Northwest Copper Identifies Lorraine Boundary Target

Exploration Programs

News Release

NORTHWEST COPPER IDENTIFIES LORRAINE BOUNDARY TARGET

Vancouver, BC – July 6, 2023 – NorthWest Copper (“NorthWest” or “the Company”) (TSX -V:

NWST) (OTCQX: NWCCF) is pleased to announce that it has identified a prospective drill target

area approximately 6.5 kilometres northwest of the Lorraine deposit1. The Boundary Target is

shown in Figure s 1 & 2 and was identified by the NorthWest exploration team after a detailed

review of newly compiled historical data. The target was identified primarily by new

interpretations of:

• Magnetic and induced polarization geophysical surveys;

• Post-mineralization structures and their displacements;

• Surface rock geochemical results with values up to 11 % Cu, 60 g/t Au and 262 g/t Ag;

• Similar host geology and hydrothermal alteration to the Lower Main Zone at Lorraine; and

• A historical (1974), non-compliant resource of 7.2 Mt grading 0.55 % Cu and 3.7 g/t Ag2

in the northern portion of the target area.

"The Boundary Target is an other example3 of a high-priority exploration target in NorthWest's

portfolio that we would plan to test in the next drill program at Lorraine", said Interim President

and CEO David Moore. “ Boundary has the potential to add near-surface mineralization only 6.5

km from the current Lorraine resource. The target has only been tested in a restricted area by a

small number of relatively shallow historical drill holes. Our new interpretations of geology and

structure in combination with historical geochemical and dri lling results will be of great help in

locating and orienting new drill holes in this exci ting target. The Lorraine project offers many

excellent target opportunities with potential to add to the project’s resource base.”
