Highlights:Sudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 13, 2022) - SPC Nickel Corp. (TSXV: SPC) ("SPC Nickel" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce assay results from a further 4 out of 18 diamond drill holes from the completed 2022 drill program at its 100% owned Lockerby East Project (the "Project") located in Sudbury, Ontario.
安大略省薩德伯裏--（Newsfile Corp. — 2022 年 7 月 13 日）- SPC Nickel Corp.（多倫多證券交易所股票代碼：SPC） （“SPC Nickel” 或者 “公司”），很高興地宣佈其位於安大略省薩德伯裏的Lockerby East Project（以下簡稱 “項目”）已完成的2022年鑽探計劃中另外18個金剛石鑽孔中的4個的化驗結果。
The Lockerby East Project hosts both the past producing Lockerby East Mine and the unmined, near-surface West Graham Nickel-Copper sulphide deposit that contains over 47,000 tonnes of nickel and 34,000 tonnes of copper in indicated and inferred historical resources. The Company previously announced the commencement of a 14 hole, 4,200 metre drill program designed to further evaluate and expand the extents of the higher-grade Ni-Cu zone hosted within the larger West Graham deposit (see April 27, 2022 press release). As a result of better than estimated drilling rates, an additional 990 metres in 4 holes were added to the program resulting in a total of 5,200 metres in 18 holes being completed. Results from WG-22-001, were previously released and reported 38.0 metres grading 0.75% nickel equivalent ("NiEq.") (see June 13, 2022 press release).
洛克比東部項目既有過去生產的洛克比東礦，也有未開採的近地表西格雷厄姆鎳銅硫化物礦牀，該礦牀在指示和推斷的歷史資源中含有超過47,000噸鎳和34,000噸銅。該公司此前宣佈開始運營 14 洞，4,200 米 鑽探計劃旨在進一步評估和擴大位於更大的西格雷厄姆礦牀內的更高品位鎳銅區的範圍（見2022年4月27日的新聞稿）)。由於鑽探速度高於預期，該計劃在4個洞中又增加了990米，從而在18個洞中總共完成了5,200米。WG-22-001 的結果先前已發佈並報告 38.0 米的鎳當量等級 0.75%（“nieQ.”） （參見 2022 年 6 月 13 日的新聞稿）。
New assay results from the next 4 holes are reported in Table 1.
表 1 報告了接下來的 4 個洞的新檢測結果。
Highlights:
亮點：
- Hole WG-22-003, intersected a broad zone of Ni-Cu mineralization over 76.0 metres grading 0.54% NiEq. from 82.0 to 158.0 metres, including a higher-grade zone of 0.84% NiEq. over 16.5 metres.
- Hole WG-22-002, intersected a broad zone of Ni-Cu mineralization over 42.0 metres grading 0.48% NiEq. from 79.0 to 121.0 metres, including a higher-grade zone of 0.80% NiEq. over 16.0 metres.
- Assay results from the remaining 13 holes are expected to be released over the upcoming months as the results become available.
- 洞 WG-22-003， 與寬闊的鎳銅礦化區相交 76.0 米的等級 0.54% nieQ。 從 82.0 米到 158.0 米，包括更高等級的區域 0.84% nieQ。 超過 16.5 米。
- 洞 WG-22-002， 與寬闊的鎳銅礦化區相交 42.0 米的等級 0.48% nieQ。 從 79.0 米到 121.0 米，包括更高等級的區域 0.80% nieQ。 超過 16.0 米。
- 其餘13個洞的化驗結果預計將在未來幾個月內公佈，以待結果公佈。
Grant Mourre, CEO and President of SPC Nickel commented, "We continue to be pleased with our drilling on the West Graham section of the Lockerby East Project. These new results combined with previously announced results from hole WG-22-001, further confirm the presence of multiple higher-grade zones and demonstrate the potential for West Graham to be a significant nickel asset for SPC in an already established nickel camp."
SPC Nickel首席執行官兼總裁格蘭特·穆爾評論道，“我們仍然對在洛克比東部項目的西格雷厄姆部分的鑽探感到滿意。這些新結果加上先前公佈的 WG-22-001 洞結果，進一步證實了多個更高品位區域的存在，並表明西格雷厄姆有可能在已經建立的鎳礦陣營中成爲SPC的重要鎳資產。”
The Company considers the West Graham and Lockerby East resource estimates to be historic mineral resources for purposes of NI 43-101. Neither the Company nor a qualified person on behalf of the Company have done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources and the Company is not treating such historical estimates as current mineral resources. The Company considers the historic mineral resource estimates to be relevant to an understanding of the West Graham Project but has not done any work to validate the estimates.
