BREAKTHROUGH DISCOVERY OF ULTRA-RARE NICKEL ALLOY IN THE ATLANTIC

First Atlantic Nickel (OTC: FANCF | TSXV: FAN) discovers Awaruite (Ni₃Fe) - earth's highest grade nickel mineral. This rare stainless steel-like, nickel-iron alloy could help eliminate the smelter bottleneck and onshore America's critical mineral supply chain.

The United States of America faces a critical nickel crisis – it has only one operating nickel mine in Michigan, anticipated to exhaust it’s production in 2025.¹That mine produces concentrate that must be exported for processing since the US has no domestic nickel smelters or refineries capable of processing nickel-bearing concentrates.

First Atlantic Nickel (OTC: FANCF | TSXV: FAN.V) has made the first major drilled discovery of awaruite since the USGS identified this ultra-rare mineral as a solution to nickel shortages in their 2012 annual report on nickel². The USGS recognized awaruite’s potential because it’s dramatically easier to process and concentrate than sulfide nickel. Crucially, it also doesn’t require smelting – eliminating the need for the infrastructure America lacks.

First Atlantic’s large-scale discovery could provide a reliable and secure nickel source for America because awaruite – a naturally occurring magnetic nickel-iron-cobalt alloy that’s like naturally occurring stainless steel – can be processed using simple magnetic and gravity separation techniques. This bypasses the need for complex smelting operations.

First Atlantic’s groundbreaking nickel and chromium discovery could be the largest in the Atlantic in more than 30 years. Awaruite is the highest-grade nickel alloy mineral on Earth at ~77% pure nickel³ with cobalt and iron, making it dramatically easier to process than traditional nickel sulfide. The discovery spans a massive 30-kilometer ophiolite – almost 50% longer than all of Manhattan, NY – a huge chunk of the ocean floor enriched in nickel, chromium and cobalt thrust up on the continental margin.

The last major nickel discovery in the Atlantic was Voisey’s Bay. Diamond Fields Resources was trading at $4.65 in November 1994, then hit $80⁴ by June 1995 – a spectacular 17-fold increase. Inco (now Vale) ultimately acquired the mine for $4.3 billion⁵. That mine became so strategically important that Tesla signed an offtake deal in 2022⁶ to supply its American gigafactories.

This discovery comes at a critical moment. Despite surging demand from EVs and renewable energy, with the International Energy Agency and Fraser Institute predicting 60 new nickel mines are needed by 2030. As global demand doubles from 3 to 6 million tons, North America remains dangerously unprepared to meet these needs.

America’s sole operating nickel mine produces less than 1% of nickel annually⁷ and is anticipated to exhaust its production by the end of 2025⁸. Critically, the United States has no nickel smelters to process mined nickel ore – a severe national security risk and single point of failure in the critical mineral supply chain. Meanwhile, China effectively controls half of the world’s nickel supply and up to 80% of global nickel processing⁹ through its Belt and Road Initiative in Indonesia.

In 2022, the US government added nickel to its Critical Minerals List¹⁰, recognizing its vital importance. The Energy Act of 2020 defined critical minerals as:

Those that are essential to the economic or national security of the United States
Have a supply chain that is vulnerable to disruption
And serve an essential function in the manufacturing of a product, the absence of which would have significant consequences for the economic or national security of the U.S.¹¹

Nickel meets all these criteria through its critical manufacturing functions in stainless steel, superalloys, and rechargeable batteries.

With the White House proclaiming critical minerals as the “gold rush of the 21st century” in March 2025¹² and nickel sitting at the top of the US Government’s critical minerals list^13,¹⁴, this discovery couldn’t come at a more crucial time.

First Atlantic Nickel’s (OTC: FANCF | TSXV: FAN.V) discovery represents a potential game-changer – a large scale source of nickel that doesn’t need a smelter to process, at near perfect timing when the mining and processing of critical minerals are controlled by geopolitical rivals.

Watch the video above to see how this rare awaruite discovery could transform the North American nickel supply chain.

Investors seeking to learn more about this breakthrough discovery and how First Atlantic Nickel is positioning itself to become North America’s next large-scale smelter-free nickel source are encouraged to phone the company’s investor relations team at 844-592-6337 or email [email protected].

EXPONENTIAL DEMAND GROWTH CREATING UNPRECEDENTED NICKEL SUPPLY CRISIS

According to the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology (NBMG), batteries currently represent just 3% of nickel consumption¹⁵ while stainless steel dominates at 72%, followed by non-ferrous alloys (9%), alloy steels and casting (9%), plating (8%), and other uses (1%). Yet battery demand is projected to become the fastest growing sector through this decade and beyond, fundamentally reshaping the nickel market.

