The planned program will include two weeks of geological prospecting, rock sampling, geochemical sampling and mapping. Results from the field work will be incorporated into SPC Nickel's proprietary database and used to refine existing exploration targets, generate new exploration targets and to further advance SPC Nickel's understanding of the Muskox Intrusion.\n \n \n \n Grant Mourre\n \n , President and CEO of SPC Nickel commented,\n \n \"SPC Nickel's Muskox Project represents one of the few remaining district-scale magmatic nickel-copper sulphide exploration opportunities on the planet. The Project has all the characteristics of a district-scale opportunity, including size, (over 650 km\n \n 2\n \n ), the right...
