The current size the of the zone is derived from observation of semi-massive to massive sulphides. An interpreted deformation corridor appears to control the presence and thickness of mineralized sulphides. (CNW Group\/Power Nickel Inc.)<\/span><\/p>\n Assays from the remaining holes are now in at the laboratory and the Company expects to report on those in October.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thus, we have the grades, even within the relatively thin intersections, and it is fair to presume that the mineralization is being transposed into a fault zone to a nearby offset location, likely deeper to the east. In parallel, drilling on the west side of the zone indicates that we are still in the thicker portion of the zone; this core seems to be moderately plunging to the west. Our takeaway is that the Lion Zone is likely much bigger than originally envisioned. As discussed, in addition to expanding the Lion Zone with our targeted drilling, we are in the process of compiling the information from several data sources. We have gathered downhole EM, Gravity and Geo Chemical data which, combined with the Ambient Noise Tomography passive seismic data, should provide for a very robust drill targeting strategy session which will determine our 30,000 metre fully funded fall and winter drill program that starts\u00a0Oct 15th.Ken Williamson, VP Exploration, Power Nickel Inc.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n Note: Length is presented as downhole distance, true width corresponds to 60-80% of such downhole distance in function of the orientation of the hole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Figure 2\u00a0and\u00a0Figure 3\u00a0below are cross-sections through the Lion Zone, along the holes reported in this current release, presenting the new assay results in their geological context. Core photos provide a visual support, allowing appreciation of the good correlation between sulphides presence and reported polymetallic grades.<\/p>\n Figure 2: Sections 04+00 \u2013 presenting results from the West side of Lion Zone.

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\u00a0using RX-1 (Dry, crush (< 7 kg) up to 80% passing 2 mm, riffle split (250 g) and pulverize (mild steel) to 95% passing 105 \u03bcm) 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.<\/p>\n GeoVector’s QAQC program includes regular insertion of CRM standards, duplicates, and blanks into the sample stream with a stringent review of all results.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n
