About Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc.

Nord Precious operates the only permitted high-grade milling facility in the historic Cobalt camp of Ontario, where the company has established a unique position integrating high-grade silver discovery with strategic metal recovery operations. The company's flagship Castle property encompasses 63 square kilometres of exploration ground and the past-producing Castle mine, complemented by the Castle East discovery where drilling has delineated 7.56 million ounces of silver in inferred resources grading an average of 8,582 grams per tonne silver (250.2 ounces per ton).

Nord's integrated processing strategy leverages the synergistic value of multiple metals. High-grade silver recovery supports the economics of extracting critical minerals including cobalt, nickel and other battery metals, while the company's proprietary Re-2Ox hydrometallurgical process enables production of technical-grade cobalt sulphate and nickel-manganese-cobalt formulations. This multimetal approach, combined with established infrastructure including TTL Laboratories and underground mine access, positions Nord to capitalize on both precious metal markets and the growing demand for battery materials.

The company maintains a strategic portfolio of battery metal properties in Northern Quebec including its 35-per-cent ownership in Coniagas Battery Metals Inc., as well as the St. Denis-Sangster lithium project comprising 260 square kilometres of prospective ground near Cochrane, Ont.
