Canada Nickel Reports Continued Exploration Success at MacDiarmid, Provides Exploration Update
Five holes testing central region at MacDiarmid yielded muti-hundred metre intervals including 0.25% nickel over 363 metres in hole MAC 25-09
New exploration phase to commence July 14 at Midlothian
TORONTO, July 7, 2025 /CNW/ - Canada Nickel Company Inc. (" Canada Nickel" or the " Company") (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) is pleased to announce positive results from its latest exploration drilling at the Company's MacDiarmid property. The new drilling program has successfully identified further mineralization extending over a strike length of approximately 2,200 metres and a width of about 400 metres. These results build on the initial work completed in the eastern portion of the property in 2021.
CEO Mark Selby said, "Our regional exploration program continues to reinforce the strong potential of the Timmins Nickel District and mark a positive step forward following our earlier drilling at MacDiarmid. With our recently completed financing, we are set to resume drilling at our Midlothian property the week of July 14 th. That same week, we anticipate publishing initial resources for our Mann Central and Texmont properties, adding our fourth and fifth resources in the district. By year-end, we expect to publish three additional resource estimates, bringing the total to nine – including Crawford – and further demonstrating the remarkable scale and opportunity within the Timmins Nickel District."
MacDiarmid Property
The MacDiarmid property is located 23 kilometres southwest of Crawford, 27 kilometres northwest of Timmins. The property hosts an arcuate ultramafic body that measures at least 3 kilometres in length and up to 600 metres in width (covering 1.1 square kilometres or similar in size to the Crawford Main Zone target).
Drilling in the winter of 2025 focused on the central portion of the target, testing the width and length extension from the boundaries outlined in earlier exploration campaigns during 2021 and 2022. The drilling intersected predominantly long sections of serpentinized dunite and minor peridotite with disseminated nickel sulphide mineralization consisting primarily of pentlandite and heazlewoodite. The Company has drilled a total of 12 holes at MacDiarmid, seven of which were drilled during the 2025 campaign (Figure 1). One hole, MAC25-06 targeted an EM (electromagnetic) anomaly located 800 metres north, outside of the main ultramafic body. The drillhole intersected layered metasedimentary units that in some cases contained angular clasts with varying degrees of sulphide mineralization in them but did not yield any meaningful results. MAC25-10, drilled near an interpreted fault, intersecting at depth, a section of felsic volcanics with strong sulphide mineralization. The fault and EM anomalies remain of interest to the Company and a follow up program will be planned for fall 2025. Assay highlights from all the 2025 drillholes are presented in this release (Table 1).

This feature produces a comprehensive matter overview, including key people, organizations, term descriptions and relevance criteria. From there, teams can refine prompts as needed, accelerating the review process and enabling practitioners to take immediate action. Additionally, aiR for Privilege users will soon be able to find privileged content faster by automating context building that the AI uses to make decisions. Furthermore, a brand-new entity classifier will more accurately identify and classify the entities within each case. This enhancement will help better identify and define the roles of individuals and organizations in a matter, improving precision and efficiency in privilege review. Unlocking new possibilities for innovation To achieve their goals with greater precision and reduced overhead, more than 200 customers have embraced aiR for Review, while over 140 have chosen aiR for Privilege to support their workflows. The scalability and transparent natural language reasoning of this industry-leading technology help customers secure faster results while uncovering deeper insights from data. KordaMentha, an independent and trusted advisory and investment firm working across industries throughout Australia and Asia Pacific, has transformed its legal discovery approach since adopting aiR for Review. The solution has surfaced insights that conventional methods would have overlooked entirely. A recent case study highlights how aiR for Review enabled a defensible and comprehensive review under a tight disclosure deadline, in total saving 25+ days and reducing costs by 85%. With subject matter experts leading the process, KordaMentha was able to uncover several unanticipated findings that drove organizational change. "Whether as a renowned center for international arbitration, a market with extensive regulatory and investigative demands, or a source of exponential data growth, Asia is a dynamic region uniquely suited to Relativity's aiR suite," said Roman Barbera, Partner at KordaMentha. "Building on RelativityOne's proven ability to navigate diverse languages and data types, aiR delivers exceptional scalability and insight. We're excited to deploy this trusted and secure AI solution in a region where KordaMentha is already deeply embedded, and where the need for fast, intelligent and defensible data analysis continues to grow." In addition to the current aiR product availability, Relativity aiR for Case Strategy, a cutting-edge solution that makes it faster and simpler for litigation attorneys to extract facts, craft case narratives and prepare for depositions and trial, is currently in limited general availability and is expected to become generally available to all regions with access to aiR products later this year. For more information about the expansion of aiR availability in Asia, please register for the webinar "Transforming Legal Work in Asia: Introducing Relativity aiR for Review and aiR for Privilege," taking place on July 22. The webinar will offer a first-hand look at aiR for Review and aiR for Privilege through live demonstrations and real stories from early adopters who've already transformed their practices.

