Nickel One Resources Inc. Announces Initial Drill Results from the Tyko Project, including 1.04% Nickel over 16.19m

Nickel One’s President and CEO, Vance Loeber commented that: “Assays from the initial four holes from the recent drilling program on the RJ Zone at the Tyko Property, showcase considerable potential for the Project. A new magma conduit model, developed by Fladgate Exploration Consulting, was tested at RJ. Initial results support this model which potentially links the RJ and Tyko Zones (separated by 1.5km) as part of pipe-like feeder system (Figures 1 and 2).”

The RJ Zone consists primarily of metamorphosed mineralized pyroxenite which has been intruded by later granitoid rocks. The mineralized pyroxenite contains abundant rip-up clasts of other mafic-ultramafic phases and clastic sediments indicative of an active feeder-type system. The mineralization is nickel-rich with an average Ni:Cu ratio of ~2:1 and a Pt:Pd ratio of ~1:1. Sulphides are typically disseminated to blebby with local patches of net-textured and semi-massive sulphide breccia.

The sulphide tenors of the Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization on the Tyko Property are very high. Limited  analysis by previous workers indicate tenors in 100% sulphide that average 13.0% Ni, 8.8% Cu, 6.6g/t PGE (Pt+Pd) at the RJ Zone and 12.9% Ni, 14.5% Cu, and 13.6g/t PGE at the Tyko Zone. Additional analysis are currently underway to better define the sulphide tenors of the various magmatic phases.

The high tenor of the sulphide suggests a high value flotation concentrate from RJ or Tyko style mineralization. This indicates that even a disseminated sulphide deposit could potentially be economic and adds further support to the view that Nickel One’s 100% owned Tyko Project contains a fertile magmatic feeder system. The Company’s objective is to delineated this feeder system and ultimately develop a mineral resource on the Property.

The current updates include interim results from an initial 580 metres of drilling in 4 holes out of a total of 1780  metres in 14 holes on the 2016 drilling program that targeted the the RJ and Tyko zones (Figure 2). A third target, termed the “Bruce Lake Anomaly”, was also tested with results pending.

QA/QC

The Nickel One drilling program was carried out under the supervision of Neil Pettigrew, M.Sc., P.Geo., VP, Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corporation and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, who reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release.

Samples were transported in secure bags directly from the Nickel One core handling facility in White River, Ontario, to the Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Accurassay, which is an accredited ISO/IEC 17025 lab, analysed the samples for PGEs using a 30 grams fire assay with an ICP-OES finish and for Ni, Cu, and Co using 0.25 grams by 4 acid digestion with ICP-OES finish. Ni, Cu and Co samples over 0.5 wt% were re-analysed using 2.5 grams by 4 acid digestion with ICP-OES finish.

Certified standards, blanks and crushed duplicates are placed in the sample stream at a rate of one QA/QC sample per 20 core samples.  Results are analyzed for acceptance at the time of import. All standards associated with the results in this press release were determined to be acceptable within the defined limits of the standard used.

About Nickel One: Nickel One Resources Inc. is a new base metal (copper, nickel) and precious metal (platinum, palladium) exploration and development company evaluating the Tyko Property near Marathon, Ontario, Canada. Nickel One’s objective is to efficiently advance the Tyko Project through exploration and development to a mineral resource. The Company intends to build shareholder value through accretive acquisition of additional promising assets.
