Chakana Announces Closing of C$1.25 M Financing with Strategic Placement from EMR Capital

Chakana Copper Corp. (TSXV: PERU,OTC:CHKKF) (FSE: 1ZX0) (the "Company" or "Chakana") is pleased to announce that further to its news release dated September 11, 2025, it has completed a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of 17,857,156 units ("Units") at a price of C$0.07 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$1,250,000.92.

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of C$0.09 per Share for a period of three years from closing of the Private Placement.

David Kelley, President and CEO commented, "We are excited to see such strong support for the financing and to welcome EMR Capital as a new shareholder. The primary use of the proceeds will be for evaluating new opportunities at a time of very strong copper and precious metal prices."

EMR Capital Management Limited ("EMR Capital") is a global private equity firm focused on the natural resources sector, leveraging their extensive operational expertise to identify new opportunities throughout the resources life cycle and unlock value for their shareholders. EMR Capital combines operational excellence and environmental stewardship with a sincere commitment to providing long-term sustainable benefits to host communities.

EMR Capital acquired 4,947,948 Units in the Private Placement for total proceeds of C$346,356.33, resulting in a 10.5% non-diluted equity interest in the Company. Pursuant to an investor rights agreement between the Company and EMR Capital, EMR Capital was granted customary anti-dilution rights to maintain its ownership interest, the right to nominate one director to the Company's board of directors and the right to appoint a project advisor to support and oversee the Company's mineral project. In addition, an officer of the Company purchased an aggregate of 3,166,686 Units in the Private Placement for total proceeds of C$221,668.05.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement to evaluate new opportunities, exploration, and for general working capital and administrative purposes. There are no proposed payments to persons conducting investor relations activities.

Chakana paid aggregate cash finder's fees of C$1,928.67 and issued 27,552 non-transferable finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") in connection with the Private Placement. Each Finder's Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Share at a price of C$0.09 per Share for a period of three years from closing of the Private Placement.

All securities issued in the Private Placement are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on January 27, 2026 in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws in jurisdictions outside of Canada. The Private Placement remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

In addition, the Company announces that the TSX Venture Exchange has approved the previously announced debt settlement with certain directors, officers and consultants (the "Creditors") for management fees and services previously provided as disclosed on September 24, 2025. This transaction fully settles all remaining board and management debt. The Debt Shares are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.

An insider participated in the Private Placement and certain members of the Company's management team participated in the shares-for-debt transaction, which involved the issuance of securities to related parties as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Such participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(c) and 5.7(1)(a). The Company further confirms that, other than EMR Capital becoming a new insider as a result of its participation in the Private Placement, these issuances will not result in the creation of any additional insiders or control persons.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

FPX Nickel Signs Exploration Agreement with Takla Nation for Klow Property

FPX Nickel Signs Exploration Agreement with Takla Nation for Klow Property

 FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) (OTCQB: FPOCF) (" FPX " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce the signing of an Exploration Agreement (the " Agreement ") with the Takla Nation for exploration activities associated with the Klow property in central British Columbia . The Agreement outlines a collaborative framework for FPX and Takla Nation to move forward responsibly with early-stage exploration, establishing important protocols for engagement, environmental protection, employment, training, and business opportunities.

"This Agreement underscores our commitment to engagement with Indigenous communities from the earliest stages of our exploration work," said Martin Turenne , President, CEO, and Director of FPX. "We look forward to continuing to work with the Takla Nation, guided by transparency, respect, and a shared vision for sustainable development in Takla territory."

"The signing of this agreement marks an important step in strengthening our relationship with FPX. By establishing clear principles for engagement, this agreement ensures that our voices are heard from the earliest stages of exploration," commented Chief John French of Takla Nation. "We look forward to working collaboratively with FPX to protect our lands and ensure shared benefits for our community."

Background

The Klow Property is situated approximately 120 km northwest of Fort St. James and around 45 km north of FPX's flagship Baptiste Nickel Project. Portions of the Klow Property are accessible via an all-season public road which connects Fort St. James to Takla Landing . Like the Baptiste Nickel Project, the exploration target for the Klow property is nickel in the form of awaruite, a sulphur-free, nickel-iron mineral (Ni 3 Fe) hosted by serpentinized ultramafic rocks.

Exploration at the Klow Property has advanced in several stages since its initial evaluation. Between 2010 and 2012, FPX conducted geological mapping and rock sampling that delineated a large awaruite target area measuring approximately 1.5 by 1.0 kilometres, with encouraging surface grades. In 2012, a five-hole, 1,579-metre diamond drill program tested a portion of this target, with hole DH-4 intersecting 316 metres grading 0.10% nickel-in-alloy 1 from 10 metres downhole. In 2024, the Company re-analyzed 68 archived core samples from DH-4 using Davis Tube Recoverable (DTR) methods, which confirmed strong correlation with historical nickel-in-alloy values and returned DTR nickel grades averaging 7–10% higher than the original nickel-in-alloy results. Also in 2024, FPX expanded the Klow mineral claims to 251 km 2 , covering mainly prospective ultramafic rocks of the Trembleur Ultramafite, host to mineralization at Baptiste.

As announced in May 2025 , FPX undertook a summer 2025 surface rock sampling program, 100% funded by the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security (" JOGMEC "). The Agreement with Takla Nation will enable planning and readiness for future exploration activities.

Klow Property Earn-In Agreement

As previously disclosed, FPX and JOGMEC have entered into an earn-in agreement (the " Klow Earn-In Agreement ") which provides JOGMEC the option to earn a beneficial interest in the Company's Klow Property in central British Columbia .

The key terms of the Klow Earn-in Agreement are as follows:

  • FPX grants to JOGMEC the option to earn a 60% beneficial interest in Klow by funding $1,000,000 in exploration expenditures by no later than March 31, 2027 (extended from a prior deadline of March 31, 2026 by mutual agreement of the parties)
  • Once JOGMEC has earned its 60% beneficial interest in Klow, the parties will thereafter fund exploration expenditures pro rata to their ownership interest
  • If either party's beneficial interest in Klow is diluted below 10%, that party's beneficial interest will be converted into a 1.5% NSR royalty over Klow, with the other party retaining a right to buy-back 1.0% of the NSR royalty for $3,500,000

Note 1: results were obtained by geochemical analysis and may not accurately represent Davis Tube Recoverable (DTR) nickel grades. DTR nickel values refer to the portion of the total contained nickel that is recovered from a magnetically separated fraction of the sample. Nickel-in-alloy results refer to nickel recovered by a selective geochemical leach which targets nickel contained in awaruite. While both methods measure nickel in awaruite, awaruite particle exposure and grain size influence each method slightly differently, therefore these results are not directly comparable.

Keith Patterson , P.Geo., FPX's Vice President, Exploration, FPX's Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical content of this news release.

About FPX Nickel Corp.

FPX Nickel Corp. is focused on the exploration and development of the Baptiste Nickel Project, located in central British Columbia , and other occurrences of the same unique style of naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy mineralization known as awaruite.
