Core Insights - Fathom Nickel Inc. has completed its summer field exploration program at the Gochager Lake Project, despite a three-day interruption due to a lightning-induced wildfire [1][6]. Program Highlights - A total of 2,926 B-horizon soil samples were collected from 3,183 designated sites, along with 337 rock samples analyzed on-site for nickel, copper, cobalt, and other key elements [5]. - Approximately 90% of the intended soil geochemistry sampling coverage was completed, adding 3.5 km of coverage to the northeast and 2.5 km to the southwest [5]. - The total area covered by soil geochemistry now spans approximately 9 km in strike and 1-3 km in width, focusing on an interpreted structural corridor [5]. Mineralization Findings - Nickel in disseminated sulphide mineralization was detected approximately 1,200 m along strike of the historic Gochager Lake deposit, with additional findings of nickel in gabbroic and ultramafic rocks [5][7]. - The highest nickel-in-soil sample was collected approximately 800 m west-southwest of the historic Gochager Lake deposit [7]. Future Plans - The company anticipates interpreting the results of the soil and rock geochemistry program by mid-September, with plans for a geophysical survey to assess conductivity associated with newly discovered mineralized rocks [6][7]. - The exploration program aims to further define the nickel camp in north-central Saskatchewan, with ongoing efforts to expand the known mineralization footprint [6][15]. Company Overview - Fathom Nickel Inc. is focused on magmatic nickel sulphide discoveries to secure North American critical minerals and support the global green energy transition [15]. - The company holds a portfolio of three exploration projects in Saskatchewan, including the Gochager Lake Project, which has shown significant potential for nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization [16].
