Canada Nickel Company Inc. announced strong results from the Reid, Mann West and Midlothian properties, its Three Giants. One of its Three Giants, Mann West delivered the highest grade interval within the property to date with 0.63% nickel over 4.5 metres within 0.40% nickel over 18.0 metres within an overall mineralized core length of 0.27% nickel over 452 metres, in hole MAN24-79.
Canada Nickel CEO Mark Selby said, " Our regional exploration program is consistently yielding excellent outcomes with each of the Three Giants delivering strong drilling results. These targets each have a target footprint larger than our flagship Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project, underscoring the large-scale potential of the Timmins Nickel District. We are excited to publish the remaining six resources by mid-2025, bringing the total to eight regional resources and showcasing the vast scale of nickel resources within the District."
The Three Giants each have a target footprint larger than CNC's flagship Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project, underscoring the large-scale potential of the Timmins Nickel District. Canada Nickel will publish the remaining six resources by mid-2025, bringing the total to eight regional resources and showcasing the vast scale of nickel resources within the District. For full details, drill results and maps, see the news release published by Canada Nickel, March 12, 2025.
Noble CEO Vance White said , "We congratulate our partner Canada Nickel on the work completed and results on the Mann Twp property and we are very excited about the prospects for East Timmins Nickel along the several additional projects to be included."
Mann Property
The Mann property is located 22 kilometres east of Crawford between Timmins and Cochrane and is 80% owned by Canada Nickel and 20% by Noble Mineral Exploration. The target consists of four separate targets, Mann North, Mann West (together formerly Mann Northwest), Mann Central and Mann South. The CNC release provides an assay update from six holes, three holes at Mann West, and three holes at Mann South.
Mann West
Mann West is approximately 3.5 kilometres long by up to 1.1 kilometres wide (covering 3.4 square kilometres). The drill program completed focused on the southern half of the target with drilling completed over a strike length of 1.7 kilometres and a width of at least 600 metres. All drillholes intersected long sections of well-serpentinized peridotite and minor dunite with disseminated and visible nickel sulphide mineralization consisting primarily of pentlandite and heazlewoodite. The Company has drilled a total of 40 holes to date at Mann West with 31 holes drilled during the 2024 program. CNC is currently working on an initial resource estimate expected by April 2025. Assays from three holes are presented in this release and a final two holes are awaiting assays. See Table 1 and Figure 1.

Mann South
This target is approximately 5.9 kilometres long by up to 1.2 kilometres wide, having an arcuate and irregular shape, with an overall area of 4.1 square kilometres. The company drilled 20 holes in 2024 and successfully intersected varying degrees of serpentinized peridotite and minor pyroxenite. Peridotite shows anomalous values of PGE in hole MAN24-96. Assays from three holes are presented in this release. See Table 2 and Figure 2.
