Original News Release

Nexmetals drills 19.4 m of 3.93% CuEq at Selebi North

Mr. Morgan Lekstrom reports NEXMETALS DRILLS 19.40 METRES OF 3.93% CUEQ INCLUDING 4.02% CUEQ OVER 13.55 METRES SHOWING CONTINUITY OF HIGH-GRADE MINERALIZATION IN THE EXPANSION OF THE SELEBI NORTH DEPOSIT Nexmetals Mining Corp. has released assay results from an additional drill hole intersecting high-grade mineralization at the Selebi North underground deposit. Drill hole SNUG-25-189 was designed to test the continuity of mineralization and confirms a significant extension of the South Limb and N2 mineralization. Highlights: Drill hole SNUG-25-189 intersected South Limb and N2 Limb; South Limb: 4.90 metres of 4.39 per cent copper equivalent (0.73 per cent copper and 1.77 per cent nickel); N2 Limb: 19.40 metres of 3.93 per cent CuEq (1.05 per cent Cu and 1.40 per cent Ni); Including: 13.55 metres of 4.02 per cent CuEq (0.74 per cent Cu and 1.60 per cent Ni); Recent results confirm that the mineralization continues at greater depths, strengthening confidence in the size and continuity of the deposit; Drilling is continuing to evaluate the strike extent of this new mineralization, with assay results pending for SNUG-25-191, which intersected mineralization in South Limb; SNUG-25-192 currently in progress. Morgan Lekstrom, chief executive officer of the company, commented: "Drilling continues to highlight consistent high-grade copper, nickel and cobalt mineralization extending past the limits of the 2024 resource, reinforcing the potential for further expansion. These next holes including drill hole 189 are designed to evaluate the lateral extent of this mineralization and tie the data sets together, with the goal of increasing both the size and confidence of the deposit. Drilling is ongoing, and this release represents the first results from that program." Assay results have been received and reported below in Table 1. Assays are pending for all other drill holes described herein. The various mineralized zones have been historically mined and subsequently named N2 Limb, N3 Limb and South Limb to demarcate their location on the folded mineralized horizon. Additional drilling is needed to properly determine true width of mineralization on each limb and define the folded mineralization. Qualified person All scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Sharon Taylor, vice-president, exploration, of the company, MSc, PGeo, and a qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 and Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K. Quality control Drill core samples are BQTK (40.7-millimetre diameter). All samples are one-half core cut by a diamond saw on site. Half of the core is retained for reference purposes. Samples are generally 1.0- to 1.5-metre intervals or less at the discretion of the site geologists. Sample preparation and lab analysis were completed at ALS Chemex in Johannesburg, South Africa. Commercially prepared blank samples and certified Cu/Ni sulphide analytical control standards with a range of grades are inserted in every batch of 20 samples or a minimum of one set per sample batch. Analyses for Ni, Cu and cobalt are completed using a peroxide fusion preparation and ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP81). Holes are numbered as follows: SNUG (Selebi North underground) plus year plus hole number starting at 013. Technical report The mineral resource estimate on the Selebi mine is supported by the technical report entitled "Technical Report, Selebi Mines, Central District, Republic of Botswana," and dated Sept. 20, 2024 (with an effective date of June 30, 2024), and prepared by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. for Nexmetals. Reference should be made to the full text of the Selebi technical report, which was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K and is available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR, in each case under Nexmetals' issuer profile.
