EV NICKEL CONFIRMS HIGH-GRADE NICKEL AT LANGMUIR #2
INTERSECTING NICKEL GRADES FROM 1.07% TO 5.11%
• EV24-L04 intersected 18.5m grading 1.07% Ni, incl. 7.5m grading 1.67% Ni, 2m grading 3.27% Ni and 1m at
5.11% Ni
• Assay results indicate high nickel tenor.
TORONTO, ON – EV NICKEL INC. (TSX-V: EVNI) (“EVNi” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce high-grade nickel intercepts
from the 2024 drill program on the Langmuir #2 Nickel Zone. Results are illustrated in Table 1 below and with intercepts
grading from 1.07% Ni to as high as 5.11% Ni in drill hole EV24-L04.
In addition, the assay analysis indicates that the nickel sulphides have a higher than expected nickel tenor ranging from
~12% to >40% Ni (nickel tenor is a calculated nickel content in 100% sulphide).
Paul Davis, Vice President Exploration says of the drill results:
“I am extremely pleased with the results of this preliminary drill program. Throughout my >30 year association
with this area I have had high conviction that multiple, significant high-grade deposits exist throughout EV
Nickel’s land package which is in close proximity to Timmins. The high nickel tenors observed from the
Langmuir #2 nickel zone are very encouraging. The 2024 Exploration program was designed to confirm the style
and nature of the nickel mineralization at Langmuir #2 and thus far it has been highly successful. I believe the
Shaw Dome has a major significance for the Timmins area and could be a long term source of low carbon
intensity, North American nickel.”
The high-grade assay results announced today represent the first 4 holes of the 2024 program targeting the down plunge
high-grade nickel associated with the formerly producing Langmuir #2 Nickel Mine (For the Langmuir #2 Zone location in
the Shaw Dome Project, please see Figure 1).

The Langmuir #2 target represents the first of 4 high-grade nickel zones to be tested by the Company which also include
the W2 and Croxall nickel targets identified with limited historical exploration over the past 20 years. The Company
previously released its 43 -101 Technical Report on the 2Mt grading 0.98% Ni high-grade W4 deposit (comprised of a
Measured and Indicated Resources of 1.45Mt grading 0.98% Ni and I nferred Resource of 0.56Mt grading 0.98% Ni; see
news releases dated June 16, 2023 and July 26, 2023).
The Company plans to diamond drill the additional high-grade targets over the coming months to advance on the high -
grade nickel strategy with an objective of advancing towards a short to medium term source of Canadian nickel into the
EV Battery manufacturing supply chain.
The High-Grade targets and deposits in the southern portion of our Land package is in addition to EVNi’s Large-Scale
CarLang A Nickel Deposit located approximately 2km to the northeast of the Langmuir #2 zone.
Together, the high-grade and large-scale deposits provides EVNi with a project pipeline with the potential to grow a strong,
sustainable nickel source for North American markets.
This diamond drill hole program is designed to confirm the down -plunge potential and demonstrate the exceptional
potential of the mineralized trend that hosts additional high-grade nickel sulphides. The objectives of this program include
expanding the known mineralization along the interpreted plunge of the mineralization and expanding the size of the
nickel sulphide mineralized envelope . In addition, this program has provided EVN i with fresh samples of the nickel
sulphide mineralization.
Following on the successes of the Langmuir 2 drilling program, EVNI will continue to execute on the remainder of the
2024 diamond drilling program testing the continuity of the 10 kms of strike of the dunites and peridotites of the
CarLang Trend and test the extension of the W4 deposit below the current resource envelope to define the
mineralization boundary below 400 metres vertical depth.

Core Handling and Assay-QA/QC Procedures
Drill core samples from EVNi drilling at the Langmuir #2 Target were cut and bagged at the core logging facility located
near the Shaw Dome Project and transported to ALS Canada Ltd. (“ALS”) for analysis. Samples, along with certified
standards and blanks, included by the Company for quality assurance and quality control, were prepared and analyzed at
ALS. Samples were crushed at ALS to 70% less than 2 millimetres. A riffle split was 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 an ICP-AES finish. These and future assay results may vary from time to time due to re‒analysis for
quality assurance and quality control purposes.

About EV Nickel Inc.
EV Nickel’s mission is to provide the world with clean nickel from Tier 1 jurisdictions. Our projects are located within 30
km of Timmins, a developing hub of clean critical minerals for the North American battery and stainless-steel markets and
an important emerging critical mineral district for the North American efforts to bring on-shore the full vertical integration
of electric batteries and vehicles.
EV Nickel aims to play an integral part of the North American on -shoring initiative as the Company’s clean , low carbon
deposits can be an important source of supply to support the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Ontario and Federal policies
and initiatives which strive to bring clean critical mineral production from Canada into the North American supply chain
and globally.
In further support of this initiative, the Company has and will continue to partner with environmentally responsible and
ethical organizations from around the province and around the world to assist in developing these essential critical
minerals. EV Nick el is also eager to collaborate with all stakeholders and leading sustainable engineering, mining,
automotive and battery companies to provide this key input to support global decarbonization initiatives. The
governments of Ontario and Canada are also pro viding significant legislative, policy and financial support to help ensure
that the Timmins region becomes a leading participant in the developing North American supply chain for the clean
transition energy.
