Coppernico Channel Samples 52 m of 1.06% Copper at
Sombrero in Peru
Vancouver, Canada – September 4, 2025 – Coppernico Metals Inc. (TSX: COPR, OTCQB: CPPMF, FSE: 9I3)
(“Coppernico” or the “Company”), through its wholly owned Peruvian subsidiary, Sombrero Minerales SAC,
is pleased to announce initial surface channel sampling results from the Nioc target area at its flagship
Sombrero copper-gold Project in Peru (Figure 1), including 52 metres (“m”) of 1.06% copper (“Cu”), 0.19
g/t gold (“Au”) and 1.20 g/t silver (“Ag”), and 36 m of 1.10% Cu, 0.32 g/t Au and 3.44 g/t Ag. These results
provide an initial view of the high-grade copper-gold mineralization at Nioc and highlight the potential
scale of a second major skarn system within the Project, with a continued record of incident-free exploration
since inception.
The Company further notes that Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO, will present at the upcoming Precious Metals
Summit Beaver Creek Conference on Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., followed by a series of
additional conferences through early 2026, providing opportunities for investors to meet directly with
management.
Highlights:
• Zone 1:
o 25SRT029: 52 m of 1.06% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au, and 1.20 g/t Ag
o 25SRT030: 40 m of 0.96% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au, and 0.96 g/t Ag
o 25SRT032: 93.5 m of 0.87% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au, and 0.60 g/t Ag
• Zone 2:
o 25SRT040: 32 m of 0.59% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au, and 1.44 g/t Ag
o 25SRT042: 36 m of 1.10% Cu, 0.32 g/t Au, and 3.44 g/t Ag
o 25SRT043: 26 m of 0.99% Cu, 0.40 g/t Au, and 3.11 g/t Ag
True widths currently unknown, results are summarized in Table 1. These are composites of the
entire channel sample length, no portion of the channel was excluded.
• Mineralization remains open, with limits in all directions not yet defined. Similarly, the structural
control on mineralization is yet to be assessed.
• These channel samples directly overlie a large 1.8 km x 1.4 km chargeability anomaly1, suggesting
continued sulphide mineralization at depth.
Mr. Bebek commented, “Sombrero is unique both in its large scale and grade and represents numerous
tier one exploration opportunities as we continue to receive new impressive results across multiple targets
within our significant claim holdings. The results announced today were limited only to hard rock -

outcropping rocks and the channel samples are open for considerable expansion over the multi square
kilometer underlaying geophysical footprint.
These positive results not only significantly benefit our targeting and increase opportunities for discovery,
but they also validate our ongoing community relations activities which are planned to include additional
agricultural and employment opportunities.
As we advance our pending permits, we are developing a pipeline of tier one copper-gold skarn exploration
targets. We are looking forward to providing updates on permit and additional partnership with the
communities in the region in the near term.”

Nioc Channel Sampling
The channel samples were collected across bodies of skarn -altered rock outcropping on surface. They
represent the first systematic sampling completed by Coppernico within the Nioc target area , one of
multiple mineralized centers within a broadly distributed skarn environment.
Coppernico geologists focused sampling on two zones of outcropping garnet and magnetite skarn (Figures
2 and 3), which carry visible copper oxides and trace sulphides, such features being directly comparable to

mineralization observed at the Fierrazo target within the Ccascabamba target area located directly to the
south.
The channel sampling program has reported multiple zones of copper-gold mineralization with yet to be
defined limits , establishing Nioc as a compelling target for follow -up exploration. Significantly, these
mineralized zones overlay a large (1. 8 km by 1.4 km) chargeability anomaly (>20 mV/V), that has been
modeled to at least 500 m below surface (see news release dated January 17, 2020, issued by predecessor
Auryn Resources, now Fury Gold Mines ), suggesting potential for broad areas of sulphide minerali zation
present at depth (Figures 1 and 2). This chargeability target itself is situated within a broader area of
discontinuously mapped skarn alteration over an area of approximately 2 km by 3 km.

