"Homeland Nickel Provides Exploration and Corporate Update

Toronto, Ontario – April 07, 2025 – Homeland Nickel Inc. (" Homeland Nickel " or the " Company ") (TSX-V: SHL, OTC: SRCGF) is pleased to provide an exploration update on its 30% owned Great Burnt Copper and South Pond Gold Properties that are in joint venture with Benton Resources Inc. ("Benton") as well as its majority-owned nickel properties located in Southern Oregon.

Great Burnt Copper, Newfoundland

Benton continues to intersect high-grade copper within the Great Burnt Main Zone and has discovered a second parallel zone (the Footwall Zone) reporting higher grades of gold. For example, hole GB-24-49 intersected 22.0 metres of 7.47% copper (Cu) at 220 metres (m) downhole within the Main Zone and 9.5 m of 0.35% Cu and 0.94 g/t gold (Au) starting at 425 m downhole within the Footwall Zone. Significant intersections from the 2023-2024 exploration programs by Benton into the Great Burnt Main Zone are summarized in Table 1. Based on a long section (Figure 1) the Main Zone has been extended along strike by 400 m and remains open down plunge to the south. The newly discovered Footwall Zone is also open.

South Pond Gold, Newfoundland

Benton conducted a drill program during 2024 encountering thick sections of gold mineralization including 54.50 m of 1.88 g/t Au in hole SP-24-32. Drilling will continue in 2025 with a 15,000 m program planned to expand the shallow mineralization at depth and along strike. Significant intersections are summarized in Table 2 with the assays from three drillholes still pending.

Note: Actual widths of the mineralization are unknown currently

Red Flat Property, Oregon

Previous exploration at Red Flat in 2007-2008 identified a historical nickel resource of 10.4 Mt at 0.84% Ni of measured and indicated plus 8.3 Mt at 0.80% Ni of inferred for a total of 317 million pounds of contained nickel using a 0.7% Ni-cutoff (AJR Consulting Inc., 2009). The resource is not compliant with NI 43-101 standards as it was not published prior to the property being acquired by Homeland Nickel.

During July 2024, Homeland Nickel visited the property with the Forest Service to review road access and to locate up to 50 sonic drillhole locations for a future exploration program. The property is road accessible across its entire length via a well-maintained gravel road with several unmaintained trails extending across the property to provide excellent overall access. Of historical significance was the presence of several large trenches (see Figure 2) that are thought to have been excavated during the 1950s by the United States Government (possibly the United States Geological Survey) where nickel laterite was exposed for vertical thicknesses up to 15 ft.

A total of forty-four (44) sonic drillhole locations were spotted and photographed and a subsequent Plan of Operation has been submitted to the Forest Service for approval. The purpose of this drill program is to determine the vertical extent of the nickel laterite along both a north-south and east-west corridor in an area with good road access. A bulk sample program is also planned whereby Homeland Nickel will excavate approximately 2,000 pounds of nickel laterite across the various exposed trenches using pickaxes and shovels to minimize the amount of surface disturbance. This material will be subject to mineralogy and metallurgy reviews as well as to determine if the nickel can be removed in-situ.

Cleopatra Property, Oregon

Cleopatra has a historical resource (not NI 43-101 compliant) of 19.803 Mt of 0.94% Ni in the measured and indicated categories as well as 19.671 Mt of 0.92% Ni in the inferred category for a total of 733 million pounds of contained nickel. The Company visited the property in 2024 and discovered that while the property could be accessed directly by four-wheel drive truck, access within the property was mostly limited to quad-runners. Homeland Nickel has proposed a sonic-hole program consisting of up to 16 shallow holes each drilled to a maximum depth of 50 feet. A Plan of Operation was submitted to the US Forest Service in August 2024 for approval.

Eight Dollar Mountain, Oregon

The Eight Dollar Mountain Property ("Eight Dollar") is located west of the town of Selma, Oregon and is directly accessible by road. Nickel laterite is evident at surface across much of the property. A sampling program is scheduled for 2025 to obtain several undisturbed samples of nickel laterite for assaying (approximately 500 g per sample). Historic exploration at Eight Dollar has confirmed nickel laterite over a very wide area of variable grade. Homeland Nickel staked 115 mining claims in 2024 totalling 2,376 ac and has a 100% interest in the property.

