NICKEL NORTH ADDS 15 NEW MINERAL CLAIMS TO THE HAWK RIDGE NI-CU-PGE SULFIDE PROJECT AND ANNOUNCES ATTENDANCE AT XPLORE 2022 IN MONTREAL, QUEBEC

Nickel North Exploration Corp. has acquired 15 new mineral claims within the company's 100-per-cent-owned Hawk Ridge nickel-copper-PGE (platinum group element) sulphide project area in North Quebec. Now the company owns a total of 411 mineral claims covering the area of 179.67 square kilometres for the Hawk Ridge project. All the new claims are within or close the major mineralization zones areas.

"Our ongoing mapping and sampling efforts in the major mineralization areas of the Hawk Ridge Ni-Cu-PGE project have discovered more high-grade massive sulphide mineralization potato and several new drill-ready targets, including Falco 7 northwest zone, Hope Advance north zone, Gamma zone and Pio zone," commented Tony Guo, president and chief executive officer of Nickel North Exploration. "Initial XRF [X-ray fluorescence] analyzer testing results on the rock samples in the field demonstrate high-grade mineralized continuity over approximately 300 to 500 metres long at the Falco 7 northwest zone, Hope Advance north zone and Gamma zone; phenomenal fieldworks this year identifying and expanding the mineralized structures for all the major targets areas. We are now compiling and studying all the field data and planning for the next year drilling program on the Hawk Ridge project."
