Victory Nickel Announces Continued Progress at Lac Rocher Project
Tuesday February 19, 12:53 pm ET  
Plans call for first nickel production in 2008


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 19, 2008) - Victory Nickel Inc. ("Victory Nickel" or the "Company") (TSX:NI - News; www.victorynickel.ca) is pleased to announce further positive results from metallurgical testing at its 100%-owned Lac Rocher nickel deposit in northwestern Quebec. A total of 15 flotation tests were completed by Corem in Quebec on material from the disseminated sulphide zone, yielding nickel recovery of 79.9% and copper recovery of 94.2% to a nickel/copper concentrate.
"These positive findings from the disseminated material are in-line with the excellent results announced late last year from the massive sulphide zone," said President Brian Robertson. "We expect to complete an updated resource estimate shortly and receive the preliminary economic assessment before the end of March. Our goal remains to be mining at Lac Rocher before the end of 2008."

Corem produced a nickel/copper concentrate from the disseminated sulphide zone (head grade of the sample was 1.31% nickel and 0.47% copper) Phase II of the proposed project), with grades and recoveries as follows:




-------------------------------------
               Nickel         Copper
Grade (%)        11.04           4.14
Recovery (%)      79.9           94.2
-------------------------------------


As previously released, final grades and recoveries to a nickel/copper concentrate from the massive sulphide zone (head grade of the sample was 4.74% nickel, 1.71% copper) (see news release dated December 11, 2007) are as follows:




-------------------------------------
               Nickel         Copper
Grade (%)        10.90           4.80
Recovery (%)     85.04          96.67
-------------------------------------


In Phase I, the Company expects to extract approximately 50,000 tonnes of material. In Phase II an additional 400,000 tonnes of material is targeted for extraction. The existing mineral resource is relatively shallow, located between surface and 125 vertical metres, and the Company intends to access this mineralization by developing a ramp and direct shipping the extracted material offsite for processing.

The metallurgical testing and reporting of results for the massive sulphide zone was done by Xstrata Process Support at the Xstrata Process Support Centre, Falconbridge, Ontario. The metallurgical testing and reporting of results for the disseminated sulphide zone was done by Corem in Quebec. Victory Nickel's Qualified Person for these metallurgical programs under the NI 43-101 guidelines is Dr. Wm. Gordon (Gord) Bacon. Dr. Bacon has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.

Project Updates

The updated Lac Rocher resource estimate will incorporate drilling done in 2007 and include both nickel and copper resources. Along with these metallurgical results, the resource estimate will be incorporated into the preliminary economic assessment being prepared by Roche Engineering and expected to be completed this quarter. Discussions are moving forward with respect to permitting at Lac Rocher in line with the Company's target of commencement of production in 2008.

In addition to ongoing work at Lac Rocher, three diamond drills continue to turn at the Minago project on the Thompson Nickel Belt in Manitoba. The 2008 drilling is designed to expand and upgrade higher-grade mineralization at depth in the Nose Deposit, where the entire current resource is located, as well as to test the North Limb, a zone of mineralization with a known strike length of 1.5 kilometres located to the north of the Nose Deposit. The results of this winter drill program will be incorporated into a revised resource estimate that will form part of the definitive feasibility study. Metallurgical testing and evaluation of milling and other equipment is ongoing.

Also at Minago, Wardrop Engineering Inc. ("Wardrop") is completing a definitive feasibility study on the fracturing or hydraulic "frac" sand, a high-value by-product used to enhance recoveries in the oil and gas industry. The frac sand marketing study is expected to be completed this quarter.

At the Mel project, near Thompson, Manitoba, the Company is finalizing the work program for 2008 in conjunction with Vale Inco, details of which will be announced shortly, and metallurgical testing is planned to complete a preliminary assessment for mining.

obwohl Victory Nickel jetzt im FrackSand Geschäft drinne ist...

und sogar schon produziert, naja zurzeit kaufen sie den Sand erstmal ein und verarbeiten dies bei ihrer 7PMine. Im ersten Q2015 soll wohl der eigene Sand gefördert werden, so wie ich es aus dem Webcast herausgehört habe. Die Tonqualität war sehr schlecht und das ewige Rauschen im Hintergrund machte es mir ohnehin sehr schwer mitzuhören...

Damit wäre man bei der 2ten Phase der 3 Punkt Strategie angelangt. Sieht bis jetzt alles sehr gut aus und meines Erachtens hat Victory die richtigen Leute an Board.

Würde mich freuen, wenn hier wieder mehr leben rein käme...

Phase One now complete, Phase Two designed to enhance quality and reduce costs
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 12, 2014) - Victory Nickel Inc. ("Victory Nickel" or the "Company") (TSX:NI) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved moving forward to Phase Two of the Company's three-phased business plan to become a significant frac sand supplier in Canada and the northern United States.

"Our Seven Persons plant in southern Alberta (the "7P Plant") is now operating 24/7, sales are strong and we are comfortable that we are now a preferred supplier of high-quality Northern White Wisconsin frac sand," said Ken Murdock, CEO of Victory Silica Ltd. "The Board of Directors has recognized this by providing management with a mandate to advance the business through the next phase which will ensure security of supply of Wisconsin frac sand and allow the Company to more effectively control quality while reducing costs."

Phase Two includes the construction by Victory Nickel of a moveable 1,000,000 ton per year ("tpy") frac sand wash plant directly on a sand deposit in Wisconsin at a cost of approximately US$5 million. The Phase Two Wisconsin wash plant will be capable of supplying washed, concentrated sand to both the existing 7P Plant and to the 1,000,000 tpy dry frac sand processing plant that is currently being planned for construction in Manitoba as part of Phase Three. Phase Three will increase Victory Nickel's total finished frac sand production capacity to 1,500,000 tpy. The target is to have the Phase Two plant operational in the second quarter of 2015.

lächerlich bewertet in Anbetracht der nahenden Verkäufen des Fracksandes. Durch die Konsolidierung hat sich die Aktienanzahl auf knapp 40mio. Stk. erheblich minimiert. Sollte der Kurs noch weiter sinken, werde ich mir ein kleines Investment überlegen. Spätestens zum Q2 2015 dürften News bezüglich Cashflow anstehen.

Bis dahin bleibt noch abzuwarten, was mit dem Kurs passiert!

Dieses Jahr & allenfalls noch Q1 2015 werde ich noch nicht einsteigen.