Shamrock Property, Oregon

The Shamrock Property ("Shamrock") consists of 40 mining claims totalling 758 ac, and is located 20 miles northwest of Medford, Oregon. Access is via a local gravel road extending into the property from a paved highway to within a few hundred meters of the historical workings and was visited by Homeland Nickel in August 2024. An exploration program at Shamrock is planned for 2025 to relocate the historical workings and sample local outcrops. The property was explored in 1952-53 and a bulk sample of 200-lb was removed which assayed 1.3% Ni, 1.1% Cu and 0.03 oz/t Pt. High-grade manganese was also removed and processed with assays returning 23.1-32.3% Mn. Shamrock is considered a high-grade nickel sulphide prospect, 100% owned by Homeland Nickel.

Corporate Update

Homeland Nickel continues to own a significant amount of Canada Nickel Company Inc. (TSXV: CNC) and Benton (TSXV: BEX) shares. With the recent announcement by Benton of a lithium spin-out (Vinland Lithium Inc., see Benton's news release dated January 16, 2025) and dividend of shares to existing Benton shareholders, Homeland Nickel will benefit from its share holding of 12,682,000 BEX common shares, approximately 6.5% of Benton's issued common shares. These spin-out shares will be held by the Company for investment purposes.

The Company has submitted a Plan of Operation for both Red Flat and Cleopatra to the US Forest Service and is expecting for a mid-spring 2025 field program. As part of the Plan of Operation, Homeland Nickel must show that its mining claims have been in good standing since 2014 and that each mining claim to be explored has prior indication of economic minerals present prior to a 2015 withdraw order which now limits exploration to existing staked prospects.

Vertex Minerals Limited  Identifies Fully Developed Stope Block for Production

Vertex Minerals Limited Identifies Fully Developed Stope Block for Production

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Vertex Minerals Limited (ASX:VTX) (OTCMKTS:VTXXF) is pleased to announce that the Company's engineering and geology team at the Reward Mine have identified an additional two stope block that have not been previously reported.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- VTX's Technical Services team has identified a fully developed stope block to include in the mine production start-up.

- Stopes are suitable for airleg mining which will augment jumbo production.

- Stope blocks contains an Inferred Resource of 2,075 tonnes at 17.8 g/t Au and forms part of the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate. With the lower block having over 700 tonnes at 42.5 g/t. The planned stope width is the same as the interpretation of the mineralisation. (Refer to Table 1 in Appendices 1*) (VTX ASX announcement 22/06/23)

- Stopes are additional to the PFS mine schedule which is illustrated in Figure 2 showing the location of the additional stope.

- Stope blocks are fully developed and have been sampled from development.

- This stope can be exploited as soon as services have been established.

These stopes will be incorporated into the overall mine schedule, but provide an early source of mill feed.

The stopes were developed by a previous operator and are accessible from existing development. The additional stope blocks contain an Inferred Resource of 2,075 tonnes at 17.8 g/t Au containing 1,189 ounces of gold with the lower block having over 700 tonnes at 42.5 g/t. The planned stope width is the same as the interpretation of the mineralisation. These stopes forms part of the Mineral Resource Estimate reported in VTX Announcement 22 June 2023. They were not included in the production forecast detailed in the 2024 Pre-Feasibility Study (Announcement 3 January 2024). This was due to the complexity of existing airleg workings and uncertainty around access and ground conditions, which established these areas into an Inferred Resource Category.

Note: 'The Mineral Resources are additional to the Ore Reserves.'

Subsequent investigations have concluded that the stopes are fully developed and accessible. The quartz veins are exposed in the existing development and have been sampled. The Company plans to exploit this stope once the mine services have been established and bring this stope into the initial stages of the production schedule.

Vertex's Executive Chairman, Roger Jackson commented: "Our new technical team has been established, and it is great to see them looking for the opportunities to add value to the high grade underground production start-up.

This really does show the potential this mine has for high grade expansion. We are in the process of re-opening the underground mine with the establishment of mine services. Dewatering of the declines has commenced and is progressing to schedule."
