[{"type":"text","content":"EV Nickel Targets Large Scale Nickel Potential of Carman-Langmuir AreaNOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR TO US WIRE SERVICESThe properties acquired earlier this year have had extensive historic exploration: mapping, surface sampling and diamond drilling, which have identified large dunitic bodies with elevated nickel contentsDunitic/peridotitic units are exposed in outcrop and are estimated to extend over at least 8 kilometres of strike on EV Nickel property, across a section of Carman and Langmuir TownshipsEVNi will now sample the outcrops to verify the nickel potential of the area, planning to start in late springAfter the updated surface sampling, EVNi plans to be drilling the area later this yearTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 17, 2022 / EV Nickel Inc. (TSXV:EVNI) (\"EVNi\" or the \"Company\") is targeting the large-scale nickel potential of its Carman-Langmuir Zone located in Carman and Langmuir Townships, approximately 30 km southeast of Timmins, Ontario.Since acquiring the more than 21,000 hectares of neighbouring land earlier this year and tripling the Company's land package (see April 4, 2022 news release), the EVNi team has been focussed on the compilation and review of all available historical production and exploration data for the Shaw Dome district.Historically, the district produced from the Redstone, Langmuir #1 & #2, and McWatters mines, with grades ranging from 0.5% Ni (McWatters) to 2.14% Ni (Redstone). In addition to this production, the Shaw Dome hosts the Hart Deposit and EVNi's W4 Zone, plus the permitted Redstone and Carshaw mills (as detailed in Figure 1).Historic Exploration DataThere are extensive exploration records and the team has been through a detailed review of the historic geological mapping, assay analysis and diamond drilling across the entire district. Historical work has been completed by the Ontario Geological Survey, the University of Alabama and several junior and major mining companies since the mid-1960s. Past exploration identified a greater than 8km long dunite-peridotite unit with elevated nickel contents within EV Nickel's recently acquired Carman Property Group, with mining claims spreading across Carman and Langmuir Townships.Geological mapping of outcrop exposures in the area with the aid of air photos in the 1970s identified a ridge of ultramafic dunite ...
