Combined, Fathom Nickel Inc.’s two properties in Saskatchewan consist of 66 individual mineral claims totaling 113,080 Ha. Saskatchewan is consistently ranked within the top 5 jurisdictions in the world to conduct mineral exploration by the Fraser Institute. Both properties; the Albert Lake and Gochager Lake properties fall within the highly prospective Trans Hudson Corridor. The Trans Hudson Corridor defines a Proterozoic suite of geology (1.8 Ma), that trends north from North Dakota (US), through Saskatchewan where it veers east to include Northern Manitoba, and across Hudson’s Bay to include the Ungava Peninsula, PQ, from where it continues into Greenland. Coincident with the Trans Hudson Corridor are the world-class Thompson Nickel Belt, MN (in production), the Lynn Lake Nickel Belt (past producer), and the Raglan Nickel Belt, PQ (in production). Ironically, the province of Saskatchewan is vastly underexplored for nickel and Fathom with two highly prospective nickel projects is in position to take advantage of this opportunity and demonstrate that the province of Saskatchewan can host “world-class” nickel camps similar to Manitoba and Quebec.
Our Projects
The Albert Lake property consists of thirty-one, contiguous, 100% owned mineral claims covering a combined 90,459 hectares.
The Gochager Lake property, consists of 34 contiguous mineral claims totalling 22,620 hectares.
Albert Lake Project
The Albert Lake property consists of thirty-one, contiguous, 100% owned mineral claims covering a combined 90,459 hectares.
The Albert Lake property is located within the Rottenstone Domain which defines the western margin of the Trans Hudson Corridor. With the acquisition of the Tremblay-Olson Claims in Summer of 2022; the Albert Lake property consists of thirty-one, contiguous, 100% owned mineral claims covering a combined 90,460 hectares. The property is host to the historic Rottenstone Mine, a past producer of high-grade magmatic nickel sulphide mineralization. The Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (report #0958) reports that mining produced 26,057 tonnes with an average grade of 3.28% Ni, 1.83% Cu and 9.63 g/t 3PE (Pd-Pt+Au) from estimated resources that range from 45,000 tons to 60,000 tons*. Mining occurred from an open pit operation 1965 – 1969 on the eastern shore of Rottenstone Lake.
Gochager Lake Property
The Gochager Lake property, consists of 34 contiguous mineral claims totalling 22,620 hectares.
The location of the Gochager Lake property is very near to the border of the interpreted Rottenstone and La Ronge Domains and like at Albert Lake property, both domains are within the Trans Hudson Corridor. The Gochager Lake property consists of 35 contiguous mineral claims totaling 22,260 Ha. The property is host to the historic Gochager Lake nickel-copper-cobalt deposit (estimated to be 4,262,400 tons grading 0.295% Ni and 0.081% Cu*), the Mal Lake nickel occurrence (drilling in 1967 defined nickel mineralization of 1.11% Ni, 0.24% Cu / 7.9 meters (including 1.62% Ni, 0.30% Cu / 1.4m) **), and the Borys Lake VMS, zinc-lead-copper deposit (1,336,500 tons grading 1.91% combined zinc and lead***).
