TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2022 / EV Nickel Inc. (TSX-V:EVNI) ("EVNi" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has commissioned Blue Heron Environmental ("Blue Heron") to initiate a surface monitoring program that will document the hydrology and water quality baseline data for the area around the Langmuir W4 Zone, part of the Shaw Dome Nickel Project.

The surface water monitoring program will capture the seasonal variability on a quarterly basis and represents an important step required to advance the Langmuir W4 Zone along a permitting pathway. Blue Heron is familiar with the Langmuir W4 Zone, having completed preliminary surface water monitoring around W4 in 2010. Work is scheduled to commence immediately on the program to capture the summer season conditions on the surface waters around the project.

"Understanding the water quality and stream flow conditions is important to ensure that any development of the Langmuir W4 Zone has the smallest possible impact on the surrounding environment," states Sean Samson, President and CEO of EV Nickel. "Plus, the information collected in the surface water monitoring program will provide EVNi with the information required to approach the Provincial and Federal ministries to advance the Zone forward on a path towards permitting and development, inline with EVNi's objective of building a Clean Nickel TM business across the Shaw Dome Nickel Project".

The Langmuir W4 Zone represents undeveloped, high grade, near surface mineralization that is in close proximity to processing opportunities. EVNi continues to explore the W4 Zone, including testing the down plunge continuation of the sulphide mineralization, referred to as the "W4 Extension", all with the intent to provide an updated resource estimate in 2023 (for further detail, please the see news release dated July 11, 2022).
