Share (the “Issue Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of C$20,000,064, inclusive of the exercise

a concurrent non-brokered private placement (the “Placement”) of an aggregate 4,761,844 Common Shares also

Capital Markets, Red Cloud Securities Inc. and Ventum Financial Corp. (collectively, the “Underwriters”).
Heye Daun, Koryx Copper’s President and CEO commented: “We are delighted with the continued support
received from our longstanding shareholders, especially Ross Beaty, and a number of European and North
American financial institutions who have invested with us repeatedly over the years. In addition, the Kory x
executive team followed my significant investment, into this financing.
We are also very grateful for the very strong interest shown by Namibian institutional and private investors who
made up more than 40% of this financing. This is a very strong vote of confidence from Namibian investors who
are playing an increasingly impor tant part in the evolving shareholder base of Koryx Copper and who have
endorsed our strategy for the fast -tracked development of the world -class, long-life and low -cost Haib copper
deposit in the south of Namibia.
With this capital in hand, we are well positioned to accelerate technical work, optimize our development plans,
and unlock significant value. We are excited for the months ahead as we move rapidly toward key milestones,
including the optimization and right -sizing of Haib as we advance toward our PEA and PFS. The momentum is
building, and I look forward to sharing our continued progress.”
The Common Shares issued under the Offering were offered by way of a short form prospectus dated July 29,
2025 filed in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, except Québec, and offered in the United States on
a private placement basis pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ U.S. Securities Act”), and in those jurisdictions outside of Canada and
the United States as agreed to by the Company and the Underwriters, in each case in accordance with all
applicable laws and provided that no prospectus, registration or other similar document is required to be filed in

About Koryx Copper Inc.
Koryx Copper Inc. is a Canadian copper development Company focused on advancing the 100% owned Haib
Copper Project in Namibia . Haib is a large, advanced (PEA -stage) copper/molybdenum porphyry deposit in
southern Namibia with a long history of exploration and project development by multiple operators. More than
80,000m of drilling has been conducted at Haib since the 1970’s with si gnificant exploration programs led by
companies including Falconbridge (1964), Rio Tinto (1975) and Teck (2014). Extensive metall urgical testing and
various technical studies have also been completed at Haib to date.
Additional studies are underway aiming to demonstrate Haib as a future long -life, low-cost, low-risk open pit,
sulphide flotation copper project with the potential for additional copper production from heap leaching. Haib
has a current mineral resource of 414Mt @ 0.35% Cu for 1,459Mt of contained copper in the Indicated category
and 345Mt @ 0.33% Cu for 1136Mt of contained copper in the Inferred category (0.25% Cu cut-off).
Mineralization at Haib is typical of a porphyry copper deposit and it is one of only a few examples of a
Paleoproterozoic porphyry copper deposit in the world and one of only two in southern Africa (both in Namibia).
Due to its age, the deposit has been su bjected to multiple metamorphic and deformation events but still retains
many of the classic mineralization and alteration features typical of these deposits. The mineralization is
dominantly chalcopyrite with minor bornite and chalcocite present and only minor secondary copper minerals at
surface due to the arid environment.