The Critical Supply-Demand Imbalance

Global nickel demand to double from 3 to 6+ million tons by 2040 (IEA)¹⁶
60 new nickel mines needed by 2030 per IEA and Fraser Institute¹⁷
40X growth in EV battery nickel demand by 2040¹⁸
140X surge for grid batteries storing clean energy and powering AI data centers¹⁹

Tesla’s Requirements Expose the Scale

The crisis becomes clear through Tesla’s operations. Running at current 35 GWh capacity, their Sparks Nevada Gigafactory producers 500,000 vehicles annually, requiring 26,250 tons of nickel.²⁰ That’s more than 3X all US production. Michigan’s Eagle Mine produced just 8,000 tons in 2024.²¹

This single gigafactory consumes 7X more nickel than lithium (3,885 tons) and 8X more nickel than cobalt (3,290 tons)²², validating Elon Musk’s observation that Tesla’s batteries should be called “Nickel-Graphite” rather than lithium-ion.

Scaling up reveals staggering requirements. Expanding Sparks Gigafactory to meet Tesla’s goal of 500 GWh could demand 375,000 tons annually – 47X all US mined nickel supply. Tesla’s 2030 goal of 20 million vehicles, accelerated by robotaxi and Semi truck production, could require 1.05 million tons of nickel annually – equivalent to output from 25 average-sized nickel mines (42,000 tons per year).

Beyond Batteries: Aerospace’s Nickel Dependency

SpaceX’s Starship demonstrates nickel’s broader critical role. It uses high nickel-chrome 304L stainless steel that gains 50% strength at -270°C space temperatures while withstanding re-entry heat. This alloy prevents brittleness at extreme cold while reducing weight—enabling hour-long turnarounds for reusability²³. Similarly, jet turbine blades with 50% nickel content endure 1,650°C temperatures, underscoring nickel’s irreplaceable role in extreme aerospace applications²⁴.

“I’d just like to re-emphasize, any mining companies out there, please mine more nickel. Tesla will give you a giant contract for a long period of time, if you mine nickel efficiently and in an environmentally sensitive way.”²⁵

~ Elon Musk

THE PROBLEM: US HAS NO NICKEL SMELTERS, ONLY NICKEL MINE CLOSES 2025, NO CHROMIUM MINING SINCE 1962

The United States faces a catastrophic nickel vulnerability with zero domestic smelters capable of processing nickel ore. America’s only operating nickel mine in Michigan will close in 2025 and produces just 8,000 tons annually out of 3.7 million tons mined globally—less than 1% of global production. This minimal production must be exported out of the country for processing. The US cannot even import nickel ore from other nations because it lacks any processing infrastructure to convert raw ore into usable nickel.

The US hasn’t mined chromium—a DOD critical mineral essential for stainless steel and defense applications—since 1962, with zero active mines in North America despite a 47 million ton annual global market. The Department of Defense considers chromium so strategic it maintains a 920-tonne ferrochromium stockpile. Common stainless steel contains double the chromium than nickel. Per USGS: “Chromium has no substitute in stainless steel, the leading end use, or in superalloys, the major strategic end use.”

Barrick Gold CEO: “The challenge for the US is smelting capacity, it’s all spoken for. The country needed more domestic smelters if it really wanted to reduce its dependence on imports of metal from China.” – Financial Times

Many fatal barriers prevent the US developing a domestic nickel mining and processing industry. Most US nickel resources are sulfide deposits that create Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) when exposed to air and water, producing sulfuric acid that contaminates water systems. AMD has been called the mining industry’s greatest environmental impact, especially to our waterways. Alaska’s Pebble Mine was denied permits after a decade of attempts, with water contamination from AMD being a factor in the denial.

Nickel smelters would be near impossible to permit in the US, facing multiple barriers. They emit toxic SO₂ gases and particulates causing respiratory diseases and acid rain. Environmental regulations and energy prices are major roadblocks to building profitable smelters.²⁶ The US has historically relied on Canadian nickel imports from Sudbury, but those mines face depleting reserves. Canadian environmental standards have resulted in smelter closures and operational challenges, while communities in Canadian mining towns have opposed building new smelters due to health concerns.

Reuters reported in May 2025 in an article titled “US aluminum smelters vie with Big Tech for scarce power” that “High power prices killed off most of the country’s smelters and a lack of competitively priced power has deterred anyone from building one since the last century.” Electricity costs are a major barrier to building new smelters in the US, where American electricity prices can far exceed the costs of burning coal in Indonesia for electricity to power smelters.²⁷

CHINA'S STRATEGIC TAKEOVER OF GLOBAL NICKEL

China executed a methodical takeover of the global nickel supply chain. In 2012, Hong Kong Exchanges acquired the London Metals Exchange where global nickel prices are set. Following the 2013 Belt and Road Initiative launch, China capitalized when Indonesia banned raw ore exports in 2020, with Chinese companies committing $30 billion in investments, much backed by state banks and Belt and Road funding. Indonesia became Belt and Road’s single biggest recipient in 2023, receiving $7.3 billion largely directed at nickel.

