Kutcho Copper to Receive Approximately $800,000 Refund from CRA

Vancouver, B.C., February 3, 2025. Kutcho Copper Corp. (TSXV: KC) (OTCQX: KCCFF) (“Kutcho

Copper” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update regarding the ongoing audit with the Canada

Revenue Agency (“CRA”) involving the Company’s subsidiary, Kutcho Copper Holdings Inc., (“KCH”)

for taxation years ended April 30, 2019 and 2020.

In summary, tax returns were filed for KCH for the years ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2020 in which

expenses were claimed stemming from a work program undertaken on the Kutcho Copper’s project in 2018

and 2019. An audit of the tax returns by CRA in 2021 resulted in a reassessment of both taxation years, in

which CRA denied almost all the amounts claimed by KCH. (please see notes to the financial statements

for the years April 2022 to current).

Vince Sorace, President & CEO of Kutcho Copper stated: “After an extended review process with the

CRA spanning multiple years, resulting in KCH filing formal notices of objection to the reassessments by

CRA, we have now received notice from the CRA confirm ing that the amounts disputed by KC H in the

notices of objection were allowed in full . We are happy to conclude this process which results in the

Company now expecting to receive approximately $800,000 from the CRA as a result of GST refunds

withheld, mining exploration tax credits due for the 2020 taxation year and accrued interest on amounts

withheld”
