Overview

The Jejevo Nickel Project (PNM 80%) is an advanced stage direct shipping ore nickel laterite project. The project was previously drilled in 2013 and the initial objective is to do sufficient work to confirm a 2012 JORC Resource at the earliest opportunity. The remaining 20% of the project is held by local landowners through their interest in the holding company, Sunshine Minerals Limited (“SML”), a private company incorporated in the Solomon Islands.

Current Work Program & Development Pathway

Pacific Nickel’s consultants, Mining One Pty Ltd (Mining One), have been engaged to undertake geological work on the Company’s nickel projects in the Solomon Islands. Mining One has incorporated detailed historical block modelling work carried out by Sumitomo Metals and Mining to construct a new 3D block model at Jejevo from raw drilling and sampling data.

A near term Jejevo Exploration Target has been generated in the range of 4.9Mt to 6.6Mt at 1.4% Ni to 1.6% Ni within all domains (Saprolite, Transitional and Limonite). This Target range reflects a potential quantity and grade for Jejevo and is conceptual in nature only as there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Drilling at Jejevo commenced with an initial 64-hole drill program. This drilling is designed to:

• Confirm historical drill resource estimates.
• Allowing Mining One to prepare an independent resource assessment; and
• Provide metallurgical samples for preliminary DSO marketing discussions.

The first batch of samples from the first twenty seven holes are currently at ALS in Brisbane, Australia. The drilling at Jejevo has been put on hold until clear title has been established for the PL. The Company expects this to be done in the near term.

The drilling program was designed based on a review of the historical drilling on the Jejevo tenement undertaken by previous owner Sumitomo Metals and Mining. Significant historical drilling intercepts include:

• JSC030: 13m @ 2.04% Ni from surface, including 11m @ 2.18% Ni from 2m.
• JSD049: 9m @ 1.98% Ni from 1m, including 6m @ 2.26% Ni from 2m.
• JSD062: 12m @ 1.93% Ni from surface, including 9m @ 2.04% Ni from 3m.

There are also targets for future exploration programs that exist on ridges to the east and west of the currently defined Jejevo deposit.

Jejevo Resource Extensional Targets

A near term Jejovo Exploration Target has been generated in the range of 4.9Mt to 6.6Mt at 1.4% Ni to 1.6% Ni within all domains (Saprolite, Transitional and Limonite). This Target range reflects a potential quantity and grade for Jejevo and is conceptual in nature only as there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
