NORTHCLIFF OBTAINS EX PARTE INJUNCTION TO STOP INTERFERENCE WITH SISSON PROJECT FIELDWORK AND DRILLING PROGRAM

VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 24, 2023 /CNW/ - Northcliff Resources Ltd. ("Northcliff" or the "Company") (TSX: NCF) today announced that Northcliff and Sisson Project Limited Partnership ("Sisson LP") obtained an ex parte injunction Order from the Court of King's Bench in New Brunswick on August 23, 2023 against two (2) known individuals, and against other persons unknown, who have interfered with and obstructed the 2023 fieldwork and drilling program that is required for the Sisson Project to move forward. The ex parte injunction Order is effective until 11:59 pm on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, but Northcliff and Sisson LP are scheduled to re-appear in court at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, at which time they will be seeking an extension of the injunction Order.

On August 3, 2023, individuals interfered with and obstructed Sisson LP's ability to continue with its fieldwork and drilling program on the Sisson Project, located in the Province of New Brunswick. Rather than get into a potentially dangerous altercation with these individuals, Sisson LP's contractors retreated, and Northcliff and Sisson LP prepared ex parte motion materials as soon as they could in order that they could seek court assistance, including by way of injunctive relief. Given the timeframes for the 2023 fieldwork and drilling program, the Company and Sisson LP had no practical options, other than to seek injunctive relief at this time, in order that they are in the best position to continue with the required fieldwork and drilling program on the Sisson Project, and to comply with the conditions associated with the Company's Environmental Impact Assessment Report, which has been approved by both the Federal Government and by the Government of New Brunswick.

On August 24, 2023, certain individuals who had interfered with and obstructed the Sisson Project on August 3, 2023 were served with the ex parte injunction motion materials and the ex parte injunction Order such that they are now aware of the court proceedings, as well as the next hearing date on August 29, 2023, at which time Northcliff and Sisson LP will seek an extension of the injunction.
