Copper Lake Receives Exploration Permits FOR Marshall Lake Main Billiton Zone and Deeds Island Zone & Provides Corporate Update

Permits & Approvals

News Release No: 21-11

COPPER LAKE RECEIVES EXPLORATION PERMITS FOR

MARSHALL LAKE MAIN BILLITON ZONE AND DEEDS ISLAND ZONE

& PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

August 26, 2021 - Toronto, ON - Copper Lake Resources Ltd. (TSX -V: CPL, Frankfurt: W0I,

OTC: WTCZF) ("Copper Lake" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has been issued

mineral exploration permits by the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines

(“MNDM”) for its Marshall Lake copper-zinc-silver-gold property. The permits cover the Main

Billiton Zone and the Deeds Island and Marshall Creek Zone and have been issued for an initial

three-year term.

As part of the permit approval process, Copper Lake consults with the respective First Nations

communities when exploration takes place on their lands. On the Marshall Lake property, the

Company is working with Aroland First Nation and Animibiigoo Zaagi’igan Anishinaabek

(“AZA”) First Nation.

Copper Lake CEO, Te rry MacDonald stated : ‘ We extend our appreciation to Chief Dorothy

Towedo and the Council of Aroland and to Chief Theresa Nelson and the Council of AZA for their

ongoing assistance and cooperation with our exploration efforts, and in particular in facilita ting

the recent site visit to the Marshall Lake property with representatives of AZA. We look forward

to working with both Aroland and AZA in our upcoming drill program’.

Billiton Zone MT/DCIP Survey

The Company completed an integrated Magnetotelluric (MT )/Deep IP survey over the Billiton

deposit locale in mid-July. The goal of the surveys is to assist in mapping the configuration of the

Marshall Mineralized Band, containing the Billiton Zn-Cu-Ag massive sulphide deposit (historic

resource of 2.2 MT at 1.3% copper, 4.2% zinc & 2.5 opt Ag1), as well as several other base-metal

occurrences contained within it (Map 1). The MT/DCIP survey measures resistivity, an important

parameter givens its sensitivity to massive sulphides and hydrothermal alteration. MT technology

generates models of the subsurface resistivity in 2D & 3D at shallow depth and to depths of up to

1 km.

Preliminary results of the survey are anticipated shortly; the Company is confident that the survey

will generate several VMS drill targets on surface and at depth, in the Billiton deposit locale and

within the Marshall Mineralized Band.

Deeds Island Target

The Deeds Island target, located 6 km to the east of the Billiton deposit, comprises an 800- metre

long zinc anomaly containing zinc values of up to 1000 ppm. The geochemical anomaly is

5623510.2

coincident with a large zone of intense garnet-actinolite alteration within felsic volcanic rocks, an

alteration assemblage associated with sulphide mineralization at the Billiton deposit. Two airborne

VTEM conductors as well as a number of historic EM conductors are closely associated with the

target, adding further attraction to the area (Map 2). The Deeds Island target has not been tested

by previous diamond drilling.

Status of 2021 Drill Program

The Company intends to commence the drill program in early October, with an initial plan for

3,000 metres of drilling. The drilling will be primarily focused on the Billiton deposit locale in

addition to drilling select land- based targets on the highly prospective Deeds Island and Marshall

Creek Zone.

2021 Precious Metals Summit

The Company has been invited to attend the 2021 Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek,

Colorado from September 8 – 11, 2021. The Summit is a premier event that brings together the

community of institutional investors, sell- side representative s and corporate executives from

senior and junior precious metals companies to meet and network with some of the most

prospective producers, explorers and developers from around the globe.

Granting of Options

The Company has granted an aggregate of 3,050,000 Options to certain officers, directors and

consultants of the Company in accordance with the Company’s current Stock Option Plan. Each

Option is exercisable into one common share (a “Share”) of the Company at a price of $0.05 per

Share for a per iod of five years from the date of grant, being today. The options will vest

immediately.

Lake and Summit Lake properties, which are 100% owned by the Company and are not subject

to any royalties. The Solla s Lake property consists of 20 claim cells comprising an area of 4

5623510.2

square km on the east side of the Marshal `l Lake property where historical EM airborne

geophysical surveys have outlined strong conductors on the property hosted within the same

favorable felsic volcanic units. The Summit Lake property currently consists of 100 claim cells

comprising an area of 20.5 square km, is accessible year round, and is located immediately west

of the original Marshall Lake property.
