About Nikos Explorations:
Nikos Explorations is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective
gold projects in the Americas. Nikos recently signed a Letter of Intent under which the Company has the option to acquire 100%
of the 740 square kilometre (km
2
) Ashuanipi property in northwest Labrador as well as a right of first refusal for the Nain (503
km
2
) and Hopedale Greenstone (458 km
2
) properties in central Labrador.
The Ashuanipi gold project is located just 35km from the historical iron ore mining community of Schefferville, which is linked by
rail to the port of Sept Iles, Quebec in the south. The claim blocks cover large lake sediment gold anomalies that, with the
exception of local prospecting, have not seen a systematic modern day exploration program. Recent regional geological
mapping in the area by the Newfoundland and Labrador Geological Survey has highlighted the gold potential of the region and
historical work 30km north on the Quebec side led to gold intersections of up to 2.23 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 19.55 metres
(not true width). Gold in both areas appears to be associated with metamorphosed iron formation.
The Nain gold project comprises three claim blocks, two of which lie along the Nain-Churchill terrane boundary. One of the claim
blocks, Sneegamook, has the largest and most intense gold in lake sediment anomaly in Labrador, but no known gold
exploration has taken place in the area.
The Hopedale greenstone properties cover much of the Hunt River and Victoria Lake greenstone belts that stretch over 80km.
The belts are typical of greenstone belts around the world, but have been underexplored by comparison. Historical exploration
did result in a gold showing of up to 7.5 g/t Au, but no significant gold exploration has been undertaken since the discovery.
The company has 25,684,225 shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol NIK.
