FPX Nickel Announces Results of Baptiste Infill Drilling Program Supporting the PEA Resource Model

FPX Nickel Announces Results of Baptiste Infill Drilling Program Supporting the PEA Resource Model

 
 

FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) (OTCQB: FPOCF) (" FPX " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce results of the summer 2021 infill drilling program at the Baptiste Project (the " Project ") at the Company's 100%-owned Decar Nickel District (the " District ") in central British Columbia.  These results are highlighted by hole 21BAP073, which returned the third-highest grading broad interval of near-surface nickel mineralization in the Project's history.

 

  Highlights  

 
  • Results validated the PEA block model and potentially expanded higher grade, near-surface DTR nickel mineralization at the Baptiste deposit beyond the 2020 PEA resource model
  •  
  • Holes in the area of the planned starter pit in the southeastern portion of the Baptiste deposit all returned near-surface, broad intervals with average DTR Nickel grades at or above the global resource grade of 0.120% DTR nickel, including:
  •  
    • 21BAP071 intersected 153.0 m grading 0.128% DTR nickel from 47 m downhole, including 79.0 m grading 0.139% DTR nickel (see Note 2 below regarding true width)
    •  
    • 21BAP072 intersected 282.0 m grading 0.128% DTR nickel from 39 m downhole, including 119.8 m grading 0.146% DTR nickel
    •  
    •   21BAP073 intersected 254.9 m grading 0.151% DTR nickel from 48.1 m downhole, including 157.3 m grading 0.154% DTR nickel,   representing the third-highest grading, near-surface interval ever intersected at the Baptiste deposit  
    •  
    • 21BAP074 intersected 317.2 m grading 0.135% DTR nickel from 33.8 m downhole, including 114.0 m grading 0.159 % DTR nickel
    •  
    • 21BAP075 intersected 136.4 m 0.120% DTR nickel from 39 m downhole
    •  

"We are very pleased to see that the 2021 drill results validated the 2020 PEA block model, while continuing to showcase very strong, near-surface DTR nickel grades in the Baptiste starter pit area," commented Martin Turenne , FPX's President and CEO.  "We expect these results will confirm the conversion of inferred mineralization to the indicated category for a mineral resource estimate in support of a preliminary feasibility study at Baptiste, which stands as the world's third largest undeveloped nickel deposit."

 

  Background  

 

The 2021 Baptiste drilling campaign was designed to convert near-surface inferred resources to the indicated classification to support an eventual Baptiste preliminary feasibility study.  The mine plan from the NI 43-101 2020 Preliminary Economic Assessment (" 2020 PEA ") envisaged the mining of a total of approximately 1.5 billion tonnes of indicated and inferred material averaging 0.120% Davis Tube magnetically recoverable (" DTR ") nickel over the Project's 35-year mine life, with approximately 89% of this mineralization classified in the indicated category and 11% in the inferred category.

 

The 2020 PEA highlighted the Baptiste Project's potential to deliver robust operating margins throughout the nickel price cycle, generating an after-tax net present value (" NPV 8% ") of US$1.7 billion and after-tax internal rate of return (" IRR ") of 18.3% at an assumed nickel price of US$7.75 /lb.  At the recent nickel price of $12.00 /lb., the Project would generate an after-tax NPV 8 % of US$4.3 billion and after-tax IRR of 30.2%, based on 2020 PEA metrics.

 

The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves.  Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.  There is no certainty that the conclusions or results as reported in the PEA will be realized.

 

  2021 Drilling Results  

 

The ten holes drilled during last year's campaign are the first holes drilled at Baptiste since 2017.  Figure 1 below provides a plan map of the locations for all holes drilled at Baptiste since the Project's inception, including those drilled in 2021.  Table 1 summarizes the significant assays returned in the ten holes.

  1 An additional 7 short, vertical holes (21BAP076 to 21BAP082) were drilled to define the location of a future bulk sample for metallurgical test work. These were used to further inform the Project's bedrock model.  Full assays results are not yet available for hole 21BAP085; see discussion of 21BAP085 below.

 

  2 The vertical depth (true width) of all quoted intersections in this news release is interpreted to be approximately 75% of downhole depth.

