Kutcho Copper Mobilizes for 2026 Drill Program

Kutcho Copper Corp. (TSXV: KC) (OTCQX: KCCFF) ("Kutcho Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to announce mobilization towards the start of its 2026 drill program at its feasibility stage, high-grade copper-zinc development project (the "Project") located in Northwest British Columbia.

Wildlife preclearing surveys, archaeology surveys, pad clearing and construction is underway. All preparation activities will culminate with two drill rigs to commence drilling in mid-July.

Vince Sorace, President & CEO of Kutcho Copper stated: "the Company's 2026 exploration program is designed to drill test the Hamburger, Gap and Esso West targets. 11 drill holes are planned, all to be accompanied by down-hole EM surveys which will greatly enhance our ability to vector in on these priority targets. We have a clear exploration initiative - a goal to double the size of the current resource, potentially adding significant value and expanding mine life as we move towards a construction decision.

The prospective, near-planar Kutcho time horizon extends for over 12km along strike, and includes the Hamburger, Gap and Esso West targets. These are untested ZTEM conductivity highs near to the known mineralization - supported by geology, magnetic and seismic data to 850-metre depth. The Hamburger VMS target covers an area of 2.8km 2 - more than double that of the defined mineral resource at the Main deposit. The Gap target covers an area of 1.3km 2 at the confluence of two important conductivity trends. Esso West is a high priority drill target covering an area of 1,900m strike by 500m down dip (an area 4 times larger than the Esso Deposit)."
