(NKL - TSX Venture), is pleased to announce that it is mobilizing in preparation for drilling at Big Nic.\n\nThe company announced that it has commenced work at the Big Nic project. Recent warm weather has melted most of the remaining snow pack allowing crews to start work establishing drill sites. We expect to commence drilling within 1-2 weeks. Core will be transported to our base in Hope where it will be split and sent for assay. As has been the case lately we expect that it will be some time before assays are received. \n\nThe 2008 drill program will focus on targets identified during April 2008, the Company program of ground geophysics. These targets were developed on the Big Nic property as a follow-up on a number of targets that were identified through reprocessing of previous airborne geophysical data and previous geological mapping and sampling.\n\nMichael Sweatman, president, stated, \"We are excited that we are back to work early in the season on Big Nic as we started late last year and the early onset of weather shortened our program. Last year's program highlighted the complexity of the geology in the area which was the case at Giant Mascot which had 26 ore bodies that had limited horizontal expression. One of the largest was reported as 76.2m by 30.5 (2,324 square meters).\"\n\nThe technical aspects of the work are being overseen by Apex Geoscience Ltd. of Edmonton, Alberta. In addition our technical advisor Bob Brodzowski will be reviewing data as it becomes available. \n\nAbout Pacific Coast Nickel Corp.\n\nPacific Coast Nickel Corp is actively exploring properties which are prospective for nickel and copper.
