Canada Nickel Company Announces Assay Results and Confirms Discovery at Reid Property

Highlights

Assays achieved expected grades over entire core length of 354 metres: 0.24% nickel including 15 metres of 0.39% nickel and 6 metres of 0.57% nickel
Confirmed same mineralogy as Company's flagship Crawford Project
Reid property has larger geophysical footprint than Crawford
Crawford resource update expected to be released by July 6, 2022

Canada Nickel Company Inc. ("Canada Nickel" or the "Company ") (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) announced today assay results at its Reid property, where two drill holes have been completed as part of its regional exploration program. Drilling was highlighted by hole REI21-02 which intersected 354 meters of 0.24% nickel and includes 15 meters of 0.39% nickel and 6 meters of 0.57% nickel. Mineralogy completed on samples from these holes confirmed that they contain the same heazlewoodite-pentlandite-awaruite minerals as Crawford.

Mark Selby , Chair and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are very pleased with our drilling on the Reid target. The assay results from the second hole achieved expected grades over 354 metres and contains a core of higher grade mineralization of 15 metres of 0.39% nickel, and the first hole intersected a PGM zone similar to that at Crawford.
We are continuing to drill Reid as we highlight the resource potential of this target with a larger geophysical footprint than our original Crawford discovery. Additionally, we are looking forward to the release of our updated resource estimate for Crawford expected to be released by July 6, 2022 ."

Reid Nickel Property

The Reid Property is located just 16 kilometres southwest of Crawford and contains an ultramafic target that measures 3.3 kilometres north-south by 2.1 kilometres east-west based on the total magnetic intensity ("TMI") (see Figure 1). Hole REI-22-02 collared on dunite in the SE corner of the target, and was drilled to the NW. It remained in dunite for a total length of 354 metres grading 0.24% nickel, with a higher-grade section near the bottom of the hole intersecting 0.39% nickel over 15 metres (see table 1A). The hole ended in mineralized dunite, and the contact is open to the north.

REI22-01 collared on dunite in the same setup, drilling towards the south contact where the magnetic anomaly is at its highest. The hole transitioned from dunite to a sequence of peridotite-pyroxenite-gabbro similar to that seen at Crawford. The pyroxenite in the sequence yielded 1.6g/t Pt+Pd over 4.5 metres (see Table 1B ) similar in grade and thickness to PGM zone at Crawford.

Mineralogy completed on samples from these holes confirmed that they contain the same heazlewoodite-pentlandite-awaruite minerals as Crawford.

As of June, drilling at Reid resumed with a helicopter supported program that will test the extent of the anomaly.

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.
