(“First Atlantic or the “Company”) (TSXV: FAN) (OTCQB: FANCF) (FSE: P21) is pleased to announce its participation at the North American Stainless & Special Alloys Conference 2025, taking place November 6-7, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee. The Company will participate in business development discussions throughout the event, showcasing how its Pipestone XL Nickel Alloy Project addresses the growing need for nickel, cobalt and chromium production that can be processed onshore in North America. The Pipestone XL Project hosts nickel contained in awaruite, a naturally magnetic nickel-iron-cobalt alloy mineral that is free of sulfur and contains approximately 77%\n \n 1\n \n nickel, along with significant chromium mineralization throughout the system. These unique properties enable direct processing through magnetic separation and flotation, eliminating reliance on overseas smelting or roasting operations. This simplified mineral processing method significantly reduces energy requirements and environmental impacts, while supporting the development of a resilient domestic critical minerals supply chain.\n \n\n First Atlantic’s discovery in Newfoundland, Canada, represents the\n \n first large-scale drilled awaruite discovery in the Atlantic region of North America\n \n . This discovery directly addresses critical supply chain vulnerabilities facing the North American stainless-steel industry, which depends on chromium, nickel, and cobalt, all designated as critical minerals by the U.S. Geological Survey (“USGS”).\n \n\n The North American Stainless & Special Alloys Conference\n \n 2\n \n brings together key stakeholders from across the stainless and special steels sector for two days of networking, dealmaking, and strategic discussions. Attendees include major stainless-steel manufacturers such as Cleveland-Cliffs, Outokumpu Stainless USA LLC, Nippon Steel, ATI Specialty Rolled Products, Jindal Stainless, Industeel, and Tsingshan; raw materials suppliers inclu...
