I'm your host, Rich, here on behalf of RichTV Live with a very special guest, CEO of Flying Nickel Mining, John Lee. How are you doing today, John? Doing fine, good afternoon, Rich. Good afternoon, great to see you again. John, can you tell us how you got involved with Flying Nickel Mining and why you believe it's one of the premium Nickel PGM platinum group metal plays in Canada? Right, Rich. I have been around the mining industry for 20, 22 years and before that I was in the Silicon Valley and I spent first 10 years as an investor like yourself. And then in my, I've always been very fond of Nickel. So I am probably one of the most active Nickel Jr. mining CEOs out there in acquisitions and in merchants acquisitions. However, I was around seven years early in the Nickel scene before the advent of electric vehicles. In 2019, the opportunity came about to acquire what I believe is the number one Nickel project in Canada and the opportunity to open up, I raised to 11 million dollars, US dollars, and we acquired the project in 2021. Fly Nickel then ITL in 2022 with a bang. As Nickel went from 10 dollars to 50 dollars a pound in March of 2022. So that's how I got started. I'm the founder and CEO of Fly Nickel. Now we love Nickel here. And like you mentioned, Nickel is one of the key elements in electric vehicles. So we love metals and we love electric vehicles here at Rich TV Live. Can you tell us a little bit about the history of the Thompson Nickel Belt in Canada and how advanced is the Flying Nickel Mining project? The Thompson Nickel Belt is the second largest Nickel camp in North America. It's actually ahead of Voices Bay, just behind Sudbury with five billion pounds of historical production. And which is very important to distinguish the difference between Nickel sulphide versus Nickel laterite, which is produced mainly in Philippines and Indonesia. These are notoriously very polluted with coal-fired power plants that require high pressurization of the treatment of the processing and the tailings are dumping to the ocean with very heavy acids. So the Nickel produced in North America are a lot more environmentally friendly. That would not require a high acid in its or high pressurization or high temperature in its processing method. And Minago is the name of the project. It's right in the middle or to the south of the Thompson Nickel Belt. It was discovered in the late 80s and the overtime had over 45 million spent on it and over 86,000 meters of drilling. So it's one of the very few, very advanced staged Nickel project in Canada. Wow, sounds fantastic. And with 2023 just getting started, what are the top three things investors should keep an eye out for with flying Nickel mining? Yeah, Rich, we talked about other metals before, but I think for Nickel, besides the fact that it's Nickel sulphide, also that Minago is in one of the very few a peer group that boasts a billion pounds of Nickel in the ground and from the 85,000 meter drilling. The grade as of today is exceptional at 0.7% open pit. And Rich, 2005, open pit Nickel sulphide grades were about 0.7, so Minago is average. But because the lack of exploration and the discoveries in the Nickel sulphide space, today's open pit Nickel mine head grays are 0.4. And expert predict by 2029, just six years from now, that grade is going to drop to 0.25. So that's going to make Minago from a very special group to an exceptionally rare group of having an open pit optimized project next to highway, next to infrastructure with access to power and water readily available. So we envision CapEx to be under a billion dollars and this will turn out to be one of the greenest and one of the quickest to market Nickel project in Canada. And given Manitoba where it's at 99% hydro power, this project could potentially be one of the greenest Nickel mines in the world, Rich. Wow, that's impressive. But now with 97 drill hole assay results coming for flying Nickel, can you let investors know what that means and what they should be looking for in the results? I know, you know, the storage just keeps getting better even though the company's trading at one-tenth of the IPO valuation and at a fraction of the investment that had gone into the project. When we raised a $7 million as a part of the IPO in early 2022, part of the mandate was to start around a drilling, which we did. And we thought this is a Nickel mine, but we drilled, we intercepted very good Nickel grays, 7.7% to 1% over 50 to 100 meters. But we also discovered platinum palladium. So I was a little bit surprised. I said, wait a second, where is this coming from? There was never every reference in the technical report. And then we dig into the archive of the historical drilling. It turned out that only 20% of the past drill holes had been assayed for PGM. And the grays are very consistent and correlate very closely to the Nickel grays. So you're looking at 0.5 grams to one gram on average, but you're looking at a deposit for 50 million tons, you're looking at close to a million ounces from just back to the envelope analysis. So it's like, holy cow, if only 20, so what we should do is we should put everything aside and go back, so we spent two, three months analyzing, go back to the core shot. It's a very convoluted, it's a very long access, three