Growing a Zinc Focused Company

  • Pasinex owns 50% of the Pinargozu Mine which is an exceptionally high-grade zinc (47.5%) mine near Adana, Turkiye
  • District & regional exploration opportunity in a world class zinc district in Turkiye
  • New discovery of zinc sulphide beneath high-grade zinc oxides in Nevada
  • Investors should refer to information on Pasinex through our quarterly Financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) available through the financial statements section of the website.
  • Infrastructure is well established in Turkiye. The key to Pasinex being able to ramp up quickly to production was because of readily available infrastructure. 
  • Access to major roads, port (Mersin), major airport (Adana).

  • The average grade of zinc sulphide product sold in H1 2024 was 49.4% zinc.
  • A total of 6,424 metres of underground and surface diamond core drilling and percussion drilling was completed in H1 2024, along with 318 metres of exploration and development adit development.
  • The underground development in 2024 to create more working areas for mining zinc sulphide material continues.
  • Over 6 kilometres of underground development has been completed.
  • Approximately 5o miners and engineers are working at Pinargozu.

Pinargozu Production from Multiple Faces

  • New Adit Project at 541 Level is completed
  • Plan view of mineralization predominantly zinc carbonates (oxides) and zinc sulphides shown in red area; above 663 level and new mining area above and below 541-meter level
  • Cut and fill mining method
  • Production is DSO grade material

Exploration Conceptual Model

  • Carbonate replacement type Zn – geological model
  • Current Pinargozu operation is high up in the “manto” – could be a deep system; lots of exploration opportunity
  • Skarn opportunity

Regional Exploration in TURKIYE

  • The Pinargozu carbonate replacement zinc project is similar to CRD deposits in Mexico such as Naica
  • Pinargozu, Akkaya and region
  • Near mine areas – exploring the strike extension of hydrothermally altered marbles
  • There is potential in the district to find more properties like Pinargozu
Regional Exploration In Turkey

Gunman Zinc Project, Nevada [Exploration]

Exciting new zinc sulphide discovery beneath an old high-grade zinc prospect.

  • Small drill program in 2018 confirms high-grade zinc oxides and leads to new discovery of deeper zinc sulphides
  • Possible high-grade Eureka-style CRD system
  • Verified high grade zinc oxides:
    • 43.9 metres @ 14.2% zinc
    • 13.7 metres @ 26.1% zinc and 5.6 ounces of silver
Gunman Zinc Project Navada
  • Earn in option agreement whereby Pasinex can earn to up to 80% interest in the project based on payments and exploration commitment
    • Pasinex plans to achieve 51% of ownership by end of 2022 on option agreement 

Gunman zinc project

  • Completed a helicopter magnetics survey of 218 line-kilometers, a mobile metal ion soil sampling program of 453 samples and a ground gravity program with 2,078 stations
  • Reverse circulation drilling programs totalling 12,250 meters intersected zinc grades between 5% to 33%
  • Pasinex expects to receive permits to commence its phase 3 drilling program at the Gunman project and has engaged a drilling contractor to begin drilling. Drill targets have been prioritized for reverse circulation drill holes with a minimum of 3,000 meters to be completed.
