Fathom Nickel: How new techniques have been ”incredibly successful” finding high-confidence targets.

Junior Resource Investing

Fathom IPO’d in May of 2021 pursuing its flagship Rottenstone project. The company has gotten some love from the market a few times since then, as CEO Ian Fraser (and President Doug Porter) have very successfully and aggressively pushed their two projects (Albert Lake and Gochager Lake, acquired in September of 2022) forward. So while the tide has gone out on metals sector sentiment, it is my thought that Fathom has never been stronger than it is right now. This is because it looks an awful lot like they possess both a proven, effective, reproducible exploration thesis and a heck of a lot of multi-% Ni targets to hone in on with it And that is an obviously exciting combination. Fathom’s use of BHEM analysis has lead to dramatic and definitive results. This is because BHEM readings have done nothing less than redefine how these two land packages are meant to be understood. They are clear, direct, and accurate indicators of identifying and targeting these pockets. I like Fathom a lot. I believe they simply knows more, have more potential, and have a clearer path to value creation than most exploration companies I know. All that’s left for Fathom to do is drill and see just how rich those pods can get. And based on Ian’s knowledge and enthusiasm, I can’t help but feel a little excitement too.
