EV Nickel Announces High-Grade Nickel Intersections From Langmuir Project | INN

2021-12-30 23:50:20 By : Mr. Raymond Ye

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR TO US WIRE SERVICES

EV Nickel Inc. (TSXV:EVNI) ("EVNi" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that exploration drilling on the Langmuir Nickel Project ("Langmuir" of the "Property") from the inaugural drill program with significant intersections from within and along the eastern and western boundaries of the W4 Nickel Zone

Since June 2021, a total of 20 holes representing 4,192 metres of diamond drilling on the Langmuir Nickel Project. Assay results for 10 holes of the 2021 exploration drill program are reported in the Table 1 below. Drill hole information including the location of the collars, dip and azimuth of the holes and the final depth are provided in Table 2.

"We are very excited to start getting assay results and these begin to confirm our excitement for the potential of the Langmuir Project and the Shaw Dome more broadly," said Sean Samson, President & CEO of EVNi "This is a district which has produced nickel with the sorts of grades that get turned into mines."

"I am extremely encouraged by the mineralization observed within the W4 Zone," states Paul Davis, EVNi's Vice President of Exploration. "The unique characteristics of this deposit with a lower magnetic susceptibility and disseminated sulphides with a high nickel tenor opens up additional priority targets for exploration on the Langmuir Property. We are gearing up to start our Phase 2 drill program testing additional high priority targets along the favourable geologic trends to the east and west of W4."

The drill program was designed to test gaps within the W4 Zone historic drilling and provide EVNI with representative intersections of the W4 mineralization, test the eastern and western boundaries of the W4 Zone and explore the favourable ultramafic horizon to the east and west of the W4 mineralization.

Drilling within the W4 Zone intersected significant nickel mineralization associated with disseminated, blebby, veined and massive sulphides hosted in a serpentinized ultramafic unit including 40.2 metres grading 0.68% Ni in hole EV21-08; 17.10 metres grading 0.91% Ni in EV21-02; and 1.11 metres grading 8.66% Ni in EV21-01. These results confirm the high-grade nature of the sulphides mineralization associated with the W4 Zone. EV Nickel has implemented the analysis of sulphur for all drill core samples, allowing the Company to determine the nickel tenors, (nickel content in 100% sulphide) that have been calculated between 18% to >40% within the W4 Zone. This indicates that significant nickel mineralization is associated with low sulphide concentrations of less than 5% sulphide within the host ultramafic host. Assay results are pending for 10 holes of the Phase I drill hole program.

The type of nickel mineralization associated with the W4 Zone is not typical of the other nickel deposits hosted within the Shaw Dome, south of Timmins, Ontario. The sulphide composition of the mineralized zones is composed almost exclusively of pentlandite resulting in significant nickel grades being associated with low sulphide contents. The sulphide mineralization is also finely disseminated within the zone and has led the Company to expand the sampling in holes EV21-01 and EV21-10 to include intersections adjacent to those reported in Table 2 for which the assays are still pending. This style of mineralization also presents with a different geophysical signature than the traditional deposits and opens up additional target areas within the Langmuir Property.

Drill core samples from the 2021 drill program at the Langmuir Project are cut and bagged at the core logging facility located near the property and transported to ALS Canada Ltd for analysis. Samples, along with standards and blanks that are included for quality assurance and quality control, were prepared and analyzed at the laboratory. Samples are crushed to 70% less than 2mm. A riffle split is pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Nickel, copper, cobalt and sulphur are analyzed by sodium peroxide fusion with an ICP finish and platinum, palladium and gold by fire assay and ICP-AES finish. These and future assay results may vary from time to time due to re‒analysis for quality assurance and quality control.

EV Nickel is a Canadian nickel exploration company, focused on the Shaw Dome area, south of Timmins, Ontario. The Shaw Dome area is home to its Langmuir project which includes W4, the basis of a 2010 historical estimate of 677K tonnes @ 1% Ni, ~15M lbs of Class 1 Nickel. EV Nickel's objective is to grow and advance a nickel business, targeting the growing demand for Class 1 Nickel, from the electric vehicle battery sector. EV Nickel has almost 9,100 hectares to explore across the Shaw Dome and has identified 30km of additional favourable strike length.

Blackstone Minerals Limited (“Blackstone” or the “Company”) is pleased to present a Mineral Resource update for its 90% owned Ta Khoa Nickel Project (TKNP) in northern Vietnam (refer Figure 2). The global Ta Khoa resource estimate is comprised of the Ban Phuc and Ban Khoa DSS deposits (refer to Figure 3 and Table 1); and the Ban Chang and King Snake MSV (refer Figure 3 and Table 1).

Blackstone Minerals has conducted significant exploration and development programs since acquiring the TKNP in late 2019. Programs include extensive geochemical, geophysical, drilling, mapping, analytical testing, resource evaluations, petrographic and mineralogical analysis at the main development projects and a series of greenfield exploration prospects.

