Homeland Nickel Inc. has provided clarification as requested by Canadian Regulatory Organization (CIRO) on the company's earlier announcement that it has retained GRA Enterprises LLC, doing business as National Inflation Association (NIA), to provide investor relations services for the company.

NIA is a United States-based private corporation controlled by its principal consultant, Gerard Adams, which provides investor relations services for both U.S.-based and Canadian-based public companies. Neither NIA nor Mr. Adams are significant shareholders of Homeland Nickel. NIA and its affiliates may, from time to time, acquire or dispose of securities of the company through the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions warrant. NIA is at arm's length from Homeland and has no other relationship with the company, except those services that are pursuant to the services agreement.

The services to be provided start on March 18, 2026, and extend for a period of six months with the option to extend the period in one-month intervals for up to 12 additional months.

The services to be provided include: (a) distribution and exposure of the company's activities through NIA's e-mail distribution lists, website and blog posts; (b) e-mail alerts and reports about the company and its shareholdings; (c) highlighting the company's current share structure and market capitalization at its current share price; (d) distributing multiple e-mail reports about new resource discoveries, drill results and opportunities positioning the company as an industry leader with upside potential; (e) distributing any interviews, videos and news; (f) distributing technical updates on the chart and breakouts; (g) building anticipation of the company's catalysts; and (h) providing other such marketing services as may be reasonably requested by the company.

The anticipated total costs of the services are $75,000 (U.S.) for six months starting with a $30,000 deposit and followed by four monthly payments of $11,250.
