FPX Nickel Completes Stepout Drilling Program Targeting Southeast Extension of Baptiste Deposit at the Decar Nickel Project

FPX Nickel (TSX-V:FPX) (“FPX Nickel” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of its stepout drilling program of the Baptiste deposit at the Company’s flagship Decar nickel project.  The previously announced program tested the southeast extension of the Baptiste deposit, where adjacent holes drilled during the most recent drilling campaign in 2012 returned the highest-grading drill intercepts on the property.

A total of eight diamond drill holes were completed over a cumulative 1,917 metres.  Drilling was conducted to the southeast of the Baptiste deposit, covering an area of 500 metres along strike from previous drilling (trending from northwest to southeast), over a width of 500 metres (trending from southwest to northeast).
All holes were drilled at an angle of minus 50 degrees, with maximum down-hole depth of 350 metres testing vertical depth to a maximum of 300 metres below surface.

Assays are pending, and first results are expected to be received by the Company in mid-October.
