First Atlantic Nickel Corp. announces the addition of four drill holes to the Phase 2X drilling program at the RPM Zone in Newfoundland. All ten RPM Zone holes confirm recoverable awaruite nickel alloy, with the potential to expand the zone further based on successful drilling results.

The new drill holes aim to extend the RPM Zone strike length to 1.4 kilometers and the width to 850 meters. Holes AN-25-11 and AN-25-12 will test the eastern extension toward Chrome Pond, while AN-25-13 and AN-25-14 will explore northern and southern extensions, respectively.

Magnetic separation at the site could lead to a secure and sustainable North American nickel supply chain through awaruite, a nickel-iron-cobalt alloy. This process could eliminate the need for energy-intensive smelting and roasting, providing a more environmentally friendly and secure onshore supply chain for nickel and cobalt.

The Company has maintained a 100% discovery success rate at the RPM Zone and is rapidly expanding the drilling program to explore the full potential of the area. The metallurgical program is ongoing, with updates on recovery and concentrate products expected in early 2026.
