EV Minerals Highlights Historic South and East Zone Results Providing Compelling Drill Targets at EV Nickel Project in Saguenay-Lac- Saint-Jean Region, Quebec
"Our desktop compilation of historic exploration on the property continues to outline very exciting upside opportunities to increase the resources at the EV Nickel Project," commented EV Minerals President and CEO Nicholas Konkin. "We are pleased that the majority of the mineralization in the South Zone and the Eastern Anomaly is focused near surface with the historical resource focused from surface to a depth of 109 metres. Analysis of the historic South Zone and Eastern Anomaly drilling and assay data indicates that there is potential to expand the resources, as the deposit is open along strike to the south, and at depth. The Eastern Anomaly is particularly underexplored, with only five historic drillholes, and we are seeing wide low-grade zone opportunities, as well as high-grade Nickel pockets within them."Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 14, 2024) - EV Minerals Corporation (CSE: EVM) (FSE: RLC) (the "Company" or "EV") is pleased to announce additional results of its previously announced Phase 1 desktop compilation at the EV Nickel-Copper-Cobalt ("EV Nickel Project") Project in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean Region, Quebec.
安大略省多伦多--（Newsfile Corp.-2024 年 3 月 14 日）- 电动汽车矿业公司 （案例：EVM) （FSE: RLC） （那个”公司“或”EV“）很高兴地宣布其先前在电动汽车镍铜钴上发布的第一阶段桌面编译的更多结果（”电动汽车镍项目“）魁北克省萨格奈-圣让湖地区的项目。
The goal of re-interpretation of historical drilling and regional geology is to produce and detail additional near-term and long-term exploration plans and targets. Historical results from the South and East Zones have provided additional areas of priority for 2024 exploration. EV Minerals will also be able to combine desktop data with the new drilling data when assays are returned from the recently completed confirmatory drilling.
重新解释历史钻探和区域地质学的目标是制定和详细说明更多的短期和长期勘探计划和目标。南区和东区的历史结果为2024年的勘探提供了额外的优先领域。当最近完成的确认性钻探返回化验结果时，EV Minerals还将能够将桌面数据与新的钻探数据相结合。
Initial Desktop Compilation Highlights in the South and East Zones:
南部和东部区域的初始桌面编译亮点：
- Highlights include South Zone composites leaving strong potential to the south, and wide zones with high-grade pockets in the Eastern Anomaly, which was only drill-tested with 5 historic drillholes over a strike length of 1.7 km.
- Highlights in the South Zone include hole 89-MCN-84, which graded 0.05% Co, 0.19% Cu, and 0.44% Ni over 5.20 m from 50.70 m, including 0.12% Co, 0.25% Cu, and 0.96% Ni over 1.70 m from 50.7 m (Figure 3), within gabbro to anorthositic gabbro containing massive sulphides, mainly pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite.
- A total of 160 drill holes, drilled in 1989, are reported in assessment reports. These need to be captured into a properly structured database to enable the generation of an interactive 3D model of the deposit. This is an essential step toward planning the next drill program and resource update. Of these, 43 additional holes have now been captured and verified from the South Zone and the Eastern Anomaly, with the remaining expected to be completed in the coming weeks (Figure 2).
- Limited Eastern Anomaly drilling includes hole 89-MCN-158, which graded 0.05% Co, 0.29% Cu, and 0.72% Ni over 7.44 m from 27.00 m, including 0.08% Co, 0.25% Cu, and 1.30% Ni over 2.48 m from 29.92 m (Figure 4), in disseminated sulphides within gabbro.
- Analysis of the historic logs indicate that the Eastern Anomaly has the presence of wide disseminated sulphides, while the Main Anomaly (underlying the historic Main Zone) mainly appears as semi-massive to massive sulphides.
- Wide low-grade composites were uncovered in hole 89-MCN-100, with no other drilling in the area (Table 1). Full list of composite highlights is found in Table 1.
- 亮点包括南区复合材料，向南具有巨大潜力，以及东部异常区中具有高等级口袋的宽阔区域，该区域仅进行了钻探测试，钻探长度为1.7千米，有5个历史钻孔。
- 南区的亮点包括洞 89-MCN-84，从 50.70 m 开始，在 5.20 m 以上的分级为 0.05% 的钴、0.19% 的铜和 0.44% 的镍，包括 170 m 以上 0.12% 的钴、0.25% 的铜和 0.96% 的镍 从 50.7 m（图 3），在辉长岩内到含有块状硫化物（主要是黄铁矿和黄铜矿）的非正晶辉长岩。
- 评估报告中报告了1989年钻探的总共160个钻孔。需要将这些数据采集到结构合理的数据库中，才能生成矿床的交互式三维模型。这是规划下一次钻探计划和资源更新的重要步骤。其中，目前已从南区和东部异常处捕获并验证了另外43个洞，其余的预计将在未来几周内完工（图2）。
- 有限的 Eastern Anomaly 钻探包括孔 89-MCN-158，分级 超过 744 m 的 0.05% Co、0.29% Cu 和 0.72% Ni 从 27.00 米起，包括 2.48 m 以上 0.08% Co、0.25% Cu 和 1.30% Ni 29.92 m（图 4），在辉长岩内的浸染硫化物中。
- 对历史记录的分析表明，东部异常存在大量的浸染硫化物，而主异常（位于历史主区下方）主要表现为半块状至块状硫化物。
- 在 89-MCN-100 孔中发现了宽幅低等级复合材料，该地区没有进行其他钻探（表 1）。综合亮点的完整清单见表 1。
"Our desktop compilation of historic exploration on the property continues to outline very exciting upside opportunities to increase the resources at the EV Nickel Project," commented EV Minerals President and CEO Nicholas Konkin. "We are pleased that the majority of the mineralization in the South Zone and the Eastern Anomaly is focused near surface with the historical resource focused from surface to a depth of 109 metres.

