- For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Pasinex recorded a net income of $42,989 and loss of $1,128,423 respectively (2024 – $0.3 million and $0.3 million loss, respectively). The primary reason for the increase in net loss for the nine-month period was an equity loss recorded in 2025 versus an equity gain in 2024. The increase in net loss for the nine-month period was also affected by higher general and administration costs, due to additional legal costs, and higher interest expense, partially offset by lower exploration costs and a gain on net monetary position.

Management Commentary
Dr. Larry Seeley, Executive Chair of Pasinex, commented: “We have been busy creating value for our shareholders through the full ownership of Horzum, the Sarıkaya acquisition, and the strengthening of our balance sheet with recent equity financing. We have mapped out a detailed development and exploration plan for both Pinargozu and Sarikaya mines, execution of which is only pending the next round of financing, planned for early 2026. With impressive zinc grades and low capital requirements, we envision a short path to being cash flow positive within the next two years.”
Outlook
Pasinex is building a zinc mining company step by step through the acquisition and development of exceptional high-grade zinc deposits in Türkiye and Nevada.
These deposits, ranging from 25% to 50% zinc in Türkiye, have exceptionally high intrinsic value, economically equivalent to copper grades of approximately 9% to 15% at a copper price of US$5 per pound. Türkiye remains one of the best jurisdictions globally for zinc exploration and development, offering excellent infrastructure, skilled professionals, supportive communities, and progressive mining laws. Zinc is recognized as a critical metal essential for global sustainability, with diverse applications and growing demand.
Mining costs range from approximately US$200 to US$300 per tonne of ore, resulting in after-tax margins generally between 30% and 50%. The high-grade nature of these deposits enables rapid capital payback, low economic risk, and substantial upside when zinc prices strengthen. Pasinex’s respected exploration team, strong local reputation, and trusted community relationships in Türkiye provide a steady pipeline of acquisition opportunities at attractive terms.
The Sarıkaya license represents a significant near-term opportunity for direct shipping ore and the potential discovery of a major zinc deposit.
