[{"type":"text","content":" Tremblay-Olson Claims area has returned the highest concentration of metals-in-soil collected to date at the Albert Lake Property. Highest individual metal-in-soil assays returned up to: 743ppm Ni, 547ppm Cu, 946ppb Pd, 575ppb Pt and 175ppb Au. Highest individual 3PE soil sample returned 1.21 g/t (Pd+Pt+Au). Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - January 17, 2023) - Fathom Nickel Inc. (CSE:FNI) (FSE: 6Q5), (OTCQB: FNICF) (the \"Company\" or \"Fathom\") is pleased to announce soil geochemistry results collected from the Tremblay-Olson Claims area at the Albert Lake Property. The Tremblay-Olson Claims (see Press Release Oct, 31, 2022) refer to an area of strategic importance in which there has been no exploration work performed since 1987 and includes two known mineralized ultramafic occurrences - the \"Tremblay-Olson\" and the \"NIC-5\". The Tremblay-Olson Claims area is immediately along trend to the south-southwest of the historic Rottenstone Mine, a past producer of high-grade nickel, copper and platinum group elements. Soil Geochemistry Highlights: The Tremblay-Olson Claims area has returned the highest concentration of anomalous nickel, copper, palladium plus platinum in soil samples collected thus far at the Albert Lake Property; Highest individual metal-in-soil assays returned up to: 743ppm Ni, 547ppm Cu, 946ppb Pd, 575ppb Pt and 175ppb Au; The 946ppb Pd result, when combined with the Pt and Au result of that sample, yields 1.209 g/t 3PE (Pd+Pt+Au); 37% of soil samples (360 of 977) collected at the Tremblay-Olson Claims area returned anomalous (>90th percentile, Ni >15.6ppm;) to very anomalous (>97th percentile, Ni >28.96ppm;) nickel-in-soil assay results; 48% of all very anomalous Ni-in soil samples collected at the Albert Lake Property are within the Tremblay-Olson Claims area; Coincident with Ni-in-soil anomalies are chrome (Cr), cobalt (Co) and magnesium (Mg); associated pathfinder elements and a good indicator of nearby ultramafic source(s); Commenting on the results, Ian Fraser, CEO and VP Exploration stated, \"We are very excited with the results from the fall soil geochemistry program at the Tremblay-Olson Claims area. It is indeed rare to get in excess of 1 gram/tonne of platinum and palladium in a soil sample. The elevated nickel-copper in soils, the size and robustness of anomalies now defined, an...
