MT Survey Outlines Large Undrilled Conductive Anomalies and an Extensive Host Horizon at BAGB

Pivotal Metals Limited (ASX:PVT) (‘Pivotal’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide results and interpretation from the magnetotelluric (“MT”) survey conducted across the Alotta and Midrim areas of its 100% owned Belleterre Angliers Greenstone Belt “BAGB” projects in Quebec, Canada.


Highlights

  • MT survey identifies large conductive anomalies below the shallow Midrim and Alotta discoveries, where historical intersection highlights include:
    • 9.4m @ 3.5% Ni, 4.3% Cu and 4.6g/t 2PGM+Au from 56.6m in MR-17-011
    • 4.3m @ 6.5% Ni, 5.2% Cu and 7.2g/t 2PGM+Au from 57.2m in MR-00-051
    • 9.2m @ 2.6% Ni, 2.8% Cu and 3.6 g/t 2PGM+Au from 85.2m in ZA-18-082
  • Extensive mafic intrusive contact ‘host horizon’ successfully mapped in 3D across the entire survey area.
    • The prospectivity of this host horizon is validated by its coincidence with the high grade discoveries at Alotta and Midrim.
    • Location and orientation of the interpreted structures further supports prospectivity of the targets identified.
  • Small fraction of this host horizon has been tested by drilling at surface, and not drill tested at depth.
  • Important targets now identified for follow-up work, which will include historic VTEM reinterpretation prior to drill testing.
  • Survey area is only 5% of Pivotal’s 100% owned 157km2 BAGB project which hosts a large number of near surface, high grade intersections, showings, and geophysical anomalies requiring follow-up exploration.

Managing Director, Mr Fairhall said:

“This MT survey is an exciting enhancement in the understanding of the opportunity at BAGB. It supports the geological model that Midrim and Alotta are indicators of an extensive magmatic intrusion which acted as the plumbing system for these high grade surficial deposits. The survey allows us to map this prospective horizon and highlight prospective conductors as targets for sizeable accumulations of sulphide mineralisation.

It is clear that previous operators had a narrow focus on specific shallow anomalies, and that the property remains wide open for discovery potential – significantly accumulations at depth, but also for on strike surficial repeats of Midrim and Alotta.

We are advancing our target prioritisation to design a program to drill test these anomalies, alongside others on the remainder of the very prospective 100% owned claim package we have assembled at BAGB.”

Nickel Price Update: Q1 2025 in Review

Nickel prices have largely trended down since breaking US$20,000 per metric ton in May 2024.

The decline has been attributed to refined nickel oversupply, driven by high output from Indonesia, which mined an estimated 2.2 million metric tons of nickel in 2024 and accounted for more than 50 percent of global output.

The threat of US tariffs has also weighed heavily on markets that are reliant on nickel and its downstream products, such as the stainless steel and electric vehicle battery industries.

These factors pushed nickel to five year lows in the US$15,000 range in Q1.

Top 3 ASX Nickel Stocks of 2025

With its diverse applications in both technology and industry, nickel is a metal that will never go out of style.

Nickel is commonly used in alloys to create stainless steel, but more recently has found a modern use: batteries. As the electric vehicle trend gains steam, the base metal is in high demand for its role in lithium-ion batteries.

Nickel has encountered much volatility in the past few years. After spiking to record highs in 2022, the nickel price has been on a downward trend on oversupply from top-producing country Indonesia and economic uncertainty dampening demand.

Tariffs could further disrupt the nickel market going forward, but whether that's to the upside or the downside remains to be seen.

Against that backdrop, some Australian nickel companies are still making moves. Here the Investing News Network has listed the top nickel stocks on the ASX by year-to-date gains. Data was gathered using TradingView's stock screener on April 9, 2025, and all companies had market caps above AU$5 million at that time. Read on to learn more about them.
