This news release contains certain "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" under applicable Canadian and United States securities laws concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of each of Flying Nickel and Nevada Vanadium (collectively, the "Corporations").

Forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management of Flying Nickel at the date the statements are made, and are based on a number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of the Corporations, there is no assurance they will prove to be correct and are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward -looking statements include changes in market conditions, actions that may be taken by any third parties including Nevada Vanadium, the Concerned Shareholders or any other parties, changes in the positions taken by each of the parties including the Corporations and the Concerned Shareholders, cash flow, risks relating to the availability and timeliness of regulatory, shareholder and governmental approvals, supply of, and demand for, battery metals such as Nickel and Vanadium, fluctuating commodity prices and currency exchange rates, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry, failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated.
These factors are discussed in greater detail in Flying Nickel's most recent MD&A filed under its profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and in the joint information circular of the Corporations dated July 10, 2024 filed on the SEDAR+ profiles of each of the Corporations, which also provide additional general assumptions in connection with these statements.
