About Canickel Mining Ltd.

Canickel is a Canadian junior mining company that owns the Bucko Lake mine project, currently on care and maintenance, near Wabowden, Man. From 2009 to 2012, nearly 450,000 tonnes of mineralized material were mined to produce 6.9 million pounds of nickel before the mine was put on care and maintenance due to low nickel prices. Today, the Bucko Lake mine and surrounding satellite deposits continue to host significant nickel sulphide mineral resources grading over 1 per cent nickel.

The mine and surrounding deposits benefit from excellent infrastructure, including roads, rail, power, Internet, personnel and equipment. The mine can be accessed and operated all year, and existing mine infrastructure includes a 1,000-tonne-per-day processing plant, backfill paste plant, on-site drill core shack, hoist and head frame, fine mineralized material bin, office, dry trailers, compressor room, tailings disposal management area, and a 100-person camp.
