(TSXV: GIGA) today announced analytical results from 15 holes drilled in 2021 on the Company's Turnagain Nickel/Cobalt Project.The 2021 work program included:Nine NQ resource infill holes totaling 4,214 metres within the Horsetrail and Northwest zones of the Turnagain deposit.Six HQ geotechnical holes totaling 2,082 metres sited on the margins of Horsetrail and Northwest zones of the Turnagain deposit to support pit engineering design.Seismic refraction survey in Flat Creek Valley in support of tailings management engineering design.\"The infill drilling is focused on later years in the mine life, at the edges of the pit design in our 2021 PEA,\" said Mr. Jarvis. \"The drilling was designed to allow for conversion of resources from the Inferred to the Indicated category, and we have not seen any surprises. The geotechnical holes within the proposed ultimate pit provided valuable geotechnical information and, where ultramafic rocks were intersected, are expected to move some Indicated resources to the Measured category. Additionally, the Company now has acquired valuable geotechnical and hydrogeological data with which to advance the project engineering.\"Technical InformationThis release provides analytical results from 15 holes from the 2021 drill program and the Turnagain Project. The drill program, conducted with two skid-mounted drill rigs, commenced on June 30, 2021 and ended October 12, 2021.Resource Infill Drilling ProgramThe infill drilling program was conducted with one skid-mounted drill rig in the Horsetrail and Northwest zones in areas of Inferred resources. Drill core samples were one-half NQ core.Table 1: Drill intercepts from the resource infill program1:HoleZoneFrom(m)To(m)Interval(m)Ni(%)Co(%)Pd(ppb)Pt (ppb)DDH21-307HTIncluding84.0020.00358.75 (EOH)98.00354.7578.000.2210.2320.0140.01526543590DDH21-308HTIncludingand6.956.95408.00477.62 (EOH)54.00440.00470.6747.0536.000.2140.2500.2520.0130.0140.013231828242426DDH21-309NW20.50726.41 (EOH)703.870.2110.0132324DDH21-312NWIncluding0.99216.00570.09 (EOH)360.00569.10144.000.2300.2600.0120.01420392240DDH21-315HT284.00465.43 (EOH)181.430.1970.0122426DDH21-317HTIncluding5.18184.00331.82 (EOH)264.00326.6480.000.2110.2550.013...
