Pan American Energy’s Collaboration with the University of Regina Receives Federal NSERC Alliance - MITACS Grant Funding Totalling $610,000
Rhea-AI Summary
Pan American Energy Corp. (CSE: PNRG | OTCQB: PAANF) has announced that its collaborative research project, 'Geomicrobiology for Detecting Rare Metal Deposits', has been awarded $610,000 in non-dilutive funding from NSERC and MITACS. This project, a collaboration between Pan American, Integral Metals Corp., and the University of Regina, aims to enhance exploration at the Big Mack Lithium Project in Ontario.
The funding will support the Spring 2024 field sampling program and subsequent testing. The program, completed on June 21st, 2024, involved collecting soil, rock, and vegetation samples, as well as recording field data and groundwater chemistry. Pan American intends to use geomicrobiology to refine exploratory drill targets at Big Mack, potentially extending known mineralization.

CALGARY, Alberta, July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pan American Energy Corp. (CSE: PNRG | OTCQB: PAANF | FRA: SS60) ("Pan American” or the "Company") is pleased to announce the collaborative research project entitled “Geomicrobiology for Detecting Rare Metal Deposits” has been awarded
On June 21st, 2024, Pan American announced the completion of the Spring 2024 field prospecting and sampling program at the Big Mack Lithium Project (“Big Mack” or the “Project”), located 80 km north of the town of Kenora, Ontario. The program was led by Dr. Jared Suchan, P.Geo. (a technical consultant to the Company) and Dr. Andrew Cameron (IMSS/U of R). Eight students specializing in geosciences and biology from the U of R recorded field data across the Project area, documented site observations, tested ground water chemistry, and collected an array of samples including soil, rocks, and vegetation. Pan American intends to utilize the data collected and geomicrobiology to help generate, improve, and refine exploratory drill targets at the Big Mack. The grant funding helps to offset a significant amount of the costs to conduct the research, including costs associated with field sampling at, and assaying the samples from, the Project.
“We are thrilled that our collaborative research project on geomicrobiology has received this substantial grant from NSERC and MITACS,” said Jason Latkowcer, CEO of Pan American. “This none-dilutive funding significantly offsets the costs associated with our field exploration and laboratory testing for geomicrobiology, providing immense value to the Company and its research partners. By integrating geomicrobiology with our existing geochemical and geophysical data, we hope to enhance our understanding of the mineralization at Big Mack and refine our exploratory drill targets with the aim of extending the extent of known mineralization at the Project. I would like to personally congratulate Dr. Cameron, Dr. Suchan and the entire team involved in this research.”

In particular, this press release contains forward-looking information relating to, among other things the aim and proposed utility of geomicrobial surveys; and the utility of the research results in the Company’s exploration of the Project, including in generating, improving, and refining drill targets at the Project which extend the extent of known mineralization at the Project.
Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts or projections set out in forward-looking information, including, in respect of the forward-looking information included in this press release, the outcome of the research will be of assistance to the Company in exploring the Project and generating, improving, and refining drill targets at the Project which extend the extent of known mineralization at the Project; and geomicrobial surveys can be utilized in the manner anticipated in the exploration of mineral projects.
Although forward-looking information is based on the reasonable assumptions of the Company’s management, there can be no assurance that any forward-looking information will prove to be accurate. Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such factors include, among other things, risks inherent in exploration, testing and research, including risks relating to changes in project parameters or delays as plans continue to be redefined, that exploration, testing and research is inherently uncertain and that the results of testing and research may not be reproducible at scale; and that the exploration and/or research may be unsuccessful or fail to achieve the results anticipated by the U of R or the Company, including that the Company may be unable to utilize the results of its field program, in conjunction with the U of R’s research, to enhance its exploration of the Project and/or generate, improve or refine drill targets at the Project which extend the extent of known mineralization at the Project.
