Executive Summary

  • Fathom Nickel reports that its 2025 soil geochemistry program has expanded the favourable Ni‑in‑soil footprint at the Gochager Lake project to over 8.6 km of strike length.
  • The program collected 2,998 B‑horizon samples (including 86 field duplicates) and identified a robust new Ni anomaly measuring 1,500 m × 400 m located ~2.7 km southwest of the historic deposit.
  • No rock assay results are yet available; final interpretations will be provided once the pending rock assays are received.

Key Details

  • Program Scope: 2,998 B‑horizon soil samples collected using a 100 m × 50 m grid (with detailed 50 m × 50 m sub‑grid in key areas).
  • Geochemical Footprint: Ni anomalies define a NE‑SW linear feature >8.6 km; mineralized variable‑texture gabbro mapped over >3.5 km within this corridor.
  • New Anomaly: A high‑grade Ni soil anomaly (1,500 m × 400 m) identified ~2.7 km SW of the historic Gochager Lake deposit.
  • Statistical Thresholds (combined 2024‑2025 data):
  • 99th percentile > 306 ppm Ni (50 samples)
  • 98th percentile > 201 ppm Ni (47 samples)
  • 95th percentile > 87.2 ppm Ni (144 samples)
  • 90th percentile > 48.2 ppm Ni (240 samples)
  • QA/QC: 86 duplicate samples collected; internal QA/QC performed to monitor contamination. Samples processed by ALS Canada Ltd. using aqua regia digestion and ultra‑trace ICP‑MS analysis.
  • Qualified Person: Ian Fraser, P.Geo., CEO & VP Exploration, has verified the data per NI 43‑101.
  • Future Work: Final rock assay results from the fall prospecting program are pending; further announcements will follow upon receipt and interpretation of those results.

Notable Quotes

“The soil geochemistry results… demonstrate a favourable geochemical footprint that now extends over a strike length exceeding 8.6 kilometers… This is another step in validating the potential scale at the Gochager Lake project.” – Ian Fraser, CEO & VP Exploration, Fathom Nickel

Materiality Assessment: Non‑Material – Positive (exploratory data indicating expanded target area but no definitive resource or economic impact disclosed).
