Flying Nickel Provides Minago Project Update Regarding Project Community Engagement Activity

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2024) - Flying Nickel Mining Corp. (TSXV: FLYN) (OTCQB: FLYNF) ("Flying Nickel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a Quarry project partnership (the "Quarry Project") with Norway House Cree Nation ("NHCN") taking place at the Company's 100% owned Minago nickel project (the "Minago Project") in the Thompson Nickel Belt, Manitoba.

The Quarry Project, which began in February 2024 and is expected to be completed in April 2024, consists of stripping limestone materials near surface carried out under Quarry Lease QL-2067 near the proposed mill site, located approximately 0.5 km west of the proposed open pit site for the Minago Project.

The Quarry Project is expected to provide approximately 7,500 tonnes of limestone construction material for NHCN community infrastructure projects, and along with the completion of two all-weather exploration roads (1.7km and 1.3 km respectively) for Flying Nickel, which will support future Minago exploration drilling programs.

Robert Van Drunen, Chief Operating Officer noted, "The Quarry Project demonstrates Flying Nickel's commitment to First Nations engagement and our valued partnership. The Quarry Project provides capacity building through training opportunities in skilled mining positions such as heavy equipment operation, drilling, crushing, surveying, blasting and trucking to local First Nation people."

The Quarry Project will also utilize a First Nation joint venture construction contractor pursuant to the Impact and Benefit Agreement signed between NHCN and Flying Nickel in March 2023 (see Flying Nickel's news release dated March 14, 2023 for further details).

NHCN is a significant Flying Nickel shareholder and the Minago Project is situated within the resource management area of NHCN.
