Highlights

• The table below summarises the most recent mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) (dated 25 March

2026, shaded green) and compares it to the prior published MRE (dated 01 September 2025, shaded

blue) for the Haib Copper Project in southern Namibia.

• This updated MRE reflects (i) a significant increase in copper equivalent grade (CuEq%) mainly due

to the inclusion of molybdenum (“Mo”) and gold (“Au”) b y-products (ii) a significant increase in

mineralised low-grade tonnage (iii) a significant increase in total contained Cu, Mo and Au and (iv)

a significant reduction in stripping ratio.

• Specifically: 18% and 23% CuEq% grade increase to 0.40% and 0.39% CuEq% in the high grade

Indicated and high grade Inferred category, respectively (>0.25% Cu).

• 416% and 636% increase in total mineralised material in the low grade Indicated and Inferred

category of 744Mt and 579Mt, respectively (>0.15% Cu).

• Stripping ratio reduced to 0.92x from 1.74x

Luxembourg, Luxembourg – March 25, 202 6 – Koryx Copper S.A. (TSX:KRY.V) (NSX:KYX) (OTCQB:KRYXF)

(“Koryx” or the " Company") is pleased to announce an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ( “MRE”) for its

wholly-owned Haib Project (“Haib” or the “Project”), in southern Namibia. This Mineral Resource Statement

represents an update to the previous statement that had an effective date of 01 September 2025 and was

reported in an NI 43 -101 Technical Report titled “Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Haib Copper

Project, Namibia”.

Haib is a large-scale, advanced open-pit sulphide copper, molybdenum, and gold porphyry project with a small

oxide cap. It has an envisaged average production rate 92,000tpa in clean concentrate over a 24 -year mine

life via a simple and low-risk open pit crushing/milling/flotation process. The Company's Preliminary Economic

Assessment (“PEA”), dated September 2025 , demonstrated the project to be technically and economically

feasible with attractive economics and a simple, scalable, long -life and low -cost development strategy

undergoing rapid advancement.

Heye Daun, Koryx Copper’s President and CEO commented: “We are very pleased with the large improvement

and refinement of the Haib MRE, particularly the grade increase of the high grade portion to 0.40% CuEq (from

0.34% CuEq) coupled with the conversion of a large volume of material previously modelled as waste into lower

grade mineralised material, thereby increasing the total copper inventory from 2. 6Mt to 3.5Mt of contained

copper whilst also reducing the expected stripping ratio from 1.74x to 0.92x.

The high-grade zone CuEq grade improvement was achieved primarily through the inclusion of byproducts (Mo

and Au), and refined modelling of the high-grade portions of the mineral resource. That high-grade portion in

the Indicated and Inferred category now represents over 15 years of life-of-mine, and with the addition of the

substantially larger lower grade halo, the life-of-mine of the Haib project is expected to grow very significantly

from its current 24 years to likely more than 35 years.

We will soon have 14 drill rigs on site aiming to complete 50,000m of additional infill and growth drilling before

the middle of 2026. The results will be incorporated into another MRE update, which will serve as the basis for

the PFS.

The combination of the (i) improved Cu grade in the high grade zones, (ii) establishment of Au and Mo indicated

and inferred resources, (iii) reduced expected strip ratio, (iv) increased life-of-mine and (v) potential additional

grade increase from mineral ore sorting, are expected to deliver a step-change improvement in overall project

economics (both capital intensity and AISC) to be published as part of the 4Q 2026 PFS. The Haib deposit

continues to grow, and demonstrate the scale and consistency require d for a future large -scale copper

producer.”

Haib Geology

Haib is Paleoproterozoic in age and is considered one of the oldest known porphyry copper deposits in the

world. Disseminated copper mineralisation is contained within the porphyritic granodiorite, porphyritic

andesite and associated breccias and is concentrated along a north-westerly structural trend that dips steeply

to the southwest. Broad zones of copper mineralisation occur over a strike length of approximately 2 km that

are commonly several hundreds of metres wide. Like many South American porphyries, Haib has a small oxide

cap.

Mineralisation has been intersected by diamond drilling to a depth of 790 m below the topographic surface.

Copper mineralisation is predominantly chalcopyrite, however small amounts of supergene copper

mineralisation in various mineralogical states occurs near surface to shallow depths (generally less than 10 m).

