NEWS RELEASE
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 1 8, 2026 – District Copper Corp. (TSXV: DCOP) (OTC:
CAXPF) (“District Copper,” “District,” or the “Company”) further to the Company’s news release dated
September 14, 2026, the Company advises that the agreement to acquire mineral claim 1137534, a 368.4-
hectare property situated adjacent to the Copper Keg project area, was entered into with Jeff Poloni, an arm’s
length party. Additionally, the shares issued in connection with the acquisition has a deemed value of $0.095
per share.
About Copper Keg
The Copper Keg project comprises 23 claims totaling 6,525.83 hectares at the northern end of the Guichon
Creek batholith, the same intrusive complex that hosts every major porphyry copper deposit in the Highland
Valley district. The project benefits from excellent infrastructure with power, gas and rail access, located within
the Kamloops Mining Division, a few hours’ drive from the regional centre of Kelowna.
Historical exploration at Copper Keg dates back to the late 1800s . The BC Minister of Mines Annual Report
for 1898 documented a “spectacular gossan” several kilometres long, located approximately 9 kilometres from
Ashcroft, BC, describing “a large body of ore, carrying gold and silver, but principally copper,” where a 24 -
metre adit was driven into the mineralized zone. Despite this early recognition, subsequent exploration was
limited and superficial in nature, and the property has never been tested by modern diamond drilling.
District Copper has carried out four years of systematic exploration between 2021 and 2025, including DCIP
geophysics, high- sensitivity airborne magnetics and radiometrics , soil and rock geochemistry, detailed
geological mapping, and petrographic and whole rock geochemical studies. A comprehensive review of the
full data package was presented in the Company’s news release dated August 19, 2026, the first integrated
geological model relating these datasets to one another and explaining the rationale for the current DCIP
survey design.
The Company’s DCIP geophysical survey, conducted by Quantec Geoscience using its Titan DCIP system,
is scheduled to commence at the end of September, 2026, and is designed to delineate drill targets for the
property’s first-ever diamond drill program.
Resurgence of activity in the Highland Valley District
The Copper Keg project is located within one of Canada’s most active copper exploration and development
corridors. Teck Resources’ Highland Valley Copper operation, approximately 20 km to the south, is Canada’s
largest copper mine and received a $2.1-2.4 billion mine life extension approval to continue operations through
2046.[2] The Government of Canada has committed $50 million in conditional funding to upgrade BC Hydro’s
regional transmission system in support of the Highland Valley expansion.[3]
Getty Copper Inc. (TSXV: GTC), whose Getty project is located in the Highland Valley district directly between
Copper Keg and Teck’s operation, recently reported initial drill results from Getty South including 68.5 m of
0.81% Cu from 39.5 m depth and 184 m of 0.37% Cu, with mineralization extended 72 m below historical
intercepts and remaining open within a broader IP geophysical anomaly.[4]

British Columbia’s mineral exploration sector posted record spending of $751 million in 2025, with copper
overtaking gold as the province’s top exploration target for the first time on record.[6]

future performance, constitute “forward-looking statements.” Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by
such statements. All statements, other than historical fact, included herein, including, without limitation, statements
regarding the planned DCIP geophysical survey and its anticipated completion, the potential for a buried porphyry copper
system at depth, the Company’s plans to advance toward drill target definition and drill permitting, and the integration of
the newly acquired claim into the Company’s exploration model, are forward-looking statements that involve various risks
and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future
events could differ materially from those anticipa ted in such statements. Known risk factors include, among others: the
dimensions and shape of the chargeability anomaly may not be as interpreted; the alteration and styles of mineralization
may not be indicative of a porphyry copper system; the results of the DCIP survey may not support the current geological
interpretation; additional exploration programs may not be completed; uncertainties relating to the interpretation of
geophysical and geochemical data; the need to obtain additional financing; and uncertainty as to timely availability of
permits and other governmental approvals. A more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties facing District
Copper is disclosed in District Copper’s continuous disclosure filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities at
