Canada Nickel Announces Discovery of Higher Grade Core at Crawford East Zone

 
 

  Highlights  

 
  • Infill drilling identified an extensive Higher-Grade Core in the East Zone, similar to the Main Zone.
  •  
  • The higher grade cores span combined strike length of 1.6 kilometres, a width of 20 to 50 metres, to a depth of 690 metres.
  •  
  • Drilling in the East Zone has successfully infilled and extended strike length to a total of 2.1 kilometres, substantially larger than previously reported resource.
  •  
  • Hole 142A averaged 0.31% Ni across its entire 576 metre core length, ending in mineralization. Hole 165A (assays pending) was mineralized across its entire 690 metre core length, ending in higher grade mineralization at 735 metres. Five other holes recently completed intersected drill intervals of up to 216.6 metres of higher grade mineralization.
  •  
  • Samples from East Zone Higher Grade Core yielded the highest grade concentrate from Crawford during metallurgical work reported for the previously released Preliminary Economic Assessment with 43% of the recovered nickel reporting to a 55% nickel concentrate.
  •  

Canada Nickel Company Inc. (" Canada Nickel " or the " Company ") (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) today announced the results from the infill drilling program at its Crawford Nickel-Sulphide Project ("Crawford" or the "Project"), which included the discovery of a higher-grade core in the East Zone. The East Zone has now been successfully tested for 2.1 km of its overall 3.2 km interpreted strike length.

 

  Mark Selby , Chair and Chief Executive Officer commented, "The East Zone is becoming a significant resource. The most recent infill and expansion drilling at the Crawford East Zone continues to confirm our target of increasing the East Zone resource by 2-3x and the identification of an extensive Higher Grade Core, similar to the Main Zone, has been an exciting development.  This East Zone core has yielded intervals of both high-grade nickel and PGMs and the latest two holes (CR21-142A, CR21-165A), which were drilled to test this higher-grade mineralization at depth, remained in higher grade mineralization to the end of each hole at 624 and 735 metres deep respectively – more than 100 metres below the current resource.  I look forward to the resource update on the Main, East, and North zones next year to support the feasibility study expected to be delivered later in 2022."

 

  Crawford East Zone  

 

In the East Zone, an additional 6 holes have assays reported, a further 22 holes have been drilled with assays pending. Infill drilling is expected to continue for the balance of the current year to contribute to the resource update next year that will support the feasibility study. Infill drilling, deeper drilling, and drilling beyond the resource outline along strike have all demonstrated continuity for a distance of 2.1 kilometres.

 

The Higher Grade Core was identified during a drill program intended to expand the current resource and was present in previous holes (CR20-28, CR19-31, CR20-33, CR20-34, CR20-35, CR20-36, CR20-37, CR20-39, CR21-112) but was thought to be discontinuous. Additional drilling is consistent with the Company's belief that this core is more continuous and centered along the East Zone, much like the higher-grade core of the Main Zone. See Figures 1 and 2 below. This Higher-Grade Core remains open at depth and along strike.

The western portion of the higher grade core extends for 0.9 kilometres, extends from surface in some places to a depth of 730 metres (see Figure 1 above, and Figure 2 below for views of this structure).

 

The eastern portion of the higher grade core extends for 0.7 kilometres, extends from surface in some places to a depth of 280 metres, with more planned drillholes targeting depth extension (see Figure 1 above, and Figure 2 below for views of this structure).

 

  Crawford East Zone Metallurgical Work  

 

Sample EZ-33-V15, from hole CR20-33 from 327 to 349 metres (which is now part of the East Zone Higher Grade Core) and averaged 0.36% nickel, 0.08% sulphur, 0.201 g/t palladium, and 0.047 g/t platinum yielded the highest-grade concentrate produced during the PEA testwork program with 43% of the recoverable nickel in final concentrates reporting to a high grade nickel concentrate grading 55% nickel.

  Assays, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and Drilling and Assay  

 

  Edwin Escarraga , MSc, P.Geo., a "qualified person" as defined by NI 43-101, is responsible for the on-going drilling and sampling program, including quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC). The core is collected from the drill in sealed core trays and transported to the core logging facility. The core is marked and sampled at 1.5 metre lengths and cut with a diamond blade saw. A set of Samples are transported in secured bags directly from the Canada Nickel core shack to Actlabs Timmins, the other set of samples are securely shipped to SGS Burnaby. Both are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited labs. Analysis for precious metals (gold, platinum and palladium) are completed by Fire Assay while analysis for nickel, cobalt, sulphur and 17 other elements are performed using a peroxide fusion and ICP-OES analysis. Certified standards and blanks are inserted at a rate of 3 QA/QC samples per 20 core samples making a batch of 60 samples that are submitted for analysis.

FPX Nickel Completes Production Run of Battery-Grade Nickel Sulphate to Support Discussions with Prospective EV Battery Supply Chain Partners

FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) (OTCQB: FPOCF) ("FPX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce successful production of additional battery-grade nickel sulphate from its Baptiste Nickel Project ("Baptiste" or the "Project"). Building on the success of previous testing campaigns, a production run was completed to produce larger quantities of nickel sulphate crystals. The nickel sulphate samples, which meet the strict target specifications for battery applications, will be provided to selected prospective downstream partners including pCAM producers, battery companies, and automakers pursuing supply security, traceable sourcing, and low carbon intensity production.

"The production of high-purity nickel sulphate further positions us to engage in strategic discussions with prospective downstream partners across the global EV supply chain," commented Martin Turenne, FPX Nickel's President and Director. "This milestone further demonstrates the strategic flexibility of the Baptiste awaruite concentrate and the technical maturity of the awaruite refining process."

Top 9 Nickel-producing Countries

The top nickel producing countries list has been shaken in recent years by Indonesia's rapid rise to the top, beating the Philippines and New Caledonia.

Demand for nickel is mounting. Stainless steel accounts for the vast majority of nickel demand, but electric vehicle (EV) batteries represent a growing application for the base metal as the shift toward a greener future gains steam.

But while nickel's long-term outlook appears bright, it may face headwinds in the short term. Nickel prices have been trending down since breaking US$20,000 per metric ton in May 2024 as weak usage coincides with strong output from top producer Indonesia.
