PTX Metals Completes W2 Project Property-Wide Airborne Magnetic Survey

Toronto, January 22, 2025 - PTX Metals Inc. (CSE: PTX) (OTCQB: PANXF, Frankfurt: 9PX) ("PTX" or the "Company"), a mineral exploration company focused on high-quality Cu-Ni-PGE and gold projects in northern Ontario, is pleased to announce that it has recently completed a property-wide high resolution airborne magnetic survey on its W2 CU Ni PGE project ("W2 Project"). Scott Hogg & Associates ("SHA") were commissioned to fly a 3,191 line-km Heli-GT survey covering the entire property at 75-meter line spacing. The Heli-GT system records triaxial magnetic gradient data flown at low altitude and tight-line spacing to provide industry-leading magnetic data which will be used to target the subtle magnetic anomalies associated with Cu-Ni-PGE mineralized gabbro bodies at W2 Project. The infrastructure and equipment used for the survey was based out of Webequie First Nations and was completed ahead of schedule. Delivery of final magnetic products from SHA is expected by the end of the month.

Ryan Weston, P. Geo, and head of PTX's W2 Project Technical Committee, states, "The Heli-GT airborne magnetic survey coupled with SHA's proprietary GT-Grid gridding software is widely regarded as one of the best airborne magnetic products on the market. We are excited to receive the final product from SHA, which will provide PTX with detailed information and high-quality magnetic data needed to identify many of the subtle, yet important, magnetic features on the W2 Project and ultimately will form the basis of our property-wide geological interpretation and 3D modelling efforts in the central area as we advance drill targets."
