Pan American Energy (OTC: PAANF) has begun mobilizing field crews, personnel and equipment for its winter drilling program at the Tharsis Project in Northwest Territories, Canada, with drilling to begin after site setup and operational readiness.
The company said mobilization covers logistics, camp services and technical preparation; scientific content was reviewed by a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
Pan American Energy (OTC: PAANF) announced a winter 2026 diamond drill program at the Tharsis Project, Northwest Territories, planned for March–April 2026.
The program targets rare earth elements, niobium, and yttrium, comprises approximately 1,500 metres across up to seven holes from ice pads on Squalus Lake, and aims to test interpreted carbonatite intrusive centers supported by magnetic geophysics.
Drilling will produce core for logging, sampling, and laboratory analysis to refine the district-scale exploration model and prioritize follow-up work.
Pan American Energy Corp (OTC PINK: PAANF) announced an extension of its marketing engagement with Upswitch Media Corp. for an anticipated additional 60 days beginning on or about February 9, 2026.
The company will pay CAD $300,000 for marketing services covering ad content, translations, campaign management, testing and analytics; no securities will be issued as compensation.
Pan American Energy (OTC: PAANF) selected primary contractors to support a planned winter diamond drill program at the Tharsis Project, Northwest Territories. Critical Discoveries will supply drill equipment and crew, Heli-Fix will provide fixed-wing and helicopter logistics, and Discovery Mining Services will provide camp and expediting support.
The program aims to provide the first direct subsurface test of a principal intrusive centre in the Squalus Lake Alkaline Complex to evaluate magnetic signatures for carbonatite-related REE and niobium mineralization. A Qualified Person has reviewed the technical content.
Pan American Energy (OTC: PAANF) has begun work to prepare a NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate (MRE) for the Big Mack Project in Ontario, Canada, announced Jan 27, 2026. The MRE will integrate historical and recent drilling data, including nine drillholes completed Nov–Dec 2024, into a 3D geological interpretation and block model with standard QA/QC, data verification, and review.
The company plans to update its NI 43-101 technical disclosure with new figures, maps, sections, and tables upon MRE completion. Jared Suchan, Ph.D., P.Geo., approved the technical content as a Qualified Person.
Pan American Energy (OTC: PAANF) plans a winter diamond drilling program at its optioned Tharsis Project in the Northwest Territories to provide the first core-based subsurface test of priority REE–Nb targets identified by geophysics. The program targets a principal intrusive centre interpreted from UAV and regional magnetic surveys to test whether magnetic signatures correlate with carbonatite bodies and associated rare earth element and niobium mineralization at depth. Results are intended to refine the geological model and guide follow-up targeting.
Pan American Energy (OTC: PAANF) reviewed 2025 exploration work and set technical priorities for 2026 across the Tharsis and Big Mack projects. In 2025 the company acquired Tharsis (carbonatite complex, REE and niobium prospective) and completed outcrop magnetic observations, sampling and bathymetry at Squalus Lake to support drill targeting. At Big Mack (Ontario, LCT pegmatite prospective) 2025 work integrated 2023–2025 drilling and datasets to refine geological controls. Planned 2026 activities include dataset integration, updated geological models, drill-target prioritization and potential winter drilling at Tharsis. The company also appointed Independent Trading Group as a C$3,000/month market maker on the CSE.
Pan American Energy (OTC:PAANF) reported completion of final bathymetric processing from its Tharsis Project field program in the Northwest Territories on Dec 30, 2025. The September 2025 survey of Squalus Lake collected approximately 17,500 depth measurements along east–west traverses spaced ~100 metres and incidental boat tracks. Data were cleaned, interpolated into a continuous digital elevation model (DEM), and integrated with 2023 airborne magnetic data to define basin geometry, shallow shoals, and deeper troughs. The DEM establishes depth constraints to support safe winter ice-based drilling planning and will be used with geological and geophysical datasets to refine drill targeting at Tharsis.
Pan American Energy (OTC: PAANF) completed a nine-day, six-person field program at the Tharsis Project near Squalus Lake on Oct 28, 2025, to support drill planning.
Key deliverables: geological mapping of outcrops, magnetic susceptibility measurements (Outcrop A avg 0.46×10⁻⁶ SI; Outcrop B avg 55×10⁻⁶ SI), collection of representative rock samples and photos, and a detailed bathymetric survey of Squalus Lake with ~17,500 data points on 100 m transects. An archaeological survey was completed with local Indigenous involvement.
All datasets will be integrated into a 3D geospatial workspace; next steps include a preliminary geological map, thin section and QEMSCAN analyses, and creation of an integrated model to guide initial drill hole placement.
Pan American Energy (OTC:PAANF) has announced details of its upcoming 2025 exploration campaign at the Tharsis Project in Northwest Territories. The two-week program, scheduled for September, will focus on high-resolution lake mapping and outcrop analysis at Squalus Lake.
The program includes a bathymetric survey to create a detailed digital model of the lake bottom and targeted outcrop studies to measure magnetic susceptibility and compile lithological descriptions. Additionally, the company will conduct an Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) to ensure compliance with territorial heritage guidelines.
This integrated approach aims to enhance geological understanding, improve correlations between surface geology and geophysical anomalies, and identify preliminary drill targets while maintaining environmental and cultural responsibility.
