Nickel Creek Platinum Corp. reported updated Phase 2 Metallurgical Program, performed by Expert Process Solutions ("XPS"), yielded encouraging results indicating potential viability of separating saleable copper and nickel concentrates at the company's 100%-owned Nickel Shäw Project, located in the Yukon Territory of Canada. The company commenced its Phase 2 Metallurgical Program in September 2017 with an initial focus on flowsheet optimization and batch scale testing to determine the viability of split concentrate production prior to advancing to Mini Pilot Plant ("MPP") steady state testing. The bulk concentrate produced in open-circuit separation was also assessed by QEMSCAN (Quantitative Evaluation of Minerals by Scanning Electron Microscopy) to confirm mineralogy and compare theoretical grade/recovery relationship with that of the closed-circuit simulation projections. This metal split factor approach, combined with a confirmation of mineralogy, facilitates advanced evaluation of the conditions required to achieve effective concentrate separation and determine targets for future work. The results of batch scale metallurgical testing were encouraging and, although preliminary in nature, indicate the potential for the production of separate saleable copper and nickel concentrates. The ultimate grades and recovery of the concentrates produced by Cu-Ni separation will be dependent on tests of bulk concentrate processed through steady state evaluation in the MPP. The MPP testing is expected to commence in first quarter 2018 utilizing the bulk of the drilled-out material earmarked for metallurgical testing.
