Getty Drills 46m of 1.47% Copper Within 150m of 0.71% Copper in Step-Out Intercepts at Getty South

Drill Results

Getty Drills 46m of 1.47% Copper Within 150m

of 0.71% Copper in Step-Out Intercepts at

Getty South

Highlights:

Getty South step-out drilling intersects shallow, thick, high-grade copper mineralization

in multiple holes that remains open along strike and at depth

Fall program accelerated: Drilling with two rigs to begin in September with initial focus at

Getty South

Assays pending for 7 more holes at Getty South targeting additional zones

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 14, 2026) - Getty Copper Inc. (TSXV: GTC)

(OTCQX: GTCDF) ("

Getty

" or the "

Company

") is pleased to report assay results for four more holes

from its spring 2026 drilling at the Getty South target, part of the Company's Getty project in the Highland

Valley District of British Columbia.

"The copper grades in these holes at Getty South are multiples higher than those of reported

resources in the Highland Valley district. The grades and widths have surprised us, and the continuity

in these relatively closely spaced step-outs is positive. Geologically, this porphyry related high-grade

breccia mineralization appears to be unique in the district.

"Based on these results, we are accelerating our follow-up program to start in late September. The

program will commence with two rigs initially at Getty South to define the size and continuity of the

high-grade mineralization, as well as testing exploration targets.

"Our longer term aim is twofold – to define the potential copper resources at Getty South and Getty

North via a planned mineral resource estimate in 2027 and to make new discoveries in the largest

porphyry copper district in Canada."

–

CEO, Ryan O'Regan

Results:

Getty South is a target area located 7 km north of Teck's Highland Valley Copper Mill and 3.5 km south

of the Getty North resource target area (Figure 4). It was historically mined underground, most recently in

the 1950s and drilled in campaigns from the 1950s to late 1990s. Most historical drilling is missing

assay data or was only partially sampled and certain hole location and survey information is uncertain.

Despite the target's history, it remains poorly understood and the Company undertook a relogging

program in 2025 and 2026 to build a testable mineralization model.

Today's results are from cross sections of holes drilled 25m north (Figure 2) and 25m south of the 184m

of 0.37% Cu and 0.4 g/t Ag from 110m depth intercept reported in hole GS26-01 on September 2, 2026

getty-south/

The continuity and widths of mineralization in this zone support a 40-60 metre wide body of copper

mineralization that trends north-northwest to south-southeast and remains open in both directions and

beneath drilling. True widths of mineralization are not yet fully defined, but are estimated to be between

30 to 60% of the downhole intercepts. Mineralization is hosted within a broad, low chargeability

geophysical anomaly that has a diameter of approximately 500m (Figure 3).

Geological Background:

The mineralization and geology are similar to that reported in the initial drill holes from Getty South on

September 2

. Copper mineralization occurs as relatively coarse-grained (to several centimetres)

chalcopyrite and minor bornite in veins and hydrothermal breccia cement (Figure 1). Local supergene

oxidation of copper mineralization is present near surface and along faults and will be more fully

characterized by ongoing sequential leach assaying.

The mineralization and associated hydrothermal brecciation are developed within a larger pre-mineral

breccia body that encompasses most of the Getty South target area, based on historical mapping and

relogging of limited historical core. This host breccia has a matrix predominantly of rock flour and

contains clasts of older host equigranular intrusive rock and porphyry intrusions, as well as juvenile flow-

banded porphyry intrusive clasts interpreted to be synchronous with the breccia-forming event.

Both the breccias and mineralization are interpreted to have a porphyry-related origin. Historical drilling

suggests the potential for multiple zones of higher-grade mineralization within the Getty South footprint.

Outlook:

Assays remain pending for seven holes at Getty South and three holes at Getty North, with results

to be reported as they are received and compiled

The Company has accelerated preparations for its fully funded 4,000-6,000 metre, two-rig fall

drilling program, which is now expected to focus initially on Getty South in addition to testing other

exploration targets

Permits are expected soon for the Company's 100%-owned Dot Property, an additional

exploration opportunity within the Company's pipeline

Sampling and Assay Protocols

Reported intervals represent drilled widths because true widths are not yet known. Drill holes were

sampled at continuous 3m intervals, though samples may be shorter to accommodate geological

boundaries. Samples were halved by core saw onsite, with one half sent to ALS Laboratories in

Kamloops or North Vancouver for preparation and pulps were assayed in North Vancouver. Samples

were prepared and assayed following ALS method codes: PREP-31, ME-MS61, and Au-ICP21.

Selected samples were also assayed by sequential leach package Cu-PKG06LI, for which a split of the

pulp was analyzed at ALS Laboratories in Lima, Peru. The Company followed a QA/QC program

involving the use of blanks, standards and duplicates.
