Nexcel Completes Airborne Geophysical Survey at Burnt Hill and Proceeds to Data Set Analysis for Drill Target Definition

Nexcel Advances Burnt Hill Drilling Pipeline Amidst Strategic Wyloo Backing and Capital Raise

Executive Summary

Nexcel Metals Corp. completed an airborne geophysical survey (HeliTEM) at its Burnt Hill Tungsten Project in New Brunswick on May 19, 2026.
The company has engaged Condor North Consulting ULC to process and interpret the new data integrated with historical datasets.
The primary objective is to refine a targeting model for a planned Phase 1 drilling program scheduled for Summer 2026.
Survey scope covered approximately 1,755 line-kilometres using Xcalibur MPH’s HeliTEM system with 100-metre line spacing.
This follows the April 29, 2026 filing of a prospectus supplement for an offering of up to $5,000,000 at $1.00 per share, which closed around May 13, 2026.
Management states the survey represents a significant milestone in advancing the project toward drilling and prioritizing high-quality targets.

Material Impact

The news is categorized as Routine - Positive because it confirms an expected operational milestone rather than introducing new fundamental value or financial terms.
Completion of the geophysical survey was anticipated following the April 2026 announcement of the survey commencement; therefore, market expectations were already priced in.
No new resource estimate has been released to validate the historical 2013 NI 43-101 data referenced repeatedly in recent releases.
The financing completed mid-May ($2.5M-$5M at $1.00/share) provides runway but introduces dilution; the stock price currently trades above the offering price (~$1.13 vs $1.00), suggesting limited immediate upside from this specific capital raise alone.
Strategic investor Wyloo Ring of Fire Ltd. holds a significant stake (approx. 28.7% post-exercise), which adds credibility but does not guarantee immediate project monetization without drill results.
