NORTHCLIFF OBTAINS EX PARTE
INJUNCTION TO STOP INTERFERENCE WITH
SISSON PROJECT FIELDWORK AND
DRILLING PROGRAM
VANCOUVER, BC
,
Aug. 24, 2023
/CNW/ - Northcliff Resources Ltd. ("Northcliff" or the "Company")
(TSX: NCF) today announced that Northcliff and Sisson Project Limited Partnership ("Sisson LP")
obtained an ex parte injunction Order from the Court of King's Bench in
New Brunswick
on
August
23, 2023
against two (2) known individuals, and against other persons unknown, who have interfered
with and obstructed the 2023 fieldwork and drilling program that is required for the Sisson Project to
move forward. The ex parte injunction Order is effective until 11:59 pm on
Tuesday, August 29,
2023
, but Northcliff and Sisson LP are scheduled to re-appear in court at 1:30 pm on
Tuesday,
August 29, 2023
, at which time they will be seeking an extension of the injunction Order.
On
August 3, 2023
, individuals interfered with and obstructed Sisson LP's ability to continue with its
fieldwork and drilling program on the Sisson Project, located in the Province of
New Brunswick
.
Rather than get into a potentially dangerous altercation with these individuals, Sisson LP's
contractors retreated, and Northcliff and Sisson LP prepared ex parte motion materials as soon as
they could in order that they could seek court assistance, including by way of injunctive relief. Given
the timeframes for the 2023 fieldwork and drilling program, the Company and Sisson LP had no
practical options, other than to seek injunctive relief at this time, in order that they are in the best
position to continue with the required fieldwork and drilling program on the Sisson Project, and to
comply with the conditions associated with the Company's Environmental Impact Assessment
Report, which has been approved by both the Federal Government and by the Government of
New
Brunswick
.
On
August 24, 2023
, certain individuals who had interfered with and obstructed the Sisson Project
on
August 3, 2023
were served with the ex parte injunction motion materials and the ex parte
injunction Order such that they are now aware of the court proceedings, as well as the next hearing
date on
August 29, 2023
, at which time Northcliff and Sisson LP will seek an extension of the
injunction.

This release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements". All
statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts, that address the in-progress
financing, permitting, exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or developments that the
Company expects, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes the expectations
expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such
statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Assumptions used by the Company to
develop forward-looking statements include the following: the Company will be successful in its
application for injunctive relief and be able to resume its drilling and work program at the Sisson
Project, the Sisson Project will obtain all required environmental and other permits for construction of
the mine, the Sisson Project will achieve targeted production levels; the Company's study and
development of the Sisson Project will continue to be positive; contracted parties provide goods
and/or services on the agreed timeframes; equipment necessary for construction and development is
available and does not incur unforeseen breakdowns; no material labour slowdowns or strikes are
incurred; plant and equipment functions as specified; geological or financial parameters do not
necessitate future mine plan changes; and no geological or technical problems will occur. Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include
uncertainty of shareholder support, the need for regulatory approvals, fluctuations in market prices,
exploitation and exploration successes, continuity of mineralization, potential environmental issues
and liabilities associated with exploration, development and mining activities, uncertainties related to
the ability to obtain necessary environmental, land use and other permits, approvals, licenses and
title on a timely basis and delays due to third party opposition, and development of properties
located within First Nations treaty and asserted territories may affect or be perceived to affect
treaty and asserted aboriginal rights and title, which may cause permitting delays or opposition by
First Nations communities, including the unlawful activities that necessitated the Company to seek
injunctive relief described above, changes in government policies regarding mining and natural
resource exploration and exploitation, continued availability of capital and financing, and general
economic, market or business conditions. Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not
guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements. For more information on the Company, investors
