艾伯塔省卡爾加里--（Newsfile Corp.-2024 年 5 月 28 日）- Fathom Nickel Inc. （CSE：FNI）（FSE：6Q5）（OTCQB：FNICF）（公司“或”Fathom“）很高興地宣佈該公司戈查格爾湖項目24季度/第二季度七個鑽孔、2656米的鑽探計劃的結果。

Gochager Lake Deposit 2023-2024 Overview

2023-2024 年 Gochager Lake 礦牀概述

Fathom commenced drilling the historic Gochager Lake deposit in February of 2023. To date, 16 drillholes totaling 5,543 meters have been completed. The Company has now defined a mineralized gabbro unit containing interstitial disseminated magmatic pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite, over a northeast-southwest strike of approximately 300 meters and a vertical extent exceeding 400 meters and remains open in all directions (see Figures 1-3 & 4). This unit is crosscut by semi-massive to massive sulphide veins and stringers that tend to be aligned within vertical oriented chutes. The sulphide mineralogy of the massive and disseminated sulphides is similar, with both styles of mineralization having similar sulphide Ni tenor of 3-4% and similar sulphide chemistry.

Fathom 於 2023 年 2 月開始鑽探歷史悠久的 Gochager Lake 礦牀。迄今爲止，已經完成了總長達5,543米的16個鑽孔。該公司現已在東北-西南地區定義了一個礦化輝長岩單元，該單元含有間質浸染的岩漿硫黃鐵礦、戊蘭巖和黃銅礦 大約 300 米的攻擊 還有一個 垂直範圍超過 400 米 並且在所有方向上都保持打開狀態（參見圖 1-3 和 4）。該單元由半質量到塊狀硫化物礦脈和縱梁橫切，這些礦脈和縱梁往往在垂直定向的滑槽內對齊。塊狀硫化物和浸染硫化物的硫化物礦物學相似，兩種礦化方式的硫化物鎳含量相似，爲 3-4%，硫化物化學性質相似。

The Company believes the disseminated and massive sulphides are related to a common source and may have been injected as a separate pulse from a larger, yet undiscovered magma chamber. These sulphide-rich zones coincide consistently with downhole BHEM conductors occurring within the mineralized gabbro unit. Continued success and confidence utilizing the BHEM tool and drilling sulphide-rich, conductive zones will continue to increase tonnes and the historic grade of the Gochager Lake deposit but importantly guide drilling to the source of the semi-massive to massive nickel sulphide mineralization. Fathom believes the existence of semi-massive to massive, high-grade sulphide veins of up to 3.25% Ni (as was drilled in hole GL23008) are positive indications that our exploration efforts are getting closer to identifying the late phase source. Refer to Tables 1 & 2 for complete Q1/Q2-24 Assay Results and Drillhole Locations.

該公司認爲，浸染的塊狀硫化物與共同的來源有關，可能是作爲單獨的脈衝從一個更大但尚未被發現的岩漿室注入的。這些富含硫化物的區域始終與礦化輝長岩單元內存在的井下 BHEM 導體重合。利用BHEM工具和鑽探富含硫化物的導電帶的持續成功和信心將繼續增加噸位和Gochager Lake礦牀的歷史品位，但重要的是指導鑽探半塊狀至塊狀硫化物礦化的來源。Fathom 認爲，鎳含量高達 3.25% 的半塊狀到塊狀的高品位硫化物礦脈的存在（如在 GL23008 孔中鑽探的那樣），這是積極的跡象，表明我們的勘探工作已接近於確定晚期來源。有關第 1/Q2-24 季度完整的化驗結果和鑽孔位置，請參閱表 1 和 2。

Ian Fraser, CEO and VP Exploration stated, "We have now gained a much better understanding of the potential of the Gochager Lake deposit. We now recognize the emplacement of the Gochager Lake intrusion as a multi-phased, complex, chaotic, and open magmatic process; descriptors of many of the world's operating magmatic nickel sulphide mining camps. The >1% nickel mineralization we have intersected at depths exceeding 400 meters below surface is wide open for expansion and the deposit is wide open for expansion in all directions. The nickel mineralization intersected in GL24016 resulted from the testing of a BHEM anomaly below GL23005 drilled in 2023. While GL23005 did not itself contain significant high-grade nickel mineralization, we now know that large areas of consistent, disseminated interstitial mineralization have the potential to contain high-grade mineralized intercepts like we generated in GL24016 during this campaign. Areas with consistent disseminated interstitial mineralization combined with BHEM anomalies are a good recipe for discovery and we have several more of these targets to drill test.

