Nordic Nickel reported assay results for its first hole drilled at the Pulju Nickel project in Northern Finland. Drill hole HOT001, drilled to a depth of 1110m intersected multiple, wide zones of nickel mineralization, returning e.g. 94.15m @ 0.2% Ni from 6.4m, 38.7m @ 0.26% Ni from 149.3m, 38m @ 0.18% Ni from 226m, 93.3m @ 0.17% Ni from 276m or 50.85m @ 0.16% Ni from 395.15m. The assay results indicate that on average 83% of the total Ni occurs as Ni in sulfide minerals for the upper sequence from 6.4 to 624m, while a deeper sequence (788.15 -1072.65m) returned a significantly higher amount of Ni in silicates. Drilling is ongoing, with currently 16 holes for a total of 10966m completed.
