Martin Turenne, CEO of FPX Nickel, discusses the complexities of the nickel supply chain, particularly in relation to the Baptiste project in British Columbia. He explains the five key steps in the nickel supply chain, emphasizing the importance of refining and the advantages of FPX's concentrate. The conversation also covers recent test work results, economic implications for shareholders, and current trends in the nickel market, including the influence of Indonesian supply restrictions. Turenne highlights the company's future plans, including exploration efforts and the upcoming environmental assessment process for the Baptiste project.

FPX Nickel CEO Martin Turenne joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share significant advancements in the company's Baptiste Nickel Project during an interview with Proactive. FPX has successfully completed pilot-scale hydrometallurgy refinery testwork, producing battery-grade nickel sulphate—a critical material for the EV battery market. Turenne noted that this milestone follows the successful 2023 bench-scale hydrometallurgy refining testwork and marks a major step forward in demonstrating the refining process of Baptiste's awaruite concentrate. The pilot plant work was partially funded by Natural Resources Canada under the government's Critical Minerals Research, Development and Demonstration program, aimed at advancing Canada's EV battery material supply chain. Turenne emphasized that if the Baptiste project progresses as expected, it could lead to a 50% increase in Canada's annual nickel production, without impacting the country's current nickel smelting or refinery capacity. This breakthrough represents a low-cost, low-carbon solution for linking mining to EV battery production. The results from the pilot plant are being incorporated into FPX's Awaruite Refinery Scoping Study, which will provide detailed evaluations of capital and operating costs. The study is on track for completion in Q1 2025, offering valuable insights into the commercial potential of the awaruite refinery. #proactiveinvestors #fpxnickelcorp #tsxv #fpx #otcqb #fpocf #bcgov #bcpoli #BatteryNickel #ElectricVehicleBatteries #NickelSulfate #MiningNews #EVBatteries #CleanEnergy #NickelProduction #MartinTurenne #BatteryMaterials #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

In this MSE episode, FPX Nickel CEO Martin Turenne explains why the company opened a community office in Fort St. James, British Columbia to further engage the local community as the Baptiste Project advances towards permitting. “In preparation for our entry into the Provincial and Federal environment assessment next year, we are very pleased to establish a full-time, year-round local presence in Fort St. James to support our engagement activities for the Baptiste Nickel Project,” said Martin Turenne, FPX Nickel's President and CEO. “We are committed to advancing Baptiste in partnership with members of local communities, and to maximizing opportunities for employment and business development opportunities across the region and have established our Community Office as a hub to facilitate collaboration across all aspects of the Project.” FPX has recently hired a full-time Fort St. James-based Community Manager, Jonathan Gibson, who is a community member and experienced in business development in the natural resource and construction industries, and who will manage Community Office operations. Key priorities for the Community Office will be identifying business opportunities for local and Indigenous-owned businesses, and seeking local community feedback early so that this can be incorporated into the design of the Baptiste Nickel Project. 0:00 Introduction 0:43 Why the community office? 3:30 First Nations 6:05 The main FPX catalyst now 8:31 Mich project exploration in Yukon 13:05 Insider selling & buying 15:08 Treasury C$42M 17:42 Share buyback? 18:41 Pilot plant met work results 20:45 Nickel price commentary Company website: https://fpxnickel.com/ Press release found here: https://fpxnickel.com/news/fpx-nickel-advances-baptiste-project-engagement-initiatives-with-opening-of-community-office-in-fort-st-james/ FPX Nickel PFS Presentation: https://fpxnickel.com/wp-content/uploads/FPX-Presentation.pdf Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 FPX Nickel is an MSE sponsor.

