About Québec Nickel Corp.
Québec Nickel Corp. (CSE:QNI) is a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring and exploring nickel projects in Québec, Canada. The Company has a 100% interest in the Ducros Property, consisting of 280 contiguous mining claims covering 15,000+ hectares within the eastern portion of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in Québec, Canada. QNI’s objective is to discover Ni-Cu-PGE deposits by using modern exploration techniques and aggressive drilling programs.
Fortin Sill Zone
- Gabbro-pyroxenite-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE surface showing with historical grab samples returning up to 1.46% Cu, 0.49% and 3.32 g/t Pt-Pd-Au
- Limited drilling in 2008 by Golden Valley Mines Ltd. returned 0.38% Ni, 0.44% Cu and 0.65 g/t Pt-Pd-Au over 20.7 metres
- Recent step-out drilling by QNI intersected 1.85% Ni, 1.65% Cu and 3.27 g/t Pt-Pd-Au over 8.43 metres
- Q2 2022 channel sampling of the Fortin Sill discovery outcrop returned 1.30% Ni + Cu + 1.39 g/t Pt-Pd-Au over 13.00 metres and 1.08% Ni + Cu + 1.26 g/t Pt-Pd-Au over 14.45 metres
Ducros Ultramafic Sill Complex (DUSC)
- Limited drilling in the area during the 1980’s encountered a 3.5 km-long and 700-metre-wide ultramafic sill
- Historical regional-scale Québec government geophysical data and GIS compilation work indicate over 30 line-kilometres of ultramafic sills with numerous coincident electromagnetic anomalies (conductors) have never been drilled. VTEMTM and high-resolution drone-based magnetic surveys completed in 2022 support the geological model.
- Drilling program at the DUSC commenced in Q3 2022
Ducros Gabbro
- Poorly exposed ~5 X 5 km mafic intrusion largely inferred from airborne magnetic data
- Interpreted to be emplaced at the intersection of multiple deep-seated regional structures
- The intrusive has never been explored for Ni-Cu-PGE deposits and recently collected geophysical data indicate the intrusive body is multi-phased and/or layered; geophysical targets are being developed for drill testing this winter
