The company will be following up on "historic" drilling of more than 80 holes across the Talon Michigan Nickel-Copper Properties, which resulted in grades similar to the high-grade Eagle Mine and the Tamarack Nickel Project.

"Our team in Michigan is excited to have kicked off our first exploration drill program in Michigan, home to America's only currently operating nickel mine. Our strategy is to leverage both the historic data from the Talon Michigan Nickel-Copper Properties and the new insights we've gathered from our extensive exploration around the Tamarack Nickel Project and other projects in the region," chief executive Brian Goldner said in a release.

The company's shares were last seen down $0.005 to $0.145 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
