Prospecting highlights include:
勘查亮點包括:
- An outcrop grab sample returned 2.68 g/t Au within an anomalous gold zone approximately 14km along strike of the Ramp Metals Inc. Ranger gold discovery (Figures 1 & 2).
- In addition to the gold results, 13 outcrop grab samples are classified as anomalous in Mg-Cr-Ni-Co,, suggesting the presence of mafic-ultramafic intrusives and possible magmatic nickel sulphide mineralization also occurring within the area.
- Assay results with up to 9.34% Mg, up to 622ppm Cr, up to 298ppm Ni and up to 59ppm Co are considered anomalous and indicative of mafic to ultramafic composition.
- A total of 144 rock grab samples were submitted for analysis.
- 剖面抓取樣品中返回了2.68克/噸的金,位於Ramp Metals Inc. Ranger金礦發現沿長約14公里的異常金區內(圖1 & 2)。
- 除了金的結果外,13個剖面抓取樣品被分類爲Mg-Cr-Ni-Co異常,表明玄武岩-超鎂鐵巖侵入岩存在,可能還存在於該區域內的岩漿鎳硫化物礦化。
- 包括高達9.34%的鎂、高達622ppm的鉻、高達298ppm的鎳和高達59ppm的鈷的化驗結果被認爲是異常的,表明具有玄武岩至超鎂鐵巖成分。
- 共提交了144個岩石抓取樣品進行分析。
Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - September 24, 2024) - Fathom Nickel Inc. (CSE: FNI) (FSE: 6Q5) (OTCQB: FNICF) (the "Company" or "Fathom") is pleased to announce the results from a brief summer prospecting program at the Company's 100% owned Albert Lake Property.
卡爾加里,阿爾伯塔州--(新聞社 - 2024年9月24日) - Fathom Nickel Inc.(cse: FNI)(fse: 6Q5)(OTCQB: FNICF)("公司"或"Fathom")很高興宣佈公司100%擁有的艾伯特湖地產夏季簡短勘查項目的結果。
On June 17, Ramp Metals Inc. ("Ramp") announced a significant gold discovery of 73.55 g/t Au over 7.5 meters at its Rottenstone SW Project, located within 5 km of the Albert Lake Property boundary. In response, and after reviewing Fathom airborne data at Albert Lake, the Company initiated a reconnaissance surface sampling program to test possible targets along strike of the Ramp discovery drillhole. A four-person crew prospected a select area in the southeast corner of the Albert Lake Property from August 6-12, 2024 (Figures 1 &2). The area of interest is near to the southern boundary of the Albert Lake Property, and along strike of the Ramp Metals Ranger gold discovery. Two distinct northeast trending zones of anomalous gold resulted from the prospecting exercise along with occurrences of mafic-ultramafic rocks of similar northeast trend, and locally coincide with anomalous gold samples (Figure 2). Fathom has an exploration permit in place to allow for continued exploration within this area and throughout the 90,000+ hectare Albert Lake Property through to November 2026.
6月17日,Ramp Metals Inc.("Ramp")宣佈在其Rottenstone SW項目中發現了73.55克/噸的Au,距離艾伯特湖地產邊界內5公里。作爲回應,並在查看了艾伯特湖的Fathom空中數據後,公司啓動了一個初步地表取樣計劃,以測試沿着Ramp鑽孔發現的可能目標。一支由四人組成的隊伍於2024年8月6日至12日期間在艾伯特湖地產東南角的特定區域進行了勘查(圖1 &2)。感興趣的區域靠近艾伯特湖地產的南邊界,並沿Ramp Metals Ranger金礦發現的走向。 勘查活動產生了兩個明顯的東北走向異常金區,以及與異常金樣品重疊的相似東北走向的玄武岩-超鎂鐵巖的出現(圖2)。 Fathom對該區域和整個9萬多公頃的艾伯特湖地產繼續進行勘查擁有勘查許可證,直至2026年11月。
Ian Fraser, CEO and VP Exploration stated, "Upon the announcement of the Ranger gold discovery by our neighbour Ramp, we were immediately intrigued by the possibility of gold mineralization continuing along strike onto our property. Our 2022 heliborne MAG survey highlighted very good structural complexity at the southern end of the Albert Lake Property and it certainly now appears there is gold plus mafic-ultramafic intrusives associated with this structural complexity. These results, while preliminary, are very encouraging. It makes us think, what else is going on within the very expansive 90,000+ hectare Albert Lake Property? With our exploration permit and camp in place, we are in a very good position to explore these possibilities."
