FAQ: Fathom Nickel's Gochager Lake Deposit Expansion and Exploration Update

What is the main announcement from Fathom Nickel?

Fathom Nickel announced that it has mapped the host rock of the historic Gochager Lake deposit consistently along strike for at least 3.5 kilometers northeast of the original deposit, significantly expanding the mineralized trend.

Why is this expansion significant for the Gochager Lake project?

This expansion significantly increases the mineralized trend and demonstrates that the deposit container rock and mineralization style extends well beyond the original deposit area, indicating greater exploration potential.

How did Fathom Nickel achieve this geological mapping expansion?

The company applied knowledge gained from drilling the historic deposit to surface exploration, using recent prospecting and portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) geochemistry results to map the host rock extension.

Who provided the statement about this development?

Ian Fraser, CEO and VP Exploration of Fathom Nickel, stated: ‘We have applied the knowledge gained from drilling the historic deposit to surface exploration and have now expanded the Gochager Lake deposit container rock significantly along strike.’

What additional results is Fathom expecting and when?

Fathom has received assays from its July 2025 program and expects additional rock and whole-rock geochemistry results from its September–October work by mid-November.

Where is the Gochager Lake project located?

The Gochager Lake Project is a 33,000+ hectare property located in the prolific Trans Hudson Corridor in Saskatchewan, Canada.

What type of mineralization is Fathom targeting at Gochager Lake?

Fathom is targeting nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization, specifically magmatic nickel sulphide discoveries, with multiple high-grade vertically oriented Ni-Cu-Co sulphide breccia mineralization zones identified.

What other projects does Fathom Nickel have in its portfolio?

Fathom has three exploration projects in Saskatchewan: the Albert Lake Project (90,000+ hectares), the Gochager Lake Project (33,000+ hectares), and the Friesen Lake Project (10,000+ hectares), all targeting magmatic nickel sulphide discoveries.

What is Fathom Nickel’s overall mission and purpose?

Fathom is an exploration company targeting magmatic nickel sulphide discoveries to secure the supply of North American Critical Minerals and support the global green energy transition.
