Kutcho Copper Mobilizes for 2026 Drill Program At Its Feasibility Stage, High-Grade Copper-Zinc Development Project Located in Northwest British Columbia

Kutcho Copper Corp. has announced mobilization towards the start of its 2026 drill program at its feasibility stage, high-grade copper-zinc development project located in Northwest British Columbia. Wildlife preclearing surveys, archaeology surveys, pad clearing and construction is underway. All preparation activities will culminate with two drill rigs to commence drilling in mid-July. The 2026 exploration program is designed to drill test the Hamburger, Gap and Esso West targets. 11 drill holes are planned, all to be accompanied by down-hole EM surveys. The prospective, near-planar Kutcho time horizon extends for over 12km along strike, and includes the Hamburger, Gap and Esso West targets. These are untested ZTEM conductivity highs near to the known mineralization - supported by geology, magnetic and seismic data to 850-metre depth. The Hamburger VMS target covers an area of 2.8km2 - more than double that of the defined mineral resource at the Main deposit. The Gap target covers an area of 1.3km2 at the confluence of two important conductivity trends. Esso West is a high priority drill target covering an area of 1,900m strike by 500m down dip (an area 4 times larger than the Esso Deposit). The Hamburger target is more than double that of the defined mineral resource at the Main deposit. Geological indicators allow room for multiple exploration target types, including downfaulted or parallel mineralization trends that have not been drill tested before. Historical drill holes (outside of the ZTEM high-conductivity target), intersected Kutcho time horizon rocks as well as significantly anomalous values of copper and zinc - which can occur within 50 to 100 metres of significant and potentially economic massive sulphide mineralization. Three drill holes are planned to test the thickest volumes of high ZTEM conductivity, overlapping with zones of greatest inversion confidence and paleobasement highs. The Gap target occurs at the confluence of two important conductivity trends. The intersection of these trends is interpreted to be a possible focal point for VMS style mineralization. The Gap ZTEM conductivity target was intersected in sparse historical drilling. Historical drilling has positive indicators of VMS mineralization with carbonate alteration and intersections of pyrite mineralization of lengths of up to 15 metres (hole K022). Historical drill holes indicate that alteration associated with the Main deposit continues along strike from known mineralization, and the ZTEM constrained conductivity model provides a focused drill target areas more likely to contain sulphide mineralization. Two drill holes are planned to test each of the conductivity trends in the highest confidence model areas. Esso West is a high priority drill target covering an area of 1,900 m strike by 500 m down dip (an area 4 times larger than the Esso Deposit). It is defined by coincident ZTEM, VTEM, and magnetic anomalies and an untested ZTEM conductivity high near to the known mineralization. Seismic reflection surveys over the Esso West target revealed detailed subsurface geological features that positviely correlate to those at the Esso Deposit – allowing for high conviction drill targeting where conincident with ZTEM conductivity highs. The target is strongly supported by geology, magnetic, and seismic data that have been benchmarked against the high-grade Esso deposit. The target is bracketed by a total of five historic drillholes that intercepted a combination of (a) moderately to strongly sericite – pyrite altered quartz – crystal tuffs that correlate to the immediate hanging wall rocks to the Main, Sumac, and Esso deposits and (b) sericite – pyrite altered lapilli tuffs, which are indicative of the foot wall sequence below the three known deposits. However, none of these holes directly intersected the Esso West target. Six drill holes are planned to test the highest anomalous conductivity portions of the target with focus along the 1,900m of strike extent.
