SPC Nickel Reports High-Grade Channel Sampling Results at the West Graham Project, Including 0.94% Ni and 0.44% Cu over 17.0 metres

29.05.2024  |  CNW

SUDBURY, May 29, 2024 - SPC Nickel Corp. (TSXV: SPC) ("SPC Nickel" or the "Company"), is pleased to report high-grade channel sampling results from a recent trenching program conducted on the Company's West Graham Project located in the world-class Nickel-Copper mining district of Sudbury, Ontario. The channel sampling program was completed on two separate surface exposures of the large West Graham Ni-Cu Deposit (Figure 1), where the Company recently announced a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) (refer to SPC Nickel press release dated January 17, 2024).

SPC Nickel collected a total of 139 samples at 1.0 metre intervals within 8 continuous channels totalling 138.5 metres in length. Trenching focused on two separate outcrop exposures of mineralized norite along the contact between the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) and the surrounding footwall granite.

In 2023, SPC Nickel completed a fence of shallow drill holes immediately down-dip of the sampled surface outcrops that all returned broad intervals of high-grade Ni-Cu sulphide mineralization. Highlights included hole WG-23-063 that intersected 59.0 metres at 0.71% Ni, 0.38% Cu from 2.0-61.0 metres (refer to SPC Nickel press release dated November 20, 2023).

Highlights
  • CH-05E: 0.94% Ni, 0.44% Cu over 17.0 metres.
  • CH-06E: 0.62% Ni, 0.31% Cu over 38.0 metres.
  • Several narrow intervals of high-grade massive sulphide were encountered including 2.87% Ni, 0.15% Cu over 1.0 metres (CH-05E).
  • The surface channel sample result correlated well in both grade and thickness to the previously reported down-dip drill intersections (Figure 2).

Grant Mourre, CEO and President of SPC Nickel commented, "We are very pleased with the excellent results from our recently completed channel sampling program. When combined with our 2023 drill results, today's news further highlights the potential on the Property for a low-strip ratio, higher-grade starter pit as part of a staged development of the West Graham Resource. The strong correlation between surface channel samples and down-dip intersections underscores the continuity and quality of the mineralization at West Graham. These findings reinforce our confidence in the project's ability to deliver significant shareholder value and future development potential. We are extremely optimistic about continued exploration at West Graham and look forward to results from the promising drill season currently underway (refer to SPC Nickel press release dated May 7, 2024)."

Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Qualified Persons

The technical elements of this news release have been approved by Mr. Grant Mourre, P.Geo. (PGO), CEO and President of SPC Nickel Corp. and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.

SPC Nickel follows rigorous sampling and analytical protocols that meet or exceed industry standards. Core samples are stored in a secured area until transport in batches to the ALS facility in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Sample batches include certified reference materials, blank, and duplicate samples that are then processed under the control of ALS. All samples were analyzed in Vancouver by ALS Chemex. Platinum, palladium, and gold values were determined together using standard lead oxide collection fire assay and ICP-AES finish. Base metal values were determined using sodium peroxide fusion and ICP-AES finish. Silver values were determined using an aqua regia digestion and an AAS finish. A Certified Reference Material (CRM) standard, blank or duplicate is inserted on every 10th sample in the following order: CRM, blank, CRM, duplicate. The cycle repeats every 40 samples, thus ensuring that 10% of samples submitted are control samples.
