Formation Metals (CSE:FOMO) begins trading Friday on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under one of the more memorable tickers in recent history.

The Vancouver-based junior miner is focused on developing its flagship Nicobat property in northeast Ontario’s Dobie Township. The nickel, copper and cobalt project is only 21 kilometres south of the Zone 34 nickel discovery at New Gold’s (TSX:NGD) more than 10-millon-ounce Rainy River mine.

Historic exploration work at Nicobat includes more than 15,000 metres of drilling, 220 drill holes and bulk samples delineating multiple non-compliant historic resources with higher-grade nickel zones worth following up on.
