First Atlantic Nickel showcases Pipestone XL awaruite concentrate grading up to 71.9% nickel at DIBX 2026

• First Atlantic Nickel & Cobalt will present Pipestone XL awaruite drill core and ONSHORE MAX concentrate at DIBX 2026 on Aug. 25-27.
• Preliminary SGS tests produced alloy concentrates averaging 67.4% nickel, peaking at 71.9% nickel, with cobalt up to 1.76%.
• Awaruite’s metallic, magnetic nickel-iron-cobalt form supports smelter-free concentration, targeting North America’s constrained midstream nickel processing capacity.
• The company positioned Pipestone XL as potential feed for downstream stainless steel, specialty alloy, or battery-chemical refining supply chains.
• North America has no operating U.S. primary nickel smelter; only two pyrometallurgical nickel smelters remain, both in Ontario.
