Power Nickel Inc
.
(the "Company" or "Power Nickel")
(TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB:
CMETF) (Frankfurt: IVV) is pleased to announce the results of its fall drilling campaign at Nisk, the high-grade Nickel
Sulfide PGM project located near
Nemaska
, Quebec.
Hole PN-23-036 was previously announced in
November 2023
and today the Company is announcing the remaining six
holes PN-23-37 to PN-23-42. As reported in
Table 1
below, four of these six holes successfully impact the resource at
Nisk, with hole PN-23-40 and PN-23-42 carrying some attractive high-grade zones of
12.77 m
@ 0.62% Ni, 0.63% Cu,
0.04% Co, 0.78 g/t Pd and 0.22 g/t Pt and
7.77 m
@ 0.71% Ni, 0.12% Cu, 0.04% Co, 0.42 g/t Pd and 0.03 g/t Pt
respectively.

"The fall campaign was another successful drilling program for Power Nickel. We will add these holes to our database,
allowing us to expand our mineral resource estimate footprint. The successful deployment of our Ambient Noise
Technology ("ANT") provided significant insight into how we can use this technology to further expand our resource at
Nisk. This was key in hole 36 and this winter's drilling season is designed to test the four ANT targets identified in
Figure 2 below. While we are pleased with our fall work, we believe the drilling program we have embarked on this
winter will yield our best results to date," commented Power Nickel CEO
Terry Lynch
.

About Power Nickel Inc.
Power Nickel is a Canadian junior exploration company focusing on developing the High-Grade Nisk project into
Canada's
first Carbon Neutral Nickel mine.
On
February 1, 2021
, Power Nickel (then called Chilean Metals) completed the acquisition of its option to acquire up to
80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (CRE: TSXV). Subsequently, Power Nickel has exercised
its option to acquire 50% of the Nisk Project and delivered notice to Critical Elements that it intends to exercise its
second option to bring its ownership to 80%. The last remaining commitment to exercise the option was the delivery of
a NI-43-101 Technical report which has now occurred. Power Nickel expects to complete the acquisition in February.
The NISK property comprises a significant land position (20 kilometers of strike length) with numerous high-grade
intercepts. Power Nickel is focused on expanding the historical high-grade nickel-copper PGE mineralization with a
series of drill programs designed to test the initial Nisk discovery zone and to explore the land package for adjacent
potential Nickel deposits.
In addition to the Nisk project, Power Nickel owns significant land packages in British
Colombia
and
Chile
. Power Nickel
is expected to reorganize these assets in a related vehicle through a plan of arrangement.
Power Nickel announced on
June 8, 2021
, that an agreement had been made to complete the 100% acquisition of its
Golden Ivan
project in the heart of the Golden Triangle. The Golden Triangle has reported mineral resources (past
production and current resources) in 130 million ounces of gold, 800 million ounces of silver, and 40 billion pounds of
copper (Resource World). This property hosts two known mineral showings (gold ore and Magee) and a portion of the
past-producing Silverado mine, reportedly exploited between 1921 and 1939. These mineral showings are Polymetallic
veins containing quantities of silver, lead, zinc, plus/minus gold, and plus/minus copper.
Power Nickel is also 100 percent owner of five properties comprising over 50,000 acres strategically located in the
prolific iron-oxide-copper-gold belt of northern
Chile
. It also owns a 3-per-cent NSR royalty interest on any future
production from the Copaquire copper-molybdenum deposit sold to a subsidiary of Teck Resources Inc. Under the
terms of the sale agreement, Teck has the right to acquire one-third of the 3-per-cent NSR for
$3 million
at any time.
The Copaquire property borders Teck's producing Quebrada Blanca copper mine in
Chile's
first region.
