Quebec Nickel Corp (CSE:QNI, OTCQB:QNICF) has given investors an update on its ongoing 2022 exploration activities as well as its upcoming work programs at the Ducros polymetallic project in Quebec.
The firm has drilled 1,750 metres in eight holes at the new Fortin Sill nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE-gold zone, with over 4,600 metres completed in 16 holes for the Ducros project year-to-date, according to a release.
Vancouver-based Quebec Nickel said that the drill results, together with ongoing data compilation, suggest the disseminated, blebby and pseudo-net texture nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE-gold sulphide mineralization at the Fortin Sill zone is characterized by multiple geophysical signatures that extend for at least 250 metres in strike extent.

Drilling is now permitted, which will allow for the further evaluation and potential expansion of the zone, the group said in a statement.
Additional field work programs have begun with an expanded Ducros project team, it added.
The summer field program is expected to include channel sampling of the Fortin Sill outcrop; a property-wide biogeochemistry survey; high-resolution satellite imagery and UAV magnetic surveys over specific targets, and a fixed-wing gravity survey.
The Ducros project is located around 80 kilometres northeast of the town of Val-d’Or, Quebec.
Quebec Nickel has a 100% interest in the Ducros property, which consists of 280 contiguous mining claims covering 15,147 hectares within the eastern portion of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
