Nickel Creek Platinum Corp T.NCP

Alternate Symbol(s):  NCPCF

Nickel Creek Platinum Corp. is a Canada-based mining exploration and development company. The Company’s principal business activity is the exploration and evaluation of nickel and platinum group metals (PGM) mineral properties in North America. Its flagship asset is its 100%-owned nickel-copper PGM project, located in the Yukon Territory, Canada (Nickel Shaw Project). The project is in the southwest of Canada's Yukon Territory, approximately 317 kilometers (km) northwest (NW) of the capital, Whitehorse. The Nickel Shaw Project is a large undeveloped nickel sulphide project, with a unique mix of metals including copper, cobalt and platinum group metals. The Nickel Shaw Project has access to infrastructure, located three hours west of Whitehorse via the paved Alaska Highway, which further offers year-round access to deep-sea shipping ports in southern Alaska. The Company also maintains environmental baseline activities, considers optimization alternatives and seeks other opportunities.

2015 PEA PIT vs 2023 PFS PIT

2015 PEA PIT vs 2023 PFS PIT

Yellow boundary provides the visual of what they had in mind
for the Wellgreen in , 2015.

Robin blue perimeter, is a massive footprint.
Which included the 846 million tonne inferred.
Yet...if one calculates the true tonnage of this far larger footprint
it far exceeds the, 846 million tonnes.?

FROM GET GO....
Welgreen has been stigmatized with the
silicates, olivines, serpentines, peridotite, dunites.

What would happen if one begins X-ing out mineralized silicates and only
focuses on, gabbro, sulphides, clinopyroxine ores ?

My hunch says....
you'd end up with a patchy deposit creating lots of waste ores.

Exact same thing happens with,
running the model ( upper mafics + lower mafics )
Biasly choosing lower.

Investor fault ?
Nope.
Just poor choice of extraction.

just what is the difference between grade mineralization between
Upper ( Dunite + Oeridotite )  vs Lower ( Clino + Gabbro/ Sulphide )

Not much difference
https://s21.q4cdn.com/491660439/files/doc_news/fareast-578375E-web.jpg

Choose a Bias Extraction....?
86% loss of inferred
X ing out block models of perhaps peridotite/ based on extraction
Loss of tonnage sorting ore for headgrade
Further X ing of tonnage for percautionary measures
Skin factor ( pretty sure pfs said, 0.5% ) further percaution
= lots of buffers for future mine purchaser ( wink )

How can we be certain Wellgreen has seen a bias approach
only focusing on, specific ores ?


We could simply read the 89 pfs, and it says so.
Or, pull forward another junior who owned the Wellgreen to validate it.
It's the sulphides that are patchy....not the silicates.

Why would another Prez change the ore geology to majority peridotite
then run with an extraction that's not suited for, peridotite ?
lol

Marketwire - Feb 4, 2013) - Prophecy Platinum Corp.
Excerpt -
The East Zone contains many isolated massive sulphide lenses in and around the underground workings that occur near the base of the ultramafic host rocks. Though historic work focused on these massive sulphide bodies, as currently envisioned

Solution ?
Try DNi Extraction
Or....Carbonate conversion extraction ( former post ) 90 - 100% recovery.
What would Wellgreen look like then ?
No 86% tethers, No practical tethers, No headgrade sorting tethers etc...

Here is the 2015 vs 2023 Open Pit Comparison.
I figure...one could draw an even small inside perimeter
and it would represent the 2023 Pit Design.

Count the Benches - second image
i'm counting only 12 = 120m ( based on, 10m benches )


2015 PEA - PIT Boundary ( yellow )

https://s21.q4cdn.com/491660439/files/doc_news/2016-0422-nr-drillholes-aerial-planview-1024x689.jpg



2023 Pit Perimeter ( smaller ) shallower ???
Is central and west even included ?
Only 120m depth around main mine ?
Main mine + Johnson holes = 547m + 756m mineralized depths.



https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53289029629_056ab62452_c.jpg


How much X-d out silicate tonnage still mineralized ?
437 million resource tonnes + 550+m tonnes waste
= 1 bilion tonnes ( hello )
= try the carbonate extraction.


Cheers....