Today, Chinese companies control 90% of Indonesia’s nickel processing through 43 operating smelters with 28 under construction. China has designated major nickel projects as National Strategic Projects (NSP), granting them special police and military protection. These operations achieve costs impossible under Western standards by dumping acidic waste into oceans, using coal-fired power, and employing practices that resulted in dozens of worker deaths. In September 2024, the US Department of Labor added Indonesian nickel to its list of goods produced by child and forced labor.

Indonesia produces 60% of global nickel supply—essentially controlled by China through systematic investment and infrastructure development. The Financial Times dubbed this arrangement the “OPEC of nickel.”

China has already weaponized critical minerals through graphite export restrictions and rare earth export controls, demonstrating its willingness to leverage mineral dominance for geopolitical advantage. With near-total control of global nickel processing, China could restrict nickel exports at any moment, crippling Western defense and clean energy sectors.

Against this backdrop of Chinese monopoly control and America’s complete vulnerability, First Atlantic’s nickel discovery represents a critical opportunity to break free from foreign dependence and onshore nickel production before it’s too late.

“There is no adequate alternative supply of nickel produced outside of China or by non-Chinese companies.”

THE SOLUTION: FIRST ATLANTIC'S BREAKTHROUGH DISCOVERY OF AWARUITE (NI₃FE), A RARE, HIGH-GRADE, NATURAL NICKEL ALLOY THAT BYPASSES THE NEED FOR SMELTING

“The development of awaruite deposits in other parts of Canada may help alleviate any prolonged shortage of nickel concentrate. Awaruite, a natural iron-nickel alloy, is much easier to concentrate than pentlandite, the principal sulfide of nickel.”

The United States Geological Survey identified awaruite (Ni₃Fe) as a potential solution back in 2012, yet no significant drilled discoveries occurred until now. This ultra-rare, naturally magnetic alloy contains approximately 77% nickel, 21% iron, and 1% cobalt²⁸.

As a natural nickel alloy, awaruite bypasses the typical secondary processing required for nickel sulfides and laterites – smelting, roasting, or high pressure acid leaching. These energy-intensive, costly methods carry severe environmental risks from emissions and acidic tailings.

Instead, awaruite processing uses magnetic separation with simple flotation to produce ~60% nickel concentrate²⁹ – more than 4X the grade of typical nickel sulfide concentrates. Compare that to the 14% nickel concentrate³⁰ from Michigan’s Eagle Mine, America’s only operating nickel mine.

This high-grade concentrate delivers four times more nickel per ton, making shipping more economic while eliminating overseas smelter dependence and the associated treatment and refining charges.³⁰ The process employs proven technology from North American iron mines like Cliffs Natural Resources in Minnesota.³¹ It also uses significantly less electricity and creates a cleaner environmental footprint that streamlines permitting.

UNPRECEDENTED NICKEL-CHROMIUM DISCOVERY IN THE ATLANTIC: 30KM OPHIOLITE COMPLEX FROM EARTH'S MANTLE ENRICHED IN AWARUITE

First Atlantic owns 100% of the Atlantic Nickel Project, encompassing the entire Pipestone Ophiolite Complex – a 30-kilometer belt of ultramafic rocks within the ancient Appalachian mountain belt. This 489-million-year-old section of ocean floor was thrust onto the continental margin during the formation of the Appalachian Mountains that run down eastern North America.

The ultramafic rocks formed deep in Earth’s mantle represent some of the most nickel-enriched geology on the planet. Through serpentinization – where water interaction over millions of years triggered chemical reactions requiring hydrogen – these rocks formed the ultra-rare awaruite nickel-iron-cobalt alloy (~77% nickel³³) along with significant chromite mineralization. Unlike traditional sulfide nickel requiring smelters, awaruite formed as a natural alloy – essentially pure metal, pre-processed by nature itself.

The serpentinization process that creates awaruite also generates significant hydrogen gas.This has attracted attention from the Colorado School of Mines – one of America’s top-ranked geology schools with Department of Energy ARPA-E funding for geologic hydrogen research. They’ve partnered with First Atlantic to investigate this potential clean energy breakthrough in these ophiolites. During serpentinization, iron oxidizes and water reduces to liberate molecular hydrogen (H₂), which could provide an abundant, low-cost clean energy source with the USGS and DOE targeting production costs below $1 per kilogram – potentially disrupting traditional hydrocarbons and far undercutting the $5-7 per kilogram typical for green hydrogen production.

