Karim Rayani, CEO of Falcon, noted, " Falcon is continuing its pursuit to diversify and go after critical
element projects, with large tonnage potential. The Hope Advance is an area I have been keen on for some
time for its high -grade nickel and battery elements. Further infrastructure is being planned with a
conceptual deep seaport to the area which would bring excitement and large investment into the camp.
The recent option agreement by Nickel North confirms our belief that Nickel, and associated PGE’s will
remain a valuable commodity in the coming years. As we enter a new greening phase, onshoring and
reshoring of manufacturing will mean North American metal assets will become more valuable than ever,
and we love operating in the mining and exploration friendly province of Quebec.”
Transaction Terms:
Falcon has signed a definitive option to acquire 100% of the Hope Advance project. The Company will pay
one time cash payment of $17,500 within 15 days of signing, issue 200,000 shares and 200,000 warrants