FPX Nickel CEO Martin Turenne joined Steve Darling from Proactive to FPX Nickel CEO Martin Turenne joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the re-initiation of exploration activities at the Company's Mich property in the Yukon. The Company has recently expanded its claims at Mich by over 350% and will conduct a wide-ranging surface sampling program over the summer of 2024 with the goal of advancing Mich to drill-ready status. Turenne told Proactive that the company is looking to conduct geological mapping and surface sampling, aiming to expand the footprint of known awaruite nickel mineralization, from where previous sampling and drilling has generated positive results. FPX Nickel has been awarded a non-repayable grant under the Yukon Mineral Exploration Program, which will be used to offset program costs. The expanded exploration program is designed to leverage historical data and new findings to refine FPX's geological understanding of the Mich property. This will involve detailed geological mapping and systematic surface sampling to identify new zones of nickel mineralization. By combining historical data with new results from the 2024 fieldwork, FPX aims to develop a comprehensive geological model that will inform the planning of a future drill program. FPX Nickel's recent expansion of its claim area at Mich reflects the Company's commitment to unlocking the full potential of this promising nickel project. The significant increase in claim size provides a larger exploration area and enhances the likelihood of discovering additional nickel-rich zones. The surface sampling program scheduled for summer 2024 will be crucial in identifying these zones and advancing the project to the next stage of development. The non-repayable grant from the Yukon Mineral Exploration Program is a testament to the project's potential and the support of the local government for mineral exploration activities. This funding will help FPX Nickel manage exploration costs and focus on maximizing the value of the Mich property. As the company prepares for the 2024 exploration season, Turenne emphasized the importance of integrating new data with historical work to refine their exploration strategy. The synthesis of these datasets will enable FPX Nickel to target high-potential areas more effectively and plan a robust drilling program that aims to confirm and expand the known nickel resources at Mich. #proactiveinvestors #fpxnickelcorp #tsxv #fpx #otcqb #fpocf #batterymetals #nic #NickelExploration, #MichProperty, #YukonMining, #MiningExploration, #BaptisteProject, #NickelDeposits, #MiningDevelopment, #YukonGrant, #MiningExpansion, #DrillReady, #MineralExploration, #MiningIndustry, #CanadaMining, #NickelMining, #MiningProjects, #MiningNews, #ExplorationGrant, #MiningInvestments, #MiningOperations#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Nickel had another test of $20,000 and once again it held up and trading in the lower end of range of $20-$22,000 range where it has been sitting since early June. Again, have been expecting several month break below this range but this has yet to happen – trend technically squeezing against this support level and with now seeing some LME inflows (still not much 1,000 tonnes) may finally go through in the next few weeks.Have seen continued improvements in ore and NPI prices driven by combination of a couple of factors: Chinese stainless production continues strong y-o-y growth – 17-20% in August and September Nickel has had a “shipping coal to Newcatle” moment recently as the Indonesian government investigated and dealt with illegal nickel ores and stopped the approval of new quota applications which has resulted in ore coming from the Philippines Korea trip again interesting. Key piece is how much nickel they will need – justone of the players at one stage - and there are multiple players at each step (precursor-cathode-battery) will need more nickel.Indonesia talking about a free trade agreement with the US (make it IRA-eligible) – may see something limited, but Chinese control of most assets would defeat the whole purpose of the IRA to get China out of critical material supply chains.Nickel Institute published clarification around CBAM in Europe (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) – this is a mechanism which will eventually create a premium for lower carbon products (like Canada Nickel will be producing from Crawford).From 1st October 2023, FeNi and NPI producers will have to measure the carbon footprint of their products according to the requirements defined in the Annexes of the CBAM Implementation Regulation.From end of January 2024 onwards, data on the carbon footprint must be reported via a template submitted to the CBAM Portal.From 2026 onwards, companies importing FeNi and/or NPI will have to purchase CBAM certificates to compensate for the carbon footprint of the imported goods. The amount of certificates that FeNi and NPI importers have to purchase will be gradually increased. In 2026, certificates for only 2.5% of the total carbon footprint of a product have to be surrendered. This will gradually be increased until 2034, when 100% of the carbon footprint has to be covered.FPX announced solid PFS results – key drivers are low strip ratio below 1, simple process plant driven by magnetic separation, ability to sell awaruite directly to market - After-tax NPV8% of $2.01 Billion and IRR of 18.6% at $8.75 /lb Ni 29-year mine life producing an average 59,100 tonnes per year of nickel Phased development approach, with expansion following the 3.7-year after-tax payback period Life-of-mine average C1 operating cost of $3.70/lb Ni ($8,150/t), assuming no byproduct credits LOM average annual pre-tax free cash flow of $578 million during operating years Strategic product flexibility, with a Base Case high-grade nickel concentrate (60% nickel) for direct feed to the stainless steel industry, plus a Refinery Option to produce battery-grade nickel sulphate At Canada Nickel, very keen to see this PFS – our Midlothian deposit looks like maybe a primaryawaruite deposit.Dreadnought – the interesting early stage where First Quantum earning into 51%.

