NORTHCLIFF ANNOUNCES GRANT OF EXTENSION TO CONSTRUCTION START FOR SISSON PROJECT & APPOINTMENT OF NEW BOARD CHAIR

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Northcliff Resources Ltd. ("Northcliff" or the "Company") (TSX: NCF) is pleased to announce that the Minister of the Department of Environment and Climate Change ("DECC") has approved a five year extension to the construction commencement timeline for the Sisson Tungsten-Molybdenum Project (the "Sisson Project") in New Brunswick, Canada.

"On behalf of Northcliff, I would like to thank the New Brunswick government for granting the five year extension to the construction commencement timeline. This extension provides Northcliff a runway to complete workstreams that will provide the necessary economic and technical information to support a construction decision," said Andrew Ing, Northcliff's CEO.

The Sisson Project received Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") approvals from the provincial and federal governments in 2015 and 2017, respectively, successfully completed the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulation Schedule 2 amendment ("MDMER") authorization process in July 2019, and the Sisson Fisheries Act Authorization application and Off-setting/Fish Habitat Compensation Plan process was completed, and a HADD Authorization under the Fisheries Act issued by the government of Canada in October 2020.

The Sisson Project hosts a significant deposit of the critical minerals, tungsten and molybdenum. The Company developed a detailed work program and is currently progressing with studies to advance the project through the pre-construction phase. 

In 2025, Northcliff received funding under critical minerals initiatives in the United States ("US") and Canada. In May, the US Department of Defense ("DoD") awarded the Company US$15 million (~C$20.7 million) under the Defense Production Act Title III program to expand tungsten's domestic capacity, sustainment of its critical production and address vulnerability in the Critical Minerals supply chain in the US and Canada (May 1, 2025 release). In August, final approval was received from Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") whereby NRCan will provide contribution funding for up to C$8.214 million in support of the costs for the update of the Feasibility Study and basic engineering through the Global Partnerships Initiative (August 7, 2025 release). The objectives of the work being funded by NRCan are to build on and complement the programs being supported by the US DoD.

Northcliff is also pleased to announce that Peter C. Mitchell has been appointed as Chairman of the Board of Northcliff, replacing Andrew Ing. Mr Ing. will continue as President and CEO and a Director of Northcliff, focusing on project execution and financing to advance the Sisson Project towards construction and production.

Previously, he held executive leadership positions in finance and operations with companies in the U.S. and Canada, including Coeur Mining, Inc., Taseko Mines Limited, Vatterott Education Centers, Von Hoffmann Corporation and Crown Packaging Ltd. Peter holds a BA in Economics from Western University and an MBA in Finance from the University of British Columbia. He is a US citizen based in Florida.
