Panther Metals PLC (LSE:PALM) the company focused on mineral exploration in Canada, is pleased to announce the signing of a purchase option agreement over 35 single cell mining claims (the "Claims") covering a total area of 7.25km2 to enlarge the Awkward Prospect area eastwards. The additional claims increase the Obonga Project area to 292.25km2 of prospective greenstone belt coverage,160km north of Thunder Bay in the Province of Ontario, Canada.
Darren Hazelwood, Panther Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The Awkward location on Obonga has already generated industry interest and strengthening our position makes strategic sense as we look to accelerate our growth in 2024. This claim purchase agreement extends the coverage of ground prospective for critical minerals eastwards from the Obonga Project's Awkward Prospect."
