Meanwhile, CaNickel has appointed James Dai to the position of cfo and corporate secretary. He replaces Derek Liu, who resigned from these posts for personal reasons.

CaNickel owns the Bucko Lake Nickel Mine in Manitoba, which is currently on care and maintenance, and several nickel, copper and platinum group metal projects in the Thompson Nickel Belt.
