EV Nickel Phase 2 Drilling Results- 48.6 metres Grading 1.31% Nickel from W4, Samples Submitted for Met Testing

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR TO US WIRE SERVICES

  • EVMET22-01 intersects 48.60 metres grading 1.31% Ni, including 13.0 metres grading 2.98% Ni
  • EVMET22-02 intersects to 33.0 metres grading 0.74% Ni, including 9.0 metres grading 1.47% Ni
  • Holes EVMET22-01 and EVMET22-02 submitted for Metallurgical Test Program with SGS Canada Inc.
  • Metallurgical Results from Langmuir W4 anticipated by mid-summer

EV Nickel Inc. (TSXV:EVNI) ("EVNi" or the "Company") is pleased to report the assay results for three holes completed as part of the Phase 2 Drill Program, from within the Langmuir W4 Zone. The holes were designed to provide a representative sample for metallurgical analysis. Each of the three holes intersected high-grade nickel sulphide mineralization consistent with the Langmuir W4 Zone. Two of the three holes, EVMET22-01 and EVMET22-02, will be submitted for the metallurgical analysis to SGS Canada Inc., providing a suitable quantity and quality of material for their test work

Drilling of the Langmuir W4 Zone continues to yield impressive intercepts of high-grade nickel. Hole EVMET22-01 intersected 48.6 metres grading 1.31 Ni%, including 13.0 metres grading 2.98% Ni; Hole EVMET22-02 intersected 33.0 metres grading 0.74% Ni, including 9.0 metres grading 1.47% Ni; and EV22-03 intersected 17.3 metres grading 0.70% Ni, including 4.3 metres grading 1.18% Ni. Table 1, below, summarizes the assay results for the metallurgical drill hole program.

"W4 continues to impress me with its high-grade nickel mineralization. The mineralization at W4 is unique, composed primarily of pentlandite, which relates to high nickel tenors as reflected in these high-grade nickel intercepts." states Paul Davis, EVNi's Vice President of Exploration. "The current metallurgical test program will determine the best recovery method to be used, utilizing the current mill flowsheets for facilities within a 300 km radius of the project. I am excited to see the results of the SGS metallurgical work as well as the results of our continued Phase 2 Drill Program testing the down plunge extension of the W4 zone."

The results of the Phase 2 Drill Program- Langmuir W4 Metallurgical Holes are included in Table 1:

Metallurgical Testing

The Metallurgical Test program being completed by SGS Canada Inc. has the specific goals of characterizing the samples for mineralogy and grindability and the application to existing processing mill flowsheets to determine the floatation characteristics for potential recoveries and concentrate quality. Composite samples representative of the W4 mineralization will be generated from holes EVMET22-01 and EVMET22-02 for this test work. Results of the metallurgical testing are anticipated by mid-summer.

Ongoing Phase 2 Drill Program

The remainder of the Phase 2 Drill Program is testing the down plunge potential of the Langmuir W4 Zone targeting the extension of the currently defined mineralized envelope with an objective of identifying additional down plunge, high-grade nickel mineralization.

Assay QA/QC

Whole drill core samples from hole EVMET22-01 and EVMET22-02 were bagged at the core logging facility located near the property and transported to SGS Canada Inc. for preparation and analysis. Certified standards and blanks that are included by SGS for quality assurance and quality control at the laboratory. Samples are crushed and pulverized in preparation for analysis. Nickel, copper and cobalt are analyzed by sodium peroxide fusion with an ICP finish and sulphur is analyzed by infrared detection on LECO instrumentation. These and future assay results may vary from time to time due to re‒analysis for quality assurance and quality control.

Drill core samples from hole EV22-03 were cut and bagged at the core logging facility located near the property and transported to ALS Canada Ltd for analysis. Samples, along with certified standards and blanks that are included by the Company for quality assurance and quality control, were prepared and analyzed at the laboratory. Samples are crushed to 70% less than 2mm. A riffle split is pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Nickel, copper, cobalt and sulphur are analyzed by sodium peroxide fusion with an ICP finish and platinum, palladium and gold by fire assay and ICP-AES finish. These and future assay results may vary from time to time due to re‒analysis for quality assurance and quality control.

