(TSXV: FAN) (OTC Pink: ACPRF) (FSE: P210) (formerly Avante Mining Corp.) ("FAN" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a public relations marketing agreement dated May 12, 2024 (the "Agreement") with Think Ink Marketing Data and Email Services, Inc. ("Think Ink"), to provide public relations services in an effort to increase public awareness of the Company and its securities.

Think Ink is a California-based marketing firm established in 1991 that provides its customers with a complete range of marketing services that includes data appending, e-mail marketing and pay-per-click on-line banner/native ads. Think Ink helps its clients to reach a large network of potential investors. The Company has budgeted up to US$100,000 for the marketing services of Think Ink during the initial Term; Think Ink's services to the Company will include the creation and distribution of marketing materials, on-line banner and native ads.

The Agreement is for an initial 6-month term (the "Term") with either party having the right at any time to terminate upon 30 days written notice. At the end of each term, the agreement will automatically renew for an additional Term, unless either Party provides the other Party with written notice of termination.

The engagement of Think Ink is another piece of FAN's strategy to bring global visibility to the Company as it strives to establish itself as a leader in the nickel industry. This strategic move complements the initial engagements of Xander Capital Partners Inc. and TD Media LLC d/b/a Life Water Media. With a combined budget allocation of up to US$320,000 over the next 12 months, FAN will work to maximize visibility and market presence through robust investor outreach campaigns.

The Company also anticipates unveiling its redesigned corporate website and presentation, in addition to other marketing initiatives in the following two weeks as it prepares to launch its 2024 field programs at the Atlantic Nickel (Pipestone Awaruite) and Voisey's West projects. The Atlantic Nickel project is a bulk tonnage target with a similar deposit style to FPX Nickel's (FPX) Dacar project, and Canada Nickel Company's (CNC) Crawford project where CNC has completed a preliminary economic assessment only 20 months after the commencement of exploration drilling that indicates a 25-year mine with an after-tax net present value (8%) of $1.2-billion. The Voisey's West project is a high-grade nickel project, where the Company identified new high-grade nickel intercepts in its maiden 2023 drill program including 9 metres grading 1.12% Nickel.

Think Ink and FAN are not related parties and operate at arm's length. Neither Think Ink nor its principals have any interest in the Company's securities, directly or indirectly, or any right or intent to acquire such an interest.
