(TSX-V: EVNI) (\"EVNi\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has begun the Phase 4 drilling campaign, back at the High-Grade W4 Zone forming part of its Shaw Dome Project (see figure 1). The Company has engaged with Timmins-based, NPLH Drilling to begin its Phase 4 drill hole program, targeting the eastern expansion of the W4 Extension. The Phase 2 drilling program completed in 2022, began to define the W4 Extension and identified significant previously undiscovered nickel mineralization on the eastern most section (Section 497400mE), including 20.6 metres grading 1.23% Ni in EV22-17 and 15.70 metres grading 0.90% Ni in EV22-18 (see press release dated September 6, 2022). This drilling has started on a section 50 metres east of section 497500mE, targeting the interpreted plunge of the High-Grade nickel mineralization forming the W4 Extension. Additional holes will be drilled into the deposit to provide over 1000 kg of the W4 Zone as part of the ongoing metallurgical studies.Assay results are anticipated for the Phase 4 drill program in early Q2.\"Results from the Phase 2 program were so positive that further drilling was required to truly define the size potential of the W4 Extension,\" said Paul Davis, Vice President Exploration. \"Phase 4 has been designed to step out to the east from the identified mineralization on the W4 Extension. The Phase 4 program may be expanded further to the east, or at depth, depending on the results of the drilling. Every additional section of mineralization that EVNI identifies to the east on the W4 Extension will significantly impact the size potential of the Updated Resource Estimate that we plan to have completed on the overall W4 Zone later this year.\" About EV Nickel Inc.EV Nickel's mission is to accelerate the transition to clean energy. It is a Canadian nickel exploration company, focussed on the Shaw Dome Project, south of Timmins, Ontario. Th...