FPX Nickel (TSX-V: FPX, OTCQB: FPOCF) just released its preliminary feasibility study results for its 100%-owned Baptiste Nickel Project in central British Columbia, with an after-tax NPV8% of US$2.01 Billion and IRR of 18.6% at $8.75 /lb Ni. The PFS demonstrates the potential to develop a high-margin, long-life, large-scale, and low-carbon mine with unparalleled flexibility to produce either a high-grade concentrate (60% nickel) for direct feed into the stainless steel industry or further refining into battery-grade nickel sulphate, cobalt precipitate, and copper concentrate products for the battery material supply chain. CEO Martin Turenne stated: “The PFS firmly establishes Baptiste as a key strategic asset in the development of Canada's critical minerals supply chain. Despite the inflationary pressures observed in the mining industry in recent years, the study has yielded after-tax NPV and IRR superior to those observed in the 2020 preliminary economic assessment, reflecting greater engineering maturity and incorporating the several optimizations identified by our class-leading project team in regards to resource modelling, mine planning, process recovery, and site design. The Baptiste project represents a significant opportunity for First Nations, the governments of British Columbia and Canada, and FPX to work together to develop a project that creates substantial and sustainable benefits while protecting the environment for future generations. We look forward to continued collaboration with local Indigenous groups, and the provincial and federal governments to support the development of Canada's critical minerals ecosystem and to leverage health, economic and social benefits for local communities.” 0:00 Introduction 0:38 PFS overview and comparison to peers 10:14 FPX Nickel's relationship with First Nations 13:04 Exploration partnership with JOGMEC 15:06 Q4 upcoming catalysts with apprx C$30M treasury Company website: https://fpxnickel.com/ Press release found here: https://fpxnickel.com/2023/09/fpx-nickel-delivers-pfs-for-baptiste-nickel-project-with-after-tax-npv-of-us2-01-billion-and-18-6-irr/#more-115169 FPX Nickel PFS Presentation: https://fpxnickel.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Baptiste-PFS-Results-FINAL.pdf Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 FPX Nickel is an MSE sponsor.

Nickel dropped down to the bottom end of $20-$22,000 range that we've largely been in since the beginning of May – dragged lower along with the rest of the base metal complex as China deflation concerns weighed on the market.  LME inventories are still low.According to statistics from the Stainless Steel Branch of China Iron and Steel Association, China's crude stainless steel production amounted to around 17.59 million tons in the first half of this year, up by 8.2% compared to the same period a year ago.  Among them, the output of Cr-Ni stainless steel (300 series) accounted for the largest proportion at 50.33%, totalling around 8.85 million tons, a year-on-year hike of 11.1%.  (we thought China was slowing down) - seeing cuts in the first half in ROW production after a big surge in 2021/22, but now seeing a turn in the West as well.  Analysts always underestimate stainless growth. Still not seeing any further momentum in nickel sulphate in China, but seeing more nickel directly utilized (in the form of MHP/matte) and more high nickel cathode material produced in Korea.FPX Nickel saw a big drop this week – down by 33% on news that one of the First Nations (FN) groups has made public communications from Tl'azt'en Nation with respect to the 2012 Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) between Tl'azt'en Nation, family Keyoh Holders, and FPX, and concerns expressed related to resource development.The team at FPX have done a very good job responsibly advancing the project, but sometimes best efforts can't change the view of the local community.  The original 2012 group split into several groups – which may have different views on resource development. Elections in FN communities typically every 2-3 years so can have multiple leadership groups to deal with during the lifespan of the project (think with my old Dumont project, we had 5 different chiefs over 10 years).  The new chief came in a year ago and may be a catalyst for change, maybe another change in the future.Permitting/First Nations risk is real – even the best management team/approach can do everything 100% right, but the community may not want resource development. Encourage every investor to look at First Nations/permitting risk – not just to country, province, but the specific region – look at whether any mines operating in the area, have any operated before, and search for public comments on mining activity in the area. Can always be the first new mine in an area, but comes with lots of risks and need to manage accordingly.This is always been a key concern – 4 major assets that I've been involved with have been in established mining areas - Abitibi Quebec (Dumont), Abitibi area of Ontario (Crawford), Kalgoorlie (Beta Hunt), Manitoba/Snow Lake (Reed).  The Metals Company (TMC) stock has moved significantly higher over the last 2 months and just completed $27 million financing (think highlighted back in June that smaller scale start-up using existing Japanese processing capacity provides a lower capex path to production).  The Metals Company aims to apply next year for a licence to start mining in the Pacific Ocean, with production expected to start as early as the fourth quarter of 2025, it said in a statement.Magna Mining put out some nice drill holes this AM and has been busy retracing about 50% of what it gave up after the PEA announcement.101 FW ZoneMCR-23-041: 3.0% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 1.2 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 31.6 metresMCR-23-042: 4.2% Ni, 1.4% Cu, 1.0 g/t Pt + Pd + Au over 27.6 metresGood results but would asterisk them a little bit – when historic drilling – look for step out versus infill, unless filling in some pretty wide gaps.  These holes look like in between 22-003 and 22-005 drilled earlier this year which in turn were between 1003080 and 1003090 and 1163050At the other end of step out level, our neighbour in Timmins, Aston Minerals, has started off their 2023 drilling season with some 500 metre step-outs in their B2 zone which in turn is more than 2 kilometres away from their initial Boomerang resource of 2.5 million tonnes of nickel.On the lithium-nickel front, Widgie Nickel got approval to mine its Faraday lithium deposit – will ship ore to one of the local lithium mines to be processed.Azure Minerals (nickel developer turned lithium developer) turned down $600 million offer from SQM.