The Eastern Anomaly is particularly underexplored, with only five historic drillholes, and we are seeing wide low-grade zone opportunities, as well as high-grade Nickel pockets within them."
“我们对该物业历史勘探的桌面汇编继续概述了增加电动汽车镍项目资源的非常令人兴奋的上行机会，” EV Minerals总裁兼首席执行官尼古拉斯·康金评论道。 “我们很高兴南区和东部异常区的大部分矿化都集中在地表附近，历史资源集中在地表至109米的深度。对历史上的 South Zone 和 Eastern Anomaly 钻探和化验数据的分析表明，由于矿床在向南走向和深度均处于开放状态，因此有可能扩大资源。Eastern Anomaly的勘探尤其不足，只有五个历史钻孔，我们看到了广阔的低品位区域机会，其中也有高品位的镍矿区。”

About EV Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project
关于电动汽车镍铜钴项目
The 1,792-hectare EV Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project has been a source of ongoing enthusiasm for the EV Minerals technical team. This Project is north of Saguenay, Quebec and is easily accessible by numerous forest service roads. The EV Nickel Project has an undeveloped resource of 5.585 million tonnes with grades of 0.21% Ni, 0.11% Cu and 0.03% Co (NI 43-101 non-compliant resource)*, which was discovered in 1987 with a major drilling campaign completed in 1989 by a junior explorer.
占地1,792公顷的电动汽车镍铜钴项目一直是电动汽车矿业技术团队持续热情的源泉。该项目位于魁北克省萨格奈以北，可通过众多林业服务道路轻松抵达。电动汽车镍矿项目的未开发资源为558.5万吨，镍品位为0.21％，铜含量为0.11％，钴含量为0.03％（不符合北爱尔兰43-101标准的资源）*，该项目于1987年被发现，当时一位初级勘探者于1989年完成了大规模钻探活动。
The claims host a magmatic sulphide deposit consisting of disseminated, stringer and massive nickel, copper, and cobalt mineralization in a gabbro - leucogabbro host rock. It is likely a sill which has intruded anorthositic rocks of the expansive Lac-St-Jean anorthosite Complex, the largest of its kind in the world. The property lies on the far western edge of the Complex which is a major Proterozoic age intrusive consisting of a differentiated mafic body intruding the high-grade gneisses and granitic. In 1998, the Quebec Government produced a detailed report on the property in the publication:
这些索赔拥有岩浆硫化物矿床，该矿床由辉长岩-白辉岩宿主岩中的浸染、串烧和块状镍、铜和钴矿化组成。它很可能是侵入了广阔的 Lac-St-Jean anorthosite Complex 的非正体岩石的门槛，该建筑群是世界上同类建筑群中最大的岩石。该地产位于该建筑群的远西边缘，该建筑群是元古代时代的主要侵入体，由侵入高级片麻岩和花岗岩的分化黑铁质体组成。1998年，魁北克政府在出版物中编写了一份关于该财产的详细报告：

About EV Minerals Corporation
关于电动汽车矿业公司
EV Minerals Corporation is a Canadian exploration company focused on mineral exploration and development. The current focus is the EV Nickel Project, host of the nickel-copper-cobalt McNickel deposit. The Project is comprised of 32 mineral claims covering approximately 1,792 hectares located in the Saguenay area, the Province of Quebec. This deposit is reputed containing a non-current historical resource of 5.585 million tonnes with grades of 0.21% Ni, 0.11% Cu and 0.03% Co (NI 43-101 non-compliant resource), which is to be re-evaluated with the consideration of using either bioleaching or acid leaching and electrowinning for nickel, cobalt and copper recovery.
EV Minerals Corporation是一家加拿大勘探公司，专注于矿产勘探和开发。 目前的重点是电动汽车镍项目，该项目是镍铜钴麦克尼克尔矿床的所在地。该项目由32项矿产索赔组成，占地约1,792公顷，位于魁北克省萨格奈地区。据称，该矿床含有558.5万吨的非当前历史资源，镍品位为 0.21%，铜品位为 0.11%，钴 0.03%（不符合NI 43-101标准的资源），将对该矿床进行重新评估，同时考虑使用生物浸出或酸浸和电解来回收镍、钴和铜。
* The foregoing historical resource estimates presented above were completed in 1989, prior to the implementation of the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The Company is not treating the historic resources as current. However, given the abundance and quality of the historic drill work completed, the Company is confident that a mineral resource could be generated on the deposit through sufficient confirmation drilling.
* 上面提出的上述历史资源估算是在1989年完成的，当时是国家仪器43-101的要求实施之前- 矿产项目披露标准。该公司没有将历史资源视为最新资源。但是，鉴于已完成的历史钻探工作的丰富性和质量，该公司有信心通过充分的确认钻探可以在该矿床上产生矿产资源。
