Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 6, 2025) - Gold Hart Copper Corp. (TSXV: HART) (the
"Company", "Gold Hart", or "HART") is pleased to announce the results of the second diamond
drill hole (DDHTOL05) at its flagship Tolita gold-copper-molybdenum property in the Vicuña
District of Chile.
Gold Hart's second diamond drill hole again encountered long porphyry-style mineralization
typical of the Vicuña District, with certain drill intervals showing higher grades of gold, copper,
and molybdenum relative to the first hole announced last month.
Specifically, Gold Hart intercepted 10 meters of 0.62g/t gold equivalent, including a highlight
sample that included 0.60g/t gold, 0.34% copper, and 20g/t molybdenum for a gold equivalent
of 0.97g/t. This subsection was within a larger 42m mineralized intercept.
This aforementioned intercept was above the fault, but similar to the first hole, Gold Hart again
encountered gold, copper, and molybdenum mineralization below the fault later in the hole as
well. In this case, below the fault, Gold Hart intercepted 22m of 0.40g/t gold equivalent, within a
larger 63m mineralized intercept.
Like the first hole (DDHTOL02), this second diamond drill hole (DDHTOL05) also finished in
mineralization.
Gold Hart geologists Jonathan Warner, P.Geo and Rodrigo Alejandro Díaz Tillería, P.Geo,
commented, "It is highly encouraging to continue seeing gold, copper, and molybdenum
anomalies coinciding with zones of conductivity and chargeability. Once again, we observed a
sterile interval cutting across two mineralized sections, clearly associated with a major structure
or post-mineral zone, an important input for optimally modelling and developing the asset as we
hope to vector towards a higher grade core. A critical finding is that DDHTOL05, like the first hole
(DDHTOL02), finished in mineralization, reinforcing that the system remains completely open at
depth. When reviewing the 2D sections with drillhole projections, it is easy to lose perspective of
the magnitude, but the ends of these two holes are separated by 570m, a highly significant
distance for evaluating the lateral continuity potential of the system. Right now we know this
system remains open at depth, and based on regional experience, porphyry systems of this type
can extend between 1 and 1.5 km. In addition, the consistent metal presence in holes 570 m apart
provides strong evidence not just for vertical continuity, but for lateral continuity of the system as
well."
Enrique Viteri-Aldunate, Vicuña pioneer and Tolita discoverer, noted, "After examining this drill
hole - which is now the farthest drill hole to the west from the possibly mineralized center, which
appears to be potentially located to the east - there is sufficient gold to indicate that we are within
an environment of gold mineralization, which is very positive for exploration. This drill hole is
clearly indicative of gold in the hydrothermal system. Now we have to find the core."
"Based upon our current geological thesis, this second hole moved nearly 600m farther away
from our bullseye, and not only did we once again obtain nice long porphyry-style intercepts of
gold, copper, and molybdenum, not only did the hole again finish in mineralization, but in this case
we actually saw some higher grade intervals than the first hole," added Isaac Maresky, Co-
founder & CEO of Gold Hart.

Important Notes: Gold equivalent grade calculated using current market prices for gold
($3,340/oz) copper ($11,180/t) and molybdenum ($61,917/t) only and assumes equal recovery for
all metals. These metal prices were utilized for the prior hole as well, for the sake of consistency.
True widths are not yet known. Certain samples included anomalous values of silver, lead and
zinc which are excluded altogether.
Gold Hart Copper - First Drill Hole DDHTOL02 - Announced July 22, 2025
As announced July 22, 2025, Gold Hart's first diamond hole encountered long porphyry-style
mineralization typical of the Vicuña District, including near continuous gold, copper, and
molybdenum intercepts from approximately 137m until the end of the drill hole at 610m (473m)
except for a sterile zone surrounding a potentially significant fault zone of 150m. Specifically, Gold
Hart obtained 203.5m of 0.25g/t gold equivalent from 137.5m, including a higher grade zone of
67m at 0.38g/t gold equivalent. Later in this same hole, Gold Hart intercepted another 118m of
0.24g/t gold equivalent, including 45.5m at 0.30g/t gold equivalent. The drill hole finished in
mineralization.
