Xander Resources Completes Second Phase of Drilling Program for Timmins Nickel Project

(TheNewswire)

Xander Resources Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia TheNewswire - March 20, 2023 Xander Resources Inc. ("Xander" or the "Company") (TSXV:XND) (OTC:XNDRF) (FSX:1XI) is pleased to announce that it has completed the second phase of its fully financed drill program at its Timmins Nickel Project (the " Property ") located in Timmins, Ontario.

The drill program comprised 1,559 metres across six (6) drill holes and continued Xander's strategy of targeting geophysical anomalies on its claims that are on trend and/or adjacent to properties where Canada Nickel Company (CNC) has identified significant nickel mineralization.

  • Three (3) holes, NKV23-1, NKV23-2, and NKV23-3, targeted the northern part of the Company's "North Block" on claims along trend with CNC's Mahaffy and Nesbitt properties. Both properties have been drilled by CNC, with the first two drill holes at Nesbitt returning significant intersections of mineralization with intervals of visible disseminated sulphides consistent with the Higher Grade Zone at CNC's Crawford Project where a preliminary economic assessment indicates a 25-year mine with an after-tax NPV (net present value) with 8-per-cent discount rate of $1.2-billion ( https://bit.ly/3YMsYFi , https://bit.ly/3E3b3CB ).

  • Three (3) holes, NKV23-4, NKV23-5, and NKV23-6, were drilled in the Company's "South Block" of claims that are adjacent to CNC's MacDiarmid Project where CNC announced its second major discovery in the Timmins Camp with a target that is approximately 15% larger than Canada Nickel's original Crawford's Main Zone discovery ( https://bit.ly/3RVjMfI ).

  • Ultramafics comprising komatiitic flows, gabbro and/or peridotite were intersected in five (5) of the six (6) drill holes. Notable intercepts include:

The Timmins Nickel Project

The Timmins Nickel Project consists of two (2) separate mineral claim blocks (as shown in Figure 2 below) 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 336 claims located approximately 21 kilometres west of Canada Nickel Company's (CNC's) Crawford Project 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 and adjacent to CNC's recently identified Reid Discovery which has already through early exploration delineated a mineralized footprint 90% as large as Crawford.

The "South Block" consists of 50 claims contiguous to Canada Nickel's MacDiarmid Project 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 .
