Canadian North Resources Inc. Reports Operational and Financial
Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026
Toronto, August 31, 2026 – Canadian North Resources Inc. (“Canadian North” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
CNRI; OTCQX: CNRSF; FSE: EO0 (E-O-zero)) reports its operational and financial results for the six months
ended June 30, 2026.
Dr. Kaihui Yang, President and CEO of the Company, commented: “In past six months, we have planned
further evaluation of bio-metallurgical technologies to produce market -ready battery-grade nickel and
cobalt compounds, copper and platinum-group metals (PGE) from a low-cost, low-carbon footprint mine
for the Ferguson Lake project. “
“The plan is based on the results from the expanded bioleaching programs completed in 2025. The new
tests confirmed high metal extraction of copper (87.7-90.6%), nickel (96.8-99.0%) and cobalt (96.9-99.3%)
and PGEs (>80%) at low temperatures that would not require external heat energy and addition of acid
(refer to Canadian North’s News Release on October 7, 2025) . Such a self-sustaining bioleaching system,
when optimized, can significantly simplify the previously proposed poly-metallurgical processes for the
Ferguson Lake Project.”
“Canadian North plans at Ferguson Lake to collect large bulk surface mineralized samples for further bio-
metallurgical testing, and to conduct exploration and definition drilling programs and engineering and
environmental studies.”
“The Company is actively communicating with investors and shareholders to raise funds for exploration,
geotechnical, metallurgical and environmental programs to support the prefeasibility evaluation of the
Ferguson Lake Project; and continues its engagement with the governmental agencies and local
communities to update and upgrad e permissions, permits and licenses required to advance project
development.”
First Six-Month of 2026 Highlights:
The Company also engaged in the following activities in the first half year:
• On April 15, 2026, the Company announced that it had elected to rely upon Coordinated
Blanket Order 51 – 933 Exemptions to Permit Semi -Annual Reporting for Certain Venture
Issuers ("CBO 51-933") and adopt semi-annual financial reporting. This news release is being
filed pursuant to CBO 51-933.
• On April 28, 2026, the Company reported operational and financial results for the year ended
December 31, 2025. During 2025, the Company continued evaluation of multiple metal
processing technologies for the Ferguson Lake Ni-Cu-Co PGE Project. The team expanded the
bio-metallurgical programs to produce market -ready battery -grade nickel and cobalt
compounds, copper and PGE metals from a low -cost, low -carbon footprint mine, and
achieved extraction rates of 99% nickel, 98% cobalt and 90.6% copper in the follow-up second
set of lab -scale bioleaching tests on massive sulphides; recovered more than 80% of
palladium and gold from the residues of the bioleaching tests. All base metals were extracted
from each bioleaching tests at low temperatures of 52 - 65oC without the addition of acid
and external heat. Such a self -sustaining bioleaching system can significantly simplify the
metallurgical process and signals strong potential for low energy consumption development
of the Ferguson Lake project. The Managemen t strengthened engagement with local
governments, Indigenous communities and completed environmental sampling and analysis
for updating and upgrading of licenses and permits. The team also increased communication
with investors and potential partners to su pport the future mine development of the
Ferguson Lake Project.
