Fathom Nickel Expands Geochemical Footprint to 8.6 Kilometers at Gochager Lake Project

Fathom Nickel Inc. (CSE: FNI) (FSE: 6Q5) (OTCQB: FNICF) announced preliminary results from its 2025 soil geochemistry program at the Gochager Lake project, revealing an expanded favorable geochemical footprint extending over 8.6 kilometers of strike length. CEO and VP Exploration Ian Fraser stated that the findings support the company's belief that the historic Gochager Lake deposit is part of a much larger mineralized trend with potential to host multiple magmatic Ni-Cu-Co sulphide deposits. This expansion represents a significant development in understanding the project's mineralization potential and scale.

The company's exploration work at the Gochager Lake project has confirmed vertical extension of Ni-Cu-Co mineralization a minimum of 150 meters below the historic deposit's interpreted boundary, with very good potential for expansion of mineralization in all directions. Multiple high-grade vertically oriented Ni-Cu-Co sulphide breccia mineralization zones and chutes occur within the historic deposit, and these zones remain open for further expansion and delineation in all directions. Surface mapping and soil/rock geochemistry has confirmed that the Gochager Lake deposit host rock extends a minimum 3.5 kilometers to the east-northeast and remains open for expansion along strike.

Fathom Nickel is an exploration company targeting magmatic nickel sulphide discoveries to secure the supply of North American Critical Minerals and support the global green energy transition. The company maintains a portfolio of three high-quality exploration projects located in the prolific Trans Hudson Corridor in Saskatchewan. The Albert Lake Project, spanning over 90,000 hectares, hosts the historic Rottenstone Mine and has shown promising results including the extension of high-grade Ni-Cu-Co+3E Rottenstone deposit mineralization to the south a minimum 40 meters, remaining open. Additional discoveries include a new Rottenstone-like discovery 500-550 meters west-northwest of the historic mine and similar mineralization intersected approximately 1.5 kilometers south-southwest of the historic mine.

The 33,000+ hectare Gochager Lake Project that is the subject of the current announcement hosts the historic Gochager Lake deposit. The company's third project, the 10,000+ hectare Friesen Lake Project, is located 40 kilometers southwest of the historic Rottenstone Mine and 30 kilometers northwest of the historic Gochager Lake deposit. The Friesen Lake property hosts the Olsen Cu-Ni-Pt Showing, described as an ultramafic dyke that historic trenching and drilling demonstrates Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd and Au mineralization within the ultramafic dyke. Final rock assays from the fall prospecting program remain pending, with further updates to be released following data interpretation.
