 Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 28, 2025) - Powermax  Minerals Inc. (CSE: PMAX) (OTCQB: PWMXF) (FSE: T23) ("Powermax" or the  "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of its Phase 2  exploration program at the Cameron Rare Earth Element (REE) Project,  located in the Kamloops Mining Division, British Columbia.
 
 Building on Encouraging Phase 1 Results
 
 The  Phase 2 program follows the results of Phase 1 exploration, which  confirmed the presence of light and heavy rare earth element (REE)  mineralization across the property. Highlights from Phase 1 included  (see August 08, 2025, news release):
 
 
 These  results support the presence of REE-bearing minerals such as monazite,  allanite, and xenotime within pegmatitic and gneissic lithologies of the  Monashee Group.Total REE (TREE) values range from 17 ppm to 1,943 ppm.Heavy mineral concentrates samples returned TREE values ranging from 365 ppm to 7,561 ppm.REE enrichment is noted across the property, with LREEs generally more abundant than HREEs.Consistent enrichment of both light (LREE) and heavy (HREE) rare earth elements across multiple lithological units.
 
 Phase 2 Program Objectives
 
 
 Fieldwork ScheduleGeological mapping and systematic rock sampling across new and previously identified mineralized zones.Additional stream sediment and soil geochemical surveys targeting untested drainages and low outcrop areas.Integration of geological, geochemical, and geophysical datasets in a GIS platform to refine and prioritize drill targets.
 
 The  Phase 2 fieldwork has commenced and is expected to take approximately  2-3 weeks to complete, depending on weather conditions.

 About the Cameron REE Project
 
 The  Cameron REE Project covers approximately 2,984 hectares (three mineral  claims) in the Kamloops Mining Division. The property lies within the  Monashee Group, a high-grade metamorphic and granitic terrane known to  host REE-bearing minerals. Mineralization at Cameron is associated with  pegmatites, shear zones, and altered gneisses enriched in both light and  heavy REEs.
