(TSXV: NNX) (\"Nickel North\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that phase one of the Company's 2022 field works program at its Hawk Ridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGE Project completed September 10, 2022. NNX's team conducted a project scale soil sampling, ground prospecting and rock sampling targeted on the 50km long structure system at the Hawk Ridge Project. The soil sampling program covered the five previously defined mineralization targets involving an area of approx. 25km2 (Figure 1). Total 400 soil samples have been collected based on the grid from 100mX100m to 300mX300m depending on the known mineralization, structure features and topographies. The purpose of this soil sampling program is to further define and study the Ni-Cu and PGE potential in the project area. All soil samples will be analyzed by handheld XRF Analyzer first and then send to the certified Lab for further assay. The Company has completed the field mapping and rock sampling program which focus on the major four targets on the previously defined mineralization zones including Falco7, Hope Advance, Gamma and Pio Zone (Figure 2), which confirms the existing of the mineralization structures along almost whole 50km long structure strike; more important, the team has discovered and expanded the high-grade massive Nickel- Copper sulfides \"Raglan type potato\" zones at all four targets area (Figure 2, Table 1). The grades of the Nickel-copper massive sulfides samples within the four zones are up to 26-29% Ni (Awaruite?) or up to 4-6% Ni and 5-10% Cu (Pentlandite?) at Pio Zone (Figures, 3-4); up to 1.6% Ni and 4.1% Cu at Gamma zone (Figure 5), 0.69% Ni and 4.7% Cu at Hope Advance Zone (Figure 6) and 0.35% Ni and 1.1% Cu (Figure 7-8) at Falco7 zone respectively vie XRF analyzer tested in the field. All data will be integrated, processed and modeled late of 2022 with the results and further exploration programs announced early 2023.The Company has started its phase II 2022 field program this week and focus on shallow backpack drilling and surface mapping on the high-grade targets on the four zones (Figure ...
