Nisk project
The previously disclosed “best efforts” offering is expected to close around Feb. 27, subject to regulatory approvals including from the TSX Venture Exchange.
Power Nickel entered the project in 2021. The Toronto-based junior miner plans to develop Nisk, located in Quebec’s James Bay region, as Canada’s first carbon-neutral nickel mine, leveraging carbon capture and hydroelectric power.
The project includes the Nisk and Lion zones, along with untested electromagnetic targets.
According to the company, the Nisk main zone features high-grade class-one nickel with intercepts of 18.5 metres at 2% nickel equivalent and 26.6 meters at 1.98% nickel equivalent.
The Lion Discovery showcases zones with copper up to 8%, PGMs over 22 grams per tonne, gold over 1.6 grams per tonne, and silver over 69 grams per tonne.
