SUPER COPPER COMMENCES MAIDEN DIAMOND DRILL PROGRAM AT THE CORDILLERA COBRE PROJECT, ATACAMA, CHILE

Diamond drilling has commenced at Super Copper Corp.'s Cordillera Cobre project in the Atacama region of Chile. The maiden phase 1 program contemplates up to 15 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 5,000 metres, focused on the El Alto target, where the company's 2025 to 2026 geophysical programs defined a chargeability corridor extending over 800 metres in strike length.

Highlights

• Maiden drill program under way: up to 5,000 metres at the El Alto target, Cordillera Cobre project;
• First hole in progress: DH26CC-001 has been collared at El Alto at an azimuth of 040 degrees and a dip of negative 50 degrees, planned to approximately 400 m with flexibility to extend based on geological observations;
• Strong early productivity: the track-mounted diamond core rig supplied by Vision Perforaciones SpA is advancing at a rate of approximately 50 metres every 24 hours;
• Systematically defined targets: holes are designed to test coincident IP chargeability and 3-D magnetic vector inversion (MVI) anomalies defined by the company's surface sampling, ground magnetics, IP and 3-D MVI programs.

Drilling operations

Drilling is being carried out by Vision Perforaciones SpA using a track-mounted diamond core rig with a depth capacity of over 1,000 metres. The rig is operating on a 24-hour, double-shift basis and is currently advancing the first hole.

Drill platforms and access works were completed ahead of drilling, and all required regulatory notifications, including filings with Sernageomin, are in place.

Drill core is being logged, photographed and sampled on site under QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) protocols overseen by Apex Geoscience Ltd., with samples to be submitted to an accredited independent laboratory for analysis. Assay results will be reported once received, compiled and interpreted.

The El Alto target

El Alto is a copper target associated with hydrothermal breccias, calcite-quartz stockwork veining and copper oxide mineralization within a northeast-trending structural corridor northeast of Copiapo, in the same district as the Venado Sur mine. Mineralization hosted on nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the company's property.

Between 2025 and 2026, the company completed systematic surface sampling, ground magnetics, IP chargeability surveying and 3-D MVI modelling across the target area. This work defined a series of coincident chargeability and magnetic anomalies over more than 800 metres of strike, which the phase 1 program is designed to systematically drill test. The nearby Calcite Hill target, where IP surveying has also defined anomalies, provides follow-up drill targets contingent on phase 1 results.

Management commentary

"The drill is turning at Cordillera Cobre, and it's turning fast," said Zachary Dolesky, chief executive officer. "Our maiden program is off to an excellent start, the rig is advancing around the clock at approximately 50 metres per day, the first core is already in hand and our geological team is logging it as it comes out of the ground. El Alto gives us more than 800 metres of coincident geophysical targets that we defined through disciplined, systematic work and phase 1 is the first real test of that thesis. With the program fully funded and the team performing, we look forward to results through the balance of 2026."
