TORONTO, January 17, 2025 – Power Nickel Inc. (“Company” or “Power Nickel”) (TSXV:PNPN) (OTCBB:PNPNF) (Frankfurt:IVV) is pleased to announce the appointment of industry veteran Joe Campbell, BSc, P. Geo as Vice President of Exploration.
Ken Williamson has chosen to return to geological consulting after successfully leading the initial Lion zone drill program and discovery in 2024. Power Nickel expresses its gratitude for Ken’s contributions and wishes him well in his future endeavors.
Mr. Campbell brings over 40 years of experience in major projects, encompassing roles from Chief Geologist (open pit and underground) to Project Manager (e.g., Meliadine Gold, now operated by AEM). He’s a former President, Executive Chairman, and COO of Gold Terra (formerly TerraX). His extensive experience includes senior project management, resource/reserve estimation, and economic assessments across pre-feasibility, feasibility, mine development, and operations. His expertise spans advanced exploration in various deposit types, including mesothermal and epithermal gold, volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS), porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum, and nickel sulfide and laterite deposits. Mr. Campbell also possesses significant experience in environmental reviews for mining projects.
“We are delighted to welcome Joe to Power Nickel. With our exploration activities expanding in 2025, Joe’s expertise will be invaluable in scaling our efforts efficiently and effectively. Joe’s leadership within Western Mining’s Canadian division, overseeing project acquisition, management, and development, is a significant asset. Although not having directly worked with Power Nickel Director and senior technical advisor Steve Beresford, their shared experience at Western Mining, particularly its exploration and data management approach, which Power Nickel emulates, was a key factor in Dr. Beresford’s transition from technical advisor to Board Member,” said Terry Lynch, Power Nickel CEO.
“Joining Power Nickel felt like a natural fit, given my background with the Western Mining methodology. I recognized their strengths and areas for growth. Joe’s addition to the team will significantly accelerate our exploration progress and success,” stated Power Nickel Director and polymetallic expert, Dr. Steve Beresford.
