Nexcel Metals Corp. has filed an independent National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, technical report for its Burnt Hill tungsten project, located in Stanley Parish, York county, New Brunswick, Canada.

The technical report, titled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Burnt Hill Tungsten Project, New Brunswick," has an effective date of Jan. 26, 2026, and was prepared for the company by Derrick Strickland, PGeo, an independent qualified person as defined under NI 43-101.

Project overview

The Burnt Hill tungsten project is located approximately 95 kilometres north of Fredericton, N.B., and consists of one contiguous non-surveyed mineral claim comprising 70 mining cells totalling approximately 1,540 hectares. The project is accessible by established logging roads and is situated in a historic tungsten mining district.

Tungsten mineralization at Burnt Hill was first discovered in the late 1800s, with documented production occurring in 1915, and again between 1952 and 1956. Historical underground development, surface and underground drilling, and pilot-scale processing programs have been completed over several decades.

Mineralization at Burnt Hill is hosted in quartz veins associated with granitic intrusions within the Miramichi terrane. The principal mineral assemblage includes wolframite, molybdenite, cassiterite and pyrrhotite.

Recommended work program

The technical report recommends a two-phase exploration program:

• Phase 1 -- data compilation and GIS integration: compilation of all historical data into a modern GIS platform;
• Phase 2 -- geological mapping, sampling and geophysics: preliminary geological mapping, surface sampling and geophysical surveys.

The recommended work program is designed to modernize the historical data set, verify historical results and support future exploration targeting.

The technical report is available under the company's profile on SEDAR+ and is also available upon request from the company.
