Drone MAG survey highlights include:

无人机磁力调查的亮点包括:

  • Multiple and significant magnetic (MAG) anomalies neatly correlate with numerous multi-element (Ni-Cu-Co-Cr±Mg) anomalies defined by the recently completed soil geochemistry program (Figures 1 & 2).
  • Areas of higher MAG intensity, directly associated with Ni-Cu-Co-Cr±Mg in soil anomalies, are further evidence of both extensions of known mafic to ultramafic rock in the subsurface at the Gochager Lake Property, as well as newly discovered mafic/ultramafic occurrences.
  • MAG results further highlight priority areas that will be the subject of ground follow-up and surface geophysical surveys ahead of drill testing.
  • 多个重要的磁性(MAG)异常与最近完成的土壤地球化学方案所定义的多元素(Ni-Cu-Co-Cr±Mg)异常明显相关(见图1和2)。
  • 与土壤异常中的Ni-Cu-Co-Cr±Mg直接相关的更高磁性区域进一步证明了Gochager Lake Property地下已知MAFIC到超基性岩的延伸,以及新发现的MAFIC/超基性岩事件。
  • MAG结果进一步突出了将成为地面跟进和地表地球物理调查重点区域的优先考虑。

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 3, 2024) - Fathom Nickel Inc. (CSE: FNI) (FSE: 6Q5) (OTCQB: FNICF) (the "Company" or "Fathom") is pleased to announce the results from an unmanned aerial vehicle ("UAV" or drone) high-resolution geophysical (MAG) survey performed at the Company's 100% owned Gochager Lake Property.

加拿大卡尔加里-(Newsfile corp. - 2024年10月3日)- Fathom Nickel Inc.(CSE: FNI)(FSE: 6Q5)(OTCQB: FNICF)("公司"或"Fathom")很高兴宣布无人驾驶飞行器("UAV"或无人机)高分辨率地球物理(MAG)调查在公司100%拥有的Gochager Lake Property上进行。

Fathom contracted TUZO GeoSurveys Corp. to perform the drone MAG survey. The survey was flown from August 7 to 10, 2024, resulting in 367.2 line-kilometers flown. Data acquisition was conducted with traverse lines flown at an azimuth of 145° with 30 meter spacing, and tie lines flown at an azimuth of 055° with 300 meter spacing. In all, the survey area covered 9.58 km2 and was flown directly over the area covered by soil geochemistry in June 2024. The results of this survey confirm that UAV is a very cost-efficient means of collecting high-resolution magnetic data and has contributed significantly to Fathom's understanding of the dynamic, historic Gochager Lake deposit and surrounding area.

Fathom委托TUZO GeoSurveys Corp.执行无人机磁力调查。此次调查于2024年8月7日至10日飞行,飞行了367.2公里的航线。数据采集进行时,横越线以145°方位飞行,间距30米,系线以055°方位飞行,间距300米。总体而言,调查区域涵盖了9.58平方公里,直接飞越了2024年6月土壤地球化学覆盖的区域。这次调查结果证实了UAV是一种非常经济高效的收集高分辨率磁性数据的手段,并对Fathom对动态历史Gochager Lake矿床及周围地区的了解有重要贡献。

Ian Fraser, CEO and VP Exploration stated, "We are very pleased with the results of the drone MAG survey and look forward to additional surveys of this type as we continue to explore the Gochager Lake Property. The detail from this survey provides a clearer perspective than the historic 2008 VTEM data from which we have been working with to date. This new MAG data, along with results of the summer soil geochemistry and mapping / prospecting results, is further confirmation that the "container" rock that hosts the Gochager Lake deposit, is very much open along strike. The MAG survey also further reveals the structural complexity of the deposit area. We were very intrigued to see the "eye-like" signal within our expanded footprint and the excellent correlation between MAG and soil geochem results. The eye-like feature is possibly mapping a dilatant zone within a broad regional feature we interpret to be the possible magma conduit of the Gochager Lake deposit. The survey area has not closed off these encouraging trends. Like the soil geochemistry results, expansion of the MAG survey is required along strike. Detailed MAG, soil geochemistry and surface EM surveys are proving to be very successful as we continue to build an inventory of high priority drill targets at the Gocher Lake Property."

