Nordic Nickel announced the commencement of a 280-hole, 2240m bottom of till (BOT) drill program at its recently granted Holtinvaara exploration permit, several kilometers northeast of its existing Hotinvaara JORC resource. The sampling program aims to test a prospective magnetic anomaly that is located within the interpreted extension of the prospective ultramafic trend seen at Hotinvaara. Historic BOT sampling in the area returned up to 0.4% Ni and 539ppm Cu.
