## Resource

In this Company Update I sit down with Martin Turenne, President and CEO of FPX Nickel (TSX-V: FPX - OTCQB: FPOCF), to discuss the BC government’s designation of the Baptiste Nickel Project as a Major Priority Project. Located in central British Columbia, Baptiste is one of the world's largest undeveloped nickel deposits. Interview Highlights Strategic Priority Designation: Discover the significance of the BC government identifying the Baptiste Project as a Major Priority Project and what this means for the environmental assessment (EA) process. Streamlined Permitting Timelines: Learn how the Critical Minerals Office is working to shorten the typical 5-year permitting window, aiming for a more efficient four-year path to the Final Investment Decision (FID). Confidence from Strategic Investors: Insights into why major mining players, including the likes of Sumitomo Metal Mining, Stelco, and Outokumpu, are doubling down on BC’s mining jurisdiction. Global Exploration Alliance: An update on the generative alliance with JOGMEC, including promising new high-grade discoveries at the Advocate Project in Newfoundland. The Looming Nickel Deficit: Why supply curtailments in Indonesia and rising structural costs are creating a perfect storm for a significant nickel price breakout.
