High Grade Nickel Sulphide Assays from West Pickle Lake
First Class Metals PLC ("First Class Metals" "FCM" or the "Company") the UK metals exploration company seeking large scale metal discoveries across its extensive Canadian Schreiber-Hemlo & Sunbeam Project land holding is pleased to provide an update on activities in respect to the West Pickle Lake Earn In/Joint Venture (JV) ("Pickle Lake JV" "West Pickle Lake") with Palladium One Inc (TSXV:PDM) ("Palladium One").
First Class Metals is pleased to report further high-grade drillhole intercepts from the West Pickle Lake massive sulphide discovery in Ontario, Canada. The assay results include the high grade reported from hole TK-22-073 at 10.3% Nickel (Ni), 2.9% Copper (Cu) over 1.8 meters, see Figure 1.
Three further holes are reported (TK22-071 to TK22-073), the latter two have reported significant nickel/copper sulphides, see Table 1 for full details of the program to date.

(2) Italicised grey shaded values are previously reported, see previous news releases.
Interpretation of the VTEM data by Palladium One infers there is potential for further discoveries, specifically to the west of WPL, in the area of TK22-076 which was previously reported as a significant exploration hole, see Figure 3
Figure 3 Plan and long section looking north perpendicular to the interpreted chonolith structure linking the West Pickle and RJ zones, showing potential for massive sulphide mineralization beyond the depth detectable by the 2021 VTEM airborne survey.
Marc J Sale, First Class Metals CEO commented:
"The West Pickle Lake nickel-copper sulphide discovery continues to report high grade nickel assays and FCM remains further encouraged by these results which includes over 7% Nickel and 2% Copper Cu over 2.6 meters in hole TK22-073. The success to date and accordingly the potential of the discovery continues to grow and, significantly for FCM, remains open to the west in the direction of the 100% FCM owned North Hemlo property. I look forward to reporting on the progress and remaining assays in due course".

First Class Metals PLC - Background
First Class Metals is focussed on exploration in Ontario, Canada which is considered a top global destination for exploration with a robust and thriving junior mineral exploration sector. Specifically, the Hemlo 'camp' is a proven world class address for gold /VMS exploration. This geological terrane has significant production, both base / precious metals and a prolific number of exploration projects and numerous prospector's showings.
FCM has commenced exploration programmes based on the detailed historical data review of available information on and around its seven claim blocks which comprise over 180km(2).
Figure 3. The original claim blocks that formed the 'North Hemlo Property'. Note Pezim II (33 claims) are now the renamed 'West Pickle Lake' Palladium One JV/earn in property.
FCM-PDM JOINT VENTURE/EARN IN BACKGROUND
In July 2021 FCM secured a JV with Palladium One over the Pickle Lake Project area (comprising 33 single cell mining claims and the "Project") Palladium One have the option to earn-in to an 80% interest in the Project subject to a three-year work program commitment. The JV sits on the eastern flank of FCM's Flagship North Hemlo Project.
Palladium One has the option to earn up to an 80% undivided working interest and a royalty Buy-Back Right, in the Earn-In Properties, over a 3-year earn-in period by incurring Canadian Exploration Expenses as follows:
Year 1 - an amount of not less than C$25,000 on or before the 1st anniversary of the Effective Date:
Year 2 - an amount of not less than C$135,000 (for an aggregate amount of $160,000) on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date to earn a 51% interest: and
Year 3 - an amount of not less than C$165,000 (for an aggregate amount of not less than $325,000) and by preparing a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI43-101") Technical Report with respect to the Earn-In Properties on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date to earn an additional 29% (for a total aggregate 80% interest).
