Fort St. James Begins 2021 Exploration Program
At Porcupine Base Metal - Precious Metal - REE Property
Central New Brunswick
Vancouver, British Columbia - July 13, 2021 - Fort St. James Nickel Corp. (TSX.v: FTJ) (“FTJ”
or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce it has commenced a prospecting and rock / soil
geochemical sampling program at its Porcupine Base Metal - Precious Metal - Rare Earth
Element (REE) Property, located in central New Brunswick. The program is being conducted in
the northern region of the property targeting an area east of zinc, lead, copper and silver
mineralization discovered during 2012 trenching by option partner, Great Atlantic Resources
Corp. (TSX.v: GR). Samples results at that time included:
• Channel Sample: 5.48% zinc & 1.08% lead over 1 meter ( 4W Trench).
• Boulder Sample: 20.7% lead, 6.89% zinc and 122 grams / tonne (g/t) silver (3W Trench).

The Company completed a small 4-hole diamond drilling program (227 total meters) during 2018
with all holes drilled under the Line 4W trench. Each hole intersected near -surface base metal
sulfide mineralization as disseminations and veinlets / veins. A Qualified Person supervised the
2018 drilling program by FTJ. Sample highlights (core length) fo r zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), copper
(Cu) and silver (Ag) include:
PO-18-3: 10.75 – 11.05 meters (0.30 meters): 2.66% Zn, 1.86% Pb, 0.42% Cu & 15.7 g/t Ag
PO-18-4: 8.88 – 9.28 meters (0.40 meters): 5.87% Zn, 1.39% Pb, 0.64% Cu and 13.8 g/t Ag
The 2018 drill core samples were analyzed by ALS Canada Ltd. by four acid digestion and ICP -
AES analysis and assayed for gold by fire assay - AA.
Prospecting and rock / soil geochemical sampling are currently being conducted east-southeast of
the 2012 trenches and 2018 d rill holes. The work is being conducted along an induced
polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly or anomalies which extend s east-southeast from the area
of mineralization discovered during 2012 trenching . Rock and soil s amples collected will be
analyzed by a certified laboratory for multiple elements including zinc, lead, copper , and silver
and will be assayed for gold. The objective of the work is to explore for similar base metal –
precious metal mineralization east-southeast of the 2012 trenches and 2018 drill holes.

The Porcupine Property occurs within the Miramichi terrane which trends northeast -southwest
through New Brunswick. The Miramichi terrane hosts numerous volcanogenic massive sulfide
deposits in northeast New Brunswick in the famous Bathurst Camp. Many of these deposits were
mined, including the historic Heath Steele Mine, located approximately 40 kilometers northeast
of the Porcupine Property. Volcanic rocks are reported locally within the Porcupine Property.
A qualified person has not verified th e 2012 trench sample data as the trenches have been
reclaimed. A qualified person verified lead, zinc and copper sulfide mineralization in stringers /
veins during 2018 in one trench as a bedrock exposure was accessible.
David Martin, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43 -101, is responsible for the
