Canada Nickel Company Announces Discovery of New Palladium-Platinum Zone at Crawford and First Intersection of Nickel Grading More than 1%, Provides Update on Transaction with Noble Mineral Exploration
(PresseBox) - .
Separate PGM Zone with grades up to 1.7 g/t of palladium + platinum over 7.5 metres delineated from near surface to a depth of 500+ metres across a strike length of 600 metres ? remains open to the west and at depth
Westernmost hole to date CR19-25 (130 metres west of existing resource), collared within higher grade zone, showed continuity of higher-grade zone with 0.34 % nickel across 44 metres
Easternmost hole CR19-27 yielded first drill intersection in excess of 1% nickel - yielding 1.07% nickel and 2.0 g/t palladium + platinum across 1.5 metres outside existing nickel resource indicating potential for higher grade nickel along fault on eastern boundary
TORONTO, April 6, 2020 - Canada Nickel Company Inc. (TSX-V:CNC) ("Canada Nickel" or the "Company" - https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/canada-nickel-company-recently-ipo-with-huge-nickel-resource-in-canada/ ) today announced the discovery of a new palladium-platinum zone, and the first intersection of nickel grading in excess of 1%, from drilling conducted at its 100% owned Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide Project (?Crawford?) near Timmins, Ontario.
Mark Selby, Chair and CEO of Canada Nickel commented ?With palladium prices in excess of C$3,000 per ounce and few new palladium discoveries globally, the discovery of this new near-surface multi-gram palladium-platinum zone sitting parallel to Crawford?s existing nickel-cobalt-palladium resource further underscores Crawford?s significant potential and provides additional optionality to unlock value for shareholders.
The Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide Project is located in the heart of the prolific Timmins-Cochrane mining camp in Ontario, Canada, and is adjacent to well-established, major infrastructure associated with over 100 years of regional mining activity. Based on metrics utilized by Wood Mackenzie, the Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide Project already ranks within the top 12 largest nickel sulphide resources globally (see news release February 28, 2020).
PGM Zone
The PGM Zone sits at the north contact between the peridotite and pyroxenite layer which extends across the full length of the Crawford structure (delineated to a length of 1.7 kilometres) and sits immediately to the north and parallel to the maiden nickel-cobalt-palladium resource at Crawford announced on February 28, 2020.
Five holes intersected this zone beginning at the bedrock contact to a depth of 500 metres across a strike length of 600 metres.
Additional Drilling Results
The results from the final 3 holes of the initial campaign continue to extend the nickel-cobalt-palladium mineralization within the Main Anomaly at Crawford. See Figure 2 for plan view of recent drilling and Table 2 for a summary of drilling results.
Note: The intersections are referenced to depth downhole and do not necessarily represent a true width. Canada Nickel has insufficient information to determine the attitude, either of the ultramafic body or of mineralized zones within it. True widths will be less than the core lengths by a number of factors, but are estimated to be 65% of the length of the mineral intersections.
Transaction Update
The Company is also pleased to provide an update to its March 4, 2020 news release, in which it announced the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement with Noble Mineral Exploration"Noble") to acquire additional property and enter into option agreements on five other properties near its Crawford Project (the "Proposed Transactions"). For a full summary of the Proposed Transactions, please see Canada Nickel''s news release from March 4, 2020.
The Proposed Transactions are subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") approval and ordinary approval of shareholders of Noble at Noble''s upcoming annual general and special meeting of the shareholders on May 5, 2020 (the "Noble Meeting").
