CopAur Commences Geologic Mapping and Rock Geochemical
Field Program at Troy Canyon
Vancouver, British Columbia — December 15th, 2025 — Andrew Neale, CEO of CopAur Minerals Inc. (the
“Company”) (CPAU:TSXV) is pleased to report that the Company has engaged APEX Geoscience Ltd. of
Edmonton, AB to complete a field -based program of geologic mapping and surface rock geochemical
sampling at the 100% owned Troy Canyon property in Nevada.
The Troy Canyon gold-silver project is in the
Grant Range of eastern Nye County, NV,
approximately 150 km east of Tonopah. The
project consists of 59 contiguous unpatented
mineral claims covering 493 hectares. High-
grade gold mineralization occurs within
massive quartz veins, vein breccias and
narrower sheeted vein and stockwork zones
exposed for over 300 meters along the
contact between the limestone hanging wall
and the quartz monzonite footwall of the
Tertiary (23 Ma) Troy pluton.
The fall 2025 Troy Canyon exploration program is designed to follow -up on high grade gold -silver assays
returned during the Company’s prior sampling efforts. The new surface rock samples will be augmented
by detailed geologic mapping designed to advance the understanding of the structural and geologic
controls on mineralization preparatory to diamond drill hole planning.
Field crews are currently on the site at Troy Canyon, and initial geologic observations indicate mineralized
quartz vein and breccia localization preferentially along the intensely sheared contact of the Troy pluton,
and down plunge continuity possibly related to fold axis within the overlying Cambrian limestone and
shale units.
Highlights of CopAur prior rock sampling at Troy Canyon include1:
• 42.7 grams-per-tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 15 g/t Au, and 91 g/t silver (Ag) in outcrop of partially oxidized
silica-sulphide breccia at the historic Locke West and East Mine prospects.
• 37.7 g/t Au in oxidized quartz vein material sampled from historic waste dumps at the Locke East Mine
(Image 2).

• 7.68 g/t Au including 526 g/t Ag, in addition to 97.20 g/t Ag and 105 g/t Ag from mine dump material
coincident with a 1.2 km north-south trending greater than 10 ppb Au in soil anomaly along the western
Troy Canyon Claims along the historic Leadhill and Galena vein trends.
“The Troy Canyon property encompasses the past producing Locke Mine which operated in the late 1940s,
processing ore on a small scale , with gold grades reportedly in excess of 10 g rams/tonne2. This field
reconnaissance is designed to support a permitting program in 2026 that will allow the company to initiate
a diamond core drill program in late 2026 or early 2027.”, commented Andrew Neale.

About CopAur
CopAur is a mine development company focused on projects within the emerging, mineral -rich gold
mining regions of Nevada. The Company is backed by a dynamic and experienced team of resource
professionals advancing its projects in Nevada with the flagship project being Kinsley Mountain Gold
2 These grade estimates are empirical based on anecdotal reporting of historical tons of ore processed and ounces
of gold produced, are not NI 43-101 compliant, and cannot be verified or confirmed independently.
Project, a Carlin-style gold project located in the Kinsley Mountains in Eastern Nevada, approximately 80
km SSW of West Wendover.