首席執行官兼勘探副總裁伊恩·弗雷澤表示， “現在，我們對戈查格爾湖礦牀的潛力有了更好的了解。我們現在認識到，戈查格爾湖入侵的入侵是一個多階段、複雜、混亂和開放的岩漿過程；它描述了世界上許多正在運行的岩漿硫化鎳採礦營地。我們在地表以下 400 米以上的深度相交的超過 1% 的鎳礦化層爲膨脹敞開大門，礦牀敞開大門，可以向各個方向擴張。GL24016 中相交的鎳礦化是在 2023 年鑽探的 GL23005 下方 BHEM 異常的測試結果。儘管 GL23005 本身並不含有大量的高品位鎳礦化，但我們現在知道，大片持續的浸染間質礦化區域有可能含有高品位的礦化截留物，就像我們在本次活動中在 GL24016 中產生的那樣。具有持續彌散間質礦化和 BHEM 異常的區域是很好的發現秘訣，我們還有幾個這樣的目標需要鑽探測試。

When we acquired the Gochager Lake project in September 2022, we hypothesized that high-grade, nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization was confined to steeply oriented chutes and thus, the historic vertical drilling quite simply missed this steep geometry and the high-grade nickel mineralization contained within the deposit. Our decision to approach drilling utilizing variable inclined drillholes but each with a consistent azimuth has allowed us to better define the semi-massive to massive sulphide zones and to better understand the controls and geology of the deposit.

當我們在2022年9月收購Gochager Lake項目時，我們假設高品位的鎳銅鈷礦化作用僅限於取向陡峭的滑槽，因此，歷史性的垂直鑽探完全錯過了這種陡峭的幾何形狀和礦牀中包含的高品位鎳礦化。我們決定使用可變傾角的鑽孔進行鑽探，但每個鑽孔都有一致的方位角，這使我們能夠更好地定義半塊狀到塊狀硫化物區域，並更好地了解礦牀的控制和地質情況。

As stated earlier, the Gochager Lake deposit is complex, and complexity is good. It is also now apparent that the semi-massive to massive vein-like, nickel sulphide mineralization is coming from yet another phase of this complex intrusive. This later phase, the source of the high-grade mineralization, is out there to be discovered. The semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralization we are recognizing at depth and the associated conductivity we recognize beyond our drillholes is suggesting we are getting closer. In just over 5,000 meters of drilling we are beginning to unlock the true potential at Gochager Lake, a testament to our exploration approach and to the efforts of our exploration team".

如前所述，戈查格爾湖礦牀很複雜，複雜性也很好。現在還很明顯，半塊狀至塊狀礦脈狀硫化物礦化來自這種複雜侵入性的又一個階段。後期階段，即高品位礦化的來源，尚待發現。我們在深度識別出的半塊狀至塊狀硫化物礦化，以及我們在鑽孔之外識別的相關電導率，這表明我們越來越接近了。在剛剛超過5,000米的鑽探中，我們開始釋放Gochager Lake的真正潛力，這證明了我們的勘探方法和勘探團隊的努力”。

