Canada Nickel Company Inc. has confirmed strong nickel sulphide mineralization across several targets in its 2024 exploration program within Ontario’s Timmins Nickel District.
Major Discovery at Mann West and Ongoing Exploration at Mann Central and South
Canada Nickel drilled over 117,000 metres across 14 properties in the Timmins Nickel District. The company reported significant results at Mann West, Mann South, and Mann Central—all located within 100 kilometres of Timmins.
CEO Mark Selby announced that Mann West delivered especially strong mineralization across a 1.7 km by 0.6 km strike zone. The mineralization remains open in multiple directions, increasing the potential resource. Canada Nickel expects an initial resource estimate in Q1 2025.
Mann South and Mann Central also show consistent mineralization. Mann South’s 5.9 km by 1.2 km area has produced positive results from all 20 completed drill holes. Assays from 11 holes confirm serpentinized peridotite and dunite with visible sulphide content. Nine assay results remain pending.
Mann Central drilling covered 32 holes in total. Results from 27 holes completed in 2024 show continuous mineralization, especially at the center of the ultramafic body. Platinum group elements (PGE), including platinum and palladium, were also found in pyroxenite units near peridotite contacts.
Outlook: Strong Potential for Large-Scale Nickel Sulphide Resource
The Mann property is located 22 km east of Crawford. Canada Nickel owns 80% of the project, while Noble Mineral Exploration holds the remaining 20%. The company continues to focus on Mann West, Mann South, Mann Central, and Mann North.
According to SuperMetalPrice analysis, these results could position the Timmins Nickel District as a significant future supplier of nickel for electric vehicle batteries. The nickel sulphide trend across the region aligns with increasing demand in the clean energy and battery sectors.
Canada Nickel plans further drilling and expects updated resource estimates throughout 2025. With strong assay data and high-grade mineralization, the district is likely to become a major contributor to the North American critical minerals supply chain.
