Atlas Salt is Advancing the Great Atlantic Salt Project with an Updated Feasibility Study
Building on the Feasibility Study completed in 2023, this UFS will incorporate significant advancements and optimizations to enhance the Project's development strategy. The UFS will focus on optimizing the production rate while balancing capital expenditure, refining mine planning parameters, and integrating recently completed technical studies to improve operational efficiency and economic outcomes; with the ultimate objective of supporting ongoing financing activities.
Key Objectives of the Updated Feasibility Study
Production Optimization: Assessment of an increased, optimized production rate taking into consideration mine design, throughput capabilities, and market alignment.
Refined Mine Plan and Scheduling: Incorporation of updated geotechnical findings, ventilation, and infrastructure requirements to support an efficient development timeline.
Processing and Product Mix Enhancements: Refinements to the fines segregation circuit to accommodate both screened mediums for commercial contracts and ASTM D632 bulk road salt, enhancing market flexibility.
Integration of Sandvik Mining Equipment: Advancing our memorandum of understanding with Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions ("Sandvik") through optimization of underground operations by implementing Sandvik Mining Equipment to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.
Updated Economic Analysis: A revised financial model, including updated capital and operating cost estimates, cash flow projections, and key economic indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR).
Regulatory Compliance and Permitting Integration: Inclusion of all post-Environmental Assessment release conditions to ensure seamless regulatory alignment.
SLR Consulting Ltd. ("SLR"), the lead consultant on the original Feasibility Study, brings extensive experience in mineral resource and reserve assessments, underground mine design, and NI 43-101 Technical Reports. As the lead consultant on the original Feasibility Study, SLR's continuity on this project will ensure a seamless transition and a robust evaluation of the updated development strategy.
Patrick Laracy, Chairman & Interim CEO of Atlas Salt, commented: "The initiation of this Updated Feasibility Study marks another important step toward optimizing and advancing the Great Atlantic Salt Project. With SLR's proven expertise and our team's commitment to execution, we are refining our development strategy to maximize value while maintaining the lowest-cost production model. The enhancements incorporated into this study will further de-risk the Project and strengthen our positioning in the North American salt market and increase our attractiveness with major financiers."
The Updated Feasibility Study is expected to be completed by Q3 2025, with results providing critical inputs for finalizing financing and development strategies.
Financing Update
As announced previously (see news release of December 10, 2024) Endeavour Financial has been engaged by the Company to lead the arrangement of project financing for the Great Atlantic Salt Project. Endeavour will continue to progress the project financing process while the UFS work is underway, and completion of the UFS will enable Endeavour and potential lenders to incorporate the Project's updated technical and economic parameters into their evaluations, forming the basis for financing arrangements. The Company will provide updates on the timing and details of financing activities as they advance.
Compensation Securities Issued
The Company also announces that it has issued compensation securities to certain officers of the Company. A total of 800,000 performance share units have been issued with vesting tied to the achievement of certain objectives but in any event not before June 9, 2026.

NexMetals Drills 19.40 Metres of 3.93% CuEq Including 4.02% CuEq Over 13.55 Metres Showing Continuity of High-Grade Mineralization in the Expansion of the Selebi North Deposit
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2025) - NexMetals Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXM) (NASDAQ: NEXM) (the "Company" or "NEXM") reports assay results from an additional drill hole successfully intersecting high-grade mineralization at the Selebi North Underground ("SNUG") deposit. Drill hole SNUG-25-189 was designed to test the continuity of mineralization and confirms a significant extension of the South Limb and N2 mineralization. Highlights Drill Hole SNUG-25-189: intersected South Limb and N2 Limb (Figure 1) South Limb: 4.90 metres of 4.39% CuEq (0.73% Cu, 1.77% Ni)N2 Limb: 19.40 metres of 3.93% CuEq (1.05% Cu, 1.40 % Ni)Including: 13.55 metres of 4.02% CuEq (0.74% Cu, 1.60% Ni) Recent results confirm that the mineralization continues at greater depths, strengthening confidence in the size and continuity of the deposit. Drilling is ongoing to evaluate the strike extent of this new mineralization, with assay results pending for SNUG-25-191, which intersected mineralization in South Limb. SNUG-25-192 currently in progress. Figure 1: Location of drill holes relative to the 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate and underground infrastructure. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Morgan Lekstrom, CEO of the Company, commented: "Drilling continues to highlight consistent high-grade copper, nickel, and cobalt mineralization extending past the limits of the 2024 resource, reinforcing the potential for further expansion. These next holes including drill hole 189, are designed to evaluate the lateral extent of this mineralization and tie the datasets together, with the goal of increasing both the size and confidence of the deposit. Drilling is ongoing, and this release represents the first results from that program." Assay results have been received and reported below in Table 1 and drill hole collar details are provided in Table 2. Assays are pending for all other drill holes described herein. The various mineralized zones have been historically mined and subsequently named N2 Limb, N3 Limb and South Limb to demarcate their location on the folded mineralized horizon. Additional drilling is needed to properly determine true width of mineralization on each limb and define the folded mineralization.
