Fathom Nickel has announced the results of its Q1 drill program at the Albert Lake Project in Saskatchewan, Canada, revealing significant nickel mineralization that could have substantial implications for the company's exploration strategy. The program, involving six drill holes totaling 1,386 meters, intersected 0.42% nickel over a 2.01-meter interval in drillhole AL24077, hosted within orthopyroxenite, a rock type associated with the high-grade Rottenstone deposit located 1.2 kilometers away.
The discovery's proximity to the Rottenstone deposit, known for its exceptional nickel, copper, and platinum group elements (PGE) grades, highlights the potential for similar high-grade mineralization at Albert Lake. Fathom Nickel's CEO, Ian Fraser, underscored the significance of this find, pointing to the possibility of net-textured to massive sulphide mineralization along strike and at depth within the same ultramafic unit. Such a development could mirror the metal grades of the Rottenstone deposit, marking a pivotal moment for the company's exploration efforts.
In addition to the Albert Lake Project, Fathom Nickel has completed drilling at its flagship Gochager Lake Project, with assay results anticipated by the end of May. These outcomes are expected to shed further light on the project's mineral potential, guiding future exploration activities.
