GETTY DRILLS 342M OF 0.50% COPPER FROM 9M AT GETTY NORTH

Getty Copper Inc. has provided the first assay results from its 2026 exploration program at the company's Getty project in the Highland Valley district.

The results from the three drill holes reported here are the first from the current program, which is designed to support a future resource estimate and potentially expand the Getty North porphyry copper deposit. Getty plans to complete up to 16,000 metres of drilling on resource and exploration targets in its 2026 program. A total of 14 holes have been completed at Getty North to date and results from the first three holes are reported here:

• GN26-01 (resource confirmation):
  • 342 metres (m) of 0.50 per cent copper (Cu), 87 parts per million (ppm) molybdenum (Mo) and 0.8 gram per tonne (g/t) silver (Ag) from nine m depth (oxide to 39 m);
  • Including 108 m of 0.70 per cent Cu, 90 ppm Mo and 1.0 g/t Ag from 12 m;
  • And including 135 m of 0.55 per cent Cu, 132 ppm Mo and 1.0 g/t Ag from 186 m;
• GN26-03 (expansion):
  • 170.8 m of 0.24 per cent Cu, 50 ppm Mo and 0.3 g/t Ag from 408.2 m downhole (approximately 300 m below surface);
  • Including 45.9 m of 0.40 per cent Cu, 133 ppm Mo and 0.4 g/t Ag from 408.2 m;
• GN26-04 (resource confirmation):
  • 278 m of 0.38 per cent Cu, 46 ppm Mo and 0.4 g/t Ag from 22 m depth;
  • Including 150 m of 0.51 per cent Cu, 58 ppm Mo and 0.5 g/t Ag from 66 m.

"These initial results from Getty North highlight the potential of our Highland Valley district claim package. Our near-term focus is improving the data quality for Getty North for a future resource and seeking to expand the size of the deposit. The drill results demonstrate mineralization that is notably higher grade than surrounding mining operations and hole GN26-03 is a 65 m stepout beyond previous drilling suggesting the potential to add tonnes at Getty North. Drilling is ongoing at Getty South and we are advancing a portfolio of exploration targets across the district to be ready for drilling in the fall. Assays from this program are expected to be received throughout the summer," said chief executive officer Ryan O'Regan.

Geological background

The drill holes encountered copper mineralization occurring predominantly as sulphides, mainly chalcopyrite with local bornite, in vein stockworks and sheeted vein zones and disseminations associated with a multiphase porphyry intrusion, consistent with historical logs and the company's relogging work. GN26-01 encountered a short interval of oxidized copper mineralization near surface, to be more fully characterized by continuing sequential leach assaying. Comparable mineralization was encountered in GN26-02; however, final QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) review for that hole is pending so it is not reported in this news release.

Holes GN26-01 and GN26-04 are the first of a planned eight resource confirmation holes. They drill down the plunge of the deposit to collect a multielement assay suite with a full QA/QC protocol that will be used to upgrade the historical resource estimate to a modern standard. The holes intersected grades and widths that are consistent with expectations, based on grade models generated from historical drill hole data. The Getty North deposit is approximately 350 m wide east-west and 500 m wide north-south, and remains open downplunge. True width of mineralization in the drill holes will be determined once geological modelling is completed but at present is not known.

GN26-03 is an expansion hole that was drilled as a more than 65 m downplunge stepout beneath historical drilling and indicates the continuation of mineralization at depth, which remains open. The relatively sharp increase in grade marking the start of the intercept in this hole occurs at a fault, highlighting the potential to identify fault-offset mineralization nearby. Similarly, the relatively sharp decreases in grade at depth in GN26-01 and GN26-04 are interpreted to be in part fault related and occur southeast of the cross-section line. Drilling is continuing to complete an updated geological model and fully characterize the geometry and structural controls of mineralization.

Outlook

An additional 11 holes for a total of 7,377 m have been completed at Getty North to date. Assay results and/or QA/QC review are pending for these holes, and sampling remains continuing for some. Drilling is also ongoing at Getty South.

Sampling and assay protocols

Reported intervals represent drilled widths and not true widths. Drill holes were sampled at continuous three m intervals, though samples are shorter to accommodate geological boundaries. Samples were halved by core saw on site, with one-half sent to ALS Laboratories in Kamloops or North Vancouver for preparation, and pulps were assayed in North Vancouver. Samples were prepared and assayed following ALS method codes: PREP-31, ME-MS61 and Au-ICP21. Selected samples were also assayed by sequential leach package Cu-PKG06LI, for which a split of the pulp was analyzed at ALS Laboratories in Lima, Peru. The company followed a QA/QC program involving the use of blanks, standards and duplicates.

Share consolidation

At the company's annual general and special shareholders meeting held on June 9, 2026, the company voted to effect the previously announced share consolidation at a consolidation ratio of one postconsolidation common share for up to five preconsolidation common shares. The company anticipates announcing the effective date of the share consolidation shortly.

Omnibus equity incentive compensation plan

In addition, at the meeting, the company received shareholder approval for a new form of omnibus equity incentive plan to replace its 10-per-cent rolling stock option plan originally adopted on May 5, 2025. Disclosure of the omnibus plan and the company's former option plan is contained in the information circular dated May 8, 2026, sent to shareholders for the meeting.

The omnibus plan is a rolling up-to-10-per-cent security-based compensation plan, as defined in Policy 4.4, Security Based Compensation of the TSX Venture Exchange, pursuant to which the number of common shares in the capital of the company that are issuable upon the exercise of equity awards granted under the omnibus plan shall not exceed 10 per cent of the issued and outstanding shares of the company as at the date of any award grant, subject to adjustment as provided in the omnibus plan.

The plan remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange and must be reapproved by shareholders on an annual basis, beginning at the company's next annual meeting of shareholders in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
