Exciting Nickel Discoveries Highlight Class 1's Exploration
Class 1 Nickel’s River Valley Project Exploration Highlights
Class 1 Nickel and Technologies Limited (CSE: NICO | OTCQB: NICLF) is thrilled to share the latest results from its exploration efforts at the River Valley PGE-Cu-Ni Project. The project, located in Ontario, Canada, has shown promising signs of mineralization, specifically platinum group elements (PGE), copper, and nickel.
Recent Discoveries from 2025 Campaign
The recent prospecting and ground-truthing campaign uncovered a significant 3+ km PGE trend. This trend adds to the already compelling case for further exploration at the RV Project, which spans approximately 2,916 hectares of promising geological terrain. The findings confirm the presence of Contact-Style PGE-Cu-Ni mineralization, primarily hosted by the River Valley Intrusion.
Sampling Results
A total of 73 rock grab samples were obtained, revealing noteworthy assay results. Among these, several highlighted instances were:
- 0.96% Cu, 0.17% Ni, 0.47 g/t 3E (Pd + Pt + Au), and 3.28 g/t Ag.
- 0.54% Cu with a notable silver concentration of 0.54 g/t.
- 1.11 g/t 3E, indicating a strong concentration of precious metals.
- The sampling campaign initiated new targets for follow-up with ground geophysics and a potential drilling campaign.
Future Geophysical Programs
To complement these promising results, the company is preparing a surface geophysics program targeting the North PGE Trend and the Crerar PGE Trend. CEO David Fitch voiced confidence in the future of the project, indicating that combined results from surface sampling and previous airborne geophysical surveys have laid a strong foundation for continued exploration.
Underlying Geology and Historical Work
The geology underlying the RV Project is compelling, characterized by gabbroic to anorthositic rocks. The exploration efforts build upon earlier investigations, including a diamond drill program conducted in 2001, which indicated significant PGE grades within the Crerar PGE Trend. For example, one drill hole reported 0.30 g/t over 6.80 meters. This historical data continues to support further development of the area.
Exploration Strategy and Objectives
With the successful identification of PGE-bearing mineralization, Class 1 Nickel plans to advance its exploration strategy significantly. This includes not only mapping and sampling but also planning for drilling programs that promise to unlock more of the mineral potential present in the River Valley Project.
