Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 23, 2022) - ArcPacific Resources Corp. (TSXV: ACP) (FSE: P21P) (OTC Pink: ACPRF) ("ACP" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement dated November 20, 2022 (the "Option Agreement") to acquire a 100% interest in the TL Nickel Project (the "Property") located 50 kilometres northwest of Voisey's Bay Ni-Cu-Co (nickel-copper-cobalt) mine and 70km west of the town of Nain, in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The Property is located in the Churchill Province of Labrador and consists predominately of quartz-feldspathic and metasedimentary gneisses derived from plutonic and sedimentary rocks. The rocks are intruded by the multi-phase, Nain Plutonic Suite (NPS) composed primarily of anorthosite, troctolite, diorite and granitoids.

Following the discovery of Voisey's Bay deposit, enhanced regional prospecting led to the discovery of three pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-pyrite showings located on the Property, namely, the Long Pond, All About-it, and No Baccy. Initial surface grab samples from the Long Pond and All About-it Showings returned up to 1.36% Ni and 0.58% Cu, and 1.05% Ni and 1.53% Cu respectively. Initial chip sampling at the No Baccy Showing returned up to 0.71% Ni and 0.85% Cu over 2.3 metres (Saunders & Scott, 2003). Work continued on the Property through 1995-1996 and 2001-2008 which resulted in the identification of a primary mineralized corridor occurring over approximately 2 kilometres centered on the Property. Below are selected highlights from the drilling on the Property.

Previous drilling did not test the structures to depth, as such the mineralization remains open. The mineralization is contained within troctolitic gabbroic intrusive rocks and consists of pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite, up to 40% sulphide content has been observed locally, and exhibits leopard textures typical of mineralization at the Voisey's Bay orebody.

Adrian Smith, CEO of ArcPacific, comments, "This acquisition provides the Company with an excellent opportunity to expand its exposure to the rapidly growing energy metal space. The Property has several geological and geophysical similarities to the Voisey's Bay Mine located only 50km to the southeast which includes a purpose-built port. We believe there is a significant opportunity to expand on the nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization present by testing the structures to depth and infilling along the 2-kilometre mineralized trend."

An Airborne VTEM/MAG survey completed in 2008 outlined numerous EM conductors and coincident Magnetic anomalies giving better definition to current targets and identifying new ones which have not all been tested. It also has shown that the two mineralized trends (see Figure 1 below) can be traced for several km and leaving several high priority targets untested. The Company is in the process of completing a detailed data review and geological modeling program which will aid in planning future work programs on the Property.

Details of the Acquisition

To earn a 100% interest in and to the Property, the Company will be required to issue 2,750,000 common shares and pay $175,000 cash over two years in accordance with the following payment schedule:

An advanced Royalty payment of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) per annum shall come into effect beginning on the first month following the filing of a NI 43-101 or equivalent resource calculation completed on the Property containing at a minimum, ten million tonnes (10,000,000 tonnes) at a grade of 0.5% nickel. The advanced Royalty payments shall be reduced from the buyback payments noted above and shall be limited to a combined total of one million dollars ($1,000,000).

All securities issued in connection with the Option Agreement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from issuance pursuant to applicable securities laws.
