SPC Nickel delays West Graham Project deadlines amid new drilling data

SPC Nickel Corp. has pushed back key deadlines for its West Graham Project in Canada. The company also announced updates on drilling and resource estimates for the nickel-copper site. These changes follow recent studies and exploration work at the property. The company has extended the Feasibility Study deadline for the West Graham Project to June 30, 2027. This follows a pre-feasibility level Metallurgical Study, which has now been completed. Over 16,700 metres of drilling have also taken place at the site.

Current estimates show the project holds 19.3 million tonnes of Indicated resources, grading 0.42% nickel and 0.28% copper. An additional 3.3 million tonnes of Inferred resources grade at 0.37% nickel and 0.28% copper. A Cooperation Agreement amendment has also moved the extension option date. It now runs until June 30, 2029, instead of the previous 2028 cutoff.

The updated timelines give SPC Nickel more time to assess the West Graham Project's potential. With drilling complete and resource estimates in place, the company can now focus on the next phase of development. The extended deadlines align with ongoing technical and operational planning for the site.