首席执行官兼VP Exploration Ian Fraser表示:“我们对无人机磁力调查的结果感到非常满意,并期待在继续探索Gochager Lake Property时进行这种类型的额外调查。这次调查的细节提供了比我们迄今为止一直使用的2008年VTEm数据更清晰的视角。这些新的MAG数据,与夏季土壤地球化学和测绘/勘探结果一起,进一步证实了寄主Gochager Lake矿床的“容器”岩石沿走向仍然开放。MAG调查还进一步展示了矿床区域的结构复杂性。我们非常好奇地看到我们扩大的覆盖区内的“眼状”信号与土壤地球化学结果之间的出色相关性。这种“眼状”特征可能正在描绘Gochager Lake矿床的可能岩浆导管中的一个膨胀带。调查区域未关闭这些鼓舞人心的趋势。与土壤地球化学结果一样,需要沿走向扩展MAG调查。详细的磁性、土壤地球化学和地表Em调查正在证明在继续在Gocher Lake Property建立高优先级钻探目标库时非常成功。”

Completion of Second Year Anniversary Payment of Gochager Lake Earn-In Agreement

完成GoCharger Lake赚取协议两周年付款

Fathom is also pleased to report that both the cash payment and share issuance for the second-year anniversary of the Gochager Lake Earn-In Agreement (the "Agreement") has now been completed. Under the terms of the Agreement, Fathom was required to make a cash payment of $30,000 and issue 250,000 shares in order to complete the Second Anniversary requirements. However, at the request of the vendor, the terms of the Second Anniversary requirements were amended to reduce the cash payment to $22,500 and increase the share issuance to 500,000 (the original 250,000 shares and additional 250,000 shares valued at $0.03 per share).

Fathom也很高兴地宣布,已完成GoCharger Lake赚取协议(“协议”)的第二周年现金支付和股票发行。根据协议条款,Fathom需要支付3万美元现金并发行25万股,以完成第二周年的要求。 然而,应供应商的要求,第二周年要求的条款已经修改,将现金支付降低到2.25万美元,并增加股票发行量至50万股(原始25万股),另外的25万股的每股价值为0.03美元。

Commenting on the Agreement, Doug Porter, President and CFO stated, "We were pleased when the Gochager Lake vendor approached us and requested an amendment to the Agreement to weigh more heavily towards the share issuance. This clearly demonstrates the vendor's continued belief in the potential of the Gochager Lake Property. With the required exploration spend of $2 million on qualifying exploration expenditures now also completed, we only have the final cash payment of $40,000 and the final issuance of 350,000 shares (required by September 16, 2025) in order to complete the earn-in of 100% of the Gochager Lake Project1."

就协议发表评论时,总裁兼首席财务官道格·波特表示:“当GoCharger Lake供应商接近我们并要求修改协议以更加偏向股票发行时,我们感到高兴。这清楚地表明供应商对GoCharger Lake物业潜力的持续信心。现在,完成了2,000,000美元的必要勘探支出,并且我们只需支付40,000美元的最终现金款项以及最终发行35万股(在2025年9月16日前要求)即可完成对GoCharger Lake项目1的全部赚取。”

1- Subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return ("NSR") Royalty. The NSR can be bought down to 1% based on a payment of $1,000,000 at Fathom's option.

About Fathom Nickel Inc.

关于Fathom Nickel Inc.

Fathom is an exploration company that is targeting magmatic nickel sulphide discoveries to support the rapidly growing global electric vehicle market and to secure the supply of North American Critical Minerals.

Fathom是一家勘探公司,旨在发现岩浆镍硫化物,以支持快速增长的全球电动汽车市场,并确保北美重要矿物的供应。

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 Mine2 (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% Cu3, 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.

公司现在在萨斯喀彻温省富有产矿带拥有三个高质量的勘探项目组合:1) 阿尔伯特湖项目,占地超过90,000公顷,曾是历史悠久的Rottenstone矿山(1965-1969年产出28,724吨@3.3% Ni, 1.8% Cu, 9.63 g/t 3E (Pd-Pt+Au)),2) 高查格尔湖项目,占地超过22,000公顷,曾拥有一座历史悠久、未符合NI43-101标准的露天资源矿坑,含430万吨0.295% Ni和0.081% Cu,3) 弗里森湖项目,占地超过10,000公顷,位于历史悠久的Rottenstone矿山西南40公里处,以及历史悠久的高查格尔湖矿床西北30公里处。

2 - 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.

2 - 萨斯喀彻温省矿产指数报告(SMDI#0958)显示上述生产品位来自一个小型露天矿坑。Fathom无法确认生产数字或者可能在生产之前存在的历史资源估算。这座历史悠久的矿坑确实存在,公司信任SMDI#0958中所述的生产数据准确无误。公司对Rottenstone型矿化进行了测试化验,结果与生产品位一致。

3 - 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.

3 - 萨斯喀彻温矿产储量指数(SMDI#0880)报告,历史上的Gochager Lake矿床探明储量为4,262,400吨,品位为0.295%Ni和0.081%Cu,可通过露天采矿。Fathom无法确认资源估计,以及准备储量估计所使用的参数和方法。此估计不符合NI43-101标准,需要进一步工作验证这一历史上探明的储量。
