FATHOM NICKEL ENGAGES GEOTECH LTD. TO PLAN A VTEM™ PLUS SURVEY AT THE SOUTH ALBERT LAKE PROJECT AREA

Fathom Nickel Inc. announced the engagement of Geotech Ltd. to plan and execute a VTEM Plus airborne electromagnetic survey at the company's South Albert Lake project area in Saskatchewan. The VTEM (Versatile Time-domain Electromagnetic) Plus system is a sophisticated helicopter-borne geophysical survey technology designed to detect conductive mineralization, making it particularly well-suited for nickel exploration programs.

This survey represents a significant advancement in Fathom's exploration strategy at South Albert Lake, as VTEM surveys are highly effective at identifying subsurface conductors that may indicate nickel sulfide mineralization. The technology can penetrate to considerable depths and provide detailed subsurface imaging, which will help the company prioritize targets for future drilling programs.

The engagement with Geotech Ltd., a recognized leader in airborne geophysical surveying, demonstrates Fathom's commitment to utilizing industry-leading technology in its exploration efforts. The timing of this announcement suggests the company is moving forward aggressively with its 2025 exploration plans, positioning itself to potentially identify new nickel targets in a market where critical minerals like nickel are increasingly valued.

For the broader nickel sector, this type of systematic exploration approach using advanced geophysical techniques reflects the industry's continued focus on discovering new nickel deposits to meet growing demand from the electric vehicle battery market and other industrial applications.
