Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 4, 2023) - Avante Mining Corp. (TSXV: AVA) (OTC Pink: ACPRF) (FSE: P210) ("Avante" or the "Company"), a Canadian nickel-focused exploration company, is pleased to announce that is has initiated field work on the Pipestone Nickel Project located in central Newfoundland (the "Pipestone Project" or the "Property").

The Company has commenced a preliminary sampling and mapping program to confirm historically significant mineralization identified on the Property. Historical drilling re-assayed in 2012 (NFLD/3284) confirmed consistent and highly elevated nickel with 0.22% Nickel (Ni) over the entire length of two drillholes that were re-sampled, including one intercept 0.22% Ni over the entire hole length of 87.15 metres in DDH78-AL-1 located in the norther portion of the Property area. The Company sees the opportunity to identify broad areas of similar or better nickel mineralization that could contain magnetically recoverable nickel (awaruite) and/or sulfide-nickel mineralization through a focused exploration strategy.

Project Highlights:

Work is now underway, Avante is the first company to target awaruite in this region since 2012; see & read more on
