Nordic Nickel reported assays from seven additional drill holes from its phase 1 drilling program at the Hotinvaara project. Highlighted results include e.g., 117.9m @ 0.22% Ni from 4.1m in drill hole HOT013, or 103.2m @ 0.19% Ni from 37.55m in HOT019. According to the company partial leach assaying confirms the predominance of nickel sulfide in the assays received to date. The company is currently working on an update for the Hotinvaara mineral resource, which to date stands at 133.6Mt @ 0.21%Ni, 0.01% Co. Assay results for an additional 14 holes are pending.
