About Premium Nickel Resources Ltd.

PNRL is a mineral exploration and development company that is focused on the redevelopment of the

previously producing nickel, copper and cobalt resources mines owned by the Company in the Republic

of Botswana. We are driven by our belief that the demand for these metals will continue to grow in the

medium to long term, as a result of global urbanization and the increasing adoption of electric motors

over internal combustion engines. These metals are vital for achieving a low-carbon future.

PNRL is committed to governance through transparent accountability and open communication within

our team and our stakeholders. Our skilled team has worked over 100 projects collectively, accumulating

over 400 years of resource discoveries, mine development and mine re-engineering experience on

projects like the Company's Selebi and Selkirk mines. PNRL's senior team members have on average

more than 20 years of experience in every single aspect of mine discovery and development, from

geology to operations.
