Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 29, 2026) - Three Points Copper Inc. (CSE: EVM) ("Three Points Copper" or the "Company"), formerly EV Minerals Corporation, is pleased to announce the appointment of Nick Tintor as a director of the Company, effective September 11, 2026.

Mr. Tintor is a geologist with more than forty years in the mining industry. He holds a B.Sc. in Geology from the University of Toronto and is a Qualified Professional Member of the Mining and Metallurgical Society of America, which is a recognized Qualified Person category under National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. He is also a Life Member of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada and sits on its Securities Committee.

In copper, Mr. Tintor is a Director of Hercules Metals Corp. and helped to acquire the Leviathan project in Idaho, a copper-molybdenum porphyry discovery in which Barrick Gold made a $24 million strategic investment.

Mr. Tintor is also a Director of Benz Mining Corp. and Big Ridge Gold Corp., both of which are developing significant advanced-stage gold projects in Australia and Canada, respectively. More recently, Mr. Tintor was also the co-founder of Blossom Gold Inc., which is developing the Rosebud gold project in Nevada.

"Nick brings directly relevant experience," said Nicholas Konkin, President and Chief Executive Officer. "He took Anaconda from an acquisition through to a producing mine and helped reactivate Hercules via the acquisition of the Leviathan project that brought Barrick in as an investor. That is the experience we want alongside Scott Jobin-Bevans as we restart our Santa Monica Copper Project in Chile and drill it."
