NIOBAY ANNOUNCES THE START OF ITS 2025 DRILL CAMPAIGN
ON ITS CREVIER PROJECT
Montréal, Québec, June 3 , 202 5 - NioBay Metals Inc. (“NioBay” or the “Company”) (TSX -V: NBY)
(OTCQB: NBYCF ) is pleased to announce the start of a drilling campaign on the Crevier property
(the “2025 Campaign”) , located approximately 50 km north of the town of Girardville and
approximately 150 km from the Niobec mine (the “Project”). It is located within the Nitassinan territory
of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh, whose main population center is Mashteuiatsh. The P roject is easily
accessible via existing logging roads.
The 2025 Campaign is made possible by a grant from the Ministère des Ressources naturelles et des
Forêts (MRNF) under the Mining Exploration Support Program for Critical and Strategic Minerals. The
drilling will be large in diameter (HQ) in order to collect a maximum quantity of material. Bulk sampling
is also planned and will be combin ed with the drill core collected to produce a sample of more than
125 metric tons, representative of the extension zones.

NioBay is pleased to announce that this campaign will be carried out by the Premières Nations drilling
company in Mashteuiatsh. Geological supervision has been entrusted to the Saguenay firm IOS Services
Géoscientifiques. It should be noted that the latter was also involved in previous drilling campaigns on
this site.
Message from NioBay’s President and Chief Executive Officer on Crevier
“This campaign will allow us to recover more material than during the 2023 campaign. In addition, this
work will allow us to test the extensions of the known zone. Building on our first pilot plant, this
campaign prepares us for our next pilot plant, which will be ten times larger than the first. We will use
this second pilot plant to manufacture more product for our potential c ustomers. Once again, we are
pleased to carry out this work with the support of a local labor force, such as Forage Premières Nations
of Mashteuiatsh and IOS Services Géoscientifiques of Chicoutimi,” says Jean-Sébastien David, President
and CEO.
