Nord Precious Metals' Test Work from Beaver Mine Tailings Produces Commercial High-Grade Silver Concentrate
Nord Precious Metals (OTCQB: CCWOF) reported test work on Beaver Mine stamp mill tailings that produced a high-grade silver concentrate of 2,114.9 g/t using Falcon gravity technology (a 1,173% concentration factor), and 1,268.6 g/t via spiral concentration. A 2020 sonic drill program (354 m; 127 holes) returned an average tailings grade of 79.0 g/t Ag with cobalt, copper and nickel traces. Ontario Ministry guidance dated August 29 confirms toll-processing can be included in the company's Recovery Permit application for a district-scale hub-and-spoke plan. Nord engaged Story Environmental for permitting, maintains agreements with three First Nations, and plans to commission a 600 tpd modular gravity plant upon permit receipt with initial processing targeted in 2026.
Nord Precious Metals (OTCQB: CCWOF) ha riportato lavori di test sulla Beaver Mine e sui suoi fanghi di mulino a timbro che hanno prodotto una concentrazione di argento ad alto grado di 2.114,9 g/t utilizzando la tecnologia Falcon gravity (un fattore di concentrazione di 1.173%), e 1.268,6 g/t tramite concentrazione a spirale. Un programma di trivellazioni soniche del 2020 (354 m; 127 fori) ha restituito una resa media dei tailings di 79,0 g/t Ag con tracce di cobalto, rame e nichel. Le linee guida del Dipartimento dell’Ontario datate 29 agosto confermano che la lavorazione a contratto (toll-processing) può essere inclusa nella domanda di Permesso di Recupero della società per un piano distrettuale hub-and-spoke. Nord ha incaricato Story Environmental per le autorizzazioni, mantiene accordi con tre First Nations, e prevede di mettere in funzione un impianto modulare di gravità da 600 tpd non appena verrà rilasciato il permesso, con l’elaborazione iniziale prevista nel 2026.

Coquitlam, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2025) - Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. (TSXV: NTH) (OTCQB: CCWOF) (FSE: 4T9B) (the "Company" or "Nord") has completed additional testing demonstrating commercial high-grade concentration to 2,114.9 grams per tonne using Falcon concentration technology, representing a 1,
"These results validate both our technical approach and our district strategy," stated Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., President & CEO. "Material already mined sits at surface. The metallurgy is proven. The regulatory pathway is clear. The Ministry's guidance on toll processing confirms what we've designed: a hub-and-spoke model that works at the regulatory level."
Two distinct concentration methods were tested on Beaver tailings samples. Material with head assays of 180.3 g/t and 205.8 g/t silver concentrated to 1,268.6 g/t using spiral technology (representing 616
The test work builds on a 354-meter of sonic drill program in 2020 that evaluated tailings across 127 drill holes, with grades ranging from 13.7 g/t to 314 g/t silver and an average grade of 79.0 g/t Ag, along with 165.8 ppm cobalt, 341.9 ppm copper, and 114.1 ppm nickel. The coarse grain size of these stamp mill tailings, which may contain fine native silver, makes them amenable to gravity concentration; this is a simpler, lower-cost processing method than flotation or leaching.
At 2,114.9 g/t silver in concentrate, the results place Beaver tailings within specifications acceptable to silver refineries. The difference in concentration factors between spiral (
District-Scale Processing Framework
The Company has received formal guidance from Ontario's Ministry of Energy and Mines confirming that toll processing arrangements (whereby Nord would process tailings from adjacent properties) can be included in its forthcoming Recovery Permit application. The Ministry's written response received August 29, confirms this positioning for the Company's Temiskaming Testing Labs facility as a potential processing hub for the Cobalt-Gowganda Camp's legacy tailings, a district where 108 underground mines historically produced 600 million ounces of silver.
Nord has engaged Story Environmental, based in Haileybury, Ontario, to advise on permitting steps toward processing under Ontario's Recovery Permit framework as part of the Company's ongoing voluntary environmental remediation at the Beaver Mine site. The Company has maintained agreements with three First Nations groups for years, ensuring social license and community support. The testing program incorporated closed-loop water recycling protocols, anticipating permit conditions in a jurisdiction where water management drives regulatory scrutiny.
Commissioning of the Company's already-acquired automated 600 tonne-per-day modular gravity plant is scheduled upon permit receipt. Initial processing is targeted to begin in 2026.

About Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc.
Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. operates the only permitted high-grade milling facility in the historic Cobalt Camp of Ontario, where the Company has established a unique position integrating high-grade silver discovery with strategic metals recovery operations. The Company's flagship Castle property encompasses 63 sq. km of exploration ground and the past-producing Castle Mine, complemented by the Castle East discovery where drilling has delineated 7.56 million ounces of silver in Inferred resources grading an average of 8,582 g/t Ag (250.2 oz/ton) in 27,400 tonnes of material from two sections (1A and 1B) of the Castle East Robinson Zone, beginning at a vertical depth of approximately 400 meters. Note that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please refer to the Nord Precious Metals Press Release May 27, 2020, for the resource estimate.
Nord's integrated processing strategy leverages the synergistic value of multiple metals. High-grade silver recovery supports the economics of extracting critical minerals including cobalt, nickel, and other battery metals, while the Company's proprietary Re-2Ox hydrometallurgical process enables production of technical-grade cobalt sulphate and nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) formulations. This multi-metal approach, combined with established infrastructure including TTL Laboratories and underground mine access, positions Nord to capitalize on both precious metals markets and the growing demand for battery materials.
The Company maintains a strategic portfolio of battery metals properties in Northern Quebec through its