 

  3 Core samples are assayed for "total nickel" and Davis Tube Recoverable ("DTR") nickel."  "DTR nickel" analyses measure only the magnetically recoverable nickel hosted in awaruite (nickel-iron alloy), whereas the "total nickel" analyses measure both magnetically and non-magnetically recoverable nickel.   The Davis Tube method is in effect a mini-scale metallurgical test procedure used to provide a more accurate measure of recoverable nickel and is the global industry-standard geometallurgical test for magnetic recovery operations and exploration projects.  See "Sampling and Analytical Method", below.

 

In general, results from the 2021 Baptiste in-fill drilling program validated the PEA block model.  In particular, drilling results in the starter pit area (holes 21BAP071 to 21BAP075) returned the expected nearer-surface, higher-grade tonnage.  Upon a future update of the Baptiste resource model, it is expected that the intended conversion from inferred to indicated categorization will be realized.  In addition, the drilling results also improve the Company's understanding of dikes and their influence on internal dilution, yielding further benefits in an eventual resource model update.

 

Hole 21BAP071 was collared within the 2020 PEA resource pit outline and drilled to the northwest at an angle of minus 58 degrees.  Drilling intersected bedrock at a depth of 47 m downhole, with strong awaruite mineralization extending to 200 m .  Weaker awaruite mineralization characterized the remainder of the hole due to pervasive Iron Carbonate alteration.  Results include a 2.5 m section of gabbro dike.

 

21BAP072 was collared 170 m along strike from 21BAP071 and drilled to the north at an angle of minus 61 degrees.  Drilling intersected bedrock at 39 m , with strong awaruite mineralization extending to 285 m .  Weaker awaruite mineralization characterized the remainder of the hole due to pervasive iron carbonate alteration.  Results include 11.6 m and 6.37 m sections of gabbro dike.

 

21BAP073 was collared approximately 300 m south of 21BAP072 and drilled to the northwest at an angle of minus 61 degrees.  Drilling intersected bedrock at 48.1 m , with strong awaruite mineralization extending the remaining length of the hole to 303 m .  Results include several 1- 3 m gabbro dikes.

 

21BAP074 was collared approximately 135 m along strike of 21BAP073 and drilled to the northeast at an angle of minus 61 degrees.  Drilling intersected bedrock at 33.8 m , with strong awaruite mineralization extending the remaining length of the hole to 351 m .  Results include several 1- 3 m gabbro dikes.

 

21BAP075 was collared approximately 185 m along strike from 21BAP071 and drilled to the southwest at an angle of minus 60 degrees.  Drilling intersected bedrock at 39 m , with strong awaruite mineralization extending the remaining length of the hole to 175.4 m .  Results include two 1- 3 m dikes.

 

21BAP083 was collared 165 m along strike to the northwest from 21BAP084.  Drilling intersected bedrock at 8.9 m , with moderate awaruite mineralization extending to 138 m .  This mineralization was associated with a higher degree of antigorite alteration.  A larger 5.82 m gabbro dike was encountered near the end of the hole.

 

21BAP084 was collared within the northeastern section of the Baptiste deposit and drilled to the northeast at an angle of minus 60 degrees. Drilling intersected bedrock at 31 m , with moderate awaruite mineralization extending to 151 m .  The results included two 2- 4 m gabbro dikes.

 

21BAP085 was collared adjacent to 21BAP86, drilling to the southwest at an angle of minus 60 degrees.  Drilling intersected bedrock at the collar with moderate awaruite mineralization extending the remaining length of the hole to 161.6 m .  Assay results from the top of the hole to 77.9 m have not been finalized; from 77.9 m to the end of the hole at 161.6 m , the hole encountered 83.7 m grading 0.120% DTR Ni (0.190% total Ni).

 

21BAP086 was collared within the northwestern portion of the Baptiste deposit and drilled to the northeast at an angle of minus 60 degrees.  Drilling intersected bedrock at the collar, with moderate awaruite mineralization extending from 43 m to 159 m downhole.