Grid Battery Metals, a pioneering company, is strategically positioned in the battery metals market, with a strong focus on nickel and lithium. As the demand for EVs and battery technologies soars, both nickel and lithium are projected to experience significant growth over the next decade. In the insightful interview, Tim Fernback share how as the world transitions towards sustainable energy solutions, the demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems is escalating. Nickel and lithium play crucial roles in advancing these technologies, and Grid Battery Metals is capitalizing on this opportunity by concentrating its efforts on these two essential battery metals. Tim then goes on to explain the connection between Grid Battery Metals and their partner, Surge Battery Metals (TSXV:NILI)(OTC PINK:NILIF)(FRA:DJ5C). Under Tim Fernback's visionary leadership, Grid Battery Metals has established itself as a leading player in the battery metals market. By honing in on nickel and lithium, the company is poised to meet the burgeoning demand for these metals, which are essential for the future of the EV and battery industries, through their 4 projects; Texas Spring, Clayton Valley, Grid Nickel, and Volt Canyon. The 2 nickel projects are located near FPX. Grid Nickel is of extra special interest, and Tim goes on to explain the abundance of awaruite, which is a naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy important in the manufacturing of environmentally efficient batteries for the electric vehicle markets globally. Tim continues to discuss company goals, including the recent shareholder update released by the company. The update included key highlights like a nickel project in British Columbia completing and the beginning of a lithium project at the Texas Spring and the Volt Canyon projects, both located in Nevada. Among other stated goals, Tim concludes by stating the company hopes to be ready for the 2024 drilling season. The interview concludes discussing the companies balance sheets and sustainability in the current economic state of both the US and Canada. “We're really well funded,” Tim states, “we just completed two financings for the company and we have over $4.5 million in just cash related working capital on our balance sheet.” Tim goes on to explain the additional capital on hand from the sale of property to Surge Battery Metals.

Recording date: 28th June 2023Mark Selby discusses multiple nickel projects and provides insights into the current state of the nickel market. According to Mark Selby, the nickel price has finally reached the anticipated level of $9 per pound ($20,000 per ton), although there are concerns about a potential slowdown in China and the impact of inflation on rate hikes. Despite these concerns, Mark Selby expects the battery metals sector, including nickel, to rebound as restocking and increased demand in the battery supply chain continue. The discussion also touches on the behavior of other battery metals, such as lithium, which has seen a decrease in prices but remains significantly higher than a few years ago.Mark Selby highlights the impact of Russian nickel imports in relieving tight inventories in China, leading to a compression of premiums and a convergence of prices. Several nickel projects are mentioned, including Talon's permit application for a mine in Minnesota, Arava's drilling activities near the Kabanga deposit in Tanzania, Centaurus' acquisition of off-take rights for a nickel discovery in Brazil, FPX's progress in pre-feasibility studies, and Texmod's promising metallurgical results for their nickel project. Additionally, the discussion briefly touches on carbon capture and storage projects in Quebec, which have attracted interest from large companies seeking carbon storage solutions. Overall, Mark Selby provides a comprehensive overview of the nickel market and various projects making progress in the industry.

