FPX Nickel Stepout Drilling at Baptiste Deposit Intersects Second-Highest Grade Near-Surface Nickel Mineralization in Decar Project History

FPX Nickel (TSX-V:FPX) (“FPX Nickel” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results of the final five of eight diamond drill holes completed during its recent stepout drill testing of the Baptiste deposit at the Company’s 100%-owned Decar nickel project (the “Project”) in central British Columbia. These results are highlighted by hole 67, which returned the second-highest grading broad interval of near-surface nickel mineralization in the Project’s history.
Highlights

• Hole 67 intersected 96 metres grading 0.167% DTR nickel, starting at an approximate vertical depth of 42 metres below surface, representing the second-highest grading, near-surface interval ever intersected at the Baptiste deposit
• Hole 68 intersected 124 metres grading 0.133% DTR nickel, starting at an approximate vertical depth of 20 metres below surface
• Drilling from 2010 to 2012 and 2017 in the southeast portion of the Baptiste deposit defines a zone (see shaded area in Figure 1) approximately 1,000 metres long east-west by 200 to 600 meters wide of near-surface mineralization with grades significantly higher than the material modeled in the 2013 PEA
