Power Nickel expands near surface copper, platinum, and palladium 5 km away from Main Nisk Deposit

Power Nickel Inc

Power Nickel Inc CEO Terry Lynch joined Proactive to share the exciting news of the initial assay results for hole PN-24-044, a pivotal component of the company's ongoing drill program at the Lion Discovery site. The outcomes have been overwhelmingly positive, with 15 out of 16 holes yielding promising results. Among the highlights, PN-24-044 revealed an impressive intersection, boasting 0.60 meters of 24.3 grams of gold, 5.7 grams of silver, 5.29% copper, 3.26 grams of palladium, 0.29 grams of platinum, and 3.31% nickel. These remarkable findings underscore the rich mineralization potential of the Lion Discovery area. The ongoing drill program, characterized by a standard fan drilling design, has been instrumental in systematically probing the presence of the mineralized zone. Thus far, the results have been nothing short of exceptional, with the current mineralized envelope extending to a minimum depth of 300 meters below the surface and spanning a lateral distance of at least 225 meters. Importantly, the mineralization remains open in all directions, hinting at the possibility of further discoveries. Based on the current interpretation, the mineralized zone is situated at the contact with the ultramafic rock, exhibiting a sigmoidal geometry. Notably, a high-grade shoot has been identified, steeply plunging to the north-northeast (NNE), adding another layer of complexity and excitement to the exploration efforts. As Power Nickel continues to analyze and interpret the data from its ongoing drill program, anticipation mounts for the release of additional assay results. These forthcoming findings are expected to provide further insights into the extent and richness of the mineralization at the Lion Discovery site, bolstering the company's confidence in its exploration endeavors. With each successful drill hole, Power Nickel edges closer to unlocking the full potential of the Lion Discovery area, reaffirming its commitment to value creation for its shareholders and stakeholders alike. Stay tuned for more updates as the company advances its exploration efforts and continues to unearth new opportunities in the dynamic world of mineral exploration.

US Global Investors says Costco’s Gold Sales are Shaking Up the Market

U.S. Global Investors

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to delve into the enduring allure and recent market dynamics surrounding gold. Over the span of the century, gold has consistently proven its mettle, outperforming the S&P 500 by an impressive margin of 50%. This enduring value of gold has been influenced by a myriad of factors, including deliberations among G20 finance ministers, central bank policies, and the tenets of modern monetary theory (MMT). Holmes underscored the significant role played by central banks in bolstering gold's prominence, noting a trend of consistent acquisitions dating back to 2010. Over the past two years alone, central banks have collectively added an average of 1000 tonnes of gold to their reserves annually, underscoring their enduring faith in the intrinsic value of this precious metal. Moreover, Holmes highlighted a fascinating retail trend that has emerged in recent times, exemplified by Costco's remarkable success in selling $100 million worth of gold wafers in a short span. Notably, a substantial portion of these sales were attributed to professional Asian women hailing from China and India, reflecting a deep-seated cultural affinity for gold within these demographics. This demographic segment, accounting for 60% of gold demand, is often referred to by Holmes as "the great love trade." The discussion further delved into the evolving landscape of gold purchasing, with notable shifts such as the Bank of Nova Scotia's exit from the gold market. In light of such developments, retailers like Costco have stepped up to meet consumer demand, making gold more accessible to a wider audience. Looking ahead, Holmes offered insights into potential future trends, including the anticipated impact on junior gold mining stocks and broader retail implications. He hinted at the possibility of gold's availability expanding into mainstream retail outlets, envisioning a scenario where major stores like Walmart could soon offer gold as part of their product offerings. As the conversation unfolded, it became evident that gold's enduring allure transcends mere investment value, embodying a cultural and historical significance that continues to resonate with investors and consumers alike. Stay tuned as U.S. Global Investors continues to navigate the intricate dynamics of the gold market and uncover opportunities for investors in this precious metal.

Fathom Nickel releases results from Q-1 drill program at Albert Lake Project

Fathom Nickel Inc

Fathom Nickel CEO Ian Fraser joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil the results of the Q1 drill program conducted at the company's Albert Lake Project. The program, characterized by the drilling of 6 holes totaling 1,386 meters, has yielded promising outcomes, with drillhole AL24077 intersecting 0.42% nickel over a significant intersection of 2.01 meters. A key highlight emphasized by Fraser is the nickel mineralization's host rock: orthopyroxenite. This particular geological formation is integral to the host rock assemblage identified at the nearby Rottenstone deposit, renowned for its exceptionally high-grade nickel, copper, and platinum group elements (PGE). The proximity of the mineralization to the historic Rottenstone deposit, located approximately 1.2 kilometers to the northeast, underscores the potential significance of this discovery. Of particular importance is the 10% nickel tenor defined in intervals comprising less than 3% sulphide in drillhole AL24077. This observation suggests the possibility of net-textured to massive sulphide mineralization occurring along strike, and potentially at depth, within the same ultramafic unit. If realized, this could pave the way for the development of a mineral deposit boasting metal grades akin to those of the historic Rottenstone deposit, marking a significant milestone in Fathom Nickel's exploration journey. Fraser also provided an update on drilling activities at the flagship Gochager Lake Project, noting that drilling has been successfully completed. Assay results from this drilling program are eagerly anticipated and are expected to be released by the end of May, providing further insights into the project's mineral potential and setting the stage for future exploration efforts. As Fathom Nickel continues to advance its exploration initiatives, these recent developments underscore the company's commitment to unlocking the full potential of its projects and delivering value to its stakeholders. Stay tuned for further updates as Fathom Nickel navigates the dynamic landscape of mineral exploration and continues to pursue its strategic objectives with vigor and determination.
