Vancouver, British Columbia, September 28, 2023 – Flying Nickel Mining Corp. (“Flying Nickel” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: FLYN, OTCQB: FLYNF) announces that the Company has engaged Mercator Geological Services to commission an independent platinum group metals (“PGM”) and nickel Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) for the Minago project (“Minago”) located in Manitoba’s Thompson’s Nickel Belt, Canada.

About the Minago Project
The Minago Project is located in Canada’s Thompson Nickel Belt and currently has a NI 43-101 compliant open pit optimized and underground, Measured and Indicated resource of 44.2 million tonnes grading 0.74% Ni (722 million lbs contained nickel) and Inferred resource of 19.6 million tonnes grading 0.74% Ni (319 million lbs contained nickel). This technical report, completed by Mercator and AGP, has an effective date of February 28, 2022, and is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR.
There has been cumulative 90,783 meters of drilling at the Minago Project by 6 operators since 1966. Additionally, Flying Nickel drilled 2,718 meters in 2022 since acquiring the Minago Project in February 2021.
QA/QC
The sampling process incorporated blanks (Ordovician crushed homogeneous limestone), standards (certified reference material: CDN-ME) and duplicates (core duplicate ¼). QAQC samples were inserted at intervals of 20, which represent 6% of samples.
