(TSX-V: NTH | OTCQB: CCWOF | FRANKFURT:\n4T9B) (\"Nord\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to\nreport that the Company\n \n\n has mobilised field\ncrews and earth-moving equipment to its historic Castle Silver Mine\ntailings complex, thereby initiating the first phase of a staged plan\nto begin seasonal silver-dominant production in 2026. The work centres\non pad preparation and road upgrades ahead of installing a gravity\ncircuit that will recover silver along with cobalt, nickel and other\ncritical metals from multiple legacy tailings deposits across the 63\nkm² property.\n \n\n\n\n Management Commentary\n \n\n\n\n Frank J. Basa, B. Eng., CEO, commented: “With a\nmodular unit design, an 80-day permit window, and tailings grades that\nhousehold-name mines would envy, the potential to generate cash flow\nbecomes viable while erasing a century-old environmental liability.\nIt’s mining in reverse, and our First Nations and local communities\nwill see the benefits first.”\n \n\n\n\n Key Highlights\n \n\n\n\n - Site works: pads and access roads will be cleared at\nthe Miller Creek tailings pad and the newly identified Castle West\ncoarse-tailings pile, both within 400 m of the historic\nheadframe.\n \n\n\n\n - Proven grades: drill and metallurgical test work show\nto date: payable silver, as cobalt, copper, and nickel credits add\nfurther value.\n \n\n\n\n - Low-carbon plant design: gravity modules arrive\npre-assembled in ISO containers and sit on crushed-rock pads, no\nconcrete, rebar or CO₂-intensive foundations, allowing for reuse,\nremoval and full reclamation once processing is complete.\n \n\n\n\n - Fast-track permitting: Ontario's Ministry of Mines\nhas invited Nord to file its 80-day Recovery Permit application under\ns. 152.1 of the Mining Act; submission is scheduled for after July 1,\n2025. (See Nord’s June 2, 2025 news release for details on the\nOntario Government’s new recovery permit application process).\n \n\n\n\n...
