[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 23, 2021) - Quebec Nickel Corp. (CSE: QNI) (\"Quebec Nickel Corp.\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the signing of a contract with Geotech Airborne Geophysical Surveys (\"Geotech\") to conduct a 1,479-line kilometre VTEMTM system survey over the Company's Ducros Nickel-Copper-PGE Prospect. For further details on the size and scope of the 2021 exploration program, please see the Company's August 4, 2021 press release for more information. David Patterson, Chairman of Quebec Nickel, noted that, \"The VTEMTM versatile helicopter time-domain EM system is the most widely used electromagnetic system currently in operation, with nearly 3M line-km flown to date globally. The VTEMTM System owes its popularity to its proven success rate for the widest variety of mineral deposit types, including VMS base metal, orogenic & epithermal Gold and most importantly for Quebec Nickel, its success in aiding Magmatic nickel-copper-PGE exploration.\" The airborne survey is expected to commence as soon as the VTEMTM system becomes available. Once the final data and report is received from Geotech, it is intended that there will be follow-up ground truthing, \"boots on the ground\" prospecting, \"beep-mat\" and sampling program over the defined \"priority\" EM targets prior to the end of the 2021 summer-fall field program. Currently, exploration activities on the Ducros Prospect include till sampling and overburden stripping of the various nickeliferous areas. The summer/fall field program results will provide the necessary data to design a winter 2021 drill program. Highlights on the Ducros Prospect Within the Company's Ducros Prospect, there is a Ni-Cu-PGE showing (the \"Pyroxenite Showing\"), hosted in an ultramafic sill-like intrusion (interpreted as dunite). The Pyroxenite Showing is exposed at a surface over 24 by 58 metres. A series of well-mineralized gossans, located along the eastern flank of the outcrop, host abundant pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Five grab samples were collected in the Autumn of 2004 from the area of the Pyroxenite Showing. The best results were from Sample 116101, which yielded 0.67 gpt Au, 1.46 % Cu, 0.49% Ni, 0.86 gpt Pt, and 1.79 gpt Pd. The southern part of the exposed pyroxenite body was channel sampled in August 2007. The 5.08 m channel yielded 1.30...
