TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / August 31, 2026 /Canadian North Resources Inc. (“Canadian North” or the “Company”) (TSXV:CNRI)(OTCQX:CNRSF)(FSE:EO0 (E-O-zero)) reports its operational and financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Dr. Kaihui Yang, President and CEO of the Company, commented: “In past six months, we have planned further evaluation of bio-metallurgical technologies to produce market-ready battery-grade nickel and cobalt compounds, copper and platinum-group metals (PGE) from a low-cost, low-carbon footprint mine for the Ferguson Lake project.”
“The plan is based on the results from the expanded bioleaching programs completed in 2025. The new tests confirmed high metal extraction of copper (87.7-90.6%
), nickel (96.8-99.0%
) and cobalt (96.9-99.3%
) and PGEs (>80%
) at low temperatures that would not require external heat energy and addition of acid (refer to Canadian North’s News Release on October 7, 2025). Such a self-sustaining bioleaching system, when optimized, can significantly simplify the previously proposed poly-metallurgical processes for the Ferguson Lake Project.”
“Canadian North plans at Ferguson Lake to collect large bulk surface mineralized samples for further bio-metallurgical testing, and to conduct exploration and definition drilling programs and engineering and environmental studies.”
“The Company is actively communicating with investors and shareholders to raise funds for exploration, geotechnical, metallurgical and environmental programs to support the prefeasibility evaluation of the Ferguson Lake Project; and continues its engagement with the governmental agencies and local communities to update and upgrade permissions, permits and licenses required to advance project development.”
First Six-Month of 2026 Highlights:
The Company also engaged in the following activities in the first half year:
-
On April 15, 2026, the Company announced that it had elected to rely upon Coordinated Blanket Order 51 – 933 Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers (“CBO 51-933”) and adopt semi-annual financial reporting. This news release is being filed pursuant to CBO 51-933.

nickel, 98%
cobalt and 90.6%
copper in the follow-up second set of lab-scale bioleaching tests on massive sulphides; recovered more than 80%
of palladium and gold from the residues of the bioleaching tests. All base metals were extracted from each bioleaching tests at low temperatures of 52 – 65oC without the addition of acid and external heat.
