November 29, 2007 - (Vancouver) – Hard Creek Nickel Corp. (TSX.V-HNC,
FSE-BRR) is pleased to provide analytical results for an additional 8
diamond drill holes (DDH), totaling 2020 metres (6,627 feet) from the
recently completed 75 hole drilling program at its 100% owned Turnagain
Project, located 70km east of Dease Lake in British Columbia.  Results for
27 of the drill holes have now been released with the analytical results
for the remaining 48 holes to be reported when they are received.
 
Results are reported from five complete and one partial hole in the
Northwest zone and from two holes in the Duffy zone area.  Drill hole
locations can be viewed on a plan map at

www.hardcreeknickel.com/planNR071128.htm.

'Although the holes in the vicinity of the Duffy zone were not encouraging,
the holes in the Northwest zone returned some very pleasant surprises,'
said Mark Jarvis, President of Hard Creek Nickel.  'The platinum-palladium
values were well above what was anticipated within sections of drill core
above 0.50% total nickel.  This is significant because this is the first
time we have encountered this relationship within drill core on the
property.' 'These results open up the potential for developing areas within
the Horsetrail deposit which host both nickel and platinum-palladium
mineralization,' said Mr. Jarvis.  'The potential to include platinum and
palladium as a portion of our overall resource could be significant. Close
spaced drilling will be required during the next drill season to determine
the significance and extent of this mineralization.'

Holes 07-196, 197 and 198 were drilled as step-out holes along the western
and southwestern margins of the Northwest zone mineralization where the
favourable dunite-wehrlite lithology is becoming diluted by dykes, hornfels
and pyroxenite. Although nickel mineralization is generally weaker than in
the core of the Northwest zone, hole 07-197 contained a 32m interval
averaging 0.29 percent total nickel, suggesting a possible extension to the
west.

Holes 07-199, 202 and 205 were drilled towards the centre of the Northwest
zone to confirm the continuity of the mineralization at depth to the north
and to test zones of inferred mineral resource. These holes encountered
both higher grade nickel mineralization and two intervals of significant
platinum-palladium mineralization. Hole 07-199 was terminated in
mineralization grading 0.56 percent total nickel and 689ppb (0.69
grams/tonne) combined platinum and palladium. Hole 07-205 intersected an 8m
interval averaging 0.70 percent nickel and 475 ppb (0.48 grams/tonne)
combined platinum and palladium. Results are pending for the bottom 290
metres of this hole and an additional six holes drilled in the Northwest
Zone.

Both holes 07-168 and 07-200 drilled along the southern margin of the Duffy
area encountered thick intervals of dunite without significant
mineralization.
The total nickel values reported in the table below include nickel in both
sulphide and non-sulphide minerals.

DDHs 07-196, 197 and 198 were drilled as step-out holes and 07-199, 202 and
205 were drilled as infill holes within the Northwest zone of the
Horsetrail
deposit:

True widths are estimated to be approximately 80 percent of reported core
intervals. Samples for analysis were generally 4 metres in length of split
NQ-size core.  Reference pulps with known nickel and copper values were
inserted every 25 core samples and rock blanks inserted every 30 samples to
monitor laboratory performance as part of the QC/QA program.

Total nickel, copper, cobalt and sulphur values were determined by ICP
emission spectrometry following four acid digestion of a representative
pulp sample.  Platinum and palladium values were determined by ICP emission
spectrometry following lead-collection fire assay fusion of a 30 gram pulp.
All analytical work was conducted by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd., an
ISO 9001 registered facility, located in Vancouver.  International Plasma
Labs (iPL), an ISO 9001 registered facility, also located in Vancouver, is
carrying out check analyses on ten percent of the samples.

The Turnagain Nickel Project resource has been estimated in early 2007 (see
February 12, 2007 News Release for details) with the measured and indicated
resource estimated at 428.5 million tonnes grading 0.23% total nickel
(0.17% nickel in sulfides) and 0.011% cobalt and an additional inferred
resource of 742.9 million tonnes grading 0.23% total nickel (0.17% nickel
in sulfides) and 0.011% cobalt. Sulfide nickel grades are based on ammonium
citrate-hydrogen peroxide leach analyses. Ammonium citrate-hydrogen
peroxide leach analyses for nickel provide a good estimate of nickel grades
present in sulfide form and display good correlation with recoveries in
metallurgical testwork. When compared with conventional analyses for
nickel, the ammonium citrate-hydrogen peroxide leach results range from 60%
to 90% of total nickel values. Only the nickel in sulfides is expected to
be
recoverable by froth flotation.   Mineral resources that are not mineral
reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
