The move further cements Powermax Minerals’ role within the growing North American critical minerals sector.
The company announced that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Hopkins project, subject to a 2% net smelter returns royalty.

The area is accessible through existing regional infrastructure, including the Trans-Canada Highway, provincial roads, logging routes, and nearby transportation corridors. Management said the project aligns with the company’s broader strategy of assembling a diversified portfolio of REE-focused exploration opportunities across stable North American jurisdictions.
This acquisition is part of Powermax Minerals’ ongoing efforts to expand its exploration portfolio. The company holds an option to acquire the Cameron REE Property, comprising three mineral claims totaling approximately 2,984 hectares in British Columbia. Powermax also optioned to acquire the Atikokan REE Property, consisting of 455 unpatented mining claims in NW Ontario. Additionally, Powermax owns a 100% interest in the Ogden Bear Lodge Project in Crook County, Wyoming.
Rare earth elements are critical for modern technologies, including electric vehicles, wind turbines, and defense systems.
