Nickel North Exploration Corp. announced that It completed 381 soil samples testing by handheld XRF Analyzer. these soil samples were collected in the Company's 2022 field work program at its Hawk Ridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGE Project.

The soil sampling program covered the five previously defined mineralization targets involving an area of approx. 25 km2. The soil samples were collected based on the grid from 100mX100m to 300mX300m depending on the known mineralization, structure features and topographies.

The XRF testing results of these soil samples confirms and expands the previously defined Ni-Cu and PGE mineralization targeting areas; more importantly, it identified two new strong cobalt anomalies in the two targeting areas: Lucille Zone and Falco 7 Zone. The Company will further study these soil samples by ICP-MS in the certified assay laboratories will integrate together with other rock sample data, and process, model these data sets to generate more drilling or exploration targets. Total 381 soil samples were tested by a handheld XRF analyzer by a certified operator; Strong Ni-Cu in soil anomalies have confirmed in all 5 previously defined mineralization targets area (Figure 2, Table 1).

Ni in soil anomalies is up to 1731 ppm (or 0.17% Ni) from soil sample 789542 at the area between Hope Advance Main and Hope Advance North zones. Cu in soil anomalies is up to 10429 ppm (or 1.05% Cu) from soil sample 789388 at undrilled high-grade strong sulfide mineralized target area in Falco 7 zone; Strong Co in soil anomalies have discovered in the mineralization targets areas including Falco 7, Lucille and Hope Advance (Figure 2). Co in soil anomalies is up to 570 to 1669 ppm (or 0.057% to 0.17% Co) from soil samples 514334, 514335, 514337 at Lucille zone area (Figure 3); Co in soil anomalies is also up to 187 ppm to 305 ppm from soil samples 514254, 514255 and 514312 at Falco 7 zone northwest area which has not been reported previously (Figure 4); A high-grade massive sulfide area up to 100m by 200m at Falco 7 zone northwest with strong Ni-Cu in soil anomalies, next to strong Co in soil anomalies area has not been drilled previously, which may be related to the mafic-ultramafic intrusion center and need more exploration work in next exploration program; Very strong and high-grade Co in soil anomalies at Lucille zone area in the south section of Hawk Ridge project (Figure 3) may be associated to the volcanogenic pyrite or pyrrhotite and will be the priority target to work in 2023 working season.
