Building North America’s LFP Supply Chain. First Phosphate Corp. is a Québec-based critical minerals development company focused on establishing a fully integrated North American lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery materials supply chain. First Phosphate is dedicated exclusively to supplying the rapidly expanding LFP battery market through the production of high-purity igneous phosphate, purified phosphoric acid, and iron phosphate precursor materials.
Differentiated with Significant Competitive Advantages. First Phosphate benefits from significant competitive advantages and differentiation within both the phosphate industry and the broader critical minerals sector. Most phosphate producers worldwide focus on fertilizer markets using sedimentary phosphate deposits that require significant upgrading and are generally less suitable for producing battery-grade phosphoric acid. By contrast, First Phosphate is exclusively targeting the LFP battery industry using rare high-purity igneous phosphate, allowing it to focus on higher-value specialty battery materials.

Second Quarter Financial Results. Compared to the prior year period, second-quarter 2026 revenue increased to $551.6 million from $547.5 million due to strong oil & gas royalty revenues, increased coal sales volumes, and higher other revenues, partially offset by a lower average realized coal sales price per ton. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.7% to $185.7 million compared to $161.9 million in the second quarter of last year. Adjusted net income attributable to ARLP increased to $79.6 million, or $0.61 per unit, compared to $59.4 million, or $0.46 per unit, during the prior year period. Second quarter financial results were largely in line with our estimates. We had projected total revenue of $553.5 million, adj. EBITDA of $181.2 million, and EPU of $0.62.
Oil & Gas Royalties Remain a Key Growth Driver. The oil & gas royalties segment delivered record quarterly revenue and segment adjusted EBITDA, driven by increased volumes and higher commodity prices. On July 1, ARLP closed the $206.2 million AllDale III and IV acquisition. Crude oil volumes are now expected to be in the range of 1.95 million to 2.05 million barrels, natural gas volumes are expected to be in the range of 10.0 million to 10.5 million MCF, and liquids volumes are expected to be in the range of 1.1 million to 1.2 million barrels.

Strong Operating Momentum. Kuya Silver reported another record quarter at its Bethania mine, with mined mineralized material increasing 66% sequentially to 5,097 tonnes. The company also achieved record quarterly silver production of 23,912 ounces or 30,559 silver-equivalent ounces, along with record monthly production in June as underground development, mine sequencing, and production rates continued to improve. Management expects recoveries and grades to continue strengthening as the operation advances toward steady-state production.
Quarterly Financial Highlights. Revenue for the quarter totaled approximately $1.25 million, generated primarily from silver sales, which accounted for 87% of total revenue. Metal sold included 17,450 ounces of silver or 20,006 ounces of silver equivalent. The company realized an average silver selling price of $72 per ounce during the quarter, benefiting from a favorable silver price environment. While quarterly silver sales volumes were lower than the prior year due to the timing of sales, higher realized silver prices supported revenue growth as production continued to ramp toward higher sustainable mining rates. We expect the company to release full second quarter financial and operational results in mid-August.

VANCOUVER, BC, April 28, 2026 – Nicola Mining Inc.(NASDAQ: NICM) (TSXV: NIM) (FSE: HLIA) (the “Company” or “Nicola“) is pleased to announce commencement of the 2026 Exploration Diamond Drilling Program (the “2026 Program“) at its New Craigmont Copper Project (“New Craigmont”), near Merritt, BC.
Exploration Target
In 2022, Nicola Mining Inc. completed a property-wide Z-axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) survey conducted by Geotech Ltd. Interpretation of the dataset identified a prominent resistivity anomaly located immediately north of the historical Craigmont open pit (Figure 1). Subsequent drilling completed in 2023 (holes NC23-005 and NC23-006), positioned to the south of this anomaly, intersected encouraging porphyry-style alteration assemblages, supporting the potential for a larger mineralized system at depth. Nicola has designated this geophysical feature as the “Jotun” target (pronounced Yoten).
The Company considers the Jotun target to be a compelling exploration opportunity that may represent the causative intrusive source responsible for the high-grade copper skarn historically mined at Craigmont. Nicola’s 2026 plans include drilling an exploration hole to directly test the ZTEM anomaly and evaluate its potential as a core of a porphyry-skarn system; however, it should be noted that New Craigmont has the potential of hosting multiple porphyries, as highlighted by the adjacent Highland Valley Copper.
Figure 1. Location Map of the Planned Drill Hole and Geological Setting
Diamond Drilling Plans
Exploration plans for the 2026 Program include diamond drilling at the Jotun target area, a previously untested zone within the New Craigmont Project. The Company will be working with Dorado Drilling Ltd. to execute the program.
The planned drill hole is designed to test the interpreted ZTEM resistivity anomaly at depth, with the target zone expected to be intersected at approximately 775 metres downhole, based on the current geological model and assuming a drill orientation of approximately 80 degrees dip and the planned azimuth. This hole is intended to evaluate the potential presence of a causative intrusive body associated with the historical Craigmont copper skarn system.
Drilling at the Jotun target will open a new exploration area at New Craigmont and is expected to provide valuable geological information to support ongoing target development, including improved understanding of alteration assemblages, structural controls, lithological contacts, and mineralization, which are critical components in advancing exploration of a potential porphyry copper system at New Craigmont.
Figure 2. Cross section (and plan view) of the Jotun target: untested ZTEM resistivity high.
The estimated budget for the 2026 Program is $1.5M, which includes a geophysical survey and a soil sampling campaign. Nicola anticipates drilling to conclude in early June before commencing another diamond drilling program at its Treasure Mountain silver project.
Soil sampling will be conducted in the northwestern portion of the property to support target generation in underexplored areas. In addition, the Company plans to complete a comprehensive Mobile Magnetotelluric (Mobile MT) survey to further refine deep geophysical targets across the property. Details of these programs will be shared as the field season advances.
The Company also expects to have its thermal vectoring dataset fully processed during the season, which will support further interpretation of hydrothermal alteration patterns and help guide decisions on whether to continue expanding this work with additional data collection in the following year.
The Company expects to provide additional updates on exploration activities and results as the field season progresses.
Qualified Person The scientific and technical disclosure included in this news release have been reviewed and approved by Will Whitty, P.Geo., who is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Whitty is Vice President, Exploration for the Company.
