TORONTO – November 24th, 2023 – Canada Nickel Company Inc. (“Canada Nickel” or the “Company”) (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQB: CNIKF), has filed a Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) for its wholly-owned Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project (“Crawford”) located in Timmins, Ontario, Canada. The BFS is available on www.sedarplus.ca and on www.canadanickel.com. The BFS, titled, “Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project NI 43-101 Technical Report and Feasibility Study” was independently prepared by Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc. (“Ausenco”), in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), as previously announced in a news release dated October 12, 2023.
Crawford, located in the Timmins nickel district, is the world’s second largest nickel reserve1. Once in production, it is also expected to become one of Canada’s largest carbon storage facilities and be a net negative contributor of CO2 over the project life.
The previously announced highlights from the Crawford BFS are listed below (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated).

Non-IFRS measures
The Company has included certain non-IFRS measures in this press release. The Company believes that these measures provide investors an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the project. The non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to other issuers.
Net C1 cash costs are the sum of operating costs (including all expenses related to stripping), net of by-product credits from cobalt, palladium, platinum, iron and chromium per pound of payable nickel. Net AISC (all in sustaining costs) are C1 cash costs plus royalties plus sustaining capital per pound of payable nickel. Sustaining and expansion capital are non-IFRS measures. Sustaining capital is defined as capital required to maintain operations at existing levels. Expansion capital is defined as capital expenditures for major growth projects or enhancement capital for significant infrastructure improvements at existing operations. Both measurements are used by management to assess the effectiveness of investment programs.
NSR (Net Smelter Return) includes gross revenues less refining costs. EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, which comprise NSR less royalties and operating costs and for the purpose of the economic analysis assume all stripping costs following the initial construction period are expensed. Free cash flow represents operating cash flow less capital expenditures.
