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.