Blackstone’s TKNP and Ta Khoa Refinery (TKR) form two major cogs in Blackstone’s vertically integrated development strategy to produce Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese (NCM) 811 precursor for the growing lithium-ion battery industry. The strategy is underpinned by Blackstone’s ability to secure nickel concentrate and Ta Khoa is emerging as a nickel sulfide district of enviable scale with several exploration targets yet to be tested. The updated TKNP Mineral Resource presented in this report demonstrates a clear means of secure nickel concentrate supply.

In July 2021 the Company completed a technically and economically robust PFS for the TKR. The PFS was based on treating 400ktpa of nickel concentrate, supplied from the TKNP as well as third party concentrate. Blackstone plans to provide at least half of the TKR feed concentrate from TKNP, with mill feed sourced from Ban Phuc, Ban Chang, King Snake and potentially other targets as drilling continues.

Highlights from the TKNP Mineral Resource update include:

La Mancha Investments S.à r.l. (" La Mancha "), a Luxembourg-incorporated private investment company focused on opportunities primarily in the precious metals and battery metals mining sector, is pleased to announce that it has completed a subscription for 759,128,764 ordinary shares (the " Ordinary Shares ") of Horizonte Minerals PLC (" Horizonte ") (London-AIM: HZM; TSX: HZM). The transaction was completed by way of private placement (the " Private Placement ") at a price of 7 pence per share (approximately C$0.12 per share using the daily average rate of exchange for GBP:CAD published by the Bank of Canada on December 21, 2021, being £1.00=C$1.7131), for aggregate gross proceeds of US$71,100,000 (approximately C$91,910,970 using the daily average rate of exchange for USD:CAD published by the Bank of Canada on December 21, 2021, being US$1.00=C$1.2927).

The Private Placement was completed pursuant to the terms of an investment agreement entered into with Horizonte on November 23, 2021 (the " Investment Agreement "). The Investment Agreement provides for La Mancha's right to nominate one director to Horizonte's Board of Directors, as well as certain anti-dilution and pre-emptive rights and governance rights. The Investment Agreement also contains a lock-in and standstill in relation to the Ordinary Shares whereby La Mancha has agreed (subject to certain customary exceptions) not to (i) dispose of any of its Ordinary Shares for a period of 4 months from the date of the Private Placement; and (ii) acquire any interests in Ordinary Shares, for a period of 18 months following the date of the Investment Agreement, which would cause La Mancha's ownership interest in Horizonte to exceed 25% (on an undiluted basis).

In connection with the Investment Agreement, La Mancha also entered into a convertible note loan instrument on November 23, 2021, pursuant to which La Mancha agreed to purchase up to US$15,000,000 (approximately C$19,390,500 using the daily average rate of exchange for USD:CAD published by the Bank of Canada on December 21, 2021, being US$1.00=C$1.2927) principal amount convertible notes (the " Convertible Note "). The Convertible Note will be issued by Horizonte, subject to certain terms and conditions, prior to March 31, 2022 at a 5.75% discount (such that La Mancha shall only be required to pay 94.25% of the principal amount) at a fixed interest rate of 11.75% per annum, which shall be capitalised until the project completion of Horizonte's Araguaia Project and payable in cash (subject to available cashflows) thereafter. In the case of an event of default in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note, the interest rate is increased to 15.00% per annum. At any time until the maturity date (being the later of September 30, 2032 and 3 months after the final maturity date of Tranche A of Horizonte's proposed US$346.2 million senior debt facility), La Mancha may, at its option, convert the Convertible Note, partially or wholly, into Ordinary Shares of Horizonte at a conversion price equal to 125% of 7 pence, being 8.75 pence per Ordinary Share (the " Conversion Price "), subject to customary anti-dilution rights.

Immediately prior to the completion of the Private Placement, La Mancha did not beneficially own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over any Ordinary Shares. Immediately following completion of the Private Placement, La Mancha became an insider of Horizonte, owning 759,128,764 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 19.96% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (on an undiluted basis).

Assuming the issuance of the Convertible Note in the aggregate principal amount of US$15,000,000 (approximately C$19,390,500 using the daily average rate of exchange for USD:CAD published by the Bank of Canada on December 21, 2021, being US$1.00=C$1.2927) as of the date hereof, the conversion thereof in full at the Conversion Price of 8.75 pence (approximately C$0.15 using the daily average rate of exchange for GBP:CAD published by the Bank of Canada on December 21, 2021, being £1.00=C$1.7131) and the accumulation of no interest, La Mancha would hold an additional 129,270,000 Ordinary Shares, and would beneficially own and have control and direction over an aggregate of 888,398,764 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 22.6% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (on a partially diluted basis).

La Mancha completed the Private Placement and agreed to acquire the Convertible Note for business and investment purposes. In the future La Mancha may, from time to time, increase or decrease its investment in Horizonte through market transactions, private agreements, treasury issuances, the conversion of the Convertible Note for Ordinary Shares or otherwise at any time subject to the terms of the Investment Agreement and other applicable restrictions.

La Mancha's head office is located at 31-33 Avenue Pasteur L-2311 Luxembourg.

Horizonte's head office is located at Rex House, 4 - 12 Regent Street, London, England, SW1Y 4RG.