FIRST ATLANTIC'S CLUSTER OF AWARUITE DISCOVERIES: MULTIPLE NICKEL-CHROMIUM ZONES ACROSS 30-KILOMETER OPHIOLITE COMPLEX

First Atlantic Nickel’s discovery of awaruite is a potential game-changer in the race to secure reliable, large-scale sources of critical minerals that can be domestically processed. The company has transformed from a junior explorer into the owner of what could become the continent’s first smelter-free nickel mining district.

Surface sampling dating back to the 1980s showed elevated nickel, chromium and cobalt across this magnetic trend, with over 8,900 historical samples compiled, including 4,600 samples showing elevated nickel values across the 30-kilometer core area. Prior companies weren’t aware of awaruite’s significance and did not identify the source of the nickel anomalies.

Building on decades of overlooked potential, the company’s transformation began in winter 2024 when it rebranded and acquired the entire 30-kilometer ophiolite complex. This brought unique advantage – the company’s geologist had completed his 2012 university thesis on this exact project titled “An Examination of Awaruite (Ni₃Fe) Formation During Serpentinization of the Pipestone Pond Ophiolitic Complex”.

In summer 2024, First Atlantic’s project geologists conducted regional exploration across the entire 30-kilometer trend of nickel and chromium bearing ultramafic rocks, discovering large grains of visible awaruite at the surface that led to the RPM discovery.

The RPM Zone is a brand-new discovery 30 kilometers south of historic Atlantic Lake drilling where short holes had accidentally discovered nickel decades ago, though previous explorers were unaware of awaruite’s existence. Today, every single RPM hole has hit continuous, consistent grades.

Phase 2 results delivered 447.35 meters – more than a quarter mile – with all holes ending in mineralization, indicating size potential even greater than reported.

All six RPM holes returned high-grade magnetic concentrates with nickel, chromium, and cobalt, averaging 1.38% nickel and 1.67% chromium, with peaks reaching 2.35% nickel and 8.17% chromium.

This consistency, achieved through simple magnetic separation with high recovery rates and mass pull under 10%, means 90% of material is discarded as waste rock early in the process.

This waste rock is non-acid generating and contains brucite³⁴ that can capture carbon, creating an environmentally safe and sustainable mine with clean processing, no smelting, and significantly lower electricity requirements.

While current drilling has proven a 400×500 meter area at RPM with numerous pending holes that could expand these dimensions, the RPM Zone represents just a fraction of the size potential. The true prize is the 30-kilometer strike length of nickel-bearing ultramafic rocks containing awaruite and chromium running from RPM north to Atlantic Lake. This could develop into a multi-pit mining district with RPM alone having potential for 1 billion tons – close to 6 billion pounds of nickel.

The project’s critical minerals include chromium averaging 1.67% in concentrate – vital for stainless steel with zero current North American production – plus cobalt. Ultra-low impurities make this ideal for direct steel mill feed or EV battery refineries, eliminating North America’s nickel processing bottleneck.

Direct road access and hydroelectric power with excess capacity are available to support the project’s development. Plus, Newfoundland’s pro-mining jurisdiction has approved drilling permits in just three weeks. Critically, Newfoundland doesn’t have First Nations with land rights – a major hurdle elsewhere in Canada and the US – making it a unique mining jurisdiction in North America that removes significant permitting obstacles.

Market observers note First Atlantic’s favorable financing from an anonymous strategic corporate partner, including above-market price financings and unsecured loans deferring interest for five years.

Awaruite is so rare that even major mining companies and ultramafic rock specialists are unfamiliar with it – another reason to stay anonymous.

Disclosure could trigger a bidding war for this discovery that can be fully processed on-site with a complete North American supply chain for nickel, chromium, and cobalt – minerals designated critical by the US, Canada, European Union, and Japan.

FIRST ATLANTIC NICKEL: UNLOCKING A PURE DOMESTIC RESILIENT CRITICAL MINERALS SUPPLY CHAIN

For the United States to successfully reshore its manufacturing and dominate the development and production of future technologies – from EVs to battery manufacturing – it requires a resilient critical mineral supply chain. This means securing reliable, onshore sources of critical minerals, with nickel at the top of the Department of Energy’s list due to its high risk from energy, national security, and supply chain disruption vulnerabilities.

First Atlantic Nickel’s breakthrough discovery could prove essential to both economic prosperity and national security. The company’s 30-kilometer trend of high-grade awaruite could provide the secure, reliable nickel and chromium supply that reshoring American manufacturing demands – without the need for a single new smelter.
