NORTHISLE COMMENCES TRADING ON THE OTCQX MARKET UNDER THE SYMBOL NTCPF

Effective today, Northisle Copper and Gold Inc.'s common shares will begin trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol NTCPF. Northisle maintains its primary listing on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol NCX.

Sam Lee, president and chief executive officer, stated: "We are excited to begin trading on OTCQX, which will provide greater accessibility and visibility for Northisle among U.S. [United States] investors as we continue advancing our compelling North Island copper-gold project. With a recently completed PEA [preliminary economic assessment] outlining a $2-billion after-tax NPV [net present value] and a 29-per-cent IRR [internal rate of return], and a 2025 exploration program already under way targeting higher-margin zones and new porphyry centres, Northisle is at an inflection point. Our focus on responsible development, stakeholder engagement and district-scale opportunity in a Tier 1 jurisdiction positions us to deliver long-term value. We look forward to welcoming new shareholders to participate in this exciting phase of growth."

Upgrading to the OTCQX Best Market is an important step for companies seeking to provide transparent trading for their U.S. investors. For companies listed on a qualified international exchange, streamlined market standards enable them to utilize their home-market reporting to make their information available in the U.S. To qualify for the OTCQX Best Market, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws. U.S. investors can find current financial disclosure and real-time Level 2 quotes for the company on the OTC Markets website.