首席執行官兼勘探副總裁伊恩·弗雷澤表示:「當我們的鄰居蘭普公佈Ranger金礦的發現時,我們立即對金礦化可能繼續延伸至我們物業的可能性感到好奇。我們2022年的直升機磁力勘測強調了阿爾伯特湖物業南端的非常不錯的結構複雜性,目前看來與這種結構複雜性相關的金礦加上鎂鐵質超鎂鐵質侵入體。儘管這些結果還是初步的,但是非常鼓舞人心。這讓我們思考,在覆蓋面積超過90,000公頃的阿爾伯特湖物業內還發生了什麼?憑藉我們的勘探許可證和基地已經就位,我們在探索這些可能性方面處於非常有利的位置。」

Future Exploration Plan
未來勘探計劃
Based on the exciting discovery of 2.68 g/t Au within anomalous gold showings in the southern area of the Albert Lake Property, management is planning on follow-up field exploration and, ultimately, drilling focussed on this gold potential. It is expected that these plans will take shape in the coming months.
基於在阿爾伯特湖物業南部發現的2.68克/噸金(Au)的激動人心發現,管理層計劃進行後續現場勘探,最終進行重點鑽探,關注這一金礦潛力。預計這些計劃將在未來幾個月內形成。
Mr. Fraser added, "We are ecstatic with the discovery of gold showings along trend with Ramp's Ranger drillhole, in an area at Albert Lake that has seen very limited exploration. We look forward to performing follow-up exploratory work in 2025. While this exciting news does provide Fathom with a new opportunity, we very much intend to continue our focus around our emerging high-grade nickel camps at both our Albert Lake and Gochager Lake properties."
弗雷澤先生補充道:「我們對在與Ramp的Ranger鑽孔趨勢相同的阿爾伯特湖地區發現金的激動,這個區域一直受到了非常有限的勘探。我們期待在2025年進行後續的探查工作。儘管這一激動人心的消息爲Fathom提供了新機會,但我們非常打算繼續專注於我們阿爾伯特湖和戈查格爾湖物業新興的高品位鎳營地周圍的工作。」
Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Disclosure Statement
質量保證/質量控制(QA/QC)披露聲明
The Company contracted the services of TerraLogic Exploration Inc. ("TerraLogic") to conduct the prospecting program at the Albert Lake property. Prospecting crews were instructed to collect rock, grab samples to provide a broad geochemical data base for the purpose of determining the potential for gold and mafic-ultramafic hosted magmatic nickel sulphides. The prospecting crews from a base fly camp set out on organized traverses and collected a representative grab sample from each outcrop encountered along the traverse. At each outcrop location (geostation) crews collected and recorded metadata associated with the location. Once sorted and logged all rock samples were shipped to ALS Canada Ltd. ("ALS") in North Vancouver, British Columbia. At ALS, individual samples were crushed to 70% <2mm and then riffle split off 250g which was then pulverized to >85% passing 75um. Analysis was by 34-element four acid ICP-AES (ME-ICP61), Au 30g FA-AA finish (Au-AA23), and select check assays by Au 50g FA-AA finish (Au-AA24). ALS is an ISO / IEC 17025 certified laboratory and independent of Fathom.