The MRE update has been produced by re-logging and refining of the geological interpretation and

mineralisation controls, together with the new drilling results received s ince the previous model update of

October 2024. This has resulted in an updated Mineral Resource Statement, with an effective date of 16 March

2026, based on an updated Mineral Resource model and a revised optimised pit shell.

Gold has been included in this update following metallurgical test -work allowing for assumed recovery to be

applied. Additional Molybdenum assay results have also generated a better estimate for the by -product

resource. Furthermore, using parameters aligned with the latest metallurgical results and assumptions,

payabilities and metal prices, a copper equivalent grade has been included in the Mineral Resource statement.

Haib Resource Modelling

A three -dimensional geological model of the copper mineralisation was constructed using all the drillhole

sample data , creating multiple mineralised zones using a grade shell approach at various copper grade

thresholds (>0.25%, 0.20 -0.25%, 0.15 -0.20%, 0.10-0.15% and <0.10%) . This produced a nested grade shell

model that accounts for all mineralisation currently defined in the resource area.

The model incorporated interpreted structural trends and geological domains that influence the

mineralisation (Figure 1). The copper grade was estimated using the accepted historical and all Koryx data.

Estimation of the grade of a three -dimensional block model was performed by ordinary kriging of five metre

composite sample copper grades using Leapfrog Edge software. An a verage in-situ dry bulk density value of

2.78 t/m3 was assigned to all blocks.

Haib Mineral Resource Statement

The Mineral Resource was estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM)

Best Practice Guidelines and is reported in accordance with the 2014 CIM Definition Standards, which have

been incorporated by reference into National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects

(NI 43-101).

The Mineral Resource was reported from within an optimised pit shell. The project envisages an open -pit

mining operation with flotation of sulphide mineralisation, and heap leach with solvent extraction ,

electrowinning (SX-EW) of oxide and transitional mineralisation.

The optimised pit shell was informed by mineralisation contained within the modelled 0.20% Cu grade shell.

Blocks that occur within the pit -shell with estimated grade above 0.15% Cu satisfy marginal cut -off grade

criteria and, together with the optimised p it shell, reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction

(RPEEE) for the Mineral Resource has been demonstrated.

The assessment to satisfy the criteria of RPEEE is a high -level estimate and is not an attempt to estimate

Mineral Reserves. A summary of the Mineral Resource estimate is presented in Table 1.

Notes:

1. All tabulated data have been rounded and as a result minor computational errors may occur.

2. Mineral Resources, which are not Mineral Reserves, have no demonstrated economic viability. There is no guarantee that that all

or any part of the Mineral Resource will be converted into a Mineral Reserve. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially

affected by geology, environment, permitting, legal title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

3. Mt = Million tonnes, kt = thousand tonnes, Mlbs = Million pounds.

4. The Mineral Resource Statement for Haib as of 16 March 2026 is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.15% Cu within a conceptual pit

shell using the following assumed parameters:

• Copper Price 9,300 USD/t. Molybdenum price 43,860 USD/t. Gold Price 2,800 USD/oz.

• Royalty and Export Levy: 4%, Copper payability: 97.5%, Molybdenum payability 90.0%, Gold payability 95%.

• Overall slope angle: 45° for Fresh, 42° for Oxide and Transitional.

• Sulphide recovery flotation: 89% Cu, 55% Mo, 40% Au. Heap Leach recovery 85%.

• Mining Cost at pit rim USD/tonne: 2.07 (additional 0.008 USD/tonne per metre depth from pit rim).

• Processing Cost USD/tonne ore processed: 6.57 Flotation, 5.21 Heap Leach, solvent extraction and electro winning (SX-EW).

• SG&A Overheads 0.47 USD/tonne ore processed.

5. The copper equivalent calculation uses the following formula for price contribution of each metal in one tonne relative to copper.

(Cu grade * Cu Price * Cu Recovery * Cu payability + Au grade * Au Price * Au Recovery * Au payability + Mo grade * Mo Price *

Mo Recovery * Mo payability) / (Cu grade * Cu Price * Cu Recovery * Cu payability) * Cu grade,

Cu Price = USD 10,000/t, Mo Price + USD 50,000/t, Au Price = USD 4000/oz,

Cu Recovery = 87.5% Mo Recovery = 55% Au Recovery = 50%,

Cu Payability = 97.5%, Mo Payability = 90% Au Payability = 95%,

Recoveries are assumed from preliminary metallurgical testwork for bulk concentrate production.
