Canada Nickel Announces Results from Crawford PGM Zone Infill Drilling Campaign

Highlights

Successful infill drilling campaign targeted PGM Zones at Crawford with 45 holes intersecting drill intervals of > 1g/t palladium + platinum
Results include:
- 2.19 g/t palladium + platinum over core length of 76.5 metres in Crawford Main Zone including 3.90 g/t over core length of 13.5 metres
- 1.15 g/t palladium + platinum over 38.5 metres in Crawford East Zone including 2.94 g/t over core length of 4.5 metres
PGM results will be included in development of a Crawford PGM Zone resource estimate and incorporated into the Crawford nickel mine plan

Canada Nickel Company Inc. (" Canada Nickel " or the " Company ") (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) today announced additional results from its drilling program targeting the PGM zones that occur along the Crawford Main and East Zone boundaries and within the existing mine plan outlined in the Crawford Nickel Project feasibility study.

Mark Selby , CEO of Canada Nickel, said, "We are very pleased with the drilling results of the PGM Zones for both the Crawford Main & East Zones, which occur within the existing feasibility study mine plan for Crawford. The opportunity to drill out these zones and to incorporate the findings into a PGM resource estimate have the potential to unlock incremental value from material that was previously unaccounted for, and in fact was treated as waste material within the Crawford feasibility study."

Crawford PGM Drilling

In early drilling campaigns at Crawford, "PGM zones" were identified (Figure 1) with platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) mineralization (Pt+Pd or PGM) occurring within a transitional boundary between the pyroxenite and peridotite units (the "PGM zone") that overlie the nickel-bearing dunites. In 2022, several areas were targeted for PGM mineralization throughout the whole Crawford property. Seventeen holes within the proposed Crawford pit are reported in this release. In 2024, a total of 31 holes were completed - 23 holes were drilled into the East zone, and eight new holes were drilled into the Main Zone to target the PGM zones. These zones are of interest as they reside within the boundaries of the proposed Crawford open pit and, as a resource had not been previously defined for the PGM zone, were treated as waste in the current feasibility study.

The purpose of the 2024 drill program was to provide sufficient infill drilling to produce a resource estimate on the PGM zones. Canada Nickel successfully intersected mineralized peridotite/pyroxenite in 28 of the 31 holes drilled. Assay results from both the 2022 and 2024 programs are tabulated in Table 1 and shown in Figure 2.

1.	The independent Qualified Person for the Mineral Resource Estimate, as defined by NI 43-101, is Dr. Scott Jobin-Bevans (P.Geo., PGO #0183), of Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc. The effective date of the Mineral Resource Estimate is July 15, 2024.
2.	The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Resources in this Mineral Resource Estimate are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Resources as Indicated or Measured. However, it is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
3.	A cut-off grade of 0.10% Ni was used for the Main Domain (combined high- and low-grade estimated domains). Cut-offs were determined on the basis of core assay geostatistics and drill core lithologies for the deposit, and by comparison to analogous deposit types.
4.	Geological and block models for the Mineral Resource Estimate used data from a total of 22 surface drill holes, completed by CNC in 2022-2024. The drill hole database was validated prior to resource estimation and QA/QC checks were made using industry-standard control charts for blanks, core duplicates and commercial certified reference material inserted into assay batches by CNC and by comparison of umpire assays performed at a second laboratory.
5.	Estimates have been rounded to two significant figures.
6.	The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared following the CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines (November 29, 2019) and the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves (May 19, 2014).
7.	The geological model as applied to the Mineral Resource Estimate comprises three mineralized domains hosted by variably serpentinized ultramafic rocks: a relatively higher-grade core (dunite) and two, western and eastern, lower-grade envelopes (peridotite). Individual wireframes were created for each domain in Leapfrog Geo 2023.2.3 software.
8.	A 20 m x 20 m x 15 m block model was created, and samples were composited at 7.5 m intervals. Grade estimation from drill hole data was carried out for Ni, Co, Fe, Cr, S, Pd and Pt using the Ordinary Kriging interpolation method in Isatis 2024.04 software.
9.	The mineral resource estimates have been revised to include a conceptual pit envelope constraint that was developed using the following optimization parameters. Metal prices used were US$21,000/t nickel, US$40,000/t cobalt, US$325/t magnetite, US$1,350/oz palladium, and US$1,150/oz platinum. Different pit slopes were used for each layer (in degrees): 9.5 in clay, 11.6 in sand, and 45.0 in rock. Exchange rate utilized was US$/C$ at $0.75. Mining costs utilized different values for overburden (clay, gravel), selective mining, and bulk mining, ranging from C$1.62 to C$3.28/t mined. Processing costs and general and administration costs for a 60 ktpd operation (similar to the initial stage of Crawford) were C$8.40/t. Based on the range of grade and ratio of sulphur to nickel, calculated recovery averages 49% for Ni, 56% for Fe, 5% for Co and 21% for Pt and Pd.
10.	Grade estimation was validated by comparison of input and output statistics (Nearest Neighbour and Inverse Distance Squared methods), swath plot analysis, cross-plots of declustered samples against the nearest OK estimate, and by visual inspection of the assay data, block model, and grade shells in cross-sections.
11.	Density estimation was carried out for the mineralized domains using the Ordinary Kriging interpolation method, on the basis of 954 specific gravity measurements collected during the core logging process, using the same block model parameters of the grade estimation. As a reference, the average estimated density value within dunite is 2.62 g/cm ³ (t/m ³ ), while peridotite domains yielded averages of 2.69 g/cm ³ (t/m ³ ) in the west and 2.75 g/cm ³ (t/m ³ ) in the east.
