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.

Ramp Metals Initiates Drill Program for the Rottenstone SW Gold Property

Ramp Metals Inc. (TSXV: RAMP) ("Ramp Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has initiated drilling at its flagship Rottenstone SW property. The Company has completed three drill holes near Ranger-01, where 73.55 gt Au over 7.5m was identified previously. Each drill hole at Ranger has encountered the quartz diorite intrusion where the gold was previously intersected. The core is being flown back to the core shack daily where it will be logged, sampled, cut, and sent to the lab for assays.

The Company plans to drill a total of 12-15 holes across three mineralized zones including Ranger, Rush, and Rogue as shown in (Figure 1). More information on the three mineralized zones can be found in the Ramp Metals January 20th press release.
