Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains "forward looking statements" regarding the Company within the meaning of applicable securities legislation, including statements as to future events, results and plans. Forward-looking statements are sometimes but not always identified by such words as "targeted", "can", "will", "anticipates", "projects", "expects", "intends", "likely", "plans", "should", "could" or "may" or grammatical variations thereof. These include, without limitation, statements with respect to: obtaining the required regulatory approvals and fulfilling other closing conditions related to proposed transactions; completion of proposed transactions and financings, and the terms of such transactions and financings; the Company's use of available funds; mining operations, anticipated mineral recoveries, projected quantities of future mineral production, interpretation of drill results and other technical data; anticipated development, expansion and exploration activities; viability of the Company's projects and properties; the acquisition of additional property rights; possible events, conditions or financial performance that is based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action; the strategic plans, timing, costs and expectations for the Company's future exploration on its properties; information with respect to grades from sampling results and drilling results; the accessibility of future exploration activities at the Company's properties and license areas; the composition of the board of directors and management team of NorthX; the filing of a technical report supporting technical disclosure made by the Company; exploration and development of the Company's assets; completion of a share distribution by Wallbridge; the issuance of common shares of the Company to certain finders; the filing of a listing statement in respect of proposed transactions; commencement of trading of common shares of the Company; the impact of proposed transactions on the Company's business; mining operations; the business plan of NorthX; projected quantities of future mineral production, interpretation of drill results and other technical data; anticipated development, expansion and exploration activities; viability of the Company's projects and properties; and the entering into of ancillary agreements in connection with proposed transactions.
These forward-looking statements reflect the Company's current beliefs and are based on information currently available to the Company and assumptions the Company believes are reasonable. The Company has made various assumptions, including, among others, that: the
results of proposed exploration activities are as anticipated; the Company's operations are not disrupted or delayed by unusual geological or technical problems; the anticipated cost of planned exploration activities; the Company has the ability to explore and develop the Company's properties; general business and economic conditions will not change in a material adverse manner; financing will be available if and when needed and on reasonable terms; third party contractors, equipment and supplies and governmental and other approvals required to conduct the Company's planned exploration activities will be available on reasonable terms and in a timely manner; the Company's current corporate activities will proceed as expected; and the effects of by COVID-19 on the operations of the Company will remain consistent with the Company's expectations.
Actual results and developments may differ materially from results and developments discussed in the forward-looking statements as they are subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties, including: that there is no assurance that the Company will obtain the requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals for proposed transactions; there is no assurance that proposed transactions will be completed as anticipated, or at all; there is no assurance that any proposed financings will be completed or as to the actual offering price or gross proceeds to be raised in connection with such financings; following completion of any proposed transactions, the Company may require additional financing from time to time in order to continue its operations which may not be available when needed or on acceptable terms and conditions acceptable; compliance with extensive government regulation; domestic and foreign laws and regulations could adversely affect the Company's business and results of operations; the stock markets have experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the performance of companies and these fluctuations may adversely affect the price of the Company's securities, regardless of its operating performance; fluctuations in metals prices, price of consumed commodities and currency markets; future profitability of mining operations; access to personnel; results of exploration and development activities; accuracy of technical information; risks related to ownership of properties; risks related to mining operations; risks related to mineral resource figures being estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently anticipated; the interpretation of drilling results and other geological data; receipt, maintenance and security of permits and mineral property titles; environmental and other regulatory risks; changes in operating expenses; the impact of COVID-19; the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine, and other risk factors set out in the Company's public disclosure documents. Although the Company has attempted to identify significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other risks that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are beyond the Company's control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements are qualified by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurances that the actual results or developments will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences or benefits to, or effect on, the Company.

Grasset Ultramafic Complex
Fertile and highly-prospective ultramafic corridor that has seen little-to-nonickel-focused exploration
Fertile Trend With District Scale Potential
- Vast majority of the 23 km long GUC is underexplored. Nearly all historical regional exploration was designed for VMS Au targets
- Numerous coincident magnetic and conductivity anomalies along the GUC require drill testing
- Limited nickel exploration in 2018 resulted in several nickel sulphide discoveries that have seen little-to-no follow up
Developing Model
Additional work required to refine the host ultramafic architecture and identify geophysical signatures associated with magmatic sulphides
Innovative & Modern Methods
- Thick glacial till cover of Northern Abitibi has hindered past exploration efforts, resulting in geological interpretations that are heavily reliant on drilling data
- InfiniTEM® XL survey enables a deeper, wider range of geophysical exploration and should detect anomalous massive sulphide conductors at a depth of 800 -1,000 m
- Sonic drill testing of glacial till and bedrock to detect geochemically anomalous nickel occurrences in ultramafics

2023 Summer Drilling: Discovery of New Zone in H1?
High-Grade Massive Sulphides Discovered in NorthX
Nickel's First Exploration Hole
- GR23-03,NorthX Nickel's third hole of the summer program (first exploration hole), intersected 1.55% Ni over 5.80 metres, including 5.75% Ni over 0.60 metres at a depth of 330 metres
- The 5.80 metre interval includes 1.17 g/t Pt-Pd, with a subinterval of
- g/t Pt-Pd over 0.60 metres
- The thickest, highest nickel sulphide tenor mineralization intersected to date in the H1 Horizon
- H1 Horizon remains open at depth and along strike
- This portion of the H1 Horizon has seen very little past drilling as previous operators focused on the high-grade H3 Horizon
- Visible gold was intersected 250 metres below surface, with assays of
- g/t over 0.30 metres
