Canadian Copper Closes Oversubscribed Private Placement: PEA Progressing for H1 2025

Toronto, December 6^th, 2024 – Canadian Copper Inc. (CSE:CCI) (“Canadian Copper” or the “Company”) announces that it has closed its oversubscribed non-brokered private placement consisting of 12,226,557 units at a price of $0.15 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,833,983 (“Private Placement”) previously announced on November 12^th, 2024. As a result, the Company will continue its work on the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) studying the economic potential of processing the 100%-owned Murray Brook deposit at the constructed Caribou Processing Complex.

Simon Quick, CEO of Canadian Copper. “With the private placement financing closed, we are turning our immediate focus to completing the PEA of our Combined Strategy. By integrating the large Murray Brook deposit with the already constructed Caribou Processing Complex, Canadian Copper may control one of the only brownfield near-term critical mineral producers in Canada. Further and of equal importance, we continue to cultivate local relationships with all Bathurst stakeholders in support of restarting the Caribou Processing Complex under our new strategy.”

As announced prior, each unit of the Private Placement will consist of one common share of the Company and one-full share purchase warrant. The warrant is comprised of two distinct parts: one ½ warrant with a six-month expiry and an exercise price of $0.175 and one ½ warrant with a 24-month expiry and an exercise price of $0.225. The warrant with an exercise price of $0.225 is subject to an accelerated exercise clause in the event the Company’s share price exceeds $0.30 for 10 consecutive trading days on a volume weighted average price basis.

The Company paid finder’s fees to certain arm’s-length third parties consisting of a cash commission of up to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement for an aggregate amount of $18,410.01 and up to 7% in finder warrants at the same terms of warrants issued as part of the Private Placement for an aggregate of 122,733 finder warrants. A statutory four month plus one day hold period will apply to all securities issued in connection with the Private Placement.

Proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to complete the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) that will analyze the economic potential of processing the Murray Brook deposit at the Caribou Complex under the Combined Scenario and general corporate working purposes. The Company announced its proposed acquisition of the Caribou Process Plant Complex on October 28^th, 2024. In this release, we stated several activities with anticipated completion dates that will culminate in a PEA targeted for the first half of 2025.

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.
