Vancouver-based First Atlantic Nickel has engaged drone technology company Draganfly for advanced aerial sensing exploration at the Atlantic nickel project, in Newfoundland.

Draganfly will conduct advanced surveys, including a magnetic geophysical survey, at the project, aimed at identifying high priority magnetic awaruite target areas, while solidifying plans for the 2024 drilling programme.

Draganfly's drones offer impressive capabilities, including a 10 kg payload capacity, a wide operating temperature range, high wind tolerance, and the ability to carry an array of advanced sensors.

“Draganfly's expertise and cutting-edge drones will enable us to efficiently survey our vast land package, accelerate potential discoveries, and acquire precise data. This partnership aligns with our long-term strategy of leveraging AI-powered data to unlock the full potential of the Atlantic nickel project and expand known areas of awaruite mineralisation,” said First Atlantic CEO Adrian Smith.

The Atlantic nickel project covers 21 850 ha of highly prospective ground with potential for bulk-tonnage, awaruite-style nickel mineralisation. Awaruite, a naturally occurring nickel alloy, offers a sustainable and efficient pathway to producing critical minerals while reducing the need for energy-intensive smelting and limiting dependence on nickel supply chains controlled by foreign entities of concern.
