DISTRICT ANNOUNCES FALL FIELD PROGRAM AT THE COPPER KEG PROJECT,
KAMLOOPS MINING DISTRICT
October 13, 2021 – District Copper Corp. (“District Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX -Venture: DCOP)
is pleased to announce plans for a Fall field program on the Company’s Copper Keg project, located in the
Kamloops Mining District, central BC. The program will consist of an Induced Polarization survey over
the main Cu-porphyry target area on the property.
The Induced Polarization (IP) Survey will include approximately 23 line -kilometres. The survey is
designed to provide coverage to depths in the order of 600-800 metres, which interpretation of historic data
has indicated to be the primary exploration target . Quantec Geoscience Ltd of Toronto, ON has been
contracted to carry out the survey, using its Titan 130 DCIP system. Work is expected to commence in the
first week of October 2021.
In addition, the Company is pleased to report that a one-week mapping program was completed on the
property during the Summer of 2021. The objectives were to develop baseline whole rock geochemistry of
the lithologies present on the property, and to determine whether any significant trends in alteration and/or
geochemistry exist on the property. Within the Nicola Group volcanics, five distinct units were identified
during the mapping program. This is consistent with earlier regional mapping by Government geologists.
The Guichon Batholith, which intrudes the Nicola volcanics, was observed to outcrop along the
northeastern part of the claims in typically large, blocky, high -relief cliff faces. Tertiary Kamloops group
basalts occupy the high relief plateaus in the southern portion of the claims. The Barnes Creek fault was
observed to generally follow the trend of the intrusive contact between the Nicola Group volcanics and the
Guichon Creek batholith.
Ten grab samples were collected for whole rock analysis at ALS in North Vancouver, BC, using their ICP-
AES whole rock package. In addition, the samples were analyzed by ALS’s 48 element four acid ICP-MS
package. The samples were selected to characterize the whole rock geochemistry of the lithologies present
on the property, and to determine any notable trends in alteration and/or geochemistry. Although the
samples were not selected as potentially mineralized sites, the copper values ranged from 4.9 to 124.5 ppm
and zinc values from 8.0 to 235 ppm.
District Copper President & CEO, Jevin Werbes comments, “ We are pleased to finally be getting work
underway at the Copper Keg project. Having used Quantec in the past and being very familiar with the top-
quality work they perform, we are very confident this will take us to the next ste ps of exploration and will
outline some compelling drill targets.”

About the Copper Keg Property:
District Copper can acquire a 100% right, title and interest in and to the Property for an aggregate payment
of $105,000, the issuance of 7,500,000 fully paid and non -assessable shares and expenditures of no less
than $200,000 on the property (see Company release dated February 9, 2021 for details ). The agreement
has been accepted for filing by the TSX Venture Exchange.
The property is underlain by Kamloops sediments, Nicola Group volcanics and intrusive phases of the
Guichon Creek Batholith. These rocks have been intruded by several phases of late-stage quartz feldspar
porphyry and mafic dikes. The Nicola Group volcanics are reported to be in fault contact with the Guichon
Creek batholith, although there are indications from historic assessment reports that an intrusive contact is
also a possibility.
The central portion of the Guichon Creek Batholith hosts the large porphyry copper deposit located in the
Highland Valley currently being mined by Teck Resources Limited. This property is located at the northern
boundary of the Guichon Creek batholith, and District intends to explore the property using the porphyry
style copper deposits in the Highland Valley as its exploration model.
The property was explored intermittently between 1970 and 2012 . The exploration work was mostly
repetitive and sporadic in nature restricted to limited outcrop sampling, small scale soil sampling and
geophysical surveys, mapping and prospecting focused mainly on two large zones of clay alteration.
Several short diamond drill holes are reported to have been completed for which results are not available.
A preliminary interpretation of historic assessment data is indicative of the surface footprint of a buried
porphyry copper system. The combination of Nicola Group volcanics and intrusive phases of the Guichon
Creek Batholith intruded by late multi-phase dikes along with sporadic geochemical anomalies,
hydrothermal clay alteration and primary and secondary copper mineralogy supports the interpretation of a
leach cap resulting from the weathering/oxidization supergene enrichment process of primary copper
sulphides. Limited rock and soil sampling has returned copper concentrations within the interpreted leach
cap that range from 0.025 to 0.76%. The copper mineralogy, weakly anomalous copper-silver-molybdenum
soil anomalies, alteration assemblage (ranges from argillic to potassic ) and intense post intrusive
hydrothermal clay alteration suggest a buried porphyry copper system at depth. The Nicola Group and
Guichon Creek rocks exhibit intense hydrothermal clay alteration whereas the late-stage dikes appear to be
relatively fresh; not affected by the hydrothermal clay alteration.
