This news release contains certain “forward-looking statements” and “forward-looking information” under
applicable Canadian and United States securities laws. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking
information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Arrangement and Name Change
including timing, closing and terms of the Arrangement and Name Change, and the ability of Flying Nickel to
obtain the requisite TSXV, court and other approvals in connection with the Arrangement, and requisite TSXV
and other approvals in respect of the Name Change. Except for statements of historical fact relating to Flying
Nickel, certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are frequently characterized by words such as “anticipates,” “may,” “can,” “plans,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “targets,” “intends,” “likely,” “will,” “should,” “to be”, “potential” and other
similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions “may”, “should” or “will” occur, including, without
limitation, that all conditions precedent to the Arrangement will be met and the realization of the anticipated
benefits derived therefrom for shareholders of Flying Nickel and perception of (i) the quality and the potential
of Flying Nickel’s assets, (ii) the consideration offered to Flying Nickel, and (iii) the potential of Flying Nickel’s
business following completion of the Arrangement. Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions
and estimates of management of Flying Nickel at the date the statements are made, and are based on a
number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause
actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Many of
these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of Flying Nickel, there is
no assurance they will prove to be correct and are not guarantees of future performance and actual results
may differ materially from those in the forward- looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward-looking
statements include changes in market conditions; cash flow and availability of financing; the ability of Flying
Nickel to obtain the requisite court, TSXV and other third party approvals in respect of the Arrangement and
Name Change; trades in the market, issuances of securities or exercises of convertible securities and other
factors that could alter the share capital of Flying Nickel or other parties; risks relating to the availability and
timeliness of permitting and governmental consents and approvals; and other risks of the mining industry.
These factors are discussed in greater detail in the Circular and in Flying Nickel’s most recent MD&A filed on
SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, which also provides additional general assumptions in connection with these
statements. Flying Nickel cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Investors and
others who base themselves on forward-looking statements contained herein should carefully consider the
above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. Flying Nickel believes that
the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given
that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this news
release should not be unduly relied upon. These statements speak only as of the date of this news release.
Although Flying Nickel has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or
results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that
cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Flying Nickel undertakes no obligation to publicly update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise
except as required by applicable securities laws. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be
deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that
will be encountered as the property is developed. Further, Flying Nickel may make changes to its business
plans that could affect results.
