Inomin Mines Inc. (MINE:TSX.V; IMC:FRA) continues to advance what is shaping up to be a large-scale nickel–magnesium–cobalt system with associated PGEs (platinum+palladium) in south-central British Columbia.
With additional drilling confirming wide, near-surface mineralization and geophysical work expanding the footprint at Lynx, the geological model is becoming clearer.
At the same time, the chart is beginning to reflect a company that may be transitioning from a prolonged correction in what appears to be early-stage accumulation.
For investors focused on critical minerals with district-scale potential, Beaver–Lynx is evolving into a story that deserves closer attention.
About the Company
Inomin Mines Inc. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on discovering and advancing critical minerals and precious metals deposits capable of supporting large, scalable development.
The company's flagship Beaver–Lynx project spans approximately 28,000 hectares in a well-established mining district of British Columbia. The project is located roughly 50 kilometres north of Williams Lake and directly beside the Gibraltar Mine, Canada's second-largest open-pit copper operation. The region benefits from road access, rail infrastructure, nearby hydroelectric power, and a skilled mining workforce.
The combination of scale, infrastructure, and geology positions Beaver–Lynx as more than a grassroots exploration play. It is emerging as a potential new critical minerals district.
The Beaver–Lynx Nickel–Magnesium System
Beaver: The Discovery Anchor
Beaver is the discovery that established Inomin's technical credibility. Initial drilling intersected broad intervals of magnesium and nickel mineralization, including 252.1 metres grading 20.6% magnesium and 0.16% nickel, with mineralization remaining open in multiple directions.
Importantly, every hole in the inaugural program intersected significant mineralization. Follow-up drilling in the South and Ring zones confirmed continuity, returning long intercepts of high-grade magnesium with consistent nickel values. Relatively near-surface intersections such as 179.2 metres grading 23% magnesium and 0.19% nickel, and over 100 metres grading above 22% magnesium, reinforce the bulk-tonnage character of the system.
This is not a narrow vein story. Beaver is defined by a large ultramafic body roughly 4 kilometres by 8 kilometres in footprint, outlined through drilling and magnetic surveys. That scale is central to the investment thesis.
In addition to nickel and magnesium, drilling has intersected cobalt, chromium, platinum, and palladium. The presence of PGMs is consistent with ultramafic systems and adds another layer of significant potential value.
Metallurgical work has also been constructive. Testing has demonstrated magnesium recoveries approaching 99% via hydrochloric acid leaching and nickel recoveries up to 58% through flotation. At this stage, the key takeaway is that the mineralization appears amenable to conventional processing pathways.
Lynx: The District Multiplier
If Beaver represents proof of concept, Lynx represents the scale multiplier.
Located approximately 10 to 11 kilometres south of Beaver, the 17,300-hectare Lynx property sits within the same geological environment in the Cache Creek Terrane. Regional stream sediment data outline a large nickel anomaly across the property, among the more significant anomalies documented in British Columbia.
Airborne magnetic surveys have delineated an 8-kilometre-wide ring-like magnetic feature and multiple strong magnetic targets exceeding 2 kilometres in strike length. Surface sampling of serpentinite outcrops returned nickel values above 0.1%, with highs to 0.27% nickel.
Unlike Beaver, the larger Lynx area has not yet been drilled. That is precisely what gives it strategic value. The targets are large, near-surface, and geologically analogous. If even a portion of these anomalies converts to drill-confirmed mineralization, Beaver–Lynx begins to resemble a new critical minerals camp.
Ownership
Inomin holds a 100% interest in both the 11,000-hectare Beaver property and the 17,300-hectare Lynx property.
The company is advancing Beaver–Lynx under an earn-in and joint venture agreement with Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd., the Canadian subsidiary of one of Japan's largest mining and smelting organizations. Under the agreement, Sumitomo may earn between 60% and 80% by funding exploration and providing additional consideration, while Inomin remains the project operator.
The presence of a global mining group at this stage materially reduces funding risk and provides technical validation. For a junior company outlining bulk-tonnage potential, that strategic partnership is significant.
Carbon Capture Optionality
An additional layer of long-term optionality lies in the nature of the host rocks.
Ultramafic systems rich in magnesium have the capacity to sequester carbon dioxide through natural mineral reactions. Initial testing suggests that minerals present at Beaver may support carbon mineralization processes. While still early, the possibility of reduced emissions, carbon neutrality, or carbon credit generation introduces a structural advantage that is rarely present in conventional polymetallic projects.
Management and Technical Team
Inomin is led by President and CEO John Gomez, an entrepreneur with a background that bridges mining, media, and capital markets. That combination is not accidental. Early-stage exploration companies require both geological conviction and the ability to communicate and finance that vision, and John Gomez has operated in both arenas.
On the technical side, the company is supported by a seasoned, discovery-focused team. Director John Peters, P.Geo., brings more than three decades of exploration experience and has been directly involved in multiple discoveries in British Columbia, including the Woodjam porphyry copper-gold deposit and the Shovelnose gold discovery. Importantly, he has also played a role in advancing the Beaver-Lynx discoveries themselves, providing continuity between concept generation and execution on the ground.
Advisors Victor Jaramillo and Bruce Winfield contribute decades of international geological and executive experience, including participation in porphyry copper-gold discoveries and the advancement of gold projects through development stages. For a company pursuing district-scale ambition, that level of technical depth matters.
Share Structure
As of early February 2026, Inomin reports approximately 49 million shares outstanding, with warrants and options bringing the fully diluted total to just under 68 million shares.
For a company controlling a large land package with multiple defined zones and district-scale potential, the capital structure remains relatively disciplined by Venture standards. In a rising commodity environment, tight structures tend to amplify re-rating potential.
Technical Analysis
From a technical standpoint, the long-term chart tells a story of capitulation followed by a rebuilding long base.
The sharp decline in 2023 marked a structural reset. Since then, the price has spent considerable time carving out a rounded base or head and shoulder bottom formation. The more recent advance into late 2025 challenged prior resistance near the CA$0.10 level, where supply had historically emerged.
What is constructive now is not just the rally attempt, but the behavior on the pullback. The stock appears to have established a higher low relative to previous troughs, indicating that selling pressure is diminishing. Volume expansion on advances, combined with stabilizing moving averages, suggests that accumulation may be quietly taking place beneath the surface.
The CA$0.10–CA$0.11 zone represents the primary resistance area on a weekly closing basis. A sustained breakout above that level would complete a multi-year base structure and shift the intermediate trend from neutral to positive.
If that breakout materializes, measured move projections from the rounded base imply upside targets near CA$0.12, CA$0.16, and potentially CA$0.18 over time. Those levels align with prior distribution areas and represent logical technical objectives rather than speculative extremes.
On the downside, the recent higher low becomes the key reference point. A decisive break below that level would delay the re-rating thesis and suggest further consolidation is required.
Conclusion
Inomin Mines Inc. remains an exploration-stage company, and with that comes inherent volatility and risk. However, Beaver has demonstrated scale and continuity. Lynx introduces district-level expansion potential, metallurgical results are encouraging, infrastructure is strong, and the presence of Sumitomo reduces funding uncertainty while providing third‑party validation from one of Japan's largest and most respected mining organizations.
The technical structure is transitioning from deterioration to stabilization, with higher lows forming beneath a well-defined resistance band. If resistance converts to support, the valuation response could be meaningful relative to current levels.
For investors comfortable with early-stage critical minerals exploration and the potential rewards that accompany district-scale discovery, Inomin Mines Inc. (MINE:TSXV; IMC:FRA) warrants consideration, and I believe it is a Speculative Buy at the current share price of ~CA$0.085.
