SPC Nickel completes resource drilling program on its West Graham Project

SUDBURY — SPC Nickel Corp., completes Phase 1 and 2 drill programs at the West Graham Nickel-Copper Project (West Graham), located in the Nickel-Copper mining district of Sudbury, Ontario.

The completion of this drill program marks a milestone in SPC Nickel’s development plans for West Graham and an important step towards the completion of a new resource estimate by the end of 2023.

Sixty-seven drill holes completed totaling 14,180 metres. Phase 1 included 5,338 metres in twenty-seven holes while Phase 2 comprised 8,842 metres in forty holes, 100 per cent of the holes encountered mineralization of which over 75 per cent of the drill holes reported mineralized intersections equal to or better than the historical West Graham indicated resource.

Over 1,600 samples from the remaining twenty-three holes have been submitted to ALS labs with results pending.

“We are excited to have successfully completed Phase 2 of our maiden drill program at West Graham,” said Grant Mourre, CEO and President of SPC Nickel. “The drill program has accomplished all of the initial goals we set out, namely to: a) confirm the extension of the historic West Graham mineral resource across the Crean Hill 3 Property currently under option from Vale Canada, b) to test the property for zones of higher-grade mineralization, that was accomplished with the intersections reported in WG-23-026 and WG-23-042 and c) to connect the known surface mineralization with the subsurface mineral resource. We’re looking forward to announcing additional drilling results and remain on track to complete a maiden Mineral Resource estimate for the Project by the end of 2023.”
