VANCOUVER, British Columbia, September 21, 2023 – With less than 48 hours remaining until the proxy voting
deadline, NorthWest Copper Corp. ( “NorthWest” or the “Company”) (TSXV:NWST) (OTCQX: NWCCF) encourages
shareholders to vote for its refreshed board of directors (the “Board”) without delay . Every vote is important to
ensure that shareholders do not risk their investment to a n Activist Group, whose self-serving agenda could come
at the expense of all other shareholders.
NorthWest’s revamped Board – recommended by two independent proxy advisors – brings a proven track record in
successful equity financings, extensive experience in leadership roles within larger minerals companies, and
specialized expertise in BC copper deposits . The Board also possesses the cultural and environmental knowledge
necessary for fostering strong relationships and partnerships with First Nations and local communities.
Shareholders are reminded that the Activist Group has had four months to answer genuine concerns , including
simple questions about its legitimate plans for the Company and how it intends to enhance shareholder value . In
the Board’s view, the reason the Activist Group cannot articulate a credible plan is because it may be looking to
takeover the Company without paying a premium to all other shareholders.
The Activist Group declined settlement offers from the Board and openly stated its intention to utilize Company
funds for reimbursing the personal expenses accrued during this proxy battle, which is anticipated to amount to
hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Activist Group also approached two NorthWest directors – Chair Terry Lyons
and director David Moore – to join its slate. Both denied the Activist Group’s request due to the lack of plan for the
Company’s future and the potential risk to the investments of all other shareholders .
NorthWest remains steadfast in its commitment to acting in the best interests of its shareholders and stakeholders.
Board members continue to focus on their fiduciary duties and responsibilities for the betterment of NorthWest
despite these attempts to disrupt operations.
