Power Nickel (PNPN, PNPNF) announced significant drilling results from its Lion Zone discovery, highlighting the largest intersection to date of 39.6 metres with 4.19% CuEq. Hole PN-24-071 returned impressive grades including 0.38 g/t Au, 19.57 g/t Ag, 2.62% Cu, 3.37 g/t Pd, 0.80 g/t Pt, and 0.13% Ni. The company is currently executing a 30,000 metre fully funded fall and winter program. Drilling was temporarily paused for local indigenous hunting season and has now resumed with two drills on site targeting Lion Zone expansions.

Power Nickel (PNPN, PNPNF) ha annunciato risultati di perforazione significativi dalla scoperta della sua Lion Zone, mettendo in evidenza l'intersezione più grande fino ad oggi di 39.6 metri con 4.19% CuEq. Il foro PN-24-071 ha riportato gradi impressionanti tra cui 0.38 g/t Au, 19.57 g/t Ag, 2.62% Cu, 3.37 g/t Pd, 0.80 g/t Pt e 0.13% Ni. L'azienda sta attualmente eseguendo un programma autunnale e invernale completamente finanziato di 30.000 metri. La perforazione è stata temporaneamente sospesa a causa della stagione di caccia locale per gli indigeni, ma è ora ripresa con due trivelle in sito e obiettivo di espandere la Lion Zone.

TORONTO, Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Power Nickel Inc. (the "Company" or "Power Nickel") (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV) is pleased to announce the third set of assay results obtained for two more holes of the summer 2024 drilling campaign at its polymetallic Lion Zone discovery.

"Today we announced the biggest intersection we have to date with 39.6 metres of 4.19% CuEq. This is incredibly rich in metal contained. We are expecting to deliver more of these types of holes as we finish off the last of our summer drill program. The Lion Zone is showing impressive grades and overall thickness and doing this consistently. We are building significant tonnage for our resource model.  Shortly we will start delivering the results of the fall program where we are more than one week into our 30,000 metre fully funded fall and winter program. Its an exciting time to be a Power Nickel shareholder as together we are discovering just how big the Lion Zone can be and how important a discovery Nisk could become," commented Terry Lynch, CEO of Power Nickel.

Highlights:  

PN-24-071 returned:

39.6 m of 0.38 g/t Au, 19.57 g/t Ag, 2.62 % Cu, 3.37 g/t Pd, 0.80 g/t Pt and 0.13% Ni

Table 1 below presents the significant results of previously released holes, and the current assays. The complete set of results obtained demonstrates a tremendous success rate, which contributes to a continuously increasing level of confidence about the continuity of the zone.

Drilling was paused for one month to allow for the local indigenous hunting season and has now restarted. Two drills are on site and targeting expansions to the Lion Zone. Samples will be expedited to the lab and results will be released as they are received.

"These new results are what we are looking for! We strongly believe that we've gathered around the table the right expertise and brought the right tools to be continuing in such a successful way. Not only is the semi-massive sulphides zone continuing to deliver in terms of grade, this time around it's also delivering in thickness. With such volume of semi-massive to massive conductive sulphides, there is no doubt that the downhole EM surveys will help us out big time. We hope the EM response will be crystal clear, which should allow us to loosen up the grid from 50m spacing to something like 150-200m spacing and grow in a much quicker way the overall footprint the zone, while maintaining a very good confidence level in terms of continuity of the zone. That, coupled with our 3D modeling efforts, should provide the framework we need to then take advantage of our ongoing geochemical and geophysical analysis of the system; and with Steve Beresford onboard to guide us, I think we have a good recipe for success here!" commented Ken Williamson, Vice-President Exploration.

QAQC and Sampling

GeoVector Management Inc ("GeoVector") is the Consulting company retained to perform the actual drilling program, which includes core logging and sampling of the drill core.

All samples were submitted to and analyzed at Activation Laboratories Ltd ("Actlabs"), an independent commercial laboratory for both the sample preparation and assaying. Actlabs is a commercial laboratory independent of Power Nickel with no interest in the Project. Actlabs is an ISO 9001 and 17025 certified and accredited laboratories. Samples submitted through Actlabs are run through standard preparation methods and analysed using RX-1 (Dry, crush (< 7 kg) up to 80% passing 2 mm, riffle split (250 g) and pulverize (mild steel) to 95% passing 105 μm) preparation methods, and using 1F2 (ICP-OES) and 1C-OES - 4-Acid near total digestion + Gold-Platinum-Palladium analysis and 8-Peroxide ICP-OES, for regular and over detection limit analysis. Pegmatite samples are analyzed using UT7 - Li up to 5%, Rb up to 2% method. Actlabs also undertake their own internal coarse and pulp duplicate analysis to ensure proper sample preparation and equipment calibration.

GeoVector's QAQC program includes regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks into the sample stream with a stringent review of all results.

The results presented in the current Press Released are complete within the mineralized intervals, but results are still pending for the top portion of both holes reported. QAQC and data validation was performed on these portions of the holes where assays are fully integrated, and no material error were observed.
