CASCADE COPPER SIGNS DRILL CONTRACT FOR MAIDEN PROGRAM AT THE CENTREFIRE COPPER-GOLD PROJECT NEAR DRYDEN, NW ONTARIO

Cascade Copper Corp. has signed a drilling contract for a maiden minimum 600-metre diamond drilling program at its Centrefire copper-gold project, located 40 kilometres from Dryden, Ont. The corporation expects the drill contractor to mobilize in early June, 2026, with drilling focused on priority copper-gold volcanogenic massive sulphide targets identified through inversion modelling of geophysics, historic drilling and sampling of surface mineralization. A recent press release on May 11 discusses the priority drill targets. A live event to discuss Cascade's drill targets and drill contract will occur Wednesday, May 13, at 12 p.m. Please register.

"The signing of the drilling contract is the obvious next step for Cascade to verify and evaluate the extensive modelling and interpretation of the mineral systems at the Centrefire project," stated Jeffrey Ackert, president of Cascade Copper. "Our exploration work done to date on the project has predicted a robust VMS system that is begging to be tested. If the model is proven, it opens up the possibility for similar mineralization across the entire eight-kilometre trend."

Cascade Copper expects to provide additional updates as mobilization commences and drilling progresses.

Please register for a live event to discuss Cascade's drill targets and drill contract. The event will occur Wednesday, May 13, at 12 p.m. ET.

The technical information in this news release was prepared and approved by Shannon Baird, PGeo, a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Baird is vice-president, exploration, of Cascade Copper, registered as a professional geoscientist with the Professional Geoscientists of Ontario as well as the Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia.

Management cautions that all analysis values represented are grab or chip samples, are historical and selective in nature, and are not representative of the project in its entirety or indicative of any grade over all. These historical results are meant to point out zones of interest and potential follow-up in the future for infield verification.

About Cascade Copper Corp.

Cascade Copper is an exploration-stage natural resource company engaged in the evaluation, acquisition and exploration of copper-based mineral resource properties. Cascade is focused on copper and gold, porphyry, and mesothermal gold deposits in British Columbia and volcanogenic massive sulphide and banded iron formation copper, gold and silver style deposits in Ontario. Cascade's priority is to conduct exploration using modern technology that includes 3-D inversion modelling of geophysics, lidar elevation models, and artificial intelligence enhanced predictive modelling from all historic and modern data inputs. Drilling is planned on several of its copper-gold targets this year. Cascade has five projects, including the Copper Plateau copper-molybdenum project, the Centrefire copper-gold project, the Rogers Creek copper-gold project, the Fire Mountain copper-gold project and the Bendor gold-tungsten project.