FPX Nickel (TSX-V: FPX, OTCQB: FPOCF) is pleased to announce that it has received funding from the Government of Canada to accelerate demonstration of the technical and commercial viability to produce nickel sulphate and cobalt hydroxide for the electric vehicle battery supply chain from the Company's Baptiste Nickel Project in central British Columbia. On completion of a competitive application process, FPX has been awarded $725,000 by Natural Resources Canada under the Government of Canada's Critical Minerals Research, Development and Demonstration program, designed to assist the development of critical minerals supply chains to contribute to Canada's goal of being a net-zero carbon emitter. CEO Martin Turenne stated: “We are grateful to receive this funding support from the federal government. FPX was honoured to be the only junior mining company in attendance at the December 2022 launch event for Canada's critical mineral strategy, and for NRCan's invitation to attend Minister Wilkinson's recent trade mission to Japan. We see tremendous opportunity for partnership and collaboration between industry and the federal government and First Nations on critical minerals projects such as Baptiste, and look forward to scaling up the production of battery-grade nickel sulphate and cobalt hydroxide from Baptiste and to demonstrating the technical and economic viability of producing battery materials in our upcoming preliminary feasibility study, expected in the third quarter of 2023.” 0:00 Introduction 1:37 Canadian government funds Baptiste Nickel project 5:05 Treasury C$17mm fully-funded 6:00 Revealing of corporate strategic investor 7:12 Future reception of government funds to advance Baptist deposit 8:52 Investors are sleeping on FPX Nickel 10:22 Automakers investing upstream in battery metals miners 13:13 Successful pilot plant flowsheet demonstration 14:56 Van Target exploration success 16:26 Upcoming catalysts Company website: https://fpxnickel.com/ Press release found here: https://fpxnickel.com/news/ FPX Nickel Presentation: https://fpxnickel.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/FPX-Nickel-Corporate-Presentation.pdf Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 FPX Nickel is an MSE sponsor.

When you are shopping around for a marketing agency, there are several different ways to decide which agency to go with. You could shop based on pricing (often the worst way to decide). Or perhaps you could consider capabilities and services offered by the agency. But have you ever considered hiring an agency based on the background of the people who work there... and their unique understanding of YOUR business? That's exactly how Eli Rubel decided to position his agency, staffed by former in-house marketers from startups and technology companies. Eli is the CEO of MatterMade.co and has served as a marketing advisor to companies like Dropbox, Loom, Productboard, Calm, and many others. Prior to Matter Made, Eli was the founding CEO where he led Glider through a successful acquisition to FPX. Links Mentioned: mattermade.co Eli on Twitter Eli on LinkedIn

