Magna Mining Inc. (TSX-V: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF) (FSE: 8YD) is pleased to announce the results of a Mineral Resource Estimate prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects for the past-producing Levack Mine, located in the North Range of the Sudbury Basin, Ontario, Canada (Figure 1). The Levack Mine MRE is comprised of both footwall-type deposits, which contain copper and precious metals including gold, platinum, palladium and silver, and contact-type deposits hosting mineralization rich in nickel and Cu.
Levack Mineral Resource Estimate Highlights (as of August 31, 2025, the cut-off for diamond drill data incorporated in the MRE):
Dave King, SVP Exploration and Geoscience, stated, “Today’s announcement of Magna’s initial mineral resource estimate for our flagship Levack Mine in Sudbury represents an important milestone as it confirms the presence of significant mineralization, much of which can be accessed using existing infrastructure. Importantly, in addition to over 5.9 million tonnes of contact-type mineralization in the Indicated category, 178,000 tonnes of mineralization grading 15.5% CuEq remains at the Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE deposit. There also is potential to expand the Morrison deposit with further drilling as it remains open at depth. The very high grade precious metals mineralization delineated in the No. 3 Footwall deposit will be a high priority target for our ongoing exploration efforts, along with other prospective areas in the footwall environment at Levack.”
Jason Jessup, CEO, stated, “The results of Magna’s first mineral resource estimate for the Levack Mine exceeded our expectations, particularly in terms of the grade of the remaining mineralization at the Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE deposit, and the significant tonnage of relatively shallow, contact-type nickel-copper mineralization. This resource estimate will now be used to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment with the vision of utilizing a new ramp from surface to access the shallower deposits, as well as the existing shaft and loading pocket infrastructure to hoist higher grade footwall copper-precious metals ore from deeper within the mine. The contract to complete the PEA will be awarded prior to the end of the year and will be completed during 2026. In addition, we have already engaged a contractor to begin developing the scope of work to re-establish hoisting capabilities, and this work could potentially begin in early 2026. At present, there is a contract mining company working on the 3900 Level ramp to develop access to the 3600 Level between the No.2 and No.3 shaft stations. This connection is expected to be completed in Q2 2026 and will provide many benefits for footwall exploration and synergies with a neighbouring mine. The Levack Mine has quickly become the flagship project within our company and 2026 will be an exciting year as we continue to move towards a production restart while at the same time exploring for new copper-precious metals deposits in the footwall environment at the mine.”
The MRE was completed by Jonathan Cirelli, P.Geo, Senior Geologist of Orix Geoscience Inc. and incorporates diamond drill data up to a cut-off of August 31, 2025. Both the Indicated and Inferred resources in the Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE deposit have been constrained geologically as discrete veins that have either been defined by previous mining operations, or by multiple diamond drill intercepts. Certain mineralized intercepts around the Morrison deposit have been excluded from this MRE where their relationship to known veins has not yet been established. Follow up drilling in these areas will be incorporated into the Company’s ongoing exploration program, with the goal of including these intercepts in a future MRE update. The Morrison deposit also remains open at depth, with underground drilling to test for potential extensions planned for 2026 once drill platforms have been established. Diamond drilling to target the expansion of the Inferred resource at the No. 3 Footwall deposit will also be a focus during 2026, given the significant precious metal grades outlined in the MRE (see Table 3).
This MRE will serve as the basis for the completion of a PEA study by a third-party consultant. This study will further refine the potential to access the shallow, contact-type mineralization via a new ramp from surface, as was previously investigated by the Company’s internal work. In addition, the PEA will also evaluate a re-start of production from the Morrison Footwall Cu-PGE deposit via the No.2 Shaft. The No.2 Shaft is currently being used to move personnel and materials in support of underground drilling, rehabilitation and new development work at Levack Mine. Work is currently underway to determine what is required to re-establish ore and waste hoisting capabilities at the No.2 Shaft. The results of the evaluation of the hoisting system could support a decision to begin the recommissioning work as early as Q1 2026.
