic gold bull market driven by inflation, global instability, and central bank accumulation.
Polymetallic Potential and Large Land Package

Additional confirmed and historical mineralization includes:
- Nickel, Copper, PGMs – Including 0.33 g/t Pt+Pd+Au, 0.11% Cu, 0.04% Ni over 12 meters in hole P15-23.
- Rare Earth Elements (REEs) – Stratigraphically aligned with nearby known REE zones (e.g.,
Eco Ridge ) - Possible Hydrocarbon Indicators – Ultra-mafic geological signatures suggest potential for hydrocarbon presence, adding another dimension to the property's polymetallic potential

With gold now confirmed at Pecors, Power One plans to:
- Re-log and re-sample the drill core to refine geological understanding
- Conduct further sampling of the gold-bearing zone, along with re-assaying for REEs, uranium, and other metals
- Perform structural analysis to understand controls on the gold system
- Plan follow-up drilling to assess the extent and continuity of gold zones
