1999 float sample 127613 which returned 5.74 grams per ton ("
g/t
") gold ("
Au
"), 1,710 g/t silver ("
Ag
") and 22.2%
copper ("
Cu
") ³ east of the known Tiger mineral occurrence; and
1999 grab sample 127679 which returned 1.68 g/t Au, 228 g/t Ag, 3.83% Cu, 0.10% lead ("
Pb
") and 0.43% zinc ("
Zn
")
³ south of the known
Red Zone
mineral occurrence; and
1974 chip samples returned 1.4% Cu and 41 g/t Ag over 0.55 meters⁴ from trench 1 at the Jolly Molly mineral
occurrence; and

Adam Travis Coast Copper CEO comments
:
"We are pleased to have increased the size of our Sully Property in the
historic Sullivan Mining Camp as it is prospective for both Sullivan-style massive sulphides and also copper, gold and
molybdenum porphyries associated with Cretaceous aged monzonite and syenite intrusions. Before PJX made their
discovery of Sullivan-style mineralization on claims adjacent to ours, they also noted significant, intrusion related gold,
copper and silver mineralization with values up to 15.59 g/t Au, 1.11% Cu and 721 g/t Ag (see PJX news release dated
November 15, 2022
) ¹ ² ⁵. Consequently, Coast Copper has acquired similar syenite intrusions on the geological trend to
PJX's property. While we remain focused on our Empire Mine property, we continue to complete strategic mineral
property acquisitions in areas of interest. We look forward to completing our first field program at Sully in the coming
weeks and following up on our new geological understanding of the area."
