CASCADE COPPER MOBILIZES DRILL
FOR MAIDEN PROGRAM AT THE CENTREFIRE COPPER-GOLD PROJECT
NEAR DRYDEN, NW ONTARIO
For Immediate Release
• Drill mobilization this week to start maiden program
• Minimum of 600 metres on Priority VMS targets
• Drive up drill sites reduces drilling cost
Vancouver, British Columbia – June 16, 2026. Cascade Copper Corp. (CSE: “CASC”/FRA: 91O) (“Cascade”
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has mobilized a drill crew for a maiden, minimum 600-metre
diamond drilling program at its Centrefire Copper-Gold Project, located 40 kilometres from Dryden, Ontario. The
contractor is expected to be drilling the first hole within a week of mobilization. Drilling at Centrefire will focus on
priority copper -gold Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) targets identified through inversion modelling of
geophysics, historic drilling, and sampling of surface mineralization. A recent Press Release on May 11, discusses
the priority drill targets.
"The arrival of the drill at Centrefire represents a landmark moment for Cascade Copper,
marking the Company's first drill program and the transition from project evaluation to
discovery," stated Jeffrey Ackert, President and CEO of Cascade Copper. "Our technical team
has completed extensive groundwork and modelling to define priority targets, and we are eager
to begin testing the Centrefire VMS system. This program is an important step in our strategy
to advance high -quality copper projects in Canada and create long -term value for our
shareholders. We look forward to reporting results as drilling advances."

The first drill hole will be set up adjacent to a forestry access road which means the drill can be unloaded on the
road and placed quickly and efficiently at the initial collar location. All holes planned in this campaign are within
a few tens of meters of the forestry road network , which means little or no disturbance to the environment, easy
access by the contractor and Cascade’s technical team, and perhaps more importantly – a low mobilization cost.
