NORTHWEST COPPER ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF 2024 LORRAINE - TOP CAT EXPLORATION DRILL PROGRAM

Northwest Copper Corp.'s 2024 drill program at the Lorraine-Top Cat project in north-central British Columbia has been successfully completed and crews will be de-mobilizing from the field once the diamond drill core is processed.

Approximately 800-plus metres of drilling was completed at the regional Nova and Road IP targets (see news release dated July 4, 2024, for descriptions of the targets). Three holes were drilled, one at Nova (356 metres) and two at Road IP (456 metres total). The drill holes are currently being logged and sampled. Approximately 470-plus half-core diamond drill samples with quality assurance/quality control samples inserted will be sent to Activation Laboratories in Kamloops.

Assay results are expected in the coming weeks, and a full discussion of results and observations will be released when assays are received. The results of this program will be leveraged to assist in developing future targets at Lorraine-Top Cat, in support of the company's strategy to grow its mineral resource base via exploration.

The Lorraine-Top Cat project

The project covers 65,000-plus hectares and is located in north-central British Columbia, 280 kilometres northwest of Prince George, B.C., and approximately 45 km from Northwest's Kwanika-Stardust project. The Lorraine deposit is a silica-undersaturated alkalic copper-gold porphyry deposit, which is the same classification as the Galore Creek and Mount Polley deposits.
