North Atlantic Titanium Applies for Drilling Permits for Three-Year Program at Quebec's Everett Project

North Atlantic Titanium Corp. (CSE: NATO) (OTCQB: NATQ.F) (FSE: Y33) has submitted applications for drilling permits for its diamond drill program at the Everett Titanium-Vanadium-Phosphate project near Havre-Saint-Pierre, Quebec, the company announced July 14, 2026. The company holds the 2,406-hectare Everett property under option from Romaine River Titanium Inc.

The company received confirmation from its Quebec environmental consultants that the PAF (Permit for forestry activities) and ATI (Permit for Work with Impact) for the drilling campaign have been fully filed. The drilling program focuses on confirming historical 1951 and 1968 diamond drilling in the northern area of the exposed Everett Oxide Body. The plan includes approximately 25,000 meters across 20 drill pads, to be completed within three years.

Forest impacts are minimal because the company plans to mostly brush out historical drill trails for access. The work will provide access to both the north and south areas of the 2.5-kilometer-long exposure of the Everett Oxide Body. Diamond drilling will proceed in success-contingent stages to test the northern area, leading to a mineral resource estimate. Drilling depths are expected to be less than 350 meters, as described in the ATI application.

Dwayne Yaretz, CEO of North Atlantic Titanium, stated that metallurgical results from ongoing Elements08 testing reinforce the company's strategy to advance a secure domestic critical minerals processing supply chain in Canada, supporting defense readiness and reshoring Western titanium metal production. He noted that work under this ATI permit application will define the technical program and follow-up drilling for the next 18 to 24 months.

On March 31, 2026, the company joined Romaine River in collaboration with the Centre technologique des residus industriels, Impact Global Solutions, and Corem in support of metallurgical testing at the Everett project. The program is managed by the Elements08 Strategic Metals Excellence Centre, partly funded by the Government of Quebec.

North Atlantic Titanium Corp. is focused on developing the Everett titanium-vanadium project in Quebec, targeting high-quality titanium feedstocks with potential vanadium and phosphate coproducts. The company also holds a 100-percent interest in the Sleeping Giant South project in the Abitibi greenstone belt.
