Vancouver, May 31, 2022 – FPX Nickel Corp. (FPX-TSX.V) (“FPX” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the results of new testing which continues to demonstrate the potential for enhanced carbon capture and storage (“CCS”) in tailings at its Baptiste Project (the “Project”) in the Decar Nickel District in central British Columbia. These laboratory tests, conducted by researchers from the University of British Columbia (“UBC”) funded by FPX and the Government of Canada, were conducted on tailings representative of different operating scenarios at Baptiste, and demonstrate the ability of these representative tailings to sequester CO2 into a permanent mineralized form, thereby advancing the Project’s potential to become the nickel industry’s first carbon-neutral or carbon-negative operation.
