First Atlantic Nickel Stock Price, News & Analysis

First Atlantic Nickel (OTCQB: FANCF) has announced significant drill results from its Atlantic Nickel Project in Newfoundland. The initial discovery hole AN-24-02 at the RPM Zone intersected 0.24% nickel and 0.32% chromium over 383.1 meters, with peak values of 0.31% nickel and 2.61% chromium.

The RPM Zone discovery, located 10km downstrike from Super Gulp, revealed mineralization across a 500m x 400m footprint. All four Phase 1 drill holes intersected large-grain awaruite, with grain sizes frequently exceeding 500 microns. The company plans to expand this zone in the upcoming Phase 2 drill program.

The project is fully funded by a recent $3M strategic non-dilutive raise. Davis Tube Recovery metallurgical testing is currently underway to evaluate magnetic separation potential. The mineralization remains open at depth beyond 394.1 meters, suggesting potential for a large-tonnage nickel deposit.

First Atlantic Nickel Corp (FANCF) has announced significant drill results from its Super Gulp Zone at the Atlantic Nickel Project in Newfoundland. The initial drill hole AN-24-01 intersected 0.25% nickel and 0.28% chromium over 293.8 meters, with peak values reaching 0.32% nickel and 0.8% chromium.

The discovery represents a major step-out within the company's 30-kilometer nickel trend, located 16 km south of the Atlantic Lake Zone. The mineralization contains large awaruite grains (up to 271 microns), suitable for magnetic separation processing. The company is currently conducting Davis Tube Recovery metallurgical testing and preparing for Phase 2 drilling, supported by a recent $3M strategic raise.

The drill hole significantly exceeded historical drilling depths in the area, suggesting potential for a large-tonnage nickel deposit. The mineralization remains open at depth beyond 297 meters, with additional Phase 1 drill results pending.

First Atlantic Nickel (TSXV: FAN, OTCQB: FANCF) announces significant expansion in drilling at the RPM Zone within its Atlantic Nickel Project in Newfoundland. RPM Drill Hole 4, a 400-meter step-out, intersected 402 meters of visible awaruite nickel-alloy mineralization, with grains up to 732 microns.

The drilling confirms mineralization extending 400 meters long and 500 meters wide, remaining open in all directions. The company recently secured $3 million in strategic funding on February 14, 2025, fully funding the permitted Phase 2 exploration program. The Phase 2 program will utilize a newly constructed access road and focus on expanding the RPM Zone's boundaries.

The company plans a metallurgical process development testing program using composite samples from the RPM Zone, focusing on magnetic separation to produce a saleable nickel concentrate. All Phase 1 drill holes successfully intersected large-grain awaruite mineralization, setting the stage for continued expansion in Phase 2.

First Atlantic Nickel Corp (TSXV: FAN) (OTCQB: FANCF) has secured a $3 million senior unsecured debenture through a non-brokered debt private placement. This non-dilutive financing represents the company's largest individual capital funding transaction to date.

Key features of the debenture include:

• 9.5% annual interest rate with 5-year maturity (2030)
• Option to defer interest and principal payments until maturity
• Lender's option to convert principal plus interest into a 2% NSR royalty
• Company's right to buy back the royalty under specific terms

The proceeds will fund the company's Phase 2 Drill program, assays, and metallurgical testing at its Atlantic Nickel Project. No equity securities were issued, ensuring no immediate shareholder dilution, and no finder's fees were required as the transaction was completed directly with the lender.

First Atlantic Nickel Corp (FANCF) has secured a $3 million senior unsecured debenture through a non-brokered debt private placement. The debenture features favorable terms, including a 5-year deferral on all interest and principal payments, with a 9.5% annual interest rate. The funding will support the company's Atlantic Nickel Project, specifically financing the Phase 2 Drill program, assays, and metallurgical testing.

Key aspects include no immediate shareholder dilution as no equity securities will be issued to the lender at closing, and no finder's fees or commissions. The debenture matures in 2030, and the company can satisfy annual interest obligations by adding amounts to the principal, issuing common shares, or cash payments. The debenture holder has the option to receive a 2% net smelter return royalty instead of principal and interest repayment.

First Atlantic Nickel Corp (TSXV: FAN) (OTCQB: FANCF) has secured permits for its Phase 2 drilling program and southern access trail construction at the Atlantic Nickel Project in Newfoundland. The company has already begun preparations and trail construction.

The Phase 2 program aims to expand the recently discovered RPM Zone, focusing on extending mineralization towards the Chrome Pond occurrence and north to the Pipestone and Super Gulp targets. The program will utilize a higher-power drill rig capable of using both HQ and NQ drill core to enhance drilling speed and target depth.

The RPM Zone is located within a 30 km highly magnetic ultramafic ophiolite belt, characterized by wide intervals of heavily sheared and serpentinized peridotite ultramafic rock. The vertical orientation provides significant depth potential for mineralized zones, potentially extending to depths of 1 km or more.
