First Atlantic Nickel Corp. (OTCQB: FANCF) (TSX-V: FAN) REPORTS PRELIMINARY DTR METALLURGICAL RESULTS: RPM ZONE YIELDS 1.37% NICKEL MAGNETIC CONCENTRATE OVER 383.1 METRES - First Atlantic Nickel Corp. (FSE: P21) ("First Atlantic" or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive preliminary Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) metallurgical test results from drill hole AN-24-02 at the RPM Zone at its 100%-owned Atlantic Nickel Project in central Newfoundland. The testing produced a magnetic concentrate averaging 1.37% nickel and 1.73% chromium across 133 samples over the entire 383.1-meter length of the hole. These encouraging results confirm the potential for cost-effective magnetic separation as a viable processing method for the awaruite nickel mineralization previously reported at the RPM Zone.

The Company previously announced (March 4, 2025) that drill hole AN-24-02 returned assays averaging 0.24% nickel and 0.32% chromium over its entire 383.1-meter length, with coarse-grained awaruite visibly disseminated throughout the drill core. The DTR testing has now demonstrated that this nickel can be effectively concentrated through magnetic separation, a key step toward establishing a potential smelter-free development pathway for the project.

DTR Test Highlights:

  • High-Grade Magnetic Concentrate : Average magnetic concentrate grade of 1.37% nickel and 1.73% chromium across 133 samples over 383.1 meters, with concentrate up to 2.33% nickel and 8.17% chromium.
  • Significant Volume Reduction : Mass-pull average of 9.5% over 383.1 meters, reducing total volume by 91.5% and creating an ideal feedstock for further processing
  • Strong Recovery Rates : Calculated recoveries averaging 52.4% (up to 63%) over the entire drill hole length.
  • DTR Nickel Values : Average DTR nickel of 0.13% (up to 0.16%) over 383.1 meters
  • Cobalt Recovery : Cobalt was also recovered in the magnetic concentrate, adding potential for a valuable by-product.
  • Chromium Potential : Significant chromium values in the magnetic concentrate merit further evaluation as a potential by-product.
  • Phase 2 Drilling Program : Phase 2 drilling is set to begin soon, utilizing new road access and a higher-power NQ/HQ drill rig to target deeper mineralization and expand the 500m × 400m mineralized area at RPM. The program is fully funded by a recently closed strategic, non-dilutive $3M raise.

"These metallurgical results are extremely significant for our Atlantic Nickel Project," said Adrian Smith, CEO of First Atlantic Nickel. "Not only have we confirmed extensive nickel mineralization at the RPM Zone, but we've now demonstrated that a substantial portion of this nickel can be recovered using simple, environmentally friendly magnetic separation techniques. The ability to achieve a 91.5% volume reduction while producing a concentrate grading 1.37% nickel represents a major step toward our goal of developing a North American source of nickel that doesn't require traditional smelting."

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) has recently released its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024 by posting an update on its Investor Relations website. Please visit https://ir.tesla.com to view the update.

"In the fourth quarter, we produced approximately 459,000 vehicles, delivered over 495,000 vehicles and deployed 11.0 GWh of energy storage products – a record for both deliveries and deployments. Thank you to all of our customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders and supporters who helped us achieve these results."

FPX Nickel Corp. (OTCQB: FPOCF)   (TSX-V: FPX) recently announced results from an Awaruite Refinery Scoping Study (the "Study") which demonstrates a compelling business case for the development of a standalone refinery (the "Refinery") to refine awaruite concentrate into battery-grade nickel sulphate for the electric vehicle ("EV") industry, along with producing valuable cobalt, copper, and ammonium sulphate by-products.

The Study has been prepared by Wood Canada Limited and all amounts are in US Dollars unless otherwise indicated. The Study relates to a standalone industrial project and anticipates the production of awaruite ore from projects that are not limited to mineral projects of the Company; without limiting the foregoing, the Study is separate and standalone from the Baptiste Nickel Project, which demonstrated the technical and commercial advantage of mining and concentrating awaruite ore to a high-grade awaruite concentrate.

Power Metallic Mines Inc. (OTCBB: PNPNF) (TSX-V: PNPN) recently announced the return of the 5 holes of the fall campaign. These holes were testing multiple targets in the Lion zone area.   Hole PN-24-095a tested the interpreted plunge of the Lion zone below previous drill holes. Power Nickel previously released photos of mineralized core from hole PN-24-095a (news release January 21, 2025), and assays have now confirmed that extension of the high-grade zone.

Drill holes PN-24-082 to PN-24-085 inclusive, were designed to intersect the target horizon 100-200m west of known mineralization at depths below the ground and airborne EM signals), therefore they were testing unknown locations along the target horizon. Although the holes passed through the target horizon they only returned weakly geochemically anomalous Pt and Pd (up to 0.14g/t combined). These holes were specifically located to provide platforms for borehole EM (BHEM) surveys, which will be carried out this month. The BHEM should give a 'look' radius of 150-200 meters around the hole for any off-hole conductors indicative of mineralization.

