Power Metallic Mines (TSX-V: PNPN) (OTCQB: PNPNF), formerly known as Power Nickel Inc., is a Canadian junior exploration company focused on developing the NISK polymetallic deposit into a carbon-neutral and reliable source of critical minerals and battery metals. The company changed its name from Power Nickel Inc. to Power Metallic Mines Inc. in February 2025 to reflect its broader polymetallic focus.
Power Metallic is advancing one of North America’s most promising battery metal projects, with the ambition of becoming the “Canadian Norilsk” due to the supergiant potential of its flagship NISK discovery. The project targets high-grade nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium, gold, and silver deposits in Quebec’s James Bay region—a tier-one mining jurisdiction with stable regulations and strong political support for critical mineral development.
About the NISK Project
The NISK project is Power Metallic’s flagship asset, located near Nemaska, Quebec, beside a major highway and across the road from a Hydro-Québec substation supplying inexpensive, low-carbon hydropower. The project benefits from existing critical infrastructure, including a nearby town and airport, and features shallow average mineral depth.
NISK has the potential to be a polymetallic supergiant with high grades of copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, cobalt, gold, and silver. The presence of ultramafic tailings enables significant carbon sequestration to offset the project’s emissions, positioning NISK to become the world’s first carbon-neutral nickel mine.
On February 1, 2021, Power Metallic completed the acquisition of its option to acquire up to 80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp.