Length and density weighted assay composites. True thickness is unknown, the highlighted channels are oriented generally
perpendicular to rock outcrop and are considered most representative at time of reporting. Reported composites are for the
entire length of each channel, no sample/interval was excluded from the composite calculation. No more than 6 m internal
dilution (reported values below 0.2% Cu). Minimum reporting length of 6 m.

Representative samples include: 25STR-043 (G691308): Garnet–magnetite skarn with chrysocolla filling
open spaces, grading 2.81% Cu, 1.19 g/t Au, 2.24 g/t Ag; and Y209449: Magnetite skarn with silicification,
pyrite, chalcopyrite, and chrysocolla filling open spaces, grading 3.1% Cu, 0.55 g/t Au, 8.7 g/t Ag.
Sampling Protocols: The composites include 100% of samples collected in each channel, no samples were
excluded. The lowest grade sample collected was 0.1% Cu with the highest being 5% Cu. Channel samples
were collected from discontinuous outcrops across areas approximately 100 m long and 20 –50 m wide.
Sampling was conducted where outcrop exposure allowed, with channels oriented to maximize continuity.
Due to limited exposure and unknown mineralization geometry, not all channels are perpendicular to the
outcrop. Channel sample spacing ranges from 5m to 20m a part. Nearly every channel started or ended
elevated Cu grades . The scale of mineralization on surface has yet to be defined. Additional channel
sampling and mapping will be required to better define the orientation and extent of mineralization.
Tim Kingsley, VP Exploration, commented, “These maiden results from Nioc are further validation of the
thesis of extensive district-scale mineralization at Sombrero. With high-grade copper values directly above
a large chargeability footprint, Nioc is shaping up to be a major target area alongside the adjacent
Ccascabamba target area. The mineralization on surface at Nioc has similarities to that observed at Fierrazo,
where historical drilling has already demonstrated continuity in the third dimension. This work at Nioc
COPPERNICOMETALS.COM
TSX: COPR | OTCQB: CPPMF | FSE: 9I3 7
represents part of our ongoing efforts to advance a pipeline of large scale and high priority targets aiming
to realize the full potential of the Sombrero Project.”
Next Steps
Coppernico plans to expand surface exploration work at Nioc, including additional detailed mapping and
channel sampling to further refine the geometry, scale, and continuity of mineralization and associated
structures. These efforts will guide future drill targeting , which the Company intends to commence at the
earliest opportunity once a community agreement is achieved, to support the broader exploration strategy
across the Sombrero Project.

Technical Disclosure and Qualified Person
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release was reviewed and approved by Tim
Kingsley, M.Sc., CPG, Coppernico’s VP of Exploration, who is a “Qualified Person” (as defined in NI 43-101).
Quality Control
Analytical samples were taken by chisel and hammer in continuous horizontal lines, typically samples were
composited over up to 2 metre lengths per sample, however this may be reduced to 0.5 metres where
lithological or significant mineralogical changes were observed in order to accurately reflect the apparent
width of mineralisation. Typical sample weights were 1 kg per metre. Samples were collected in plastic bags
and given a unique reference number. Approximately 2 -3 kg of material per sample was collect ed for
analysis and sent to the ALS Lab in Lima, Peru for preparation and analysis. Preparation included crushing
the sample to 90% < 2mm and pulverizing 1,000 g of crushed material to better than 95% < 106 microns. All
samples are assayed using 30 g nomin al weight fire assay with atomic absorption finish (Au -AA23) and
multi-element using four acid digest ICP-AES/ICP-MS method (ME-MS61). Where MS61 results were greater

or near 10,000 ppm Cu, or 10,000 ppm Zn the assays were repeated with ore grade four acid digest method
(Cu-OG62). QA/QC programs for 2025 channel samples using internal standard samples, blanks, and
duplicates, lab duplicates, lab standards, and lab blanks indicate good overall accuracy and precision.