  • Drillhole traces projected to surface.
  • A shallow dipping fault has been mapped across the area of Fathom drilling.
  • Zones of mineralized gabbro have been defined in the hanging wall (HW) and footwall (FW) of the fault. At present we interpret an offset to the south along this fault, opening up an area for expansion not previously recognized.
  • Zones of mineralized gabbro are defined using a 0.1% Ni cut-off. Broad zones of mineralized gabbro >0.1% Ni are well defined in the hanging wall and footwall locally with true widths up to 75m. An example of very broad, consistent >0.1% Ni mineralization:
    • GL24016; 185.49m @ 0.31% Ni, 0.09% Cu, 0.03% Co from 101.7m downhole.
  • Not illustrated on Figure 1, drillhole GL23011 collared ~400m to the northeast intersected magmatic nickel sulphides in a gabbro host and BHEM anomalies were detected off-hole. This widens the field of further targets and discoveries.
  • 鑽孔痕跡投射到地表。
  • 已經繪製了橫跨Fathom鑽探區域的淺層傾斜斷層圖。
  • 斷層的懸壁（HW）和底壁（FW）中已經定義了礦化輝長岩的區域。目前，我們解釋了沿着該斷層向南的偏移量，從而開闢了一個以前未被發現的擴張區域。
  • 礦化輝長岩區域使用 0.1% 的鎳臨界值來定義。局部懸掛牆和腳牆中清晰地定義了鎳含量大於 0.1% 的礦化輝長岩的寬帶，實際寬度可達 75 米。一個非常廣泛、一致性大於 0.1% 的鎳礦化的例子：
    • GL24016；18549m @ 0.31% 鎳，0.09% 銅，0.03% Co，來自井下 1.0170 米。
  • 如圖 1 所示，位於東北約 400 米處的 GL23011 鑽孔與輝長岩宿主中的岩漿硫化鎳相交，在井外發現了 BHEM 異常。這拓寬了更多目標和發現的領域。

圖-2 從 2023-2024 年鑽探得出的複合長截面

  • The grey rectangles are defining areas of BHEM conductivity, the extent of conductivity remains undefined and thus open.
  • The high-grade nickel sulphides intersected in GL23009, GL24012, GL24013 coincide with BHEM conductors (grey rectangles), and this mineralization remains open up plunge, down plunge, to depth, to the south, and along strike illustrating the potential for extension of existing mineralized zones and new discoveries.
  • For Example:
    • Strong off-hole BHEM conductors were detected in GL24014 @ ~170m and ~240m downhole.
    • Strong, broad off-hole BHEM conductors detected in GL24017 @ ~165m and ~205m downhole.
  • In addition to the expansion potential discussed above, BHEM and mineralized gabbro occurring within GL24014, GL24017 and GL24018 confirm that the Gochager Lake deposit remains open for expansion to SW and NE. Strong BHEM conductors suggest the presence of semi-massive to massive nickel bearing sulphides.
  • Strong BHEM conductivity measured in front of holes GL23009, GL24012, GL24013 and GL24015 @ ~140m downhole, suggestive of hanging wall mineralization, has not been drill tested.
  • Many of the 2023-2024 drillholes exhibit building conductivity to end of the drillhole, indicative of a mineralized source extending beyond end of the drillholes.
  • As on Figure 1 and not illustrated on Figure 2, drillhole GL23011 collared ~400m to the northeast intersected magmatic nickel sulphides in a gabbro host and BHEM anomalies were detected off-hole.
  • 灰色矩形定義了 BHEM 電導率的區域，電導率的範圍仍未確定，因此是開放的。
  • 在 GL23009、GL24012、GL24013 中相交的高品位硫化鎳與 BHEM 導體（灰色矩形）重合，這種礦化仍然是開放式的，向下跌的，向深的，向南的，沿着走向的，這表明了擴大現有礦化帶和新發現的潛力。
  • 例如：
    • 在 GL24014 @ ~170m 和大約 240m 井下探測到強勁的井外 BHEM 導體。
    • 在 GL24017 @ ~165m 井下和 ~205m 井下探測到堅固、寬的井外 BHEM 導體。
  • 除了上面討論的擴張潛力外，GL24014、GL24017 和 GL24018 中存在的BHEM和礦化輝長岩證實，Gochager Lake礦牀仍對向西南和東北擴張開放。強大的 BHEM 導體表明存在半質量到塊狀的含鎳硫化物。
  • 在 GL23009、GL24012、GL24013 和 GL24015 井下約 140 米的孔前測得的強大的 BHEM 電導率，這表明存在懸壁礦化，但尚未經過鑽探測試。
  • 許多2023-2024年的鑽孔都表現出建築物的導電性一直延伸到鑽孔盡頭，這表明礦化源頭延伸到鑽孔盡頭以外。
  • 如圖 1 所示（未如圖 2 所示），位於東北約 400 米處的 GL23011 鑽孔與輝長岩宿主中的岩漿硫化鎳相交，在井外發現了 BHEM 異常。

