Nexcel expands Burnt Hill Tungsten Project to 8,046 hectares
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2026) - Nexcel Metals Corp. (CSE: NEXX) (OTCQB: NXXCF) (FSE: 2OH) ("Nexcel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has further expanded its Burnt Hill Tungsten Project (the " Project ") located in New Brunswick, Canada through the strategic staking of additional mineral claims in close proximity to the existing Project. The additional claims are the second tranche of claim staking at Burnt Hill in 2026 (see news release dated March 24 th , 2026). The newly staked claims increase the total Project size to approximately 8,046 hectares, representing an expansion from the previous 5,677 hectares.

This granite-hosted structural setting is considered highly prospective for tungsten mineralization and represents a key control on mineralizing systems within the district. The expanded land package now provides Nexcel with: Increased exposure to favourable granite-associated mineralized trends Additional untested exploration targets Enhanced potential for new discoveries beyond the historically defined zones Positioning for Proposed 2026 Drill Program With the significantly enlarged property footprint, Nexcel is now positioned to evaluate a broader range of targets as part of its exploration strategy, beyond the historic tungsten resource and land package.
The Company is currently advancing plans for a Phase 1 drill program scheduled for Summer 2026, which will aim to: Confirm and expand known zones of tungsten mineralization Test newly identified geophysical and geological targets Evaluate the broader mineralized system across the expanded property The additional claims meaningfully enhance the Company's ability to generate and prioritize drill targets across multiple zones within the Project area. Hugh Rogers, CEO of Nexcel, commented, "We are pleased to continue to expand the Burnt Hill Project with strategic and cost-effective staking. Expansion of the Burnt Hill Project further strengthens our control over a highly prospective tungsten system and increases the overall scope of Burnt Hill Project."
