Canada Nickel Completes Drill Program at Deloro with Resource Estimate Expected in July

Highlights

2024 drilling increases mineralized footprint by 50% to 1.2 kilometres long by up to 700 metres wide.
Deloro is located just 8 kilometres south of Timmins with direct road and powerline access and shallow overburden averaging less than 9 metres thick.
11 holes successfully completed including DEL24-12 with 0.26% nickel over 431 metres and DEL24-17 with 0.27% nickel over 293 metres.
Resource estimate is underway and expected to be completed in July 2024 .

Canada Nickel Company Inc. (" Canada Nickel " or the " Company ") (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) is pleased to provide an update on its 2024 exploration program with assay results from eleven holes on its Deloro property ("Deloro"), which now completes the infill drilling in advance of the first resource estimate.

Mark Selby , CEO of Canada Nickel said, "We are very pleased with the 2024 drilling program at Deloro which built on our successful campaign in 2022. Deloro is just 8 km south of Timmins , with shallow overburden and a large 1.2 km long and up to 0.7 km wide footprint. Work is now underway on our initial resource on the property which is expected to be one of seven resource estimates that we plan to complete within the next 12 months. With this work amongst the rest of our portfolio, we are clearly demonstrating that our regional exploration program continues to be very successful. We now have seven drill rigs turning. This includes two rigs collecting samples for pilot plant material from Crawford to support downstream processing test work, and five rigs exploring at Reid and Texmont. Once drilling is completed at these properties, we will begin drilling at our Mann properties."

Deloro Property

The Deloro Property is located just 8 km south of Timmins and is accessible year-round by road as well as located less than 2 km from existing powerlines. The Company has successfully completed its infill drilling program, with ten of eleven drill holes intersecting long intervals of mineralized ultramafic, mostly dunite. The drillholes were collared predominantly near the east and south contacts to infill and extend the previously defined outline of the ultramafic from historic geophysical data. The mineralized ultramafic body is up to 700 m wide and about 1.2 km long, to a depth of 300 m (where it remains open). Mineralization is relatively shallow with less than 9 m of overburden on average across all drillholes.

Canada Nickel has completed a geological model of the deposit and expects an initial resource estimate to be completed in July.

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.
