Canadian Copper Announces Closing of Flow-Through Private Placement

Toronto, April 15, 2025 – Canadian Copper Inc. (CSE:CCI) (“Canadian Copper” or the “Company”) announces that it has closed its non-brokered, flow-through share offering (the “FT Offering”) consisting of 2,710,517 flow-through shares (the “FT Shares“) of the Company at a price of C$0.19 per FT Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $515,000. There were no warrants as part of this financing.

Simon Quick, CEO of Canadian Copper, stated, “We would like to simultaneously thank and welcome a new small group of strategic shareholders to Canadian Copper. This flow-through placement did not utilize a flow-through fund, and these investors share our view that the Bathurst Camp of New Brunswick remains both prospective for exploration and is also a top tier jurisdiction to develop new Canadian mines. With this raise now closed, we are excited to start working on the Murray Brook East property.”

The Notice of Planned Work (“NPW”) was submitted to the New Brunswick Government on April 8^th, 2025. The current program will consist of:

Prospecting and geologic mapping;
Excavation of up to 14 trenches ranging from 2 – 20 meters wide by 50 – 300 meters long;
Several near surface drill holes to test known geochemical and geophysical targets.

The purpose and use for this proposed funding are to advance the Murray Brook East Project which is located between the Murray Brook deposit and the Caribou Complex (Figure A). The program will start in Q2 2025 and include prospecting, trenching and drilling activity. Murray Brook East has a minimum spend requirement of ~$140,000 per year to maintain its good standing status. Our budgeted figure of ~$500,000 will satisfy carry over holding expenses because of Canadian Copper’s transaction with Votorantim Metals Canada.

The proceeds of the FT Offering will be used to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures” as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures“) related to the Company’s projects in New Brunswick, Canada. The Company plans to incur Qualifying Expenditures on or before December 31, 2026 (or such other period as may be permissible under applicable tax legislation), and to renounce all the Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2025. The Company paid 6% in finders fees associated with the FT Offering.

The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States unless registered under the 1933 Act and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements is available.

Cautionary Note Regarding PEAs and Mineral Resource Estimates

This preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized. Until mineral deposits are actually mined and processed, Mineral Resources must be considered as estimates only. Mineral Resource Estimates that are not Mineral Reserves have not demonstrated economic viability. The estimation of Mineral Resources is inherently uncertain, involves subjective judgement about many relevant factors and may be materially affected by, among other things, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other factors described in the Company’s public disclosure available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. The quantity and grade of reported “Inferred” Mineral Resource Estimates are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define “Inferred” Mineral Resource Estimates as an “Indicated” or “Measured” Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading “Inferred” Mineral Resource Estimates to an “Indicated” or “Measured” Mineral Resource category. The accuracy of any Mineral Resource Estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation, which may prove to be unreliable and depend, to a certain extent, upon the analysis of drilling results and statistical inferences that may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Mineral Resource Estimates may have to be re-estimated based on, among other things: (i) fluctuations in mineral prices; (ii) results of drilling, and development; (iii) results of future test mining and other testing; (iv) metallurgical testing and other studies; (v) results of geological and structural modeling including block model design; (vi) proposed mining operations, including dilution; (vii) the evaluation of future mine plans subsequent to the date of any estimates; and (viii) the possible failure to receive required permits, licenses and other approvals. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of a “inferred” or “indicated” Mineral Resource Estimate will ever be upgraded to a higher category. The Mineral Resource Estimates disclosed in this news release were reported using CIM Standards in accordance with NI 43-101.
