First Atlantic Nickel Corp.: Significant Expansion in Drilling at RPM Zone
VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 19, 2025 – First Atlantic Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FAN) (OTCQB: FANCF) (FSE: P21) (“First Atlantic” or the “Company”) is excited to share the latest developments from its 100% owned Atlantic Nickel Project in Newfoundland. The Company recently announced a significant expansion in drilling activities at the RPM Zone, which has revealed promising results.
Expansion of Drilling at RPM Zone
First Atlantic completed Phase 1 of drilling at the RPM Zone with five holes, including RPM Drill Hole 4 (AN-24-05). This last hole was a noteworthy 400-meter step-out to the north of the RPM Discovery Holes 1, 2, and 3. The Company’s drilling efforts have now reached a depth of over 1,000 meters, and the results have shown continuous visible awaruite nickel-alloy mineralization.
Promising Results from RPM Drill Hole 4
The most recent drill hole, AN-24-05, has shown strong mineralization, with visible awaruite intersected over a width of 5 meters at a depth of 800 meters. This finding further strengthens the potential for a large, continuous nickel resource at the RPM Zone. The Company is planning to follow up on these results with further drilling in the upcoming phases.
Impact on the Mining Industry
First Atlantic’s expansion in drilling at the RPM Zone is a significant development for the nickel industry. The discovery of continuous visible awaruite mineralization could lead to increased production and supply of nickel, a critical metal used in various industries such as stainless steel, batteries for electric vehicles, and renewable energy technologies. This could potentially lead to a more sustainable and reliable supply chain for nickel, which is essential for the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
Impact on Consumers
The expansion in drilling at the RPM Zone could have a positive impact on consumers as well. With the increasing demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies, the need for nickel is expected to grow significantly. A stable and reliable supply of nickel could lead to lower prices and increased availability, making these technologies more accessible to a larger population.
Conclusion
First Atlantic Nickel Corp.’s expansion in drilling activities at the RPM Zone within its Atlantic Nickel Project in Newfoundland is a promising development for the nickel industry and consumers alike. The discovery of continuous visible awaruite mineralization could lead to increased production and a more sustainable and reliable supply chain for nickel. This, in turn, could lead to lower prices and increased availability of nickel, making electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies more accessible to a larger population. Stay tuned for further updates from First Atlantic Nickel Corp. as they continue to explore the potential of the RPM Zone.
