About Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc.
Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. operates TTL Laboratories, the only permitted high -grade milling
facility in the historic Cobalt Camp of Ontario, where the Company has established an integrated position
connecting high-grade silver discovery with strategic metals recovery operations.
The Company's flagship Castle property encompasses 63 sq. km of exploration ground and the past -
producing Castle Mine, complemented by the Castle East discovery where drilling has delineated 7.56
million ounces of silver in Inferred resources grading an average of 8,582 g/t Ag (250.2 oz/ton) in 27,400
tonnes of material from two sections (1A and 1B) of the Castle East Robinson Zone, beginning at a
vertical depth of approximately 400 metres. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability. Please refer to the Nord Precious Metals Press Release of May 27,
2020, for the resource estimate. The above resource is now considered an historical resource. Insufficient
work has been done to categorize the above historical estimate as current. Significant additional diamond
drilling and analytical work along with modelling is required before a new resource estimate can be
compiled.
Nord's integrated processing strategy enables multiple metal recovery streams. High -grade silver
recovery supports the economics of extracting critical minerals including cobalt, nickel, and other battery
metals. The Re -2Ox hydrometallurgical process, vali dated at pilot scale through SGS Lakefield,
eliminates the typical arsenic barriers in complex silver-cobalt ores while producing battery-grade cobalt
sulphate and other metal products to customer specifications. This multi-metal approach, combined with

established infrastructure including TTL Laboratories and underground mine access, positions Nord
within Ontario's emerging critical minerals supply chain.
The Company maintains a strategic portfolio of battery metals properties in Northern Quebec including
its 35% ownership in Coniagas Battery Metals Inc. (TSXV: COS), as well as the St. Denis -Sangster
lithium project comprising 32 square kilometres of prospective ground near Cochrane, Ontario.
