TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 22, 2021 / EV Nickel Inc. ("EV Nickel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that on Friday, November 19, 2021, it obtained a receipt for a final prospectus (the "Final Prospectus") from the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada except Québec, in connection with its initial public offering (the "Offering") of units of the Company (the "Offered Units") at a price of $0.75 per Offered Unit and common shares of the Company (the "Common Shares") which will each qualify as a "flow-through share" as defined in subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act (as defined herein) (the "FT Shares", together with the Offered Units, the "Offered Securities"), at a purchase price of $0.86‎ per FT Share, to raise minimum gross proceeds of $5,000,000 and maximum gross proceeds of $5,500,000.

The Offering is completed on a "commercially reasonable efforts" basis through a syndicate of agents led by Echelon Wealth Partners Inc., as lead agent and sole bookrunner, and including Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc., Cormark Securities Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (collectively, the "Agents").

The ‎Company has granted the Agents an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), ‎exercisable in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the Agents, at any time and from time to time, ‎for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the ‎Offered Securities.

Dentons Canada LLP is acting as legal counsel to EV Nickel and Bayline Capital Partners Inc. is acting as Capital Market Advisors to EV Nickel.

Each Offered Unit will consist of one Common Share (an "Offered Share") and ‎one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (an "Offered Warrant"). ‎Each Offered Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share ("Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $1.05 per Warrant Share at any time for a period of 24 months following the closing of the Offering (the "Closing"). Each Offered Unit will separate into Common Shares and Offered Warrants immediately upon Closing.

EV Nickel is a Canadian nickel exploration company, focussed on the Shaw Dome area, south of Timmins, Ontario (the "Shaw Dome"). The Shaw Dome is home to its Langmuir project which includes W4, the basis of a 2010 historical estimate of 677K tonnes @ 1% Ni, ~15M lbs of Class 1 Nickel (the "Langmuir Project"). EV Nickel's objective is to grow and advance a nickel business, targeting the growing demand for Class 1 Nickel, from the electric vehicle battery sector. EV Nickel has almost 9,100 hectares to explore across the Shaw Dome and has identified 30km of additional strike length.

The Company's technical report on the Langmuir Project filed on SEDAR on May 25, 2021, entitled "Independent NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Langmuir Nickel Project" (the "Technical Report") has been amended and refiled on November 16, 2021 in response to the review by the Ontario Securities Commission of the Company's preliminary prospectus. The revised Technical Report has an effective date of July 25, 2021 and report date of August 5, 2021. The disclosure in the Final Prospectus relating to the Langmuir Project is based on the revised Technical Report. Copies of the Final Prospectus and Technical Report are available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

The Offering is expected to close on or about November 25, 2021 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

Subject to fulfilling customary requirements, the TSXV conditionally approved the listing of the Common Shares (including the Offered Shares, FT Shares and the Warrant Shares) on the TSXV under the symbol "EVNI".
