NiobiumX Mining outlines staged exploration plan for Shipshaw niobium project in Quebec

NiobiumX Mining outlined a four-stage exploration strategy on October 16, 2026, to identify and drill-test niobium targets at Shipshaw in Quebec. The property covers approximately 2,686 hectares, with its nearest boundary about two kilometres from Niobec, North America's only producing niobium mine. Planned high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys will cover all 48 claims, following compilation of historical exploration data. Machine-learning analysis and 3D magnetic modeling will rank targets for diamond drilling based on combined geophysical and structural evidence. Previous drilling in 2010 and 2011 intersected the carbonatite complex in all 23 holes, totaling approximately 5,850 metres.
