About the Decar Nickel District
The Company’s Decar Nickel District represents a large-scale greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization
in the form of a naturally occurring nickel -iron alloy called awaruite (Ni 3Fe) hosted in an
ultramafic/ophiolite complex. FPX’s mineral claims cover an area of 245 km 2 west of the Middle River
and north of Trembleur Lake, in central British Columbia. Awaruite mineralization has been identified in
several target areas within the ophiolite complex including the Baptiste Deposit and the Van Target, as
confirmed by drillin g, petrographic examination, electron probe analyses and outcrop sampling. Since
2010, approximately US $28 million has been spent on the exploration and development of Decar.
Of the four targets in the Decar Nickel District, the Baptiste Deposit has been the focus of increasing
resource definition (a total of 99 holes and 33,700 m of drilling completed), as well as environmental and
engineering studies to evaluate its potential as a bulk-tonnage open pit mining project. The Baptiste Deposit
is located within the Baptiste Creek watershed, on the traditional and unceded territory of Tl’azt’en Nation
and Binche Whut’en First Nation, and within several Tl’azt’enne and Binche Whut’enne keyohs. FPX has
conducted mineral exploration activities to date subject to the conditions of our agreements with the Nations
and keyoh holders.