 

21BAP087 was collared 245 m to the west of 21BAP086 and drilled to the northeast at an angle of minus 61 degrees.  Drilling intersected bedrock at 3 m , with strong awaruite mineralization extending from 3 m to 147 m .

  About the Decar Nickel District  

 

The Company's Decar Nickel District claims cover 245 km 2 of the Mount Sidney Williams ultramafic/ophiolite complex, 90 km northwest of Fort St. James in central British Columbia . The district is a two-hour drive from Fort St. James on a high-speed logging road.

 

Decar hosts a greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization in the form of a naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy called awaruite (Ni 3 Fe), which is amenable to bulk-tonnage, open-pit mining. Awaruite mineralization has been identified in four target areas within this ophiolite complex, being the Baptiste Deposit, and the B, Sid and Van targets, as confirmed by drilling, petrographic examination, electron probe analyses and outcrop sampling on all four.  Since 2010, approximately US $28 million has been spent on the exploration and development of Decar.

 

Of the four targets in the Decar Nickel District, the Baptiste Deposit, which was initially the most accessible and had the biggest known surface footprint, has been the focus of diamond drilling since 2010, with a total of 99 holes and 33,700 m of drilling completed.  The Sid target was tested with two holes in 2010 and the B target had a single hole drilled in 2011; all three holes intersected nickel-iron alloy mineralization over wide intervals with DTR nickel grades comparable to the Baptiste Deposit.  The Van target was not drill-tested at that time as bedrock exposures in the area were very poor prior to more recent logging activity.  In 2021, the Company executed a maiden drilling program at Van, which has returned promising results comparable with the strongest results at Baptiste.

Cobalt Prices Surge as DRC Extends Export Ban to September

Cobalt prices are surging after the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the world’s largest producer, extended its export ban by three months in a bid to address global oversupply and stabilize plunging prices.

According to the Financial Times, cobalt prices on China’s Wuxi Stainless Steel Exchange rose nearly 10 percent after the DRC government announced the news over the weekend.

The ban — originally set to expire on Monday (June 23) — will now remain in effect until at least September.

ASX Cobalt Stocks: 4 Biggest Companies in 2025

After spending much of the last two years trending downwards, the cobalt price is spiking in 2025.

About 75 percent of global cobalt output comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). While electric vehicle (EV) demand has remained positive, cobalt oversupply has weighed on markets and hurt efforts to build supply chains outside of the DRC.

However, the country banned exports of cobalt in February in an effort to increase the metal's falling price. By mid-March, cobalt had spiked to US$36,170 per tonne, up more than 65 percent from its record-low price of US$21,550 hit in late January.

Increasing electric vehicle (EV) and lithium-ion battery demand is expected to be supportive for key battery raw materials in the coming years. This means that as demand for EVs increases, so too will demand for cobalt — and, as one of the top four cobalt-producing countries in the world, Australia finds itself in a position to capitalise on this demand.

Cobalt Market Update: Q1 2025 in Review

Cobalt metal prices fell to a nine year low in February after another year of oversupply, but rebounded sharply after the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) instituted a four month export pause for the critical metal.

After starting the year at US$24,495 per metric ton, cobalt ended the three month period at US$34,040.40, a strong 39 percent increase from January’s value. The price spread between cobalt’s first quarter low of US$21,467.70 on January 29 and its Q1 high of US$36,262 on March 17 is even more impressive at 69 percent.

The drop to US$21,467.70 marked the battery metal's lowest level since February 2016.

Electra Secures Federal Support for North America’s Only Cobalt Sulfate Refinery

Electra Battery Materials (TSXV:ELBM,NASDAQ:ELBM) announced on March 21 that it has received a letter of intent from the Canadian government for C$20 million in proposed funding.

The money would support the construction and commissioning of North America’s first battery-grade cobalt refinery, a critical step toward strengthening the region’s electric vehicle (EV) supply chain.

The refinery, located in Temiskaming Shores, Ontario, is set to produce 6,500 metric tons of cobalt sulfate annually, enabling domestic production of up to 1 million EVs per year. According to Electra, it would be a key step in reducing North America's dependence on China, which currently refines approximately 90 percent of the world’s cobalt.
