A PoP has two components: a <strong>Surface Use Determination<\/strong> and a <strong>NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) evaluation<\/strong>. In the first exploration program, Homeland will drill sonic holes to determine average depth to bedrock or nickel laterite thickness to a maximum of 50 feet. In the second, approximately <strong>10% of the original exploration work<\/strong> will be redrilled \u2014 work required to update historical nickel resources to <strong>NI 43-101 format<\/strong> ahead of a feasibility study planned for 2027. The Surface Use Determination has been approved for Cleopatra and is under review for Red Flat.<\/p>\n\n    <blockquote>\n      <p>&#8220;We are making good progress with our permits, and are planning to be in the field this summer exploring at Cleopatra and Red Flat. The road into Red Flat has been significantly upgraded because of timber logging in the area. The road into Cleopatra is still an issue and we are considering using a smaller drilling platform to avoid having to implement a helicopter-supported operation.&#8221;<\/p>\n      <cite>\u2014 Stephen Balch, President &amp; CEO, Homeland Nickel<\/cite>\n    <\/blockquote>\n\n    <!-- Contact -->\n    <div class=\"pr-section\">\n      <h3>For Further Information<\/h3>\n      <div class=\"pr-contact-card\">\n        <p>\n          <strong>Stephen Balch, President &amp; CEO<\/strong><br \/>\n          \ud83d\udcde <a href=\"tel:9054079586\">905-407-9586<\/a><br \/>\n          \u2709\ufe0f <a href=\"mailto:steve@beci.ca\">steve@beci.ca<\/a>\n        <\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- Qualified Person -->\n    <div class=\"pr-section\">\n      <h3>Qualified Person<\/h3>\n      <p>Stephen J.
