FPX Nickel Corp, a premier nickel mining company, has been recognized for its large scale drilling program and its recent rock sampling program on the Mich property has now put this project on the world map.
FPX Nickel Corp recently released results of the rock sampling program conducted on its 100% owned Mich property in central British Columbia, Canada. The Mich property is expected to be an impactful addition to the company’s flagship Baptiste Nickel Project.
The company selected the Mich property for exploration due to the massive ultramafic lithologies similar to the Decar Nickel District, the location of Baptiste Deposit. The rock sampling program unearthed large amounts of Ni-Fe alloy (nickel-iron), suggesting that there is significant potential for the development and economic viability of the deposit.
The rock sampling procedure involved surface level testing and collection of material from seven different targeted areas within the Mich property. What was extraordinary about this process was the ‘horizon’ methodology employed by the geologists. Essentially, the horizon methodology involves following the mineral deposit ‘horizon’ across targeted areas. This approach contributed to accurately identifying deposits that had the potential for high-grade content.
The results were impressive, with surface grades comparable to FPX’s flagship Baptiste Nickel Project. High-grade Ni-Fe alloy was noted in several areas, with approximately 0.13% Nickel, 0.013% Cobalt and 43.29% Iron.
On the back of these positive results, an extensive diamond drilling program has been planned. This next phase will allow FPX to understand the potential for resource definition, including depth and continuity of these zones showing high-grade deposits.
Overall, these results underline the significance of the Mich property as a highly compelling large-scale target for further exploration. Significantly, FPX Nickel Corp. could be on the brink of discovering another major nickel deposit.
Furthermore, the environmental sustainability factor of the project is commendable. The Baptiste Project is leading the way in showcasing how net-zero carbon nickel mining is feasible. The company is pioneering using nickel-iron alloy, regarded as a ‘green’ metal due to its application in manufacturing rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. The findings in the Mich property align with this green strategy, which further boosts FPX Nickel Corp’s reputation as an environmentally conscious miner.
To sum it up, the Mich property is shaping up to be a game-changer in the nickel mining industry. The project has shown to share similar properties with the flagship Baptiste Project in relation to surface grades. This holds exciting possibilities for the exploration and mining company and brings FPX Nickel Corp one step closer to its sustainable mining goals.
