“In life you are often judged by the company you keep, and, in this respect, we think every Power Nickel shareholder wins through this association with some of the most legendary and successful mining investors on the planet. Clearly, they are as excited about the potential for Nisk as we are, and this raise will allow us to really ramp up our exploration efforts over the next 12-18 months.” commented CEO Terry Lynch.

Power Nickel is a Canadian junior exploration company focusing on developing the High-Grade Nickel Nisk project into Canada’s first Carbon Neutral nickel mine.
On February 1, 2021, Power Nickel (then called Chilean Metals) completed the acquisition of its option to acquire up to 80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (CRE: TSXV).
The NISK property comprises a large land position (20 kilometres of strike length) with numerous high-grade intercepts. Power Nickel is focused on expanding the historical high-grade nickel-copper PGM mineralization with a series of drill programs designed to test the initial Nisk discovery zone and to explore the land package for adjacent potential Nickel deposits.
In addition to the Nisk project, Power Nickel owns significant land packages in British Colombia and Chile. Power Nickel is expected to reorganize these assets in a related public vehicle through a plan of arrangement.