Vertex Minerals Limited  Quarterly Activities Report

Vertex Minerals Limited Quarterly Activities Report

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Vertex Minerals Limited (ASX:VTX) (OTCMKTS:VTXXF) has identified major benefits for utilising pre-concentration technology at its Reward high grade gold mine.

Ore sorting pre-concentration test work was initiated with leading ore sorting provider TOMRA with outstanding results.

94kg of sample from the low-grade stockpile at Reward Gold Mine (Reward) was sorted. The following results were reported;

- Head grade to Sorter weighted average grade (WAG) = 3.70 g/t gold,

- Ore grade WAG after sorting = 16.22g/t gold (337.20% increase on grade),

- Ore/waste split after sorting = 19.31kgs Ore vs 74.54kgs Waste (79% mass reduction),

- Gold lost to waste fraction = 0.03grams (>90% efficiency)

Refurbishment of the plant is well underway, and Vertex anticipates that the plant will be re-installed at Hill End later this year. The Company anticipates production will commence in January 2025.

Vertex acquired a Boart Longyear LM90 underground drill rig to advance exploration at the Reward gold mine below the existing resource.

ORE SORTER TEST WORK AND IMPLEMENTATION INTO THE HILL END GRAVITY PLANT

Pre-concentration technology initiated at the Hill End Gravity Plant to separate highgrade ore from waste before it enters the processing plant.

By processing only high-grade ore, energy consumption can be reduced, water consumption will be halved leading to lower operating costs and reduction of the carbon footprint.

The small sorting unit will be simply incorporated in the existing plant being refurbished by Gekko.

Previous scoping test results from TOMRA suggested that the Greywacke country rock can be efficiently and effectively separated from the high-grade quartz carrying the gold leading to significant head grade uplift and reduced material to be processed.

Test Results

94kg of sample from the low-grade stockpile at Reward Gold Mine (Reward) was sorted.

The following results are reported;

- Head grade to Sorter weighted average grade (WAG) = 3.70 g/t gold,

- Ore grade WAG after sorting = 16.22g/t gold (337.20% increase on grade),

- Ore/waste split after sorting = 19.31kgs Ore vs 74.54kgs Waste (79% mass reduction),

- Gold lost to waste fraction = 0.03grams (>90% efficiency)

ACQUISITION OF A LM90 UNDERGROUND DRILL RIG

Vertex has acquired a Boart Longyear LM90 underground drill rig to advance exploration at the Reward gold mine below the existing resource.

The Vertex team are planning diamond drill programs for the following:

- Below the current JORC-2012 Reward Resource with the aim of expanding upon the existing resource;

- Fosters Exploration Target; and

- South Star prospect area

Acquisition of the LM90 follows an extensive review of the mineralisation potential below the Reward resource, which has only been drilled up to 50m below the Amalgamated Adit. This area targeted is referred to as the 'Reward mid depths' as it is located just 80m to ~200m below the Amalgamated Adit. Refer to Figure 1*

Upon commissioning of the LM90 drill rig, Vertex have planned eight drill holes to target the high-grade Fosters Exploration target.

The LM90 has several advantages well-suited to Vertex's requirements, including:

- The ability to work on surface and underground;

- Safe, Semi-automated, with a rod-handler system which allows for less manual handling;

- Allows greater flexibility in drilling over a number of resource and exploration areas; and

- LM 90 rigs are well-established in the industry as safe and reliable underground drill rigs.

Vertex acquiring its own rig has many advantages;

- Per-metre drill costs will be significantly less than hiring an external drill contractor

- More control and accuracy over precision of drilling.

- Works well with Job sharing

- Reduces pressure on Mining crew to have drill cuddy availability

- The LM90 rig will be accounted for as an asset on the Vertex balance sheet
