[{"type":"text","content":"A higher-grade assay occurs within this broader silver-cobalt mineralized envelope; new wedge hole intersects silver-cobalt mineralization at junction of two major vein structures; critical minerals including cobalt, nickel, and copper accompany high-grade silver Cobalt, Ontario – TheNewswire - May 4, 2026 -- Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. (“Nord” or the “Company”) (TSXV: NTH, OTCQB: CCWOF, FSE: QN3) is pleased to report the analytical results from hole CS-26-129W2, the previously disclosed high-grade silver intercept at Castle East for which core photographs were published in the Company’s February 24, 2026 news release. The Company has also commenced its fully funded 5,000-metre drilling phase, continuing its ongoing 30,000-metre drill program at the recently enlarged Castle–Gowganda Property. Assay Results – Hole CS-26-129W2 Hole From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Ag (ppm) Co (ppm) Cu (ppm) Ni (ppm) Zn (ppm) CS-26-129W2 482.35 484.20 1.85 2,343.70 549.86 289.19 251.62 63.51 including 482.35 482.85 0.50 1,450.00 30.00 270.00 180.00 50.00 including 482.85 483.35 0.50 562.00 40.00 320.00 170.00 100.00 including 483.35 483.65 0.30 9,510.00 3,460.00 470.00 620.00 50.00 including 483.65 484.20 0.55 867.00 50.00 180.00 190.00 50.00 Collar of hole CS-26-129 is located at 520988E 5279450N UTM NAD83, Zone 17 with 0370 Azimuth dipping at -610. Wedge 2 was placed at 258m downhole with Azimuth of 041.540 and dipping at -57.040. Vein intercepted at 483.35m is 6 cm true width. The high-grade interval of 9,510 g/t Ag (277.6 oz/ton) over 0.30 metres occurs within a broader 1.85-metre mineralized envelope averaging 2,343.70 g/t Ag (68.4 oz/ton) with elevated critical minerals including cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc throughout. While silver remains the principal commodity at Castle East, the consistent presence of these critical minerals alongside silver mineralization is characteristic of the five-element vein assemblage of the Cobalt-Gowganda district and may contribute meaningfully to future project economics. For further details on the original intercept and core photographs, please refer to the Company’s February 24, 2026 news release. New Intercept – Hole CS-21-73W1 The Company is also pleased to report a new mineralized intercept in hole CS-21-73W1 (see photo below), a wedge drilled from a parent hole completed in 2021. ...
