Inomin Mines Inc., a company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol MINEhas embarked on a significant exploration endeavor at its 28,000-hectare Beaver-Lynx polymetallic project in south-central British Columbia. This initiative, representing a $2.3 million investment, is the largest single exploration program at the site to date and includes the first-ever drilling at the Lynx block.
The Lynx block is of particular interest due to its multiple magnetic zones, which are believed to indicate underlying nickel mineralization. The drilling project, contracted to Atlas Drilling Ltd of Kamloops, BC, will involve approximately 4,100 metres of drilling at the Onuki zonea 6 km² target within the Lynx block. Previous outcrop sampling at Onuki has yielded values up to 2,640 ppm nickel, highlighting the area’s potential.
The Onuki Zone: A Promising Target
The Onuki zone is one of several 3-6 km² magnetic targets identified through airborne surveys and surface rock sampling at Lynx. The mineralization at Lynx exhibits characteristics similar to the Beaver block to the north, where Inomin has delineated multiple zones of near-surface nickel-magnesium-cobalt mineralization, along with accessory platinum and palladium.
John Gomez, President of Inomin, expressed enthusiasm about the project, stating, “We’ve long viewed Lynx as the key to confirming Beaver-Lynx as a district-scale system. If drilling at Onuki delivers results comparable to Beaver, it would mark a major step toward demonstrating the full scope of this emerging polymetallic district.”
Exploration and Infrastructure
A detailed ground magnetic survey is currently underway at Onuki to refine drill targeting. Subject to permitting processes, some drillholes at the Onuki zone may be reallocated to the Beaver South zone to continue expanding the mineralized footprint and advance the project.
The Beaver-Lynx project is strategically located approximately 50 kilometres north of Williams Lake and adjacent to the Gibraltar mine, Canada’s second-largest open-pit copper operation. The project benefits from exceptional infrastructure, including all-season road access, nearby hydro-electric power, and proximity to an active rail line. The surrounding resource communities provide comprehensive services and a skilled workforce.
Exploration to date has focused exclusively on the Beaver block, indicating the property may host large volumes of nickel and magnesium, along with cobalt, platinum, and palladium. Drilling has also intersected chromium, copper, silver, and gold, underscoring the polymetallic nature of the system.
The Lynx Block: A Significant Opportunity
The adjoining Lynx block, located 10 kilometres south of Beaver, hosts multiple high-priority magnetic and geochemical targets comparable in size—and in some cases potentially larger—than those at Beaver. Together, the two blocks outline a significant district-scale critical minerals opportunity.
An airborne magnetics survey completed over Lynx delineated an 8-kilometre-wide ring-like magnetic anomaly and several strong magnetic anomalies—all greater than 2 kilometres in length—denoted as the Bear, Skulow, and Onuki areas. These three areas were the focus of prospecting; of the seventeen rock samples chipped from outcroppings, nine contained greater than 0.1% nickel, with the highest grading sample containing 0.27% nickel.
The 2026 Beaver-Lynx exploration program is being undertaken in collaboration with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd., which is funding the exploration. Sumitomo can earn an interest in the project through an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Inomin. Inomin is the operator of the Beaver-Lynx project.
