Magna Mining Intersects Near Surface Contact Nickel Mineralization Grading 2.3% Ni, 0.7% Cu Over 28.0 metres at the Levack Mine
Magna Mining (OTCQX:MGMNF) has reported significant drilling results from its Levack Mine exploration program, with notable intersections of nickel-copper mineralization. The highlight includes drill hole MLV-25-21 which intersected 2.3% Ni and 0.7% Cu over 28.0 metres, including higher-grade sections of 6.6% Ni over 2.4 metres.
The company is operating two surface diamond drills at the Levack Mine, with plans to add two underground diamond drills in the coming quarters. The drilling program aims to support the Levack Mine restart study and upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate, focusing on near-surface mineralization approximately 135-155 metres from surface.
Additional significant results include hole MLV-25-22 which returned 2.4% Ni and 0.8% Cu over 15.5 metres. The company plans to expand exploration in the footwall area and test potential vertical vein systems near the Fecunis fault.
Magna Mining (OTCQX:MGMNF) ha comunicato risultati di perforazione significativi nel programma di esplorazione della miniera Levack, con intersezioni rilevanti di mineralizzazione di nickel-rame. In evidenza il foro MLV-25-21 che ha incontrato 2,3% Ni e 0,7% Cu su 28,0 metri, comprendendo porzioni a tenore più elevato come 6,6% Ni su 2,4 metri.
L’azienda sta operando con due trivelle diamantate di superficie alla miniera Levack e prevede di aggiungere due trivelle diamantate sotterranee nei prossimi trimestri. Il programma di perforazione mira a supportare lo studio per il riavvio della miniera Levack e la prossima Stima delle Risorse Minerarie, concentrandosi sulla mineralizzazione vicino alla superficie a circa 135-155 metri di profondità .
Altri risultati rilevanti includono il foro MLV-25-22 che ha restituito 2,4% Ni e 0,8% Cu su 15,5 metri. L’azienda intende estendere l’esplorazione nell’area del piede e sondare potenziali sistemi di vene verticali vicino alla faglia Fecunis.

Magna Mining (OTCQX:MGMNF) a publié d’importants résultats de forage dans le cadre de son programme d’exploration de la mine Levack, avec des intersections notables de minéralisation nickel-cuivre. Le point fort est le trou de forage MLV-25-21 qui a intercepté 2,3% Ni et 0,7% Cu sur 28,0 mètres, incluant des sections à teneur plus élevée de 6,6% Ni sur 2,4 mètres.
La société exploite deux forages diamantés de surface à la mine Levack et prévoit d’ajouter deux forages diamantés souterrains dans les prochains trimestres. Le programme de forage vise à soutenir l’étude de redémarrage de la mine Levack et la prochaine Estimation des Ressources Minérales, en ciblant la minéralisation proche de la surface à environ 135�155 mètres de profondeur.
Parmi les autres résultats significatifs, le trou MLV-25-22 a renvoyé 2,4% Ni et 0,8% Cu sur 15,5 mètres. La société prévoit d’étendre l’exploration dans la zone du mur inférieur (footwall) et de tester d’éventuels systèmes de veines verticales près de la faille Fecunis.
Magna Mining (OTCQX:MGMNF) hat bedeutende Bohrergebnisse aus seinem Explorationsprogramm in der Levack-Mine gemeldet, mit auffälligen Abschnitten nickel-kupferhaltiger Mineralisierung. Hervorzuheben ist Bohrloch MLV-25-21, das 2,3% Ni und 0,7% Cu über 28,0 Meter schnitt, einschließlich höherer Gehalte von 6,6% Ni über 2,4 Meter.
Das Unternehmen betreibt zwei oberirdische Diamantbohrgeräte in der Levack-Mine und plant, in den kommenden Quartalen zwei untertägige Diamantbohrgeräte hinzuzufügen. Das Bohrprogramm soll die Studie für den Neustart der Levack-Mine und die bevorstehende Schätzung der Mineralressourcen unterstützen und konzentriert sich auf nahe an der Oberfläche liegende Mineralisierung in etwa 135�155 Metern Tiefe.
Weitere bedeutsame Ergebnisse umfassen Bohrloch MLV-25-22, das 2,4% Ni und 0,8% Cu über 15,5 Meter ergab. Das Unternehmen plant, die Erkundung im Fußwandbereich auszuweiten und mögliche vertikale Adern nahe der Fecunis-Verwerfung zu testen.
- High-grade nickel intersections with MLV-25-21 showing 2.3% Ni over 28.0 metres
- Near-surface mineralization discovered at only 135-155 metres depth, potentially reducing mining costs

Sudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 19, 2025) - Magna Mining Inc. (TSXV: NICU) (OTCQX: MGMNF) (FSE: 8YD) ("Magna" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities and assay results from the ongoing exploration at the Levack Mine (Figure 1). Results include the initial assays from the near surface portion of the No.1 nickel-copper ("Ni-Cu") zone, supporting the Levack Mine restart study.
Highlights from the new assay results include:
- MLV-25-21
2.3% Ni,0.7% Cu, 0.3 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 28.0 metres
Including
And
- MLV-25-22
2.4% Ni,0.8% Cu, 0.3 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 15.5 metres
And
Dave King, SVP Exploration and Geoscience stated, "We are pleased to announce initial assay results from the near surface drilling on the No. 1 Contact Ni-Cu zones at the Levack Mine. Drilling in this area will provide the data required to advance the Levack restart study and provide appropriate drill density to support the higher level of geological confidence required for our upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate. In addition to the Keel Copper-PGE ("Cu-PGE") zone, initial mining from this zone could be accessed via a new ramp from surface. The intersections reported today are approximately 135 to 155 metres from surface and confirm Magna's belief that there are significant areas of wide, high grade nickel mineralization at shallow depths remaining at the Levack Mine."
Diamond Drilling and Exploration Plan
There are currently two surface diamond drills operating at the Levack Mine, one completing near surface infill and metallurgical drillholes on the No. 1 and No. 2 and Main zones, and a second drill exploring the footwall environment between the No. 3 Ni-Cu Zone and the Morrison Cu-PGE deposit.
The first drill has completed a number of holes in the No. 1 and No. 2 zones, and is currently testing an area to the east of the Main OB (see Figure 2), to expand on known Ni-Cu mineralization which locally tends to have higher precious metals and could potentially be accessed early in a mine restart plan. Once this drilling is completed, it is expected that this drill will also transition to testing the footwall area below the No. 3 OB, where the second diamond drill has been exploring for the past two months. Here, the second drill is currently drilling a wedge hole to test approximately 150 metres below the intersection in hole MLV-25-14A which graded
In addition to the surface diamond drills, an underground diamond drill will begin drilling at the Levack Mine within the current quarter, and a second underground diamond drill is expected to begin drilling in Q4. These drills will be focused on testing the area further downdip and on strike of the area below the No. 3 zone, as well as following up on the east side of the Fecunis fault, where historical hole FNX21200 intersected
The drilling reported from the Keel Cu-PGE zone targeted the extensions of the known mineralization and areas in proximity to a conceptual ramp design to aid in detailed planning and support of the restart study for the Levack Mine. Assays are summarized in Table 1 and drillhole collar information is presented in Table 2.

Quality Assurance and Control
Sample QA/QC procedures for Magna have been designed to meet or exceed industry standards. Drill core is collected from the diamond drill and placed in sealed core trays for transport to Magna's core facilities. Levack drilling utilizes NQ sized core and McCreedy West utilizes BQTK sized core. The core is then logged, and samples marked in intervals of up to 1.5m. Levack drill core is split and sampled ½ core, and McCreedy West is whole core sampled. Samples are then put into plastic bags with 10 bagged samples being placed into rice bags for transport to SGS Laboratories in Garson, Ontario for preparation, which are then shipped to Lakefield, Ontario for analysis. Samples are submitted in batches of 50 with 4 QA/QC samples including, 2 certified reference material standards and 2 samples of blank material.
