Nordic Nickel Limited advised that the first of its two diamond drill rigs has now been delivered to the Company's Pulju Nickel Project in northern Finland. With the first diamond rig on site, the Company's 2023 exploration campaign can now commence, with multiple targets to be tested in the coming months at the Hotinvaara Prospect. This first rig will be used predominantly to test a number of the shallower geophysical electromagnetic (EM) anomalies detected during recent down-hole EM surveys1, as well as to expand and enhance the existing near-surface disseminated nickel sulphide Resource2.

Preparations are being finalised to take delivery of the second diamond drill rig at the Hotinvaara Prospect, which is expected to arrive around the third week of January. Nordic's exploration plan will see the Company drilling continuously for 14 months as it embarks on a potentially transformational exploration effort in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt.
