investor insight
Ni-Co Energy is advancing its 100 per cent owned Kramer nickel-copper-cobalt project in Quebec, where drilling has confirmed the Ni-Cu-Co sulphide discovery at Kramer-1, demonstrating that the system is capable of hosting massive and semi-giant sulphide mineralization within an 8 km corridor.
Kramer-2 represents a large, strong, and unexploited geophysical core target within the system, which is coincidentally defined by EM, magnetic, and gravitational anomalies.
With a fully funded and permitted 7,500 meter 2026 drill program and a C$350,000 NSERC-University of Ottawa collaboration, the Company is pursuing a science-driven exploration strategy towards its next major catalyst: the first drill test of whether the mineralization system confirmed at Kramer-1 extends into a larger, potentially more significant core area at Kramer-2.
overview
Ni-Co Energy is a Quebec-based mineral exploration company focused on nickel, copper and cobalt. The company is advancing its 100 per cent-owned Cremer project, located 15 km from Saint-Comté, about 90 km north of Downtown Montreal, with access to roads, power infrastructure and nearby rail.
The Kramer property consists of 233 CDC claims covering 12,937.84 hectares. It is interpreted as a nickel-copper-cobalt magmatic groove-style sulphide system associated with the contact between moraine anorthosite and Grenvillian metasedimentary rocks. The current structural model depicts a southwest-dipping mineralized groove or plane (approximately 50–55°), with Kramer-1 representing the northwestern discovery zone and Kramer-2 interpreted as the central part of the system, displaying strong geophysical signatures.
Exploration programs including airborne magnetic, time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM), drone magnetic and gravity surveys along with 2023 drilling have defined approximately 8 km of potential corridor. Within this corridor, two important electromagnetic axes and 30 high priority drill targets have been identified through integrated geophysical interpretation.
Ni-Co Energy is leading Kramer through a combined approach of drilling, geophysics and scientific research. The company’s NSERC Alliance – Advantage collaboration with the University of Ottawa, valued at approximately C$350,000 and led by Dr. Brian O’Driscoll, Professor and Newmont Chair in Economic Geology, focuses on understanding sulfur sources, mineralization controls and metal distributions to enhance drill targeting and refine geological models.
Quebec provides a supportive jurisdiction for critical minerals development, with a provincial strategy emphasizing exploration, investment and integrated value chains for nickel, copper and cobalt.
Company Highlights
- 100% owned flagship: Kramer consists of 233 CDC claims covering 12,937.84 hectares with infrastructure including road, power and rail access.
- Confirmed Discovery – Kramer-1:2023 drilling (22 holes; 4,200 m) intersected massive and semi-massive sulphide in 41 percent of the holes.
- surface expression: 700 meter trench with visible sulphide every 25-50 metres.
- Reported results: Key highlights, including assays, returned from drilling at Kramer-1 1.73% nickel, 0.85% copper and 0.16% cobalt over 2.95m And 0.28% nickel, 0.18% copper over 11.75m. Additional high-ranking intervals include 1.25% nickel, 0.45% and 0.15% cobalt over 3.75 metres. Reported intervals are apparent widths.
- vast geophysical corridor: 8 km potential corridor with overlapping EM, magnetic and gravitational signatures.
- Priority Target – Kramer-2: ~3 km interpreted ultramafic sub-intrusion zone with coincident EM, magnetic and gravity anomalies, which represents the strongest geophysical signature within the system and has not been tested by drilling.
- 2026 drill program: 7,500 m fully funded and permitted program including downhole EM and 3D modelling.
- NSERC Collaboration: C$350,000 two-year research program with the University of Ottawa led by Dr. Brian O’Driscoll, Professor and Newmont Chair in Economic Geology.
- Science-driven targeting: Integrating drilling, geophysics and academic research to refine mineral control and targeting.
main project
Kramer Project
The Kramer Project is Ni-Co Energy’s key asset and primary value driver. Located in southern Quebec near Saint-Côme, it is interpreted as a magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt sulfide system associated with a moraine anorthosite contact. The system is modeled as a southwest-dipping drain controlled by regional structural features.
Kramer-1 represents the search area and proof of the system. The 2023 drilling program (22 holes; ~4,200 m) yielded massive and semi-massive sulphide mineralization in approximately 41 percent of the holes. Surface trenching exposed sulphide mineralization over approximately 700 metres, with exposures every 25–50 metres. Mineralization includes pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite.

Reported drilling highlights include an interval of 2.95 meters grading 1.73 per cent nickel, 0.85 per cent copper and 0.16 per cent cobalt, and 11.75 meters grading 0.28 per cent nickel, 0.18 per cent copper and 0.02 per cent cobalt. These results are reported as apparent width, and no mineral resource estimate has been established.
Kramer-2 is the Company’s primary exploration target and near-term catalyst. It is described as an area of approximately 3 km, interpreted as one or more ultramafic sub-intrusions with overlapping EM, magnetic and gravity signatures. Kramer-2 has not been examined by drilling and is interpreted as a possible core of the magmatic system.
Kramer-1 shows that the system is mineralized, while Kramer-2 represents the first test of its larger and more prospective core.
The 2026 exploration program includes approximately 7,500 meters of drilling targeting Kramer-1 and Kramer-2, including downhole electromagnetic survey and 3D modeling on the majority of holes. The program is designed to generate assay results, identify off-hole conductors, and refine targeting within the interpreted conduit system.
