Power Nickel hits 25 metres of Massive and Semi Massive Sulfides on 300 metre step out in First hole of Fall Program
Power Nickel hits 25 metres of Massive
and Semi Massive Sulfides on 300 metre
step out in First hole of Fall Program
Toronto, Ontario – August 22, 2023 – Power Nickel Inc. (the “Company” or “Power Nickel”)
(TSX-V: PNPN, OTCBB: CMETF, Frankfurt IVV) is please to announce that the step out hole
testing the Nisk Main Deposit 300 metres to the south and east of previous drilling has
encountered at a downhole depth of 457 metres about 25 metres of massive and semi-massive
sulfides.

The hole, Number 1 in Figure 1 above , is testing at depth an area to the east of two of the best
holes, PN-22-009 and PN-23-035.
“Pretty as a picture. The Scientific team has done a terrific job using both traditional scientific tools
like Gravity, IP, Airborne and Downhole EM together with the newer Ambient Noise Tomography
to guide us to an exciting new growth zone for Nisk Main. This SE Trend is one of three we have
identified at Nisk Main and all look very promising at depth and along strike” - Commented Power
Nickel CEO Terry Lynch.
The picture below presents a mosaic of the 6 core boxes containing the mas sive and semi -
massive sulphides intercepted over 25m in this first hole of the fall drilling program.

“The SE plunge within the mineralized horizon is a compelling observation. Testing identified
plunges at progressive deeper depths is the strategy behind these initial few holes of our fall
campaign. Although the grade cannot be presumed now, successfully intersecting these massive
and semi massive sulfides is a very encouraging start to our program ” - commented VP
Exploration Kenneth Williamson.

About Power Nickel Inc.
Power Nickel is a Canadian junior exploration company focusing on developing the High -Grade
Nisk project into Canada's first Carbon Neutral Nickel mine.
On February 1, 2021, Power Nickel (then called Chilean Metals) completed the acquisition of its
option to acquire up to 80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (CRE: TSXV).
Subsequently, Power Nickel has exercised its option to acquire 50% of the Nisk Project and
delivered notice to Critical Elements that it intends to exercise its second option to bring its
ownership to 80%. The last remaining commitment to activate this exercise of the option is the
delivery of a NI-43-101 Technical report which is anticipated to occur at the latest in Q4 2023.
The NISK property comprises a significant land position (20 kilometers of strike length) with
numerous high-grade intercepts. Power Nickel is focused on expanding the historical high-grade
nickel-copper PGE mineralization with a series of drill programs designed to test the initial Nisk
discovery zone and to explore the land package for adjacent potential Nickel deposits.
In addition to the Nisk project, Power Nickel owns significant land packages in British Colombia
and Chile. Power Nickel is expected to reorganize these assets in a related public vehicle through
a plan of arrangement.
Power Nickel announced on June 8, 2021, that an agreement had been made to complete the
100% acquisition of its Golden Ivan project in the heart of the Golden Triangle. The Golden
Triangle has reported mineral resources (past production and curr ent resources) in 130 million
ounces of gold, 800 million ounces of silver, and 40 billion pounds of copper (Resource World).
This property hosts two known mineral showings (gold ore and Magee) and a portion of the past-
producing Silverado mine, reportedly exploited between 1921 and 1939. These mineral showings
are Polymetallic veins containing quantities of silver, lead, zinc, plus/minus gold, and plus/minus
copper.
Power Nickel is also 100 percent owner of five properties comprising over 50,000 acres
strategically located in the prolific iron-oxide-copper-gold belt of northern Chile. It also owns a 3-
per-cent NSR royalty interest on any future production from the Copaquire copper -molybdenum
deposit sold to a subsidiary of Teck Resources Inc. Under the terms of the sale agreement, Teck
has the right to acquire one-third of the 3-per-cent NSR for $3 million at any time. The Copaquire
property borders Teck's producing Quebrada Blanca copper mine in Chile's first region.
