(TSXV:NNX) is a Canada-based mineral exploration company focused on nickel, copper, cobalt, and platinum group elements (PGE) properties; it holds an option to acquire up to 100% interest in the Hawk Ridge Project, a 50 km-long belt of magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulfide deposits spanning approximately 18,000 hectares in northern Quebec near tidewater, where over 23,000 meters of historical drilling have delineated four zones of mineralization including high-grade intercepts up to 3.12% nickel and 4.63% copper. The company targets critical minerals resources for battery and industrial applications, maintaining strong relations with local Inuit communities and commitment to sustainable development in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Quebec, which recognized Nickel North as a key player in its Critical and Strategic Minerals value chain plan in 2021.
