Nickel Sulfides Confirmed at Gold Bridge and Twilight Projects, Canada

Blackstone Minerals Limited (“Blackstone” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration progress at its Gold Bridge Au and Ni-Co Project in British Columbia (formerly the BC-Cobalt Project) and Twilight Ni-Cu Sulfide Project in Labrador.

Highlights from the recent drill program at the Gold Bridge Project include:

Jewel Prospect, Gold Bridge Project:

  • Maiden drill hole JWD21-01 intersects 0.9m at 1.45 % Cu, 0.56% Ni and 0.19% Co from 376.7m, including 0.27m at 3.86 % Cu, 1.63 % Ni, 0.62% Co,1.49 g/t Au and 45 g/t Ag from 376.98m, and multiple gold intersections up to 0.3 m at 5.7 g/t Au
  • 1700 Siemen off-hole conductor has been modelled from downhole EM survey

Western Gem Prospect, Gold Bridge Project:

  • Maiden drill hole WGD21-01 intersects 81m ultramafic-hosted disseminated sulfides assaying 0.21 % Ni from 65.36 m
  • Assaying and petrography confirms widespread presence of Ni sulfides

Twilight Project, Labrador:

  • Historic drilling encountered up to 16 m @ 0.16% Ni and 0.15% Cu from 151.7 m in E1W5 including 0.55 m @ 0.34% Ni, 0.36% Cu and 374 ppm Co from 159.15 m associated with gabbro-hosted disseminated sulfides
  • Prospecting and inspection of historic drill core by Blackstone geologists confirms presence of disseminated to semi-massive gabbro-hosted Ni and Cu sulfides

Scott Williamson, Blackstone’s Managing Director, said:

The maiden three-hole drill program testing Induced Polarisation targets at the Jewel and Western Gem prospects successfully encountered disseminated and massive sulfides, and test-work has confirmed the presence of significant nickel sulfides in addition to the cobalt, gold, silver and copper sulfides. The recognition of broad disseminated nickel sulfide zones adds an exciting new exploration dimension to the Gold Bridge district that Blackstone will be following up starting with high powered ground EM to test for massive sulfide zones.

Blackstone has also entered into an option agreement over a gabbro hosted nickel-copper sulfide project in Labrador, home to the world class Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper-cobalt sulfide deposit. Reconnaissance field inspection confirms nickel and copper sulfide fertility, with the Company now looking forward to testing this very underexplored area for massive sulfides with modern high powered ground EM “.

Gold Bridge Au and Co-Ni Project, British Columbia

The Gold Bridge (Gold – Cobalt – Copper – Nickel) Project comprises 365 km2 of contiguous 100% Blackstone owned mining claims located in the Cordilleran Terranes of British Columbia, Canada. The Project includes c. 48 strike km of the regional Cadwallader- Fergusson fault zone which hosts the Bralorne and Pioneer gold deposits. Blackstone’s Gold Bridge tenure also includes several high-grade hydrothermal Au, Co, Ni and Cu deposits and targets, most notably the historic Little Gem and Jewel mines.

Promising new source of low-carbon, battery-grade nickel

FPX Nickel (TSXV:FPX)

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.
