Hard Creek Nickel Corp. (HNC.V)

Hard Creek Nickel Corp. is actively developing and exploring its 100% owned Turnagain Nickel Project, located in northwest British Columbia, Canada. The Turnagain property is the world's largest new sulphide nickel deposit measured by contained sulphide nickel.

Property Information

The Turnagain nickel property is situated immediately north of Turnagain River near its confluence with Hard Creek. The community of Dease Lake, on highway 37 some 400 kilometres north of the port of Stewart, is 70 kilometres west of the property. Helicopter access from Dease Lake involves a 20 minute flight. A secondary road extending easterly from Dease Lake has been used by large, articulated 4-wheel drive vehicles to convey large jade boulders from the Kutcho Creek area and to supply placer gold operations at Wheaton Creek over the past number of years. A branch of this road network extends into the Turnagain property; road distance to Dease Lake is about 100 kilometres. A 900 metres long dirt airstrip, constructed in the 1960s and situated within the claims area on the north side of Turnagain River, can accommodate small aircraft. This airstrip is immediately adjacent to Hard Creek’s current camp facility. Previous exploration programs have made use of camp facilities at Wheaton Creek (Boulder) which is about 15 kilometres by road west of the property.

Dease Lake has three times a week scheduled airline service and offers some supplies and services. The communities of Terrace and Smithers in B.C. and Whitehorse in Yukon, are all several hundred kilometres distant and offer the best range of supplies and services which can be trucked to Dease Lake via highway 37.
