The market is likely to react positively to NiCAN's expanded land position and the new gold discovery, as it enhances the company's exploration potential for both gold and nickel. This could lead to increased investor interest and a potential rise in NiCAN's stock price, especially with gold prices at all-time highs.

Mining Mineral Exploration

NiCAN Limited has significantly expanded its land position at the Pipy South Project in Thompson, Canada===Manitoba, by adding 13 adjacent claims covering approximately 30.5km2. This brings the total Pipy South land package to 45.75km2. The expansion follows NiCAN's recent near-surface gold discovery and aims to broaden exploration efforts for both gold and nickel deposits. The newly acquired claims cover a large interpreted anticlinal structure with potential for iron formations and host the requisite Pipe Formation for nickel mineralization. NiCAN plans immediate follow-up diamond drilling and a summer exploration program to further define the emerging gold system and identify additional mineralized zones. The Pipy South Project is part of an Exploration Agreement with Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation.