About Gold Hart Copper
Gold Hart Copper is one of the largest independent land owners surrounding major miners where
the famous Maricunga Gold Belt meets the emerging Vicuña Copper Belt in Chile. HART is
actively acquiring, exploring and developing its portfolio of gold, copper & silver properties
adjacent to the largest gold and copper assets on the continent.
In addition to its large land position in the Vicuña District, Gold Hart recently acquired three
properties just West on Chile's Paleocene-Eocene Belt on the famous Domeyko Faul, which is
home to some of Chile's largest gold, copper, and silver assets including Escondida,
Chuquicamata and Collahuasi. The new Gold Hart properties host several historic gold and
copper mines with high grades of gold, copper, and silver on surface, with a large alteration and
magnetic anomaly extending approximately 6km.
HART's team of geologists were personally involved in pioneering exploration in the region,
leading to some of its greatest gold, copper, and silver deposits, and include the country's former
Geological Survey National Deputy Manager Dr. Professor José Frutos. Specifically, senior Gold
Hart geologists were personally involved in the Escondida copper discovery, now the largest
copper mine in the world controlled by Rio Tinto and BHP, as well as Cerro Casale, the largest
gold-copper discovery in Chile acquired by Barrick and Newmont (GoldCorp) with 59-million
ounces of gold and 12.5-billion pounds of copper.
HART has rolled-up a portfolio of historically significant assets surrounding majors, in some cases
personally staked by the very same geologists who made the adjacent mega-discoveries, since
the early 1990s. Some of the Gold Hart properties have already undergone a first phase of RC
drilling, with highly encouraging results of gold, copper, and silver. Gold Hart properties are
controlled 100% and not subject to any royalties whatsoever.
HART believes it may be sitting on one of the only fully-preserved untested large-scale gold-
copper-silver porphyry targets in the Vicuña District - an asset that was first recognized for its
uniquely high grades of gold and copper on surface - and staked by one of the Maricunga-Vicuña
district's pioneering geologists in 1993. Gold Hart Copper is fully funded for its planned drill
campaign.
About Gold Hart Copper's Tolita Gold-Copper-Silver-Molybdenum Target
The Tolita property is a historically significant gold-copper-molybdenum asset which was first
recognized and staked in 1993 - by one of the pioneering geologists of the Maricunga-Vicuña
district - for its uniquely high grades of gold and copper on surface. Geochemical surveys
revealed gold, copper, silver, and molybdenum anomalies, which led to trenching. Tolita has had
significant trenching (5,600m / 5.6km) with the highest grade trench returning grades up to 52g/t
gold equivalent including 4% copper. Tolita has undergone helicopter mag surveys which
identified 4 unique anomalies as well.
In 1996, a third party company optioned the property and drilled 3 short 200m RC holes, without
any geophysics, and yet still hit gold and copper in all 3 holes, including long intercepts of gold
and copper (150m and 164m, respectively) close to surface in 2 of the 3 holes. At the time, gold
was approximately $300/oz and copper traded below $1.00/lb, and large scale sulphide /
porphyry deposits with both gold and copper were often considered less favorable than smaller

scale gold-only oxide deposits. As a result, and due to general market sentiment for junior
exploration companies in 1997-1998, Tolita was only drilled to a depth of 200m with 3 short RC
holes (out of a planned 8 hole campaign).
When Gold Hart acquired the property, a full geophysical survey was conducted by a recognized
geophysics firm, and a large high-chargeability and conductive anomaly was discovered that is
near surface and almost 2.5km in size and "interpreted as a copper-gold or gold-copper
porphyry system that certainly warrants additional exploration and drilling". Gold Hart Copper
has therefore launched diamond drilling and is fully funded for this planned campaign.