This slightly oblique view of the Gochager Lake deposit illustrates, in some respects, the chronology and understanding of the deposit based on drilling to date. The key takeaways are the zones of >0.5% Ni, containing >1.0% Ni mineralization resulted from drilling BHEM targets derived from both historic drilling and Fathom drillholes. BHEM conductivity on the margins of Fathom drilling (GL24014, GL24017 & GL24018) is very compelling evidence that this deposit is very open along strike and it is also very evident the deposit is very open for expansion to depth.

Gochager Lake礦牀的這種略微傾斜的視圖在某些方面說明了迄今爲止對該礦牀的時間順序和理解。 關鍵要點是鎳含量大於 0.5% 的區域，其中鎳礦化含量大於 1.0%，這些區域是從歷史鑽探和 Fathom 鑽孔中獲得的 BHEM 鑽探目標產生的。Fathom鑽探（GL24014、GL24017 和 GL24018）邊緣的BHEM電導率是非常有說服力的證據，表明該礦牀在走向前非常開放，而且很明顯，該礦牀對向深度擴張非常開放。

Fathom is very pleased with results of its methodical approach to, first defining the geometry and style of mineralization(s) occurring at the Gochager Lake deposit, and then discovering high-grade mineralization at depth and beyond the boundary of the historic deposit. The Company intends to continue to build on both the mineral grade and tonnage of the historic deposit but remains focused on defining the source of the high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization.

Fathom對其方法的結果感到非常滿意，該方法首先定義了Gochager Lake礦牀上發生的礦化的幾何形狀和風格，然後在歷史礦牀的深度和邊界之外發現了高品位的礦化。該公司打算繼續在歷史礦牀的礦物等級和噸位基礎上再接再厲，但仍專注於確定高品位鎳銅鈷礦化的來源。

Field exploration consisting of soil geochemistry, mapping and prospecting and a detailed drone MAG survey over high-priority targets defined by our interpretation of a 2008 VTEM survey is scheduled to commence during the week of June 10. Our understanding of the complex textures associated with the Gochager Lake gabbro provides an important guide for our field crews to define prospective geology within, and outside of the deposit area. Crews will follow-up on TDEM geophysical conductors Fathom has defined in the deposit area, and follow-up on Gochager-like 2008 VTEM targets derived from the historic airborne survey. From the analysis of the historical 2008 VTEM survey, we recognize a plethora of untested EM and Magnetic anomalies to follow-up on.

包括土壤地球化學、測繪和勘探在內的實地勘探定於6月10日當週開始，對我們對2008年VTEM調查的解釋中確定的高優先目標進行詳細的無人機MAG調查。我們對與戈查格爾湖輝長岩相關的複雜紋理的了解爲我們的現場工作人員定義礦牀區域內外的潛在地質提供了重要指導。機組人員將跟蹤Fathom在沉積區定義的TDEM地球物理導體，並跟蹤歷史性空中調查得出的類似Gochager的2008年VTEM目標。通過對 2008 年 VTEM 歷史調查的分析，我們發現了大量未經測試的電磁和磁異常需要跟進。

Drill Update Webinar: Again, investors are invited to attend Fathom Nickel's drill results live webinar taking place at 10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST today, Tuesday May 28, 2024.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Disclosure Statement


質量保證/質量控制 (QA/QC) 披露聲明

Fathom implements an industry-standard QA/QC for all field and diamond drill programs. Fathom, through the services of TerraLogic Exploration Inc., inserts QA/QC samples in its diamond drill programs at a rate of one sample per approximately every 12-13 samples collected. Standards sourced from OREAS (OREAS-86, OREAS-72B and OREAS-74B) were inserted into the sample stream at a rate of 1 in 30 samples. Additionally, lab duplicates (coarse rejects) were inserted and positioned in the sample sequence at a rate of 1 in 30 samples and positioned in the sample sequence alternating with standards to result in a QA/QC insertion rate of no less than 1 in 15 samples. Blanks were inserted at the start of every sample batch and additionally after samples of anticipated high-grade or high sulphide content.

