Super Copper Announces Bonanza-Grade

Gold Discovery at Castilla: Assays up to 53.8

g/t Gold and 17.7% Copper

Bonanza Gold Discovery:

Surface sampling headlined by

exceptional grades of 53.8 g/t

, among the highest reported in the Atacama region this year.

Exceptional Copper Grades:

Results include up to

17.7% Cu

, confirming the potential for a

high-grade sulfide system.

Significant Iron Values:

10 assays exceeding

50.0% Fe,

23 assays exceeding 10.0% Fe,

levels typically observed in IOCG systems.

Strong Grade Distribution:

25% of all assays

returned grades

exceeding 1.0 g/t Au

demonstrating property-scale mineralization rather than isolated anomalies.

VANCOUVER, BC

Jan. 15, 2026

/CNW/ - SUPER COPPER CORP. (CSE: CUPR) (OTCQB:

CUPPF) (FSE: N60) ("

Super Copper

" or the "

Company

"), is pleased to announce a high-grade

discovery from rock grab samples following the completion of its Phase 1 surface sampling program

at the

100%-owned Castilla Copper-Gold Project

, located in the prolific Atacama Region of

Chile

The sampling program

, which is comprised of mostly selective rock grab samples and floats,

has

identified a high-grade, multi-commodity mineral system characterized by bonanza-grade

gold (Au), exceptionally high copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) values, supporting the presence of a

large and robust mineralizing system.

Although the sampling was mostly selective rock grab and

float samples, and by nature represent a biased high population, the presence of a robust

mineralization system is supported by the fact that there are numerous samples from numerous

locations that have yielded greater than 1 gram per tonne (g/t) Au and 1 percent (%) Cu along with

significant alteration and pathfinder elements as shown in Tables 1 to 3, and on Figures 1 to 5.

"These results represent a defining discovery moment for Super Copper,"

said

Zachary Dolesky,

CEO

. "Grades of 53.8 g/t gold, 17.7% copper, and over 50.0% iron are exceptional on their own,

but what matters most is the consistency and scale emerging across the property. The combination

of gold, copper, iron and pathfinder elements points to a robust mineralizing system rather than a

single isolated occurrence. With multiple mineralized structures identified, Castilla is quickly

shaping up as a potential flagship asset in one of the world's premier copper-gold jurisdictions."

Discovery Highlights:

High-Grade Hit Rate:

24 of 93 samples (25%) returned gold grades over 1.0 g/t Au.

8 of 93 samples returned copper grades over 1.0% Cu, and 24 samples returned higher than

0.1% Cu.

10 of 93 samples returned iron grades over 50.0% Fe, and 23 samples returned iron grades

over 10.0% Fe.

Bonanza Gold:

53.8 g/t Au (Sample E02610). Quartz vein float from historical mine working.

15.9 g/t Au (Sample E02567). Quartz vein float from historical trench.

6.09 g/t Au (Sample E02521). Sheared/brecciated vein in old near vertical shaft.

Exceptional Copper:

17.7% Cu (Sample E02505). Float near excavation of magnetite vein breccia with malachite and

minor chrysocolla and azurite. Malachite infilling fractures and in breccia cement.

6.86% Cu (Sample E02525). Float near old mine working. Altered quartz diorite.

3.27% Cu (Sample E02506). Quartz vein hosted in quartz diorite with malachite and

chalcocite.

High Grade Iron Oxide Veins:

10 of 93 samples returned iron grades over 50.0% Fe, hosted in magnetite-, hematite-, and

specular hematite–rich veins and brecciated zones with quartz and minor copper sulphides

within diorite.

Strategic Location:

Situated in

Chile's

Atacama Region, host to multiple world-class copper-gold deposits and

established infrastructure.

Project Significance

The Castilla Project is located within a world-class copper-gold belt. Notably, the lack of direct

correlation between peak gold and peak copper values

suggests the presence of

multiple

mineralized structures

, rather than a single localized zone,

an important indicator of scale

Mineralization is consistent with IOCG style deposits

typically reported in the region with

possible superimposed events associated with gold bearing quartz veins. Extent and depth of these

veins remain to be determined.

Upcoming Exploration & Catalysts

Building on these results, Super Copper is accelerating exploration activities at Castilla:

Further property wide detailed sampling and mapping.

Property-Wide Magnetics and IP Survey:

Magnetics to map magnetite bearing zones such as

iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) veins, breccia zones and related skarns; Induced Polarization

geophysics to map sulfide concentrations and identify high-priority targets at depth.

Advanced Targeting:

Integration of

3D magnetic inversions

along with inversions of IP

chargeability and resistivity data to refine drill targeting and structural interpretation.

Drill Planning:

Results will be used to finalize Phase 2 drill locations.

QA/QC

All samples were submitted to ALS Group Chile with a preparation laboratory in Copiapo. Analysis

was carried out at ALS Global laboratories in

Peru

. Gold was determined by Fire Assay with an

AAS finish and Gravimetric finish for over-limits. Copper was analyzed via 4-acid digestion ME-MS61

with Cu-OG62 for overlimits. ALS is an accredited geoanalytical laboratory with rigorous QA/QC

program with the use of standards and blanks.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable

securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities,

events, or developments that the Company anticipates or expects may occur in the future are

forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements

regarding: the potential for a large, vertically extensive, multi-commodity mineral system at the

Castilla Project; the significance of gold, copper, antimony, and arsenic geochemical signatures; the

ability of induced polarization, magnetic inversion, and other geophysical surveys to identify IOCG or

sulfide-rich targets at depth; the Company's intention to accelerate exploration activities at Castilla;

and the expected use of current results to support Phase 2 drill planning.

Forward-looking statements are based on management's reasonable assumptions, estimates,

expectations, and beliefs as of the date of this news release, including assumptions regarding

geological interpretations, the reliability of surface sampling as an indicator of subsurface

mineralization, the availability of capital, the ability to obtain required permits or approvals, and the

continuation of current commodity prices and market conditions. However, such statements are

subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results,

performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied.

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: risks inherent in mineral exploration;

uncertainty in the interpretation of geological, geochemical, and geophysical data; the possibility that

surface sampling results may not be representative of subsurface mineralization; delays in

exploration programs; operational or logistical challenges; permitting and regulatory risks in

Chile

;

changes in exploration priorities or budgets; fluctuations in commodity prices; and general economic,

market, or geopolitical conditions.

Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect,"

"intend," "estimate," "plan," "may," "will," "potential," "target," and similar expressions. Although the

Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are

reasonable, no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct, and actual

results may differ materially.

Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise

forward-looking statements in this release as a result of new information, future events, or

otherwise. Investors are encouraged to review the risk factors described in the Company's public

filings before making any investment decisions.