Rock Tech Lithium Clarifies Technical Disclosure Relating to the Lopare Lithium Project and Provides Strategic Update on Arcore Transaction
TORONTO, July 7, 2025 /CNW/ - Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (TSXV: RCK) (OTCQX: RCKTF) (FWB: RJIB) (WKN: A1XF0V) (the "Company" or "Rock Tech") is issuing this news release based on a review by staff of the Ontario Securities Commission to clarify that the mineral resource estimate disclosed for Arcore AG's ("Arcore") Lopare Lithium Project ("Lopare Lithium Project" or the "Project") in the Company's news release dated February 20, 2025 is considered by the Company to be a "historical estimate" within the meaning of Section 2.4 of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The source of the historical estimate for the Project is a report completed for Arcore, which is a private Switzerland-based lithium mining company. The report titled "Lopare-Boron-Lithium-Project" was completed by independent mining consultants CSA Global Pty Ltd. ("CSA Global"), an ERM Group Company, and has an effective date of November 30, 2022. This report was not completed in accordance with NI 43-101 and Form 43-101F1 Technical Report disclosure standards and is currently not publicly available or available on SEDAR+. The historical estimate and report were completed and reported in accordance with the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the "JORC Code"). The historical estimate is considered relevant and reliable as it demonstrates the Project's significant lithium and boron resource potential and was completed using current mining industry best practice standards for mineral resource estimation. However, the Company cautions readers that this historical estimate was not completed using CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (May 2014) and CIM Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines (November 2019) and is not supported by a technical report completed in accordance with NI 43-101. In addition, under the JORC (2012) Code standards, Measured, Indicated, and Inferred mineral resources can be aggregated, which is not permitted under NI 43-101. The Lopare Lithium Project historical estimate was completed by CSA Global using a block model method with grade estimation completed using inverse distance weighting squared (IDW²). The historical estimate was reported within a conceptual open-pit shell and determined using a lithium carbonate price of US$40,000/t and boric oxide price of US$1,322 (equivalent to a boric acid (H 3 BO 3) price of US$750/t). These conceptual parameters and costs were determined by CSA Global to support reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The historical estimate was reported above a cut-off grade of 400 ppm Li 2 O and for material less than 400 ppm Li 2 O, a 4% B 2 O 3 cut-off grade was applied. The historical estimate is based on 14,035 assay sample results from 69 historical drill holes. Additional technical work is required prior to upgrading or verifying the historical estimate. Specifically, a field exploration program and diamond drilling program focused on confirming existing geological and drill hole data, including twinning a selection of specific drill holes, is required in order to verify or upgrade the historical estimate to a current mineral resource. At this time, Rock Tech does not have direct access to the Lopare Lithium Project site and, as such, has not been able to conduct independent verification or due diligence on the geological data. There are no other historical estimates for the Lopare Lithium Project. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as current mineral resources and Rock Tech is not treating this historical estimate as current mineral resources. Update on the Arcore Transaction Rock Tech is pleased to provide a strategic update on the transaction (the "Transaction") with Arcore, previously announced on February 20, 2025, which aims to establish a fully integrated European lithium company by combining Rock Tech's Guben Converter in Germany with Arcore's Lopare Lithium Project in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Since signing the business combination agreement, the Company has continued to work on key workstreams and is carefully assessing the opportunity within the broader context of its project portfolio. The outstanding closing conditions include: Technical and Legal Due Diligence Board and Shareholder Approvals Regulatory Approvals (including TSX Venture Exchange) €50 Million Financing Strategy Definitive Agreements The completion of the Transaction remains subject to the fulfillment of closing conditions, including but not limited to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and compliance with applicable legal and tax requirements. The Transaction is also contingent upon capital being raised in the amount of at least €50 million, in the form of equity, equity-linked, or equity-like securities into the new joint venture. Closing is currently targeted for the third quarter of 2025. QUALIFIED PERSON STATEMENT The scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release has been prepared and approved by Cameron Andrews, General Manager Georgia Lake Project, and considered a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Neither the TSX venture exchange nor its regulation services provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX venture exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release. On behalf of the Company, Mirco Wojnarowicz CEO ABOUT ROCK TECH Rock Tech's vision is to supply the electric vehicle and battery industry with sustainable, locally produced lithium, targeting a 100% recycling rate. To ensure resilient supply chains, the company plans to build lithium converters at the doorstep of its customers, beginning with the Company's proposed Lithium Hydroxide Converter in Guben, Brandenburg, Germany. The second Converter is planned to be built in, Ontario, Canada. Rock Tech Lithium plans to source raw material from its own Georgia Lake spodumene project in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Ontario, Canada, and procure from other ESG-compliant mines. Ultimately, Rock Tech's goal is to create a closed-loop lithium production system. Rock Tech has gathered one of the strongest teams in the industry to close the most pressing gap in the clean mobility story. The Company has adopted strict environmental, social and governance standards and is developing a proprietary refining process to increase efficiency and sustainability further.
