Wholly-Owned Technology Subsidiary
Focused on AI and Quantum Innovations for
the Mining and Exploration Sector
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 26, 2025) - Fort St. James Nickel Corp.
(TSXV: FTJ)
("
FTJ
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce that, in response to the rapid and
transformative technological changes occurring across global industry, the Company will be forming a
wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to the acquisition, development, and deployment of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Quantum-based technologies specifically tailored for the mining and mineral
exploration sector.
The mining industry is undergoing one of the most significant technological shifts in its history.
Breakthroughs in machine-learning, autonomous targeting systems, geophysical interpretation
algorithms, and emerging quantum-enhanced computational methods are rapidly changing the way
deposits are discovered, evaluated, and developed. Fort St. James recognizes the strategic importance
of adopting these technologies early to strengthen exploration efficiency, reduce risk, and create long-
term value for shareholders.
Purpose of the New Subsidiary
The newly formed subsidiary—name to be announced shortly—will focus on:
Evaluating and acquiring AI-driven exploration technologies including predictive geological
modelling, automated geochemical clustering, drill-target optimization, and advanced anomaly
detection.
Pursuing strategic partnerships and acquisitions in the quantum-technology ecosystem, including
quantum sensing, quantum-enhanced data processing, and ultra-high-resolution geophysics.
Integrating technological tools across Fort St. James assets, enabling smarter exploration
decisions, reduced exploration cost, improved discovery potential, and greater operational
efficiency.
Exploring commercialization opportunities through licensing, joint ventures, and applied-technology
deployments with other junior and mid-tier mining companies.
Management Commentary
"The mining industry is being reshaped at breakneck speed," stated Barry Brown, CEO of Fort St.
James Nickel Corp. "AI and quantum technologies are no longer theoretical—they are actively redefining
exploration efficiency, target generation, geological interpretation, and operational decision-making. By
structuring a dedicated subsidiary under FTJ, we are positioning the Company at the forefront of this
technological wave while creating a platform for potential new revenue streams and strategic
partnerships."
Strategic Alignment With FTJ's Growth Vision
Fort St. James believes the creation of this wholly owned subsidiary aligns with the Company's broader
objective of modernizing its exploration toolkit, sharpening its competitive edge, and ensuring that
shareholders benefit from the powerful technological advancements shaping the resource sector.
Further details, including the subsidiary name, leadership appointments, acquisition targets, and initial
strategic initiatives will be announced in the coming weeks.

events and conditions and are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions. These
statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results,
estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Any statements that
express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections,
objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases
such as "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans",
"estimates" or "intends", or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might"
or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved), and variations of such words, and similar expressions are not
statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statement are
necessarily based upon a number of factors that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances
or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performances or
achievements express or implied by such statements. Such statements and information are based on
numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which
the Company will operate in the future, including the price of metals. While such estimates and
assumptions are considered reasonable by the management of the Company, they are inherently subject
to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and risks. In particular, there
is no guarantee that exploration work, as proposed, or otherwise, will be completed on the Company's
properties.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual
events, level of activity, performance or results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-
looking statements, including, without limitation: (i) risks related to commodity price fluctuations; (ii) risks
and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of exploration results; (iii) risks related to the inherent
uncertainty of exploration and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; (iv)
that resource exploration and development is a speculative business; (v) that the Company may lose or
abandon its property interests or may fail to receive necessary licences and permits;
(vi) that
environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous;
(vii) that the Company may not be able
to raise additional funds when necessary; (viii) the possibility that future exploration, development or
mining results will not be consistent with the Company's expectations; (ix) exploration and development
risks, including risks related to accidents, equipment breakdowns, labour disputes or other unanticipated
difficulties with or interruptions in exploration and development; (x) competition; (xi) the potential for
delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of geologic reports or studies; (xii) the
uncertainty of profitability based upon the Company's history of losses; (xiii) risks related to
environmental regulation and liability; (xiv) risks associated with failure to maintain community
acceptance, agreements and permissions (generally referred to as "social licence"); (xv) risks relating to
obtaining and maintaining all necessary government permits, approvals and authorizations relating to the
continued exploration and development of the Company's projects; (xvi) risks related to the outcome of
legal actions; (xvii) political and regulatory risks associated with mining and exploration; (xix) risks
related to current global financial conditions; and (xx) other risks and uncertainties related to the
Company's prospects, properties and business strategy. These risks, as well as others, could cause
actual results and events to vary significantly. There can be no assurance that planned exploration will be
completed as proposed or at all, or that economic resources will be discovered or developed at the
Company's properties. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in
such statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, continued availability of capital and financing and general economic,
market or business conditions, equipment failures, the loss of key directors, employees, advisors or
consultants and fees charged by service providers. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and, accordingly are cautioned not to put
undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of such statements. The
forward-looking statements included in this news release are made as of the date hereof and the
