EV Nickel Receives Exploration Permit for Phase 3 Drilling and Initiates Surface Sampling in Carman-Langmuir Area

EV Nickel Receives Exploration Permit for Phase 3 Drilling and Initiates Surface Sampling in Carman-Langmuir Area

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

  • EVNi has received the exploration permit to start drilling in the Carman-Langmuir area, from Ontario's Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry
  • Historic exploration has identified large dunitic bodies with elevated nickel contents
  • Many of the units are exposed in outcrop and EVNi will initiate sampling this week
  • After the updated surface sampling, EVNi plans to be drilling the area this summer

EV Nickel Inc. (TSXV:EVNI) ("EVNi" or the "Company") continues to target the large-scale nickel potential of its Carman-Langmuir Zone located in Carman and Langmuir Townships, approximately 30 km southeast of Timmins, Ontario (for further detail, please see May 17, 2022 news release

The Company has more than 30,000 hectares to explore and has identified more than 100km of favourable strike length.

Historically, the district produced from the Redstone, Langmuir #1 & #2, and McWatters mines, with grades ranging from 0.5% Ni (McWatters) to 2.14% Ni (Redstone). In addition to this production, the Shaw Dome hosts the Hart Deposit and EVNi's W4 Zone, plus the permitted Redstone and Carshaw mills (as detailed in Figure 1).

"Receiving this permit to drill and getting started on our own surface sampling across Carman-Langmuir are great steps towards beginning to realize our great exploration potential," said Sean Samson, President, CEO of EV Nickel, "we are very excited about finding more Large Scale mineralization up at Carman-Langmuir, and what success there will mean for the trajectory of the Company."

Outcrop exposure along a ridge of ultramafic dunite to peridotite extending from the Langmuir Access Road up into central Carman Township is good and the mapping indicate an ultramafic sequence with an apparent thickness of between 250 and 1,000 metres (E.J. Leahy, Ontario Department and Mines and Northern Affairs Geological Report 96, 1971; and D.R. Pyke, Ontario Department of Mines, Geological Report 86, 1970). Several geochemical analyses of the exposed ultramafic units have been completed from the area of interest by the Ontario Geological Survey and the University of Alabama to better understand the mineral potential of these ultramafic units (see Figure 2). Historic sampling of the large dunite-peridotite sequences returned analyses with nickel contents all occurring above 0.25% along the entire length and breadth of the outcrop exposures (Pyke, D.R. 1982. Geology of the Timmins Area, District of Cochrane; Ontario Geological Survey, Report 219, Map 2455, 141p.; and Sproule et al., 2003, OGS Open File Report 6073). All of the analyses are available in the public domain

It is along these large dunitic bodies that the Company will immediately start its own surface sampling this week and is now permitted to begin drilling. EV Nickel plans to be drilling the area this summer.

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
