Coppernico Metals Inc. reports the remaining assay results from its Phase 1 drill program at the Sombrero Project in Peru. The program included 8,232.9 meters of diamond drilling over 20 holes, confirming broad intervals of copper-gold mineralization supporting the skarn-porphyry geological model. Drilling is paused for expanded permits.

Phase 1 Drill Program Highlights include notable intercepts in drill holes 6-20, defining a large system with intrusive igneous rock architecture and robust skarn alteration. Alteration zones exceeding 300 meters in width have been defined, with high-priority targets beyond current permits identified for future drilling.

Geological and geochemical results from the Phase 1 drill program demonstrate continuity of copper-gold mineralization across broad intervals and multiple zones. Prospective contact zones between intrusive rocks and limestone show strong exploration potential, supporting the decision to advance an expanded permit application. Regional exploration programs are also underway.

Drill holes 6 through 20 confirm the presence of an extensive, high-temperature copper-gold skarn system in the Ccascabamba target area. Broad intervals of copper anomalism have been encountered at Hojota, indicating high-temperature mineralization proximal to causative intrusions. Results suggest significant vertical and lateral continuity of the mineralization.

Coppernico continues to expand its regional target pipeline with promising results from the Nioc, Tipicancha, Macha Machay, and Cello target areas. The Company is actively advancing its permitting efforts to access high-priority targets located beyond the current drill permit boundaries. Technical disclosure and quality control measures have been implemented to ensure accurate results and analysis.
