[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, British Columbia / Jun 13, 2022 / Business Wire / Québec Nickel Corp. (CSE: QNI; FSE: 7lB; OTCQB: QNICF) (“QNI” or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide a summary of its ongoing 2022 exploration activities as well as its upcoming work programs at the Ducros Ni-Cu-Co-PGE-Au Project, 80 kilometres northeast of Val-d’Or, Québec. Highlights: 1,750 metres drilled in eight holes at the new Fortin Sill Ni-Cu-Co-PGE-Au Zone, with over 4,600 metres completed in 16 holes for the Ducros project YTD. Drilling results in conjunction with ongoing data compilation suggests the disseminated, blebby and pseudo-net texture Ni-Cu-Co-PGE-Au sulphide mineralization at the Fortin Sill Zone is characterized by multiple geophysical signatures that extend for at least 250 metres in strike extent. A new drilling permit has been received from the Québec Government that will allow for the further evaluation and potential expansion of the Fortin Sill Ni-Cu-Co-PGE-Au zone. Additional field work programs have begun with an expanded Ducros Project team. 2022 YTD Diamond Drilling Program Québec Nickel’s inaugural multi-phase diamond drilling program at the Ducros project began in mid-February, and to date has completed 16 drill holes for a total of 4,612 metres with one diamond drill. The Phase I drilling program was designed to test multiple Ni-Cu-PGE targets generated from a surface electromagnetic survey (ARMIT-TDEM) completed in 2020 by Abitibi Geophysics in addition to completing several holes designed to gain a better understanding of the local geology and to explore at depth within this portion of the greater Ducros property. These Phase I holes were successful in intersecting their intended targets, which comprised predominantly of variably conductive and magnetic intervals of sulphide +/- oxide facies iron formation hosted within mixed sequences of mafic metavolcanics, metasediments and the occasional felsic intrusive unit. Of note, several of the Phase I holes encountered long core intervals of ultramafic rocks, interpreted to be strongly altered pyroxenite and dunite intrusive units (sills). Summary assay results for the Phase I drilling are presented in Table 2. The Phase II drilling program began in April at the Fortin Sill Ni-Cu-PGE showing and started with hole QDG-22-09, which was designed to verify the results returned from Golden V...
