BDF22-002 Highlights
The hole was drilled to a depth of 452 m and intersected two broad zones of Ni-Cu-Co sulphide bearing mineralization totalling 175.15 m of composite thickness
Best drillhole intersection to date on the HPM Property, drilled 120 m along strike to the north of HPM-08-003, the previous best hole which intersected 52.15 m grading 2.04% NiEq. (1.52% Ni, 0.79% Cu, 0.08% Co starting at 74.45m)
The hole successfully confirmed mineralization approximately 85 m downdip from DH-151-02 and approximately 55 m up dip of DH-151-05EX
The bulk of the mineralization was intersected outside of the previously modelled zone (Figure 1 & 2)
Results continue to show a strong correlation between previously released pXRF results and lab assays (Table 2)
'Today's results speak for themselves, BDF22-002 is one of the top nickel-sulphide intersections made at a pre-resource project globally over the last several years. These results demonstrate the significance of the
'The scale of mineralization observed in BDF22-002 is exceptional and confirms BDF is part of a major magmatic nickel sulphide mineralizing system. The results from BDF22-002 are significant milestone for the Company and demonstrate that we are only scratching the surface of the exploration potential at the HPM property. The team is eagerly progressing on the maiden resource at the
BDF22-002 Mineralization
The mineralization observed in BDF22-002 occurs within two separate zones. The upper zone comprises multi-metre intervals of massive and breccia sulphide within zones of stringer and disseminated sulphide mineralization hosted in peridotite and gabbronorite (Figure 3 & 4).
The lower zone of mineralization (303.55 m to 357.50 m) comprises primarily disseminated sulphide, over a broad 53.95m wide zone hosted within a gabbronorite.
The sulphide mineralization consists of pyrrhotite with granular pentlandite and chalcopyrite loops with pentlandite. The massive sulphide mineralization is predominantly hosted in a dark, moderately serpentinized peridotite and lesser olivine gabbronorites and a dark, fine grained norite. The primary magmatic sulphide mineral textures coupled with the development of disseminated sulphide mineralization and magmatic breccias indicate that the mineralization is similar to chonolith style deposits like Voisey's Bay. Work progresses to define the stratigraphic controls of the intrusive rocks on the distribution of massive, breccia, and disseminated sulphide types; these controls will guide future exploration in the extension and discovery of additional mineral zone along strike and at depth.

Forward?Looking Information
The content and grades of any mineral deposits at the Company's properties are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource on the property and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in any target being delineated as a mineral resource.
Certain information set forth in this news release may contain forward-looking information that involves substantial known and unknown risks and uncertainties. This forward-looking information is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the control of the Company, including, but not limited to, the impact of general economic conditions, industry conditions, and dependence upon regulatory approvals. FLI herein includes, but is not limited to: future drill results; stakeholder engagement and relationships; parameters and methods used with respect to the assay results; the prospects, if any, of the deposits; future prospects at the deposits; and the significance of exploration activities and results. FLI is designed to help you understand management's current views of its near- and longer-term prospects, and it may not be appropriate for other purposes. FLI by their nature are based on assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such FLI. Although the FLI contained in this press release is based upon what management believes, or believed at the time, to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure shareholders and prospective purchasers of securities of the Company that actual results will be consistent with such FLI, as there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended, and neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any such FLI. Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake, and assumes no obligation, to update or revise any such FLI contained herein to reflect new events or circumstances, except as may be required by law.

Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the FLI or information contained herein. Furthermore, should one or more of the risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in FLI. Assumptions upon which FLI is based, without limitation, include: the ability of exploration activities to accurately predict mineralization; the accuracy of geological modelling; the ability of the Company to complete further exploration activities; the legitimacy of title and property interests in the deposits; the accuracy of key assumptions, parameters or methods used to obtain the assay results; the ability of the Company to obtain required approvals; the results of exploration activities; the evolution of the global economic climate; metal prices; environmental expectations; community and nongovernmental actions; and any impacts of COVID-19 on the deposits, the Company's financial position, the Company's ability to secure required funding, or operations.
