up to 7.13% Cu; Geophysics Defines Large

Structurally Controlled System

Mineralized clusters occur across approximately

8 km of strike, supporting the interpretation

of a large structurally controlled copper system

at Cordillera Cobre.

New high-grade copper (Cu) discovery in previously undrilled northern project area returning up

7.13% Cu and 98.7 grams per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag)

from outcrop samples

Three distinct high-grade target areas confirmed at surface:

Northern Showing 7.13% Cu

Anima Mine Trend 6.92% Cu/1 meter (m)

Calcite Hill 3.40% Cu/1m

El Alto Trench:

17m @ 0.34% Cu including 2m @ 1.48% Cu

, confirming continuity and width

VANCOUVER, BC

March 19, 2026

/CNW/ -

SUPER COPPER CORP.

(CSE: CUPR) (OTCQB:

CUPPF) (FSE: N60) ("Super Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to report Phase 1 exploration

results from its flagship Cordillera Cobre Project, located in Chile's Atacama region. Cordillera Cobre

is one of two copper exploration assets held by the Company in the Atacama belt, alongside the

Castilla Project, which Super Copper acquired in 2025 and is advancing through early-stage

exploration.

Phase 1 represents its most significant field program to date: two new high-grade copper zones

discovered in a completely undrilled area, with excellent surface grades confirmed across three

distinct target areas, and structural controls on mineralization mapped across 800+ hectares via

ground magnetometry. The IP survey is now complete, with chargeability data being processed for

near term release.

Highlights

Two new high-grade copper zones discovered in the northern project area, returning up to

7.13% Cu

and

4.78% Cu

from rock grab samples of outcrop, in an area with no prior drill

testing

24 of 102 rock grab samples exceeded 1% copper

, with 10 samples returning greater than

3% Cu, demonstrating widespread high-grade mineralization across multiple target areas

Excellent surface grades confirmed at three distinct target areas:

Northern Showing:

7.13% Cu with 98.7 g/t Ag

(new discovery)

Anima Mine Trend:

6.92% Cu over 1 m

in chip samples

Calcite Hill:

3.40% Cu over 1 m

in chip samples

El Alto Historical Trench T-267A returned

17 m grading 0.34% Cu

, including

2 m at 1.48%

in chip samples, demonstrating continuity and width potential, and potentially indicative of a

structurally controlled system at depth

An IP survey is now complete across El Alto and Calcite Hill target areas; chargeability results

to be released imminently

Why These Results Matter

Super Copper's Phase 1 results at Cordillera Cobre include samples grading up to

7.13% Cu

across

multiple target areas, well above typical mine grades in the region.

The combination of high-grade copper exposed at surface, multiple mineralized zones, and structural

controls now defined by geophysics de-risks the path to targets and provides a technical foundation

for high-confidence drill target selection. These combined results indicate the potential for a larger,

structurally controlled copper system rather than isolated high-grade occurrences.

High-grade samples (magenta dots, 1.0–7.13% Cu) cluster in two geographically distinct

areas: the northern zone (La Rosas/Mariela and Cerro Dulcinea, hosting the new Northern Showing)

and the central zone (Calcite Hill / El Alto). The ~8 km separation between mineralized clusters,

combined with consistent NW-trending dyke and structural orientations (green lines), supports the

interpretation of a large-scale, structurally controlled copper system. Yellow outline shows 800+ ha

2025 Ground Magnetometry survey coverage. (CNW Group/Super Copper Corp.)

New High-Grade Results in the North

Phase 1 prospecting identified two previously unknown high-grade copper zones in the northern

portion of Cordillera Cobre,

an area not covered by historical drilling

. The newly designated

Northern Showing

returned

7.13% Cu with 98.7 g/t Ag

and 4.78% Cu in rock grab samples from

outcrop. Mineralization is hosted in breccias and veins within diorite (northernmost cluster) and

volcaniclastic rocks, and appears structurally controlled, with the two zones located approximately

1.5 kilometres apart (Figure 1).

The 1.5-kilometre separation between the two zones, combined with consistent structural

orientation, suggests these are not isolated occurrences but

surface expressions of a broader

mineralized system

, one that has received no drill testing to date. The Northern Showing is now a

priority target for follow-up work alongside El Alto and Calcite Hill.

Phase 1 Assay Results Summary

The program resulted in the collection of 102 rock samples from outcrops, trenches, and

underground workings. Results are summarized below in tables 1 and 2, sorted by grade:

Geophysics: Defining the Drill Targets

Ground magnetometry across 800+ hectares reveals a coherent set of northwest-trending structural

corridors controlling mineralization at both Calcite Hill and El Alto. Magnetic low anomalies, reflecting

magnetite destruction by hydrothermal fluids, a hallmark of Atacama copper systems, are spatially

coincident with the project's highest-grade surface samples (see Figure 2, Insets A and B).

The magnetometry data has now been integrated with an Induced Polarization (IP) survey across

both the El Alto and Calcite Hill target areas. IP chargeability results will be released in a subsequent

announcement. While magnetics define where the hydrothermal system was active, IP chargeability

pinpoints potential disseminated sulphide concentrations at depth, which will help convert structural

targets into high-confidence drillable targets.

The full dataset will advance the Company toward

its Phase 1 drill program, targeted for Q2 2026.

NW-trending structural corridors visible throughout the survey area provide clear vectors for drill

target definition. IP chargeability survey results, now complete, will be released in a subsequent

announcement. (CNW Group/Super Copper Corp.)

Zachary Dolesky, CEO of Super Copper

, stated:

"What Phase 1 has given us is a fundamentally

different company than six months ago. What began as a single historic target has evolved into

multiple high-priority copper zones across a large structurally controlled system. With high-grade

copper now confirmed at surface and geophysics defining drill targets, we are moving toward our

first drill program with the strongest target pipeline in the Company's history."

Technical Analysis

The Phase 1 campaign marks the Company's most comprehensive field program to date at

Cordillera Cobre, designed to validate historical drill results and generate new data across multiple

high-priority copper zones to support drill target definition.

All rock samples were submitted to ALS Laboratories in Chile for geochemical analysis. The

geophysical survey was carried out by Argali Geophysics. These results form the foundation for

Super Copper's next phase of target definition, with Phase 1 drilling targeted for Q2 2026.
