FPX NICKEL ESTABLISHES TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE WITH REPRESENTATIVES FROM STRATEGIC INVESTORS

FPX Nickel Corp. has created a technical advisory committee (TAC) to provide guidance to FPX's management regarding the exploration and development of the Baptiste nickel project in central British Columbia.

The TAC includes representatives of FPX's three strategic investors, each holding an approximate 9.9-per-cent interest in the company's issued and outstanding shares -- Sumitomo Metal Mining, Outokumpu Oyj and the confidential corporate strategic investor first announced in November, 2022.

The TAC will benefit from the contribution of members from each of the strategic investors with diverse experience covering mineral exploration, mine project development and operations, sustainability, and external relations. The group will review project materials and meet with FPX management on a quarterly basis to address risks and opportunities pertaining to the development of Baptiste. Consistent with the terms of the company's investor rights agreements with each of its three strategic investors, the mandate of the TAC is strictly of an advisory nature -- decisions regarding the project will be subject to the sole determination of FPX's management and board of directors.

"We are grateful for the engagement of our three strategic investors in supporting the development of Baptiste," commented Martin Turenne, FPX's president and chief executive officer. "Each of the three strategic investors brings unique technical capabilities, collectively covering the key aspects of mining, processing and downstream nickel consumption in the stainless steel and electric vehicle battery supply chains. The FPX management team looks forward to benefiting from this technical collaboration as we continue to advance Baptiste."

About the Decar nickel district

The company's Baptiste nickel project represents a large-scale greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization in the form of a sulphur-free, nickel-iron (Ni-Fe) mineral called awaruite (Ni3Fe) hosted in an ultramafic/ophiolite complex. The Baptiste mineral claims cover an area of 245 square kilometres west of Middle River and north of Trembleur Lake, in central British Columbia. In addition to the Baptiste deposit itself, awaruite mineralization has been confirmed through drilling at several target areas within the same claims package, most notably at the Van target which is located six km to the north of the Baptiste deposit. Since 2010, approximately $30-million (U.S.) has been spent on the exploration and development of Baptiste.

The Baptiste deposit is located within the Baptiste Creek watershed, on the traditional and unceded territories of the Tl'azt'en Nation and Binche Whut'en, and within several Tl'azt'enne and Binche Whut'enne keyohs. FPX has conducted mineral exploration activities to date subject to the conditions of agreements with first nations and keyoh holders.
