LIBERO COPPER CLOSES OPTION TO ACQUIRE THE BIG RED PORPHYRY COPPER-GOLD PROPERTY IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Libero Copper Corp. has closed the option agreement to acquire 100 per cent of the Big Red porphyry copper-gold property in the Golden Triangle in British Columbia, Canada, announced on Jan. 28, 2019. Libero Copper may acquire 100-per-cent of Big Red in return for the issuance of two million common shares of Libero Copper and cash payments of $440,000 over four years. The vendors have retained a 1-per-cent net smelter return royalty, 0.5 per cent of which may be repurchased by Libero Copper at any time for $10-million.

About the Big Red porphyry copper-gold property

Big Red comprises 12 contiguous claims, totalling 17,538 hectares, in northwestern British Columbia, 45 kilometres southwest of Telegraph Creek. Big Red lies within the Golden Triangle, 70 kilometres north of Galore Creek and 80 kilometres west of GT Gold's Tatogga discovery. Big Red is located 18 kilometres from paved highway with dirt roads extending to the claim block. This transaction represents the first time that the entire project has been consolidated under one operator.

The Golden Triangle is a geological province of prodigious copper and gold mineralization and host to some of Canada's most famous mines, including Premier, Red Chris, Snip, Brucejack and Eskay Creek. Within the Golden Triangle porphyry copper and gold, epithermal gold and silver and volcanogenic massive sulphide styles of mineralization have all been recognized. At Big Red, all three of these styles exist, indicating that a large mineralized system has been preserved from erosion. The porphyry centre to the mineralization is centred on a distinct magnetic-high feature that coincides with a radiometric potassium anomaly, copper, gold and molybdenum anomalies, and a mapped Jurassic-aged porphyry intrusion.

Libero Copper understands that previous work programs returned surface rock chip sample assays over 0.3 per cent copper and 0.3 g/t gold from the porphyry copper-gold target, including results of up to 1 per cent copper and 0.5 g/t gold. Five kilometres to the west, 36 boulders of up to two metres in diameter from an epithermal gold-silver target returned up to 252 g/t gold with an average of 24 g/t gold.

Due to the consolidation of this property and the numerous data packages that have to be combined, Libero Copper has embarked on a data compilation exercise that, when complete, will better illustrate the property's potential and allow a work plan and drill targets to be developed. In addition to Big Red, Libero Copper also controls two existing large tonnage copper deposits, which are Mocoa in Colombia and Tomichi in the United States.

The scientific and technical information included above with respect to Big Red has been provided to Libero Copper by third party sources and has not been independently verified. Libero Copper cannot, at this time, comment on or verify the key assumptions, parameters and methods used to prepare the scientific and technical information included above. There have not been any current or historical mineral resources calculated on Big Red.

The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Libero Copper's executive vice-president of exploration, Leo Hathaway, professional geoscientist, who is a qualified person as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
