(TSX: NCP) (\"\n \n Nickel Creek\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\n \n \") is pleased to announce preliminary results from work being conducted on behalf of the Company by Dr.\n \n Gregory Dipple\n \n at CarbMinLab,\n \n University of British Columbia\n \n . This preliminary work indicates that samples taken from the Wellgreen deposit at Nickel Creek's Nickel Shäw Project contain key magnesium-rich minerals that are known to react quickly with carbon dioxide (CO\n \n 2\n \n ) in air, such as the mineral Brucite, indicating a significant potential for carbon absorption.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"\n \n We started this work with Dr. Dipple in order to work towards an understanding of the potential carbon absorption of our tailings and waste rock that will reduce or even eliminate our greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint.\" commented\n \n Stuart Harshaw\n \n , President and Chief Executive Officer of Nickel Creek, \"Having a low carbon nickel product will be beneficial to the downstream processers of our nickel, especially the EV market, where reducing the carbon footprint is a critical part of the green economy.\"\n \n \n A summary of the results is presented below with a detailed summary also available on our website.\n \n \n \n Summary\n \n \n \n The Wellgreen deposit, which forms part of the Company's Nickel Shäw Project, contains extensive Ni-Cu-Platinum-Group Elements (PGE) mineralization within mafic to ultramafic rocks. It was assessed for its potential for carbon capture and storage based on samples provided by Nickel Creek. These samples consisted of 45 mineralized pulp and 2 slurry samples that were analyzed for mineral content to assess the abundance of gangue minerals that are known to be reac...
