Nexcel Metals Commences Airborne Geophysical Survey at Burnt Hill Tungsten Project, New Brunswick
Advancing Burnt Hill Tungsten Project toward inaugural drill campaign

Executive Summary
- On April 7, 2026 Nexcel Metals Corp. announced the commencement of a 1,480 km airborne geophysical survey at the Burnt Hill Tungsten Project in New Brunswick.
- The survey is being conducted by Xcalibur MPH (Canada) Ltd. using an HeliTEM® TDEM system with magnetic data acquisition.
- Survey specifications: ~100 m line spacing, 21 m transmitter loop, multi‑component EM collection, real‑time GPS navigation and safety monitoring.
- Objectives include identifying new drill targets, mapping conductive structures linked to tungsten mineralization, supporting Phase 1 drilling planned for summer 2026, and upgrading geological/geophysical models.
- The Burnt Hill property hosts a NI 43‑101 indicated resource of 1.76 Mt at 0.292% WO₃ (≈8.99 Mlb W) plus inferred resources.
- CEO Hugh Rogers described the survey as a “major milestone” that will enhance targeting and position the company for a strong inaugural drill campaign in 2026.
Material Impact
- The announcement is an operational update consistent with prior disclosures:
- March 19, 2026: engagement of Xcalibur for the HeliTEM survey.
- March 24, 2026: expansion of the Burnt Hill claim block to ~5,677 ha.
- No immediate financial impact, earnings guidance, or material change to the resource base is disclosed.
- The survey represents a routine, expected step in advancing the project toward its planned summer drilling program; therefore it is Routine‑Positive rather than material.