months of just digging in the core shack and modeling. So we've selected 97 drill holes out of around 250 to reassay for PGM with the objective of coming up with a PGM resource. And if so, I think that's gonna add not only more value to the ground, it has the value of the deposit in terms of metals contained in the ground, but more importantly, it's gonna enhance the economics of the deposit because that PGM is really gonna add additional layer of cash flow to the future operation of the mine and not to mention additional appeal because PGM, as you know, these are out of catalysts, additional angle for those people who are looking for energy metals and looking for the green metals in the energy space, Rich. Now, John, we love understanding the share structure of a company. How many shares is there for flying nickel mining? And do you need to raise any money in the near future or do you feel that you have enough cash on hand to be able to get the goals you want accomplished for 2023? Rich, I just wanna go back for a minute. The investor can expect to receive continuous rolling PGM results. 97 drill holes represent around 7,000 meters of drilling. So that's a lot of assets to come out. So we're not gonna be short of news releases. We'd expect the first one to access to come up, probably in the March timeframe and be on a rolling basis until and then at the conclusion of that drill program, the objective has come up with a PGM resource next to the nickel. Now, the company IPO to raise, I think it was $8.6 million. We have two strategic investors. One is Blackstone Minerals and they're from Australia. They're a nickel miner and the other one is from Germany. So we have very loyal institution support. We got about just under a million dollar, but however, we don't have any sort of heavy expenditures outside of the asset drill program. Should the need for us to raise money, I believe like we have a very loyal and an institution shareholders that we're able to finance us till for the later part of the year, but right now we are well capitalized for the asset of the PGM program. And how many shares is your note standing right now? Right, we are 62 million shares outstanding and great share structure institutions, insiders, management control, I think just over 40% of the project. So this share structure and the shareholder support is as strong as you can get. And John, is there anything else you would want shareholders to know about flying nickel mining? Pick the right metal. If you're into base metal, energy metals, nickel bar none is the best way to go. You know, there's a lot of, there's a lot of uncertainties in the market in terms of growth of the economy. So I'm not as bullish on copper as I once was. And even uranium, it's going to cost you billions of dollars to build a plan that's going to take about 10 years. And when Elon Musk, 2007 or 2018, 17, 18 cents minus much nickel responsibly would give you a big back contract. And look at Tesla. It is not the number one luxury selling vehicle, passenger vehicle in the United States. And they've just dropped the pricing of their entire line of vehicles by up to 20% to continue the federal credit. So now they're not only going after, they're not going to mass market their cars and to take the number one spot for overall passenger cars in North America period, not just for luxury cars. And guess what will happen if Elon does that? Well, the number of cars they sell is going to increase so with the amount of nickel. And nickel, there's absolutely no question I would be safe emphatically that given the number of the last few years, nickel batteries being standardized as the high, as the batteries technology for high standard performance batteries. How do we know that? Well, some of the world's largest auto and battery manufacturers are talking to us in order to supply their nickel demand from 2027 to 2032. So that is a very strong indicator of that the technology is here to come. So if you wanna, if you wanna, if you wanna write the common denominator of all the EV space, nickel is the way to come. And I cannot think of a better compliment to your existing precious nettles portfolio. I love it and I love nickel. I want everyone to put their attention to flying nickel mining symbol in Canada, F-L-Y-N, symbol in America, F-L-Y-N-F. I must remind you that Rich TV Live is strictly for information and education purposes. Please do your due diligence, do your research before you invest in anything we talk about or discuss. In saying that, I do believe this is a company that is undervalued, under-appreciated and under-exposed. As John Lee mentioned, nickel is one of the key elements in electric vehicles and there is literally a shortage of nickel needed for all the electric vehicles that this world wants and needs. We know that- Green nickel, yes. Correct. We know that there's a mandate for 2030 to go fully electric in Canada. We know that China has the same mandate for 2030. I know that countries like Norway want to go fully electric by 2030. So in order for that to happen, nickel is going to be very, very much in need. So thank you so much for joining us today and explaining flying nickel mining. The CEO, John Lee, thank you for joining us today, John. Rich, 60 million shares outstanding at 20 cents.
