Message: Pure Nickel Responds to TSX Bulletin

TORONTO, Sept. 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pure Nickel Inc. (TSX:NIC) (the "Company") provides additional information on today's TSX bulletin. On May 7, 2013 the TSX issued a bulletin indicating it was reviewing the common shares of the Company with respect to meeting the continued listing requirement based on the criteria that the market capitalization of the Company did not meet the exchange's minimum threshold. The Company was granted 120 days to comply. To that end, given the resource market has not recovered over the summer months, and the Company's market capitalization is still below the TSX's threshold, today's bulletin was issued. Pure Nickel currently meets all of the listing criteria save for the market capitalization requirement.

The Company has made use of the streamlined listing procedure to move to the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX Venture"). The TSX Venture has granted the Company conditional approval to list on the exchange and the Company anticipates transitioning to the TSX Venture in early October with no disruption in the trading of NIC.

Pure Nickel continues to be in a strong financial position and operational position with $2.4 million in working capital and active exploration projects in Alaska and Manitoba.
