SPC Nickel Launches 2026 Field Season at the Muskox Cu-Ni-PGM Project, Nunavut

SPC Nickel advances Muskox Cu-Ni-PGM exploration with a 2026 geophysics program targeting a 2027 drill campaign.

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Jun 16, 2026 · 07:00 SPC · 0.085 SPC Nickel Corp.
Executive Summary
  • SPC Nickel Corp. has initiated its 2026 summer exploration program at the 100%-owned Muskox Cu-Ni-PGM Project in Nunavut.
  • The program builds directly on 2025 results that identified 85 high-priority EM conductors across the Muskox Intrusion and its 60-km Feeder Dyke.
  • Key 2026 activities include a four-week ground EM survey in June, a ground MT survey from July through August, and ongoing prospecting/site assessment to prepare for a 2027 drilling campaign.
  • The ground EM survey targets the highest-priority conductors to refine shape, continuity, and depth. The MT survey covers a 17 km by 3.5 km corridor (~60 km²) to provide deeper subsurface penetration.
  • All technical elements are approved by Grant Mourre, P.Geo., CEO and President, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
Material Impact
  • The news represents a planned, incremental step in the company's exploration roadmap. It confirms that SPC Nickel is executing on the 2025 exploration findings and moving methodically toward drill-ready target definition.
  • There is no new financial data, resource update, or operational breakthrough. The announcement aligns with previous guidance and the company's stated exploration timeline.
  • The market impact is expected to be limited, as the program launch was anticipated following the strong 2025 EM survey and surface sampling results.

Company Overview
  • SPC Nickel Corp. is an exploration-stage company focused on high-grade polymetallic Cu-Ni-PGM mineralization in Tier-1 jurisdictions.
  • Flagship Project: Muskox Cu-Ni-PGM Project, a 496 km² district-scale land package in Nunavut covering the Muskox Intrusion and its Feeder Dyke. The project is comparable to world-class magmatic sulfide systems like Norilsk-Talnakh.
  • Other Assets: West Graham and Lockerby East projects in the Sudbury Mining Camp, Ontario. West Graham has a maiden NI 43-101 resource and positive metallurgical results. Lockerby East is undergoing deep drilling to test high-conductivity EM targets.
  • Development Stage: Exploration and target definition. No production or reserves have been declared.
