Victory Nickel Board Approves Proceeding with Phase Two of Frac Sand Business Plan

12.11.2014  |  Marketwired

Phase One now complete, Phase Two designed to enhance quality and reduce costs

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov 12, 2014) - Victory Nickel Inc. ("Victory Nickel" or the "Company") (TSX:NI) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved moving forward to Phase Two of the Company's three-phased business plan to become a significant frac sand supplier in Canada and the northern United States.

"Our Seven Persons plant in southern Alberta (the "7P Plant") is now operating 24/7, sales are strong and we are comfortable that we are now a preferred supplier of high-quality Northern White Wisconsin frac sand," said Ken Murdock, CEO of Victory Silica Ltd. "The Board of Directors has recognized this by providing management with a mandate to advance the business through the next phase which will ensure security of supply of Wisconsin frac sand and allow the Company to more effectively control quality while reducing costs."

Phase Two includes the construction by Victory Nickel of a moveable 1,000,000 ton per year ("tpy") frac sand wash plant directly on a sand deposit in Wisconsin at a cost of approximately US$5 million. The Phase Two Wisconsin wash plant will be capable of supplying washed, concentrated sand to both the existing 7P Plant and to the 1,000,000 tpy dry frac sand processing plant that is currently being planned for construction in Manitoba as part of Phase Three. Phase Three will increase Victory Nickel's total finished frac sand production capacity to 1,500,000 tpy. The target is to have the Phase Two plant operational in the second quarter of 2015.

About Victory Silica Ltd.

Victory Silica Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Victory Nickel and is charged with a phased plan to establish the Company in the frac sand market. In Phase One, the Company constructed a 500,000 tpy dry processing plant and is processing and selling sand imported from Wisconsin. The 7P Plant is well located in an area populated with fracking companies, its potential customers, and is within only a few hours' trucking distance of major oil or gas play well sites. Phase Two, which includes the construction of a wash plant in Wisconsin, is expected to reduce costs, ensure security of sand supply through the control of a frac sand mine in Wisconsin and enhance quality control. In Phase Three, the Company intends to construct a larger frac sand plant to process and distribute both imported and domestic sand, which may potentially, but not necessarily, include sand mined as a co-product of development at the Company's Minago project.
