SPC Nickel Launches 2026 Field Season at Muskox Cu-Ni-PGM Project, Nunavut

By

SPC Nickel (SPC.V) launched its 2026 summer exploration program at the 100%-owned, Muskox project, in Nunavut, Canada, the company said on Tuesday.

The 2026 program builds directly on the results of the company's 2025 exploration campaigns, which identified 85 high-priority EM conductors across the Muskox Intrusion and its 60-kilometre Feeder Dyke, and is designed to advance the project's most compelling targets to drill-ready status, SPC said.

Among highlights, SPC said a ground electromagnetic (EM) survey started in June, utilising the NOVEM 3-axis low-frequency, "high-resolution" system to conduct focused follow-up on conductors identified during the 2025 HELITEM airborne survey.

The company highlighted the Spartan ground magnetotelluric (MT) survey planned for July through August, covering 160 stations across a 17 km by 3.5 km corridor to provide deep-penetrating resolution of conductive zones beneath the Muskox Intrusion. Ground truthing, field mapping, and prospecting program to validate geophysical anomalies and scout priority drill and camp locations, was also highlighted.

All programs are focused on generating high-quality drill-ready targets along the Muskox Intrusion and the Feeder Dyke, SPC added.

Shares of the company closed unchanged at $0.085 on Monday on the TSX Venture Exchange.
