• Reports assay results from 12 additional holes, Intersections included:
o hole EV22-33 with 203.4m grading 0.26% Ni,
o hole EV22-43 with 298.7m grading 0.27% Ni, and
o hole EV22-32 with 202.4m grading 0.27% Ni.
• The host unit has intersected in all drill holes completed so far on the CarLang A Zone
• EVNi drilled 1.4km of the >10km of prospective strike this summer with 28 holes
totalling 8,295m
• Assays are pending for the remaining 5 holes and will be used in a CarLang A Zone
Preliminary Resource, scheduled for this spring.
• Management will host a live digital event on Monday January 16th at 10am ET, to
discuss these results, the Groves Project High-Grade plus the 2023 Work Plan. The event

TORONTO, ON / January 12, 2023 / EV NICKEL INC. (TSXV:EVNI) ("EVNi" or the
"Company") is excited to announce the additional assay results, from 12 additional holes of the
Phase 3 Drilling program completed over the Large-Scale nickel target in the northeast of its
Shaw Dome Project, referred to as the Carman-Langmuir or, "CarLang Area" (see figure 1).
Based upon the assay analyses of the 23 holes reported (for prior results, see news releases dated
October 24, November 28 and December 7, 2022) and core logging of the remaining 5 holes, it is
confirmed that every hole of the 28 hole diamond drill program intersected the targeted dunite
unit and continue to confirm the new "CarLang A Zone" as a potential Large-Scale nickel
prospect.
"CarLang is turning out to be exactly what we expected and I am excited to see the results of the
upcoming preliminary resource estimate," said Sean Samson, President & CEO. "The A Zone
will get us started but we know it's only 1.4km of the more than 10km of prospective strike length
across CarLang. This is one part of our two track strategy of focusing on both this Large-Scale
plus the High-Grade potential of our Shaw Dome Project."
Assay results continue to confirm the thick intersections of large-scale, broad zones of nickel
mineralization. Gaps observed in the mineralized sequence represent intersections of late, cross
cutting diabase or intermediate dykes in an otherwise continuous sequence of dunite. Assays are
pending on the remaining 5 holes and are scheduled to be completed by the end of January 2023.
Caracle Creek International Consulting ("CCIC") has been contracted to complete the
Preliminary Resource Estimate for the CarLang A Zone and results are anticipated in the spring
of 2023.
"I am looking forward to working with the CCIC team to complete this preliminary resource
estimate for the CarLang A Zone," said Paul Davis, Vice President Exploration. "I see a number
of positive characteristics of our CarLang A Zone including, but not limited to, that it sub-crops
to surface and would have a very low strip ratio, it represents only about 15% of the total
identified strike length of the favourable dunites in the CarLang Area and the potential of the
area to contain nickel mineralization that could represent a source of multi-decadal mining and
development."
Favourable Project Characteristics
The CarLang Area has many favourable characteristics including: easy accessibility by road with
significant outcrop exposure of the dunitic rocks across the property; recent logging activity has
exposed additional outcrop and developed a network of gravel access roads; and the interpreted
thickness of the overburden covering the CarLang A Zone is estimated to average less than 5
meters based upon the recent Phase 3 drill hole program, with a significant portion sub-cropping
to surface with less than 1 metre of overburden.
When these factors are combined, the Company believes that the CarLang Area is well
positioned for any future development and will rise to the top of the areas of interest for Large-
Scale nickel projects.
Assay QA/QC
Drill core samples from EVNi drilling at the Shaw Dome Project are cut or whole core sampled
and bagged at the core logging facility located near the Shaw Dome Project and transported to
ALS Canada Ltd. ("ALS") and SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") for analysis. Samples, along with
certified standards and blanks, that are included by the Company for quality assurance and
quality control, were prepared and analyzed at the laboratories. At ALS, 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. At SGS, samples are crushed to 75% less
than 2mm. A riffle split is pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Nickel, copper and cobalt are
analyzed by sodium peroxide fusion with an ICP-AES finish, platinum, palladium and gold by
fire assay and ICP-AES finish and sulphur by Leco. These and future assay results may vary
from time to time due to re‒analysis for quality assurance and quality control.
