Any amounts in excess of projected 4.6 kg CO\n \n 2\n \n per tonne could be sold for carbon credits.\n \n \n \n \n \n TORONTO\n \n ,\n \n Nov. 10, 2021\n \n /CNW/ -\n \n Canada Nickel Company Inc.\n \n (\"\n \n Canada Nickel\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\n \n \") (TSXV: CNC)(OTCQX: CNIKF) is pleased to report the results of the first phase laboratory scale testing, which demonstrates the potential for carbon sequestration in tailings at its Crawford Nickel-Sulphide Project (\"Crawford\" or the \"Project\") near\n \n Timmins\n \n , Ontario.\n \n \n The laboratory tests were conducted by researchers from Kingston Process Metallurgy and Queen's University and demonstrate that the project tailings naturally sequester CO\n \n 2\n \n into a mineralized form, which industry research has demonstrated is permanent. This is a critical foundation of Canada Nickel's NetZero initiative to become the first zero carbon nickel operation. Canada Nickel's wholly-owned Net Zero Metals subsidiary has successfully applied and registered trademarks in various jurisdictions for NetZero Nickel™, NetZero Cobalt™ and NetZero Iron™ in expectation that the Company believes it can be successful in achieving its zero carbon initiatives.\n \n \n \n Mark Selby\n \n , Chair and CEO of Canada Nickel commented, \"Today's announcement is a critical demonstration that our tailings have the fundamental capacity to capture CO\n \n 2\n \n in amounts that exceed what we believe will be required to achieve net zero carbon production for our concentrates. Any CO\n \n 2\n \n sequestration in excess of the 4.6 kg per tonne...
