Assays at King Snake Confirm Strike Extension

Blackstone Minerals Limited (“Blackstone" or the “Company") is pleased to report that further assay results have been received from drilling at its King Snake Massive Sulfide Vein (MSV) prospect (refer Table 1, Table 2 & Appendix 1).


The continuous series of drill holes reported here returned the following significant intercepts:

King Snake is a high priority MSV target at the Company's flagship Ta Khoa Nickel – Copper – PGE project in Northern Vietnam, and resource extension drilling continues to deliver excellent results (also refer ASX announcements 11 March 2021 & 13 May 2021). Highlights from the ongoing exploration program at King Snake include: \

• New intersections KS21-11 and KS21-12 together with historic drill results have defined a strike length of ~900m at King Snake which includes MSV, semi-massive sulfide vein (SMSV) and disseminated sulfides (DSS) (refer Figures 2 & 4).

• Recent step-out drilling has extended mineralisation down plunge west of historic drilling. Blackstone has mobilised its in-house geophysics crew at King Snake to perform Downhole Electro-magnetic (DHEM) surveys.

• DHEM surveys will inform infill drilling at the King Snake prospect as well as potentially identifying new sulfide targets at depth.

FPX Nickel Completes Production Run of Battery-Grade Nickel Sulphate to Support Discussions with Prospective EV Battery Supply Chain Partners

FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) (OTCQB: FPOCF) ("FPX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce successful production of additional battery-grade nickel sulphate from its Baptiste Nickel Project ("Baptiste" or the "Project"). Building on the success of previous testing campaigns, a production run was completed to produce larger quantities of nickel sulphate crystals. The nickel sulphate samples, which meet the strict target specifications for battery applications, will be provided to selected prospective downstream partners including pCAM producers, battery companies, and automakers pursuing supply security, traceable sourcing, and low carbon intensity production.

"The production of high-purity nickel sulphate further positions us to engage in strategic discussions with prospective downstream partners across the global EV supply chain," commented Martin Turenne, FPX Nickel's President and Director. "This milestone further demonstrates the strategic flexibility of the Baptiste awaruite concentrate and the technical maturity of the awaruite refining process."

Top 9 Nickel-producing Countries

The top nickel producing countries list has been shaken in recent years by Indonesia's rapid rise to the top, beating the Philippines and New Caledonia.

Demand for nickel is mounting. Stainless steel accounts for the vast majority of nickel demand, but electric vehicle (EV) batteries represent a growing application for the base metal as the shift toward a greener future gains steam.

But while nickel's long-term outlook appears bright, it may face headwinds in the short term. Nickel prices have been trending down since breaking US$20,000 per metric ton in May 2024 as weak usage coincides with strong output from top producer Indonesia.
