Quebec Nickel Corp. Exploration Update

1,717-line kilometre VTEM^TM (Geotech) Airborne Geophysical System Survey

Further to the Company's press release dated November 25, 2021, the survey crew and system have mobilized to its base of operations at Lebel-sur-Quévillon, and the 1,717-line kilometre VTEM^TM (Geotech) airborne geophysical survey is underway over the Ducros Group Nickel-Copper-PGE Project. The late survey start-up has been due to unprecedented delays due to contractor scheduling issues related to severe weather conditions and crew, system, and equipment availability.

Mr. David Patterson, CEO of QNI, commented: "We are extremely excited to finally announce the start-up of this long-awaited, state-of-the-art, high-definition airborne electromagnetic-magnetic survey over the entire Ducros Group property claim group. This phase of work marks a significant new milestone in the evolution of QNI's strategic exploration and development plan over the property, moving forward into 2022."

Based on the survey data interpretation results, selective follow-up ground-truthing geophysical surveying and prospecting/sampling will be conducted over high-priority electromagnetic conductors spatially associated with positive magnetic anomalies. The primary objective of this work is to identify new Ni-Cu-PGE drill targets associated with untested mafic-ultramafic intrusions over the significant Ducros Group property holdings within areas of limited exploration work and thick overburden cover.
