Issuance of Canada Nickel Shares on Acquisition of Mineral Property Claims

The Company is pleased to announce that it has entered into purchase agreements in June 2021 with various third-party vendors to acquire exploration assets comprised of mineral property claims located in the Timmins, Ontario region. Total consideration to be paid by the Company at closing under these agreements is 1.26 million Canada Nickel common shares and $25,000 in cash. Each of the vendors under these agreements will retain a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) in respect of the transferred claims, subject to a right of the Company to re-purchase 50% thereof (or 1% of the NSR). One of the vendors also retained offtake rights to purchase the ore, concentrate or other mineral products produced from this one property only, at market pricing. Such vendor will also hold a contingent right to receive a bonus payment (paid in cash or shares, at the Company’s election) in the event the Company discloses a mineral resource pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 of 10,000 tonnes or more of nickel or nickel equivalent. The completion of these transactions is subject to customary closing conditions, including TSX Venture Exchange approval. The common shares issued pursuant to the above noted acquisitions will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.