FPX Nickel's (OTC: FPOCF — TSX-V: FPX) CEO Martin Turenne joined us for a much-awaited sponsor update. The Baptiste Project pilot plant's results are in, and they are quite positive. The novel environmentally clean process of extracting nickel from lower grade deposits, without toxic smelting, has exceeded all expectations. The end product yielded a 65% nickel concentrate, with an impressive 85+% recovery rate. Martin is confident that a commercial-scale plant will produce 100 million pounds per annum. With nickel at $13 per pound, and costs of $3 per pound, there's a huge profit margin. Even at $10 nickel the profits are enormous.The naysayers who doubted FPX's ability to profitably produce high-grade nickel from low grade deposits have all been proven wrong. FPX recently announced a $12 million investment by a corporate strategic investor means that the pieces are falling into place. (The well-known company requested confidentiality for now.) FPX's current stock price of CAD$.43 means that the market hasn't yet to factor in these important developments. The company's Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) is expected in September. FPX is sitting on CAD$18 million and is fully funded for the foreseeable future. The Van Project discovery promises to be larger than Baptiste but is currently on the back burner. It is also not reflected in the share price. Both are among the largest undeveloped nickel deposits in the world. The nickel market's demand characteristics are highly positive. The rushed conversion to Electric Vehicles, coupled with a lack of environmentally friendly sources, means that FPX's project will come into production at exactly the right time. Upstream users such as Tesla, Ford and GM have been rushing to secure battery metals sources and gone directly to the producers. GM's recent $650 million investment in Lithium America is but one example. The US Inflation Recovery Act (IRA) is adding even more fuel to the fire. Its generous subsidies and favorable pro-development policies are highly positive for both the Canadian battery metals and FPX. Martin is moving quickly to secure these benefits for FPX. The stars are aligning for FPX. Martin is quite clear that these projects will require a major company to take over to fully exploit these reserves. News flow has been brisk and will increase in anticipation of FPX's PFS. This bodes well for shareholders and the end users who are anxious to work with companies such as FPX.

FPX Nickel (TSXV:FPX; OTC:FPOCF) CEO Martin Turenne explains the just-announced endorsement of the company's Baptiste Nickel Project in central British Columbia by a new corporate strategic investor. Via a private placement, FPX will issue 24,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company to the Strategic Investor at a price of $0.50 per Common Share, for gross proceeds of $12 million which is a approximately 27% premium to market. Upon completion of the Private Placement, the Strategic Investor will own approximately 9.95% of FPX's issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis. “This is a transformational investment for FPX, providing important support for the continued development of our large-scale, low-cost, and low-carbon Baptiste Nickel Project (the “Project”) in central British Columbia,” commented Martin Turenne, FPX's President and CEO. “Prior to making the investment, the Strategic Investor conducted multi-functional technical reviews and a Project site visit, and we believe the Private Placement represents a significant endorsement of the Project and our approach to project development. On closing of the Private Placement, the Company will have a working capital position of approximately $18.5 million, which will permit the Company to fully fund the completion of a preliminary feasibility study in the second half of 2023 and fund subsequent project development activities well into 2024.” 0:00 Introduction 1:03 New Corporate Strategic Investor 3:23 Significance of Multiple groups vetting Baptist Nickel Project 4:52 Four main industrial players in EV supply chain 6:59 Treasury 7:45 US Defense Dept might fund Canadian mining projects 11:45 FPX Nickel argument for undervaluation 13:53 CO2 Lock Corp. 15:38 Van Target results 16:29 Baptist deposit updated MRE Company website: https://fpxnickel.com/ Press release discussed: https://fpxnickel.com/2022/11/fpx-nickel-announces-12-million-equity-investment-from-new-corporate-strategic-investor/ FPX Nickel Presentation: https://fpxnickel.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/FPX-Nickel-Corporate-Presentation.pdf Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 FPX Nickel is an MSE sponsor.

We sat down for a sponsor update with FPX Nickel's CEO Martin Turenne. Interest in FPX has increased greatly as major nickel customers line up to secure future deliveries. In addition, FPX built a pilot production plant to prove the efficacy of its nickel sulfate refining process and its ability to produce high-grade metal, without the need for smelting. Results from the first 18 tons of material are expected before year end (or early January) and Martin says the metallurgical results are huge and could be just the catalyst FPX needs for a revaluation of its shares. Nickel has been hot. A March short squeeze sent it soaring and it has since come back down to earth, but it was still trading at a healthy $11 per pound the day we spoke. That's a level Martin is very comfortable with. He's extremely bullish and for good reason. The recently passed US Inflation Reduction Act has many benefits for the battery metal sector and FPX in particular. The Act provides a $7500 tax credit to EV purchasers, provided that the batteries contained therein were produced in the US with materials from the US, Canada and Australia. This has led to a surge of companies seeking to build battery factories in the US. Additionally, the Act provides $750 million to junior companies to help them perform the requisite studies and compliance requirements needed to fast-track their production. This is a tremendous boost to smaller companies seeking ever more scarce capital. Step-out drilling continues at the Van Deposit. Results will be forthcoming shortly. An updated mineral resource estimate is on the way for the Baptiste Deposit. Therefore, all the steps are in place for FPX to advance its projects and ultimately realize its true value.

