Coyote Copper Mines Inc. Begins Exploration
Work on New Sulphide Copper Zone
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 16, 2026) - Coyote Copper Mines Inc. (TSXV: CCMM) (the
"Corporation") is pleased to announce that it has begun work on a newly discovered zone, with exposed
copper sulphide mineralization and magmatic breccias within the Copper Triangle of Arizona.
Channel
samples are being cut with a Diamond Saw and dispatched to American Assayers Laboratories in
Sparks, Nevada for Analysis.
As outlined in CCMM's April 9, 2026 press release, the Corporation has now initiated a multi-
disciplinary exploration program across the project area.
Current program components
Hyperspectral and satellite surveys
Drone magnetic surveys
MT and 3D IP geophysical surveys
Relogging of historical drill core
Soil sampling
Mapping, logging, and chip sampling
Channel sampling
Drill permitting
Recent field efforts have led to the identification of a new mineralized zone, which includes a breccia
pipe referred to as the Maher Breccia. The broader zone remains under active evaluation, with current
project mapping indicating a strike length of more than 4 km and a width exceeding 600 m.
Dan Weir commented:
"The 96 historical drill holes and the historical resource at the Copper
Springs Project were largely focused on oxide and transition-zone copper mineralization. Finding
sulphide copper and molybdenum mineralization at surface, rather than at depths of roughly 1,200 m
like the Resolution deposit, is a game changer for us. This new zone has already attracted the
attention of larger companies."

CCMM's project area covers more than 58 km². Current mapping indicates the new zone
extends for over 4 km and is more than 600 m wide.
