Highlights included an estimated high grade underground Indicated resource of 14.5 million tonnes at 2.1 % nickel equivalent, as well as a resource that starts at surface and could be amenable to open pit mining in addition to near surface underground mining methods.

Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund (TSX:CHE.UN), meanwhile, reported that its third-quarter 2022 revenue rose 42% year over year to C$519.9 million. The provider of industrial chemicals and services also upped its adjusted EBITDA guidance for a third consecutive quarter to a range of C$420 million to C$430 million, from C$360 million to C$380 million previously. Chemtrade units moved up 11% to $8.38 following the announcement.

In addition, shares of Logiq, Inc (OTCQX:LGIQ) powered 25% higher to $0.56 as the provider of digital consumer acquisition solutions said it recently signed a managed services contract with an undisclosed client that is estimated to generate $2 million to $3 million in revenue per month going forward.
