[{"type":"text","content":"Pure Nickel Commences Exploration at the MAN Alaska PropertyToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 23, 2013) - Pure Nickel Inc. (TSX: NIC) (the \n\"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced its exploration program \non the MAN Alaska property. Activity in 2013 will consist primarily of a 2200 \nmetre drill program utilizing one helicopter supported drill rig. \nThe work program will focus on a zone of Nickel (Ni) - Copper \n(Cu) - Platinum Group Element (PGE) mineralization, informally termed the Eureka \nzone, identified in the Alpha mafic - ultramafic complex in 2012. The Alpha \ncomplex is one of five discrete mafic - ultramafic complexes located on the \n47,000 ha MAN property in south-central Alaska.\nThe Eureka zone consists of a broad interval of disseminated \nsulphide mineralization that straddles the contact between gabbroic and \nultramafic rocks in the northern half of the Alpha complex. The zone was \nencountered in 2010 drill holes PNI-10-35 and PNI-10-36, and 2012 drill hole \nPNI-12-063 confirmed the continuity of the mineralization. A review of historic \ndrilling on the property has shown that all drill holes that intersected the \ncorrect stratigraphic interval encountered similar disseminated sulphide \nmineralization and a table of drill intersections is provided below.\nEureka Zone Drill Intercepts: \nDrillhole \n From \n To \n 1Length (m) \n \n Pt+Pd+Au (ppb)2 \n Cu (%) \n Ni (%)  PNI-12-063 \n 146.55 \n 227.50 \n 80.95 \n 315 \n 0.17 \n 0.25  Including \n 146.55 \n 164.50 \n 17.95 \n 347 \n 0.20 \n 0.24  Including \n 185.50 \n 204.52 \n 19.02 \n 398 \n 0.21 \n 0.28  PNI-10-036 \n 260.50 \n 426.00 \n 165.50 \n 272 \n 0.13 \n 0.28  Including \n 286.00 \n 325.00 \n 39.00 \n 329 \n 0.14 \n 0.31  Including \n 286.00 \n 291.20 \n 5.20 \n 420 \n 0.24 \n 0.40  PNI-10-035 \n 277.00 \n 309.00 \n 32.00 \n 169 \n 0.10 \n 0.23  PNI-10-035 \n 391.00 \n 401.00 \n 10.00 \n 118 \n 0.13 \n 0.30  PNI-10-033 \n 385.00 \n 416.00 \n 31.00 \n 100 \n 0.08 \n 0.24  PNI-10-029 \n 240.00 \n 334.00 \n 94.00 \n 150 \n 0.06 \n 0.22  PNI-10-028 \n 417.00 \n 471.00 \n 54.00 \n 147 \n 0.10 \n 0.24  Including \n 459.00 \n 471.00 \n 12.00 \n 126 \n 0.16 \n 0.23  PNI-10-030 \n 556.22 \n 565.00 \n 8.78 \n 162 \n 0.10 \n 0.23  PNI-10-030 \n 503.00 \n 511.00 \...
