  • First Atlantic Nickel & Cobalt reported electron microprobe results from the RPM Zone at its wholly owned Pipestone XL Project, confirming high-grade awaruite mineralization that it is targeting for a mine-to-metal nickel-cobalt concentrate.
  • Awaruite averaged 77.62% nickel and 1.69% cobalt, with peak values of 86.68% nickel and 6.05% cobalt, based on 33 analyses from a composite spanning 96 meters of drill core in hole AN-24-02.
  • The company framed the sulfur-free, naturally magnetic nickel-iron-cobalt alloy as suitable for magnetic separation and flotation, positioning it as a potential way to bypass North American smelting constraints.
  • Microprobe work also identified chromite as the source of chromium at RPM, grading 60.2% Cr2O3, prompting a review of options to separate and process chromite alongside nickel-cobalt production.
  • Metallurgical testing continues on concentrate development, with drilling underway at the Alloy Max North and Alloy Max South zones.
