NORTHWEST COPPER ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL HIGH-GRADE Cu-Au PORPHYRY

RESULTS FROM MULTIPLE HOLES AT KWANIKA INCLUDING 100.5 METRES OF

1.91% CuEq AND 71.90 METRES OF 2.64% CuEq

Vancouver, BC – November 16, 2021 – NorthWest Copper (“NorthWest” or “the Company”) (TSX-

V: NWST) (OTCQX: NWCCF) is pleased to announce that drilling at Kwanika has encountered

multiple intersections of high-grade copper-gold porphyry mineralization. These holes extend

the high-grade part of Kwanika. All five holes have intercepts of greater than 1% copper

equivalent mineralization and contain meaningful gold grades . These results reinforce the high-

grade nature and continuity of this deposit. Highlights are presented below:

• K-21-210: 416.50 metres1 of 0.87% copper equivalent (“CuEq”) 2 including 100.50m of

1.91% CuEq.

• K-21-216: 250.60 metres of 1.36% CuEq including 71.90m of 2.64% CuEq.

• K-21-218: 366.00 metres of 0.61% CuEq including 106.10m of 1.27% CuEq.

These holes are a continuation of the C ompany’s angle hole drill program designed to expand

and improve the high- grade part of the Kwanika resource3. These five holes are in the “Boot”

target area which forms the conceptual block cave portion of the resource as defined by the 2019

resource shape. The holes are below and down plunge from the previously released 2021 near-

surface drilling, which targeted the conceptual open pit defined in the 2019 study.

“The Kwanika high -grade drill program continues to deliver exceptional results” commented

President and CEO Peter Bell. “The discovery of a new very high -grade style of mineralization in

hole K-21-217 was really exciting for Kwanika exploration . Th is new batch of five holes is a

reminder that the porphyry mineralization at Kwanika itself is characterized by very high grades.

Every hole in this release has material thicknesses of greater than 1% copper equivalent

demonstrating the wide distribution of high grades throughout the deposit. In addition, hole K-

21-216 includes a significant thickness of material above 2.5% copper equivalent including a

significant gold contribution.”

1 True widths of the reported mineralized intervals have not been determined .

2 Assumptions used in USD for the copper equivalent calculation were metal prices of $3.25/lb. Copper, $1,600/oz Gold, $20/oz S ilver, and recovery is

assumed to be 100% given the level of metallurgical test data available. The following equation was used to calculate copper equivalence: CuEq = Copper

(%) + (Gold (g/t) x 0.7182) + (Silver (g/t) x 0.0090).

NorthWest’s goals at Kwanika in 2021 included expanding the high-grade zone and improving the

grade within it by drilling angled holes across mineralized structural zones with closer-spaced

drilling. All our results to date have provided results exceeding these goals.

NorthWest has focussed on the high-grade portion of Kwanika and adjacent high-grade Stardust

deposit since the C ompany was created in March. Multiple high-grade Kwanika assay results 4

followed releases of favourable Stardust metallurgy in April 2021 5 and an expanded high-grade

Stardust resource in May 2021. These high -grade results, t he previously released near-surface

results, and drill hole K-21-217, will support an updated Kwanika resource planned for Q4 2021.

We still have additional results to be received and released including additional holes from

Kwanika, Stardust and East Niv.

Each drill hole reported here exhibits similar geology. Copper-gold porphyry-style mineralization

is hosted by diorite and monzonite intrusions . Highest grade intervals correlate with the

abundance of very well -mineralized quartz -sulphide veins that contai n chalcopyrite variably

accompanied by bornite, and additional disseminated mineralization occurs in strong potassic

alteration between and related to the veins. Mineralization is mostly hypogene sulphide, but a

zone of paleo-supergene mineralization is typically present at the top of the mineralized interval.

Late- to post-mineral dykes locally cut the copper-gold mineralization.

Quality Assurance / Quality Control

Drilling completed at Kwanika in 2021 was supervised by on -site No rthWest personnel who

collected and tracked samples and implemented a full QA/QC program using blanks, standards

and duplicates to monitor analytical accuracy and precision. The samples were sealed on site and

shipped to Bureau Veritas (BV) in Vancouver BC for analysis. BV’s quality control system complies

with global certifications for Quality ISO9001:2008. Core samples were analyzed using a

combination of BV’s MA200 process for low level concentrations (ICP -MS/4 Acid digestion) and

the MA370 process for higher level concentrations (ICP -ES/4 acid digestion). Gold assaying was

completed with FA430, a 30-gram fire assay with AAS finish. Base metal overlimits were finalized

with titration where required, with gold overlimits completed with a gravimetric finish. A silica

wash was used between high-grade samples to ensure no sample carry over.