公司聘請了TerraLogic Exploration Inc.(「TerraLogic」)的服務來進行阿爾伯特湖物業的勘探計劃。勘探隊被指示收集岩石、取樣以提供廣泛的地球化學數據庫,以確定金和鎂鐵質超鎂鐵質礦質硫化鎳的潛力。勘探隊從一個設在基地的飛行營地展開組織式的橫越,並從遇到的每個露頭處採集一個具代表性的抓地樣品。在每個露頭位置(地址)處,工作隊收集並記錄與地點相關的元數據。一經整理和記錄,所有岩石樣本被運往位於不列顛哥倫比亞省北溫哥華的ALS Canada Ltd.(「ALS」)。在ALS,個別樣本被粉碎至70%<2mm,然後分取250克,然後粉磨至>85%通過75um。分析採用34元素四酸ICP-AES(ME-ICP61)、Au 30g FA-AA finish(Au-AA23)法,以及選擇Au 50g FA-AA finish(Au-AA24)進行覈查分析。 ALS是一家ISO/IEC 17025認證的實驗室,獨立於Fathom。
The Company's QAQC approach to the rock samples collected compares to the Company's drill core approach; that is, with respect to the insertion of blanks and standards. Two standards and 3 blank standards were inserted into the batch of 144 rock samples.
公司在收集的岩石樣本上的質量控制方法與公司的岩心處理方法相對比,即在空白和標準物的插入方面。在144個岩石樣本批次中插入了兩個標準物和3個空白標準物。

The Company now has a portfolio of three high-quality exploration projects located in the prolific Trans Hudson Corridor in Saskatchewan: 1) the Albert Lake Project, a 90,000+ hectare project that was host to the historic and past producing Rottenstone Mine1 (produced 28,724 tons @3.3% Ni, 1.8% Cu, 9.63 g/t 3E (Pd-Pt+Au) 1965-1969), and 2) the 22,000+ hectare Gochager Lake Project that is host to a historic, NI43-101 non-compliant open pit resource consisting of 4.3M tons at 0.295% Ni and 0.081% Cu2, and 3) the 10,000+ hectare Friesen Lake Project located 40km southwest of the historic Rottenstone Mine and 30km northwest of the historic Gochager Lake deposit.
公司現在擁有三個位於薩斯喀徹港州有產量豐富的特蘭斯·哈德遜走廊的高品質勘探項目組合:1)阿爾伯特湖項目,一個面積超過90,000公頃的項目區,曾經是歷史悠久的、早期生產的羅頓石礦1(1965-1969年,產量爲28,724噸,3.3% Ni、1.8% Cu、9.63克/噸3E(Pd-Pt+Au)),2)22,000多公頃的Gochager Lake項目,是一個歷史悠久的、符合NI43-101標準的露天礦資源,由430萬噸0.295% Ni和0.081% Cu2組成,以及3)Friesen Lake項目,佔地10,000多公頃,位於歷史悠久的羅頓石礦西南40公里和歷史悠久的Gochager Lake礦牀西北30公里處。
1 - The Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI #0958) reports the production grades noted above from a small open pit. Fathom cannot confirm the production numbers nor a historic resource estimate that may have been in place ahead of production. The historic pit exists, and the Company trusts the production, as noted in SMDI #0958, to be accurate. The Company has performed test assaying of Rottenstone-type mineralization and results are consistent with production grades.
1-薩斯喀徹溫省礦產存儲指數(SMDI#0958)報告了上述生產品位來自小型露天採礦場。Fathom無法確認可能在開採前存在的歷史資源估計量或生產數字。歷史礦坑存在,該公司信任SMDI#0958中註明的生產數據準確。該公司對類似潭石礦化測試進行了測試測定,結果與生產品位一致。
2 - The Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI #0880) reports drill indicated reserves at the historic Gochager Lake Deposit of 4,262,400 tons grading 0.295% Ni and 0.081% Cu mineable by open pit. Fathom cannot confirm the resource estimate, nor the parameters and methods used to prepare the reserve estimate. The estimate is not considered NI43-101 compliant and further work is required to verify this historical drill indicated reserve.
2-薩斯喀徹溫省礦產存儲指數(SMDI#0880)報告了歷史Gochager Lake沉積物的鑽孔指示儲量爲4,262,400噸,品位爲0.295%Ni和0.081%Cu,可採用露天礦。 Fathom無法確認資源估計量,也無法確認用於編制儲量估計的參數和方法。這個估計值不被認爲符合NI43-101,需要進一步工作才能驗證這個歷史的鑽孔指示儲量。
