Nickel North samples 1.3 m of 2.22% Cu at Hawk Ridge

Nickel North re-assays confirm historical grades at the Hawk Ridge project, advancing the deposit toward a preliminary economic assessment.

Executive Summary

Nickel North Exploration Corp. (NNX) has released re-assay results from historical drill core at its 100%-owned Hawk Ridge project in Northern Quebec. The program validated historical copper and nickel assays from 1996/1997 drilling, confirming the reliability of the company's database. Additionally, new measured values for platinum, palladium, gold, cobalt, iron, and sulphur were added to intervals that were previously unassayed for these metals.

Key intercepts from the re-assays include 1.3 m of 2.22% Cu, up to 1.51 g/t Au, and a record combined PGE value of 4.17 g/t Pd+Pt. These results directly support the preparation of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and strengthen the case for an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). This release follows the July 2026 exploration program launch and June 2026 planning announcements, fulfilling the company's stated objective to validate historical data and advance toward economic studies.

Material Impact

Nickel North Exploration Corp. (NNX) released results that serve as a direct follow-up to its 2026 exploration program, aligning with management’s prior guidance to prepare for a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) and a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) update. The company validated historical assays and added precious metal data, a standard technical step in early-stage resource development.

The positive technical data reinforces the geological model but does not change the project's pre-revenue status or immediate operational footprint. These findings do not alter the company's financial trajectory, capital requirements, or near-term development timeline.
