In this episode of The Ellis Martin Report, Ellis speaks with Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Metallic Mines, at the SME Conference in New York City. Power Nickel is a Canadian junior exploration company trading under PNPN (TSX-V) and PNPNF (OTC). Its flagship project, the Nisk Project, is located near Nemaska, Quebec—home to high-grade battery metals and critical minerals in one of the world’s most stable, mining-friendly jurisdictions.
Highlights:
The Nisk Project could be a “polymetallic supergiant,” potentially on par with Russia’s Norilsk, with high grades of nickel, copper, platinum, palladium, cobalt, gold, and silver.
Benefits of the Quebec location:
50% exploration tax credits Nearby hydro-powered grid (Hydro-Québec) Proximity to highways and towns
Strong relationships with First Nations
Drilling update:
Over 100,000 meters of drilling planned, fully funded by a recent $5M raise. Lynch notes that they’ve had success already—but “the best holes are yet to come.”
Scale potential:
The orebody suggests a potentially massive deposit.
A unique triangle relationship between nickel, copper, and PGEs often defines the world’s most valuable mining operations.
Based on early copper-to-nickel ratios, Lynch believes they could be uncovering vast nickel tonnage not yet quantified.
Offtake & Feasibility:
They’ve already begun nickel-focused feasibility work with CVMR to produce nickel powder. End-user interest is present, but the company is delaying any serious discussions until further resource definition is completed.
Market commentary:
Despite strong commodity prices, Canadian resource stocks are undervalued. Lynch attributes this to naked short selling and regulatory inaction, which has driven investors into crypto and large-cap stocks. He calls for reforms to restore investor confidence and spur capital inflow.
Outlook:
As Canada raised only $20B in capital last year (vs. $100B+ historically), Lynch expects structural financial reforms and a massive re-rating in the mining sector soon. Investors should look for well-funded projects with active drilling—those will be the breakout winners when the sector turns.
