Québec Nickel Corp. Provides an Update of Exploration Activities at Its Ducros Project, Abitibi, Québec - Seite 4

Québec Nickel is exhibiting at PDAC 2022, and we invite conference attendees to visit with Company representatives at the Investor Exchange in the South Building of the Metro Toronto Convention Center from June 13 to 15, 2022, at booth #3239. We will be on hand to discuss the results of the ongoing drilling program as well as our work plans for the rest of the year. Core from the recent drilling at the Fortin Sill Zone will also be on-hand for viewing.

Core Processing & QAQC
Québec Nickel has implemented a quality assurance and quality control (“QAQC”) program for its Ducros project drilling program, to ensure best practice for logging, sampling, and analysis of its drill core, and includes the regular insertion of geochemical blanks and multiple Ni-Cu-PGE certified reference material standards (CRM’s) into the sample stream.

Drill core is collected by Ducros project personnel from the drill daily and transported to QNI’s core logging facility in Val d’Or in secured core boxes. Logging is completed on a laptop and data are captured using fit-for-purpose computer software.

Core destined for geochemical analyses is identified and labeled by core logging geologists and is then sawed in half by a diamond blade saw using clean uncirculated water. One half of the NQ-diameter core sample is placed in a labeled and secured sample bag. The remaining half of the core sample is returned to their core box for archiving. All core samples are transported from QNI’s logging facility to AGAT Laboratories’ sample preparation facility in Val-d’Or in secured and numbered rice bags by project personnel.

AGAT Laboratories is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 standards. Analysis for precious metals (gold, platinum, and palladium) is completed by Fire Assay with an ICP-OES finish while analyses for nickel, copper, and 41 other elements are performed using AGAT’s 4 Acid Digest - Metals Package, with an ICP-OES finish.