就NI 43-101而言，該公司認爲西格雷厄姆和洛克比東部的資源估計值是歷史礦產資源。公司和代表公司的合格人員都沒有做足夠的工作將歷史估計值歸類爲當前的礦產資源，公司也沒有將此類歷史估計值視爲當前的礦產資源。該公司認爲歷史礦產資源估算與對西格雷厄姆項目的理解有關，但尚未採取任何工作來驗證這些估計。

Lockerby East Project
東洛克比項目
The Lockerby East Project hosts both the historic West Graham and Lockerby East deposits. In 2009, First Nickel Inc. disclosed a historical resource estimate1 of 8.55Mt @ 0.45% Ni and 0.31% Cu (indicated) and 2.0Mt @ 0.38% Ni and 0.30% Cu (inferred) for the West Graham deposit. These grades have economic potential in the context of the Sudbury Mining Camp, as the deposit is located very near to surface and may be amenable to low-cost open pit mining. The deposit is characterized by a broad zone of disseminated to semi-massive sulphide that ranges from 1.7 to 66 metres thick and strikes for 375 metres with a dip extent of up to 533 metres. Within the larger resource, a distinct zone of higher-grade mineralization grading ~1% NiEq. is present. As an example, drill hole WG-26 intersected a broad zone of mineralization grading 0.73% Ni, 0.28% Cu over 71.33 metres1 (from 56.69 metres) including a higher-grade section that returned 1.09% Ni, 0.41% Cu over 39.47 metres1. At depth, the West Graham deposit is interpreted to be contiguous with the high-grade Lockerby East deposit where, historic resources of 0.22 Mt @ 2.43% Ni and 0.78% Cu2 (indicated + inferred) are hosted.
洛克比東部項目擁有歷史悠久的西格雷厄姆礦牀和洛克比東部礦牀。2009 年，First Nickel Inc. 披露了歷史資源估算1 西格雷厄姆礦牀爲855萬噸 @ 0.45% 鎳和 0.31% 銅（如圖所示），200萬噸 @ 0.38% 鎳和 0.30% 銅（推斷）。這些等級在薩德伯裏採礦營地背景下具有經濟潛力，因爲該礦牀離地表很近，可能適合低成本的露天開採。該礦牀的特點是寬闊的浸染至半塊狀硫化物區域，厚度從1.7米到66米不等，衝擊深度爲375米，傾角範圍可達533米。在較大的資源中，存在一個等級約爲 1% nieQ. 的獨特的高品位礦化區域。例如，在 71.33 米處，鑽孔 WG-26 與寬闊的礦化區域相交，品位爲 0.73% 鎳，0.28% 銅1 （從 56.69 米開始）包括更高等級的路段，在 39.47 米處返回 1.09% 的鎳，0.41% 的銅1。從深度看，西格雷厄姆礦牀被解釋爲與高品位洛克比東礦牀毗連，那裏的歷史資源爲 0.22 Mt @ 2.43% Ni 和 0.78% Cu2 （表示+推斷）是託管的。
The Company considers the West Graham and Lockerby East resource estimates to be historic mineral resources for purposes of NI 43-101. Neither the Company nor a qualified person on behalf of the Company have done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources and the Company is not treating such historical estimates as current mineral resources. The Company considers the historic mineral resource estimates to be relevant to an understanding of the West Graham Project but has not done any work to validate the estimates.
該公司認爲，就NI 43-101而言，西格雷厄姆和洛克比東部的資源估計是歷史礦產資源。公司和代表公司的合格人員都沒有做足夠的工作將歷史估算值歸類爲當前礦產資源，公司也沒有將此類歷史估算值視爲當前礦產資源。該公司認爲歷史礦產資源估算與瞭解西格雷厄姆項目有關，但尚未開展任何工作來驗證這些估計。
About the Sudbury Mining Camp3
關於薩德伯裏採礦營3
The Sudbury Mining Camp is the 2nd largest Ni camp in the world, with over 130 years of continuous production. Since the discovery of the original ore deposits, over 11.1 million metric tons of Ni and 10.8 million metric tons of Cu, together with by-products of cobalt, silver, gold and platinum group elements have been mined from the deposits. Production continues to be generated from eight major mine complex and 21 smaller ore deposits around the outer margin of the Sudbury Basin; the principal mines are owned and operated by international mining companies (Vale, Glencore, and KGHM International). The economic wealth generated at Sudbury in terms of nickel and copper value alone is close to US$500 billion.
薩德伯裏採礦營是 2和 世界上最大的鎳礦營地，連續生產已有 130 多年。自發現原始礦牀以來，已經從這些礦牀中開採了超過1110萬公噸的鎳和1,080萬公噸的銅，以及鈷、銀、金和鉑族元素的副產品。薩德伯裏盆地外緣周圍的八個主要礦山綜合體和21個較小的礦牀繼續產生產量；主要礦山由國際礦業公司（淡水河谷、嘉能可和KGHM International）擁有和運營。僅就鎳和銅價值而言，薩德伯裏創造的經濟財富就接近5000億美元。
