(TheNewswire)

Xander Resources Inc. ("Xander" or the "Company") (TSXV:XND) (OTC:XNDRF) (FSX:1XI) is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated November 1, 2021, it has commenced fieldwork at its Timmins Nickel Project (the " Property ") located in Timmins, Ontario

The primary purpose of the initial reconnaissance program will be to build upon the airborne geophysical survey work completed previously (Geotech's Helicopter Borne VTEM) which has delineated a series of high-priority electromagnetic anomalies within the Property (Figure 1) through a soil sampling program, and to assess access for future work including its planned drill program in early 2022.

"We are thrilled to start our work program at Timmins. We look forward to the results of the reconnaissance program as we move towards a more comprehensive program in the future" stated Deepak Varshney, CEO of Xander Resources.

The Property

The Property consists of two (2) separate mineral claim blocks and is located within the Timmins mining camp in Ontario, Canada, a highly prolific mining complex with over 100 hundred years of history and well supported by major infrastructure including highways, rail, and relatively inexpensive hydroelectric power.

The "North Block" consists of 236 claims located approximately 21 kilometres west of Canada Nickel Company's (CNC's) Crawford Project (as shown in Figure 2 below) where CNC has completed a preliminary economic assessment only 20 months after the commencement of exploration drilling that indicates 25-year mine with an after-tax NPV 8% of $1.2 billion i . It is also situated southwest of Kingsmill, Mahaffy-Aubin, and Nesbitt North, properties acquired from Noble Mineral Exploration by Canada Nickel through option agreements earlier in 2021 ii .

The "South Block" consists of 50 claims contiguous to Canada Nickel's MacDiarmid Project (as shown in Figure 3 below) where in May 2021, Canada Nickel announced a secondary discovery through the identification of significant intersections of mineralized dunite similar to the average mineralization initially discovered at Crawford. Geophysical surveys reveal that the MacDiarmid target to be approximately 1.8 kilometres long indicating a structural footprint averaging 400 meters in width – 15% larger than Canada Nickel's original Crawford's Main Zone discovery iii .