Fathom 對所有現場和金剛石鑽探項目均採用行業標準的質量保證/質量控制。Fathom通過TerraLogic Exploration Inc. 的服務，將質量保證/質量控制樣本納入其金剛石鑽探計劃，大約每收集12-13個樣本中就有一個樣本。來自OREAS的標準（OREAS-86、OREAS-72B 和 OREAS-74B）以每30個樣本中就有1個的速度被插入到樣本流中。此外，以每 30 個樣本中有 1 個的速率將實驗室副本（粗略剔除物）插入樣本序列並放置在樣本序列中，並與標準品交替放置，從而使 QA/QC 插入率不低於 15 個樣本中的 1 個。在每批樣品的開頭插入空白，並在預期的高品位或高硫化物含量的樣品之後插入空白。

Assaying is performed at ALS Canada Ltd. ("ALS"). ALS is an accredited laboratory (SCC - CAN-P-1579 and CAN-P-4E ISO/IEC 17025) and is independent of Fathom. All drill core samples are analyzed using a 4-Acid digestion followed by 33 element ICP-AES analyses (Code ME-ICP61). Over limit Ni, Cu results are further analyzed by 4-Acid ore grade elements ICP-AES process (Code ME-OG62). Analyses for Au, Pd and Pt utilized the ore grade Pt, Pd and Au by ICP-AES (Code PGM-ICP27). Total sulphur by (S-IR08) is used to determine overlimit S (>10%) as determined by the ICP analysis.

化驗在 ALS 加拿大有限公司（“ALS”）進行。ALS 是一個經過認證的實驗室（SCC-CAN-P-1579 和 CAN-P-4E ISO/IEC 17025），獨立於 Fathom。所有鑽芯樣品均使用 4 酸消解法進行分析，然後進行 33 種元素的 ICP-AES 分析（代碼 ME-ICP61）。通過四酸礦石級元素 ICP-AES 工藝（代碼 ME-OG62）進一步分析了鎳銅含量超過極限的結果。對金、鈀和鉑的分析使用了ICP-AES（代碼 PGM-ICP27）的礦石等級的鉑、鈀和金。總硫含量（S-IR08）用於確定ICP分析確定的超限硫含量（> 10%）。

About Fathom Nickel Inc.

關於 Fathom Nickel Inc.

Fathom is an exploration company that is targeting magmatic nickel sulphide discoveries to support the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market.

Fathom 是一家勘探公司，其目標是發現岩漿硫化鎳，以支持快速增長的全球電動汽車市場。

The Company now has a portfolio of two high-quality exploration projects located in the prolific Trans Hudson Corridor in Saskatchewan: 1) the Albert Lake Project, a 90,000+ hectare project that was host to the historic and past producing Rottenstone deposit (produced high-grade Ni-Cu+PGE, 1965-1969), and 2) the 22,000+ hectare Gochager Lake Project that is host to a historic, NI43-101 non-compliant open pit resource consisting of 4.3M tons at 0.295% Ni and 0.081% Cu2

該公司現在擁有位於薩斯喀徹溫省多產的跨哈德遜走廊的兩個高質量勘探項目的投資組合：1) 阿爾伯特湖項目，一個佔地 90,000 多公頃的項目，曾是歷史上和過去生產的羅滕斯通礦牀（1965-1969 年生產了高品質 Ni-Cu+PGE）的所在地，2) 佔地 22,000 多公頃 Gochager Lake 項目 這裏擁有歷史性的、不符合 NI43-101 標準的露天礦資源，包括 430 萬噸，鎳含量爲 0.295%，銅含量爲 0.081%2

2 - The Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMID#0880) reports drill indicated reserves at the historic Gochager Lake Deposit of 4,262,400 tons grading 0.295% Ni and 0.081% Cu mineable by open pit. Fathom cannot confirm the resource estimate, nor the parameters and methods used to prepare the reserve estimate. The estimate is not considered NI43-101 compliant and further work is required to verify this historical drill indicated reserve.