FPX Nickel (TSXV:FPX; OTC:FPOCF) CEO Martin Turenne explains the results of an internal engineering scoping study evaluating the production of nickel sulphate for the electric vehicle battery supply chain from the high-grade awaruite nickel concentrate to be produced by the Company's Baptiste Nickel Project in central British Columbia. The Study highlights FPX's potential to develop the world's largest integrated nickel sulphate production facility, linking the Company directly into the EV battery supply chain via the production of low-cost, low-carbon nickel sulphate over Baptiste's projected 35-year mine life. “This scoping study demonstrates that Baptiste could become a globally significant producer of low-cost, low-carbon nickel for electric vehicles for decades to come,” commented Martin Turenne, FPX's President and CEO. “Baptiste's awaruite nickel mineralization has clear technical advantages over sulphide and laterite ores for producing nickel sulphate, offering a lower-cost, lower-carbon path from mine-to-market in the EV battery supply chain. Given its extremely high nickel content (over 60% nickel) and low levels of impurities, our high-grade nickel concentrate has distinct advantages over low-grade nickel sulphide concentrates (under 20% nickel), and is already comparable to intermediate nickel sulphate feedstocks like mixed hydroxide precipitate, mixed sulphide precipitate, or nickel matte. “We look forward to continued engagement with downstream participants in the EV battery supply chain, including chemical companies, battery makers and automotive OEMs, and expect to incorporate the results of this internal scoping study into the next stage of formal project study for Baptiste, with a new National Instrument 43-101 technical report anticipated in the first half of 2023.” 0:00 Introduction 1:42 Inflation Reduction Act increases demand for North American nickel production 4:11 Not enough nickel to meet politician's EV goals 5:47 Baptiste deposit best-case scenario production in 2029-2030 7:22 Internal Baptiste scoping study highlights 10:22 Working with downstream battery makers & automotive manufacturers 12:14 EV manufacturers need battery metal miners 14:00 FPX Nickel's valuation 15:35 FPX can become a top 5 Canadian cobalt producer 16:58 CO2 Lock Corp. spin-out company 20:06 Van target step-out drill program 22:33 Upcoming catalysts 24:31 Treasury and burn rate Company website: https://fpxnickel.com/ Press release discussed: https://fpxnickel.com/2022/09/fpx-nickel-scoping-study-outlines-development-of-worlds-largest-integrated-nickel-sulphate-operation-for-ev-battery-supply-chain-at-baptiste-project-in-british-columbia/ FPX Nickel Presentation: https://fpxnickel.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/FPX-Nickel-Corporate-Presentation.pdf Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 FPX Nickel is an MSE sponsor.

We were joined by FPX Nickel's CEO Martin Turenne for a much awaited sponsor update. A major paradigm shift has taken place in the battery metal space. Automakers around the globe have been in a state of near panic, racing to line up reliable and “friendly” sources of copper, lithium, nickel and other metals required to produce electric vehicles. As Martin said, “... talking about the global supply chain, the demand of auto makers, now we've seen a race. … All of these companies are snapping up or attempting to snap up supplies of crucial metals, because … if they don't get these metals it's game over, [due to] the shift to EVs.” If they don't secure supplies, they won't survive. March 2022 witnessed a major nickel short-squeeze took place, with prices jumping 5-fold in just 48 hours. Now it has settled back into the $9-10 per pound level, a level at which FPX will see high profits and substantial cash-flow. However, Martin believes that nickel prices will continue to increase, as there is just not enough supply to satisfy the burgeoning EV demand. FPX is uniquely situated to profit from these trends. Its Baptiste and Van projects are some of the largest undeveloped sources of nickel on the planet. Due to their composition, these deposits are environmentally friendly, thus they're able to forgo the costly/polluting smelting process. Martin hinted that outside interest in the company's projects is high and he will provide more information at the appropriate time. But one thing is for certain, nickel is essential to global adoption of EV's and its future demand insures higher prices and the need to increase production at rates far higher than today's levels. This leaves FPX Nickel in an extremely advantageous position with the likelihood of extraordinary returns to shareholders. Company website: www.FPXNickel.com Ticker symbols: OTC: FPOCF — TSX-V: FPX
