Five Additional Infill Holes Continue to Expand Higher-Grade Core, Drilling of Additional Targets Now Underway at the Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide Project
(PresseBox) -
Highlights
- Two holes extend the dimensions of higher grade mineralization in the western portion of the Main Zone.
- Hole CR20-61 intersected true width of 94 metres of 0.35% nickel including 49 metres of 0.40% nickel
- Hole CR20-53 intersected core length of 183 metres of 0.35% nickel to a depth of over 300 metres
- Three holes continue to support and extend the higher grade mineralization in the eastern portion of the Main Zone.
- Hole CR20-60 intersected true width of 72 metres of 0.33% nickel including 49 metres of 0.36% nickel
- Hole CR20-47 intersected 0.30% nickel across entire core length of 369 metres outside existing 0.30% grade shell and Hole CR20-60 intersected two intervals with combined core length of 250 metres of 0.30% nickel
Canada Nickel Company Inc. (TSX-V:CNC) ("Canada Nickel" or the "Company" - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/canada-nickel-company-inc/ ) today announced additional encouraging results from infill drilling on the Main Zone at its Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide project.
?Excellent results continue from our infill drilling program. the initial focus of the mine plan in the Preliminary Economic Assessment currently underway and expected to be completed by year-end,? said Mark Selby, Chair and CEO of Canada Nickel.
?With the drilling necessary for the updated resource to be released later this month now complete, we will turn our attention to the other exciting exploration opportunities identified at Crawford.
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.
Main Zone Infill Results
Infill drilling on the Main Zone continued to focus on more clearly defining and upgrading the Higher-Grade Core resource, which was previously defined as part of the resource estimate and dips steeply within the ultramafic unit and having a previously reported true thickness that varies from 40 m to 160 m.
These holes were drilled at steep angles of -80 degrees almost entirely within the higher-grade core to better determine grade or -50 degrees to help better define northern or southern boundaries of the higher grade core.
*Hole CR20-61 has only received complete assays to a depth of 276 metres of total drill length of 504 metres.
Next Steps
Three holes have now been completed on the previously reported excellent PGM results from hole CR20-32 (three intervals including 2.6 g/t PGM over core length of 7.5 metres) and have intersected multiple sections of similar gabbro/peridotite/pyroxenite sequences encountered in the CR20-32 discovery hole.ed into an updated resource now expected later this month.
Private Placement Update
The Company is also pleased to provide an update to its August 11, 2020 news release, in which it announced a best efforts offering (the ?Offering?) of up to 600,000 flow-through common shares (?FT Shares?) at a price of $2.60 per FT Share, for total gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million. The Offering is now oversubscribed and as a result will now consist of 682,500 FT Shares to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately C$1.8 million.

Assays, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and Drilling and Assay Procedures
William E. MacRae, MSc, P.Geo., a "qualified person" as defined by NI 43-101, is responsible for the on-going drilling and sampling program, including quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC). The core is collected from the drill in sealed core trays and transported to the core logging facility. The core is marked and sampled at 1.5 metre lengths and cut with a diamond blade saw. Samples are bagged with QA/QC samples inserted in batches of 35 samples per lot. Samples are transported in secure bags directly from the Canada Nickel core shack to Actlabs Timmins, an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab. Analysis for precious metals (gold, platinum and palladium) are completed by Fire Assay while analysis for nickel, cobalt, sulphur and 17 other elements are performed using
aperoxide fusion and ICP-OES analysis. Certified standards and blanks are inserted at a rate of one QA/QC sample per 32 core samples making a batch of 35 samples that are submitted for analysis.
Qualified Person and Data Verification
