Presence of High Titanium Content in the Northern Sector of the Foothills Property
MONTRÉAL, Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NioBay Metals Inc. ("NioBay" or the "Company") (TSX-V: NBY) (OTCQB: NBYCF) is pleased to announce that the receipt of the second set of laboratory results on the Foothills Project confirm the presence of high TiO2 (titanium) grades in rock outcrops located in the northern section of the property. This is massive ilmenite. The Foothills Project is located north of Saint-Urbain, 100 km north of Québec City and 90 km south of Saguenay (La Baie region), Québec. The project covers an area of approximately 285 km2 and is comprised of five separate claim blocks. It covers most of the contact of the intrusive zone known as the Saint-Urbain anorthosite.

June 2024 prospecting area and sample locations
2024年6月勘探區和樣品位置
The Company has filed an application for authorization for impact projects with the Ministry of Natural Resources with the aim of carrying out a drilling campaign as soon as the work is approved. The sector targeted by this drilling campaign is located on the private lands of the Séminaire de Québec, identified as sector 1 by NioBay.
公司已向自然資源部門申請授權，以期待工作獲批後儘快開展鑽探活動。此次鑽探活動的目標區位於NioBay確定的魁北克會議大學的私有土地上，該區域被標識爲板塊1。
Message from NioBay's President and CEO on Foothills
"We are pleased to announce additional results from our exploration campaign on the Foothills Project, this time from sectors 2 and 3. Excellent concentrations of titanium were once again identified, this time in rock outcrops. The presence of massive ilmenite was identified in several areas in the northern sector of zone 3. Zone 3 has just been added to zone 1 as a drilling site. Additional results will follow from the last zones explored in July," concluded Mr. David.
NioBay總裁兼首席執行官關於Foothills的訊息
“我們很高興地宣佈，我們在Foothills項目上的勘探活動取得了額外的成果，這次是來自板塊2和3。再次從岩石露頭中發現了優良的鈦濃度，同時在區域3北部的幾個區域中發現了巨晶狀鈦鐵礦。區域3剛剛被添加到作爲鑽探現場的區域1中。最後勘探的區域將在7月份公佈更多成果。”David先生總結道。
Update on previous private placement
The Company wishes to provide additional information regarding the $981,550 private placement announced on July 26, 2024. An insider of the Company participated in the private placement and subscribed for 150,000 Quebec-eligible flow-through units for proceeds of $10,500. Such participation in the private placement is a "related party transaction" as defined in Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("Regulation 61-101"). The private placement was exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Regulation 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to insiders nor the consideration for such securities by insiders exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company paid $65,033 in cash and issued 929,049 warrants to finders, each entitling to purchase one common share at a price of $0.07 until July 27, 2026.
之前定向增發的更新
公司希望提供有關2024年7月26日宣佈的981,550美元定向增發的額外信息。公司的一名內部人士參加了定向增發，並認購了150,000個魁北克資格流通單位，交易額爲10,500美元。內部人士參加定向增發是《特殊交易中保護少數股東制度》第61-101條規定的“關聯方交易”。定向增發豁免了《特殊交易中保護少數股東制度》規定的正式估值和少數股東批准要求，因爲無論向內部人士發行的證券的市場公允價值，還是向內部人士發行的證券的交換對價是否超過公司市值的25%。該公司支付了65,033美元現金，並向尋找者發行了929,049個認股權證，每個權證都有權以0.07美元的價格購買一股普通股，有效期爲2026年7月27日。

About NioBay Metals Inc.
鈦(Ti)像鋼一樣堅固，但比鋼輕得多。因此，它作爲許多金屬的合金化劑尤其重要，包括鋁、鉬和鐵。這些合金主要用於飛機和航天器，因爲它們的密度低和耐受極端溫度的能力。它們也用於體育器材、筆記本電腦、自行車和醫療假肢。最近，這種金屬已被用於一些電池結構件。
NioBay aims to become a leader in the development of mine(s) with low carbon consumption and responsible water and wildlife management practices while prioritizing the environment, social responsibility, good governance, and the inclusion of all stakeholders. Our top priority, which is critical to our success, is the consent and full participation of the Indigenous communities in whose territories and/or on ancestral lands we operate. In addition to others properties, NioBay holds a 100% interest in the James Bay Niobium Project located 45 km south of Moosonee, in the Moose Cree Traditional Territory of the James Bay Lowlands in Ontario. NioBay also holds a 72.5% interest in the Crevier Niobium and Tantalum project located in Québec and on the Nitassinan territory of the Pekuakamiulnuatsh First Nation. The Company has also the option to acquire a 80% interest in the Foothills project, a titanium-phosphate project located near the former St-Urbain mine site in Québec.
NioBay旨在成爲低碳消耗、注重環境、社會責任、良好治理和納入所有利益相關者利益的採礦業領導者，以及負責任的水資源和野生動植物管理實踐倡導者。我們的首要任務是獲得經營或存在於祖傳土地上的土著社區的同意和全面參與，這對我們的成功至關重要。除了其他產業外，NioBay還持有James Bay-Niobium計劃的100%權益，位於安大略省詹姆斯灣低地的鹿晗Moose Cree傳統領土南部的Moosonee市以南45公里處。NioBay還持有Crevier鈮鉭項目的72.5%股權，該項目位於魁北克省和Pekuakamiulnuatsh第一民族的Nitassinan領地上。公司還有選擇獲得Foothills項目80%權益的選項，該項目是位於魁北克省聖烏爾班礦山遺址附近的一個鈦磷礦項目。
About Titanium
關於鈦
Titanium (Ti) is as strong as steel, but much less dense. It is therefore important as an alloying agent with many metals, including aluminum, molybdenum and iron. These alloys are mainly used in aircraft and spacecraft because of their low density and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. They are also used in sports equipment, laptops, bicycles and medical prostheses. Recently, this metal has been used in some battery components.
