Surveys Unlock Potential High-grade Copper/Nickel Extensions Today, Alaska Energy Metals (Ticker: AEMC.v or AKEMF for US investors) unveiled promising results from its Canwell Property, a key component of the Nikolai Nickel Project situated in Alaska.
The company's President & CEO, Gregory Beischer, expressed enthusiasm about the findings, emphasizing the significance of both surface rock sampling assays and geophysical surveys.

During the summer of 2023, AEMC conducted extensive rock sampling, revealing three highly prospective areas for high-grade mineralization: Canwell, Odie, and Emerick.
The Canwell prospect, in particular, demonstrated surface rock sample assay results surpassing 5% nickel and 5% copper.
Notably, the sulfide mineralization discovered is enriched in platinum group elements, adding another layer of strategic importance to the project.
The geophysical surveys on the Canwell Property showed strong conductive zones with magnetic highs beneath surface nickel-copper anomalies.
Gregory Beischer highlighted the significance of the geophysical program results, indicating a potential extension of high-grade mineralization beneath the surface, beyond historical drilling.
AEMC plans to capitalize on this by conducting high-potential drilling in 2024 at the Canwell, Odie, and Emerick prospects.
In conjunction with the Canwell Property, the Eureka Property, forming the Nikolai Nickel Project, also underwent CSAMT surveys. The correlation between CSAMT results and known mineralization at the Eureka Zone further supports the exploration strategy.