TMC the metals company Inc. (NASDAQ: TMC) , an explorer of the world's largest undeveloped resource of critical battery metals, recently announced that it had successfully produced a high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt alloy and manganese silicate during a smelting campaign, run as part of the 18-month feasibility program designed to process a 2,000-tonne sample of deep-seafloor polymetallic nodules at its partner PAMCO's Rotary Kiln Electric-Arc Furnace (RKEF) operating facility in Hachinohe, Japan.

Following the recovery of 3,000 tonnes of nodules during 2022 test mining by TMC's subsidiary Nauru Ocean Resources Inc (NORI) from its exploration contract area D in the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ), 2,000 tonnes were delivered to PAMCO's RKEF plant to go through a feasibility program consisting of calcining and smelting campaigns. Following the commercial-scale production of calcine in September 2024, over a 14-day continuous smelting campaign in January and February 2025, PAMCO operators fed approximately 450 tonnes of calcine material into a 3,000 kVA DC electric-arc furnace and produced high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt alloy and manganese silicate [see video]. By utilizing existing processing capacity with minimal modifications to existing equipment, TMC can avoid the high costs and risks associated with building new processing plants, while demonstrating the feasibility of integrating processing of CCZ nodules into established metallurgical operations.

About the Baptiste Nickel Project

The Company's Baptiste Nickel Project represents a large-scale greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization in the form of a sulphur-free, nickel-iron mineral called awaruite (Ni 3 Fe) hosted in an ultramafic/ophiolite complex. The absence of sulphur and our ability to connect to the BC Hydro grid means that Baptiste has the potential to be one of the lowest carbon-intensive nickel producers in the world and will produce a very high grade product that does not required any intermediate smelting or complex refining. The Baptiste mineral claims cover an area of 453 km 2 west of Middle River and north of Trembleur Lake, in central British Columbia . In addition to the Baptiste Deposit itself, awaruite mineralization has been confirmed through drilling at several target areas within the same claims package, most notably at the Van Target which is located 6 km to the north of the Baptiste Deposit. Since 2010, approximately US$55 million has been spent on the exploration and development of Baptiste.

FPX has conducted mineral exploration activities to date subject to the conditions of agreements with First Nations and keyoh holders.

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.

FPX Nickel Publishes Scoping Study Report for North America's Largest Nickel Sulphate Refinery

FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) (OTCQB: FPOCF) (" FPX " or the " Company ") announces that further to its news release dated February 24, 2025 it has published the Report for the Awaruite Refinery Scoping Study (the " Study ") on its website at https:fpxnickel.comprojects-overviewawaruite-refinery .

FPX Nickel logo (CNW Group/FPX Nickel Corp.)

The Study demonstrates a compelling business case for the development of a standalone refinery (the " Refinery ") to refine awaruite concentrate into battery-grade nickel sulphate for the electric vehicle (" EV ") industry, along with producing valuable cobalt, copper, and ammonium sulphate by-products. The Study has been prepared by Wood Canada Limited and all amounts are in US Dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Highlights

  • Strong Economics: After-tax NPV 8% of $445 million and IRR of 20% at $8.50 /lb Ni
  • Large-Scale, Long Life : 40-year operating life producing 32,000 tpa of nickel contained in battery-grade nickel sulphate
  • Valuable Products: Production of battery-grade nickel sulphate for the EV industry, and by-products including cobalt, copper, and ammonium sulphate, a valuable fertilizer product for the agricultural sector
  • Low Cost: Total estimated operating costs of $1,598 /t Ni, or $133 /t Ni ( $0.06 /lb Ni) on a by-product basis for refining awaruite concentrate to battery-grade nickel sulphate, resulting in total all-in production costs of $8,290 /t Ni ( $3.76 /lb Ni) for nickel sulphate generated from awaruite mineralization (inclusive of mining, processing, refining, on a by-product basis), with both figures ranking in the lowest decile of the respective global nickel sulphate cost curves
  • Low Carbon : A carbon intensity of 0.2 tCO2/t Ni for refining operations, resulting in a total all-in carbon intensity of 1.4 t CO2/t Ni for nickel sulphate generated from awaruite mineralization, which is magnitudes lower than current nickel sulphate production routes

The Study reinforces the opportunity for the development of an integrated, made-in- Canada solution from mine-to-battery, utilizing awaruite concentrate as a lynchpin source of nickel, with conventional refining steps underpinning low-cost, low-carbon nickel production for use in domestic and allied country EV battery supply chains. The Study is described more fully in the FPX news release dated February 24, 2025 , and incorporates the flowsheet advancements outlined in the Company's previously reported pilot-scale hydrometallurgical testwork results (see the FPX news release dated October 15, 2024 ).
