Platinex Commences Exploration at Shining Tree Gold Project

Platinex Inc. (CSE: PTX) (Frankfurt: 9PX) ("Platinex" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its 225 km 2 Shining Tree Gold Project ("Shining Tree" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Ontario, a world-renowned gold district.

The Company has commenced an exploration program designed to identify new gold targets in five areas located outside the central core of the property that are underexplored yet highly prospective. Prospecting, geological mapping, litho-geochemical sampling, and soil sampling will be carried out in each area (see attached image). The Company has also engaged a resource firm to compile historical data and model previous drilling in the central area and the recently acquired mine area (Ronda Mine). An exploration target review of the Herrick deposit will also be completed to identify potential expansion and infill drilling targets.

Exploration will also cover areas identified by Windfall Geotek Corp.'s ("Windfall") artificial intelligence ("AI") process. Windfall identified several new targets outside of areas of previous exploration activity (see attached image).

Following the conclusion of current activities, the Company will analyze data from newly generated targets and the compilation and modelling of the central area of the Shining Tree property to determine the highest priority targets for further exploration and drilling activities later this year. The exploration plan includes stripping and trenching of the priority targets to generate high quality drill targets.

New Target Generation and Location

Several areas targeted as part of the current exploration program are on ground that Platinex acquired through recent property acquisitions from Treasury Metals Inc. (July 2020), Alamos Gold Inc. (August 2021), and Skead Holdings Limited (March 2022). These areas have not seen exploration activities by Platinex.

Target Area #1 : This target area located within Churchill Township covers several splay faults/shears off the Ridout-Tyrrell Fault Zone ("RTFZ"). Features of interest include potential iron formation within the Porcupine assemblage immediately Northwest of the Herrick Deposit along with the iron formation and the mylonitized, mineralized and deep-seated contact between the Keewatin-Porcupine assemblage in the Churchill and Corona gold occurrences area. Target #1 is characterized by a large magnetic high, with flanking lows, that is similar in size, and exhibits a similar magnetic gravity signature, to that found at the nearby Juby deposit.

Target Area #2 : This target area located in northern MacMurchy Township covers the east-west-trending sheared Keewatin-Porcupine assemblage contact and is host to numerous northwest-trending splay structures off the RTFZ. The target area is coincident with some significant gold-in-till anomalies.

Target Area #3 : This target area occurs in south-central MacMurchy Township and was selected as a priority target by Windfall. The target area is cut by a north-northwest-trending fault like the Michiwakenda Lake Fault, parallel to and 400m east of the Herrick deposit in southeastern Churchill Township.

Target Area #4 : Asquith-Churchill Townships. Like Target Area #1, Target #4 is cut by northwest-trending splay faults/shears emanating from the RTFZ. The area is underlain by mafic to ultramafic flows and intrusive rocks as well felsic to intermediate porphyries. The target area is located on a deep seated, northwest-trending magnetic susceptibility high coincident with several historic gold showings and shafts.

Target Area #5 : The target area which occurs in central Leonard Township is host to potential splay structures similar to the Tyrrell Fault hosting the Juby and other gold deposits in adjacent Tyrrell Township. The target is characterized by a magnetic high coincident with folded iron formation and is considered a favourable setting for gold deposits.

The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Ike Osmani, P. Geo, and Jim Trusler, P. Eng., both of whom are qualified persons for exploration at the Shining Tree Gold Project, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

The W2 Project controls one of the major Oxford Stull Dome complexes. The Shining Tree Project covers a major portion of the Ridout-Tyrrell deformation zone that trends as far west as Newmont's Borden Mine, through the area of IAMGOLD's Cote Gold deposit, and across Aris Gold's Juby Project.

FPX Nickel Announces Inclusion in New Sprott Asset Management Nickel Miners ETF

FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) (OTCQB: FPOCF) (" FPX " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has been included in the newly launched Sprott Asset Management LP Nickel Miners ETF (" NIKL "), a U.S.-listed ETF focused on nickel companies that are providing a critical mineral necessary for the clean energy transition.

"We are very pleased to have met the requirements for inclusion in the new Sprott Nickel Miners ETF, representing validation of our success in advancing our PFS-stage Baptiste Nickel Project in central British Columbia ," commented Martin Turenne , FPX's President and CEO. "Inclusion in this new nickel ETF has the potential to attract additional institutional investment into FPX and increase liquidity, as the ETF is expected to be an important benchmark for investors focused on nickel."

About the Decar Nickel District

The Company's Decar Nickel District represents a large-scale greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization in the form of a naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy called awaruite (Ni ₃ Fe) hosted in an ultramafic/ophiolite complex. FPX's mineral claims cover an area of 245 km ² west of the Middle River and north of Trembleur Lake, in central British Columbia . Awaruite mineralization has been identified in several target areas within the ophiolite complex including the Baptiste Deposit and the Van Target, as confirmed by drilling, petrographic examination, electron probe analyses and outcrop sampling. Since 2010, approximately US $28 million has been spent on the exploration and development of Decar.

Of the four targets in the Decar Nickel District, the Baptiste Deposit has been the focus of increasing resource definition (a total of 99 holes and 33,700 m of drilling completed), as well as environmental and engineering studies to evaluate its potential as a bulk-tonnage open pit mining project. The Baptiste Deposit is located within the Baptiste Creek watershed, on the traditional and unceded territory of Tl'azt'en Nation and Binche Whut'en First Nation, and within several Tl'azt'enne and Binche Whut'enne keyohs. FPX has conducted mineral exploration activities to date subject to the conditions of our agreements with the Nations and keyoh holders.

About FPX Nickel Corp.

FPX Nickel Corp. is focused on the exploration and development of the Decar Nickel District, located in central British Columbia , and other occurrences of the same unique style of naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy mineralization known as awaruite. For more information, please view the Company's website at www.fpxnickel.com or contact Martin Turenne , President and CEO, at (604) 681-8600 or ceo@fpxnickel.com .
