(TSX: NCP) (\"\n \n Nickel Creek\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\n \n \") is pleased to announce further 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 ongoing work indicates significant uptake of CO\n \n 2\n \n from a composite sample in bench-top testing. The results indicate a carbon sequestration capability of approximately 34.4 kt CO\n \n 2\n \n per year (2.1 kt CO\n \n 2\n \n per Mt tailings).\n \n \n \n \"\n \n We are very excited to announce that we have demonstrated substantial carbon capture from the Wellgreen deposit,\" commented\n \n Stuart Harshaw\n \n , President and Chief Executive Officer of Nickel Creek. \"This represents an opportunity to capture carbon in the form of CO\n \n 2\n \n that will significantly reduce Nickel Creek's overall carbon footprint.  This will provide a value to the downstream processors of our nickel, in particular the EV battery 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 \n Summary\n \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 dominantly hosted in ultramafic rocks. It is being assessed for its potential for carbon capture and storage based on samples provided by Nickel Creek. Previous work at CarbMinLab confirmed the presence of brucite (a magnesium-rich mineral known to react quickly with CO\n \n 2\n \n in air) in subset of samples with concentrations ranging from 1 to 3% based on thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and leach tests.
