Canada Nickel announce infill drilling results

Canada Nickel Company Inc. has recently announced additional encouraging results from infill drilling on the Main Zone at its Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulfide project.

“Excellent results continue from our infill drilling programme. These most recent drilling results continue to expand the widths and vertical extent of the higher-grade mineralization in the western end of the Main Zone and further confirm and extend the higher-grade mineralisation in the eastern end of the Main Zone. These higher-grade resource areas will be 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. Three follow-up holes on the previously reported encouraging PGM results from hole CR20-32 (which yielded three separate intersections including 2.6 g/t PGM over 7.5 m) have been completed and intersected the anticipated structures. Drilling began this week of the several other prospective geophysical nickel targets on the several kilometres of the Crawford structure which remain untested. Exploration results from these holes are expected before the end of September.”
