FPX Nickel Completes Stepout Drilling Program Targeting
Southeast Extension of Baptiste Deposit at the Decar Nickel Project
Vancouver, September 25, 2017 – FPX Nickel Corp. (FPX-TSX.V) (“FPX Nickel” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of its stepout drilling program of the
Baptiste deposit at the Company’s flagship Decar nickel project. The previously announced
program (see FPX Nickel’s August 10, 2017 news release) tested the southeast extension of the
Baptiste deposit, where adjacent holes drilled during the most recent drilling campaign in 2012
returned the highest-grading drill intercepts on the property.
A total of eight diamond drill holes were completed over a cumulative 1,917 metres. Drilling
was conducted to the southeast of the Baptiste deposit, covering an area of 500 metres along
strike from previous drilling (trending from northwest to southeast), over a width of 500 metres
(trending from southwest to northeast). All holes were drilled at an angle of minus 50 degrees,
with maximum down-hole depth of 350 metres testing vertical depth to a maximum of 300
metres below surface. Assays are pending, and first results are expected to be received by the
Company in mid-October.
