(TSX:KRY.V)\n(NSX:KYX) (OTCQX:KRYXF) (“Koryx” or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce\nassay results from 19 drill holes (8,586m) received as part of the ongoing\ninfill and expansion drill program on the wholly-owned Haib Copper Project\n(“Haib” or the “Project”) in southern Namibia. Haib is a massive,\ndisseminated porphyry Cu deposit with associated Mo and Au and is envisaged to\nproduce a Cu and Mo concentrate via large-scale open pit mining and\nconventional sulphide milling and flotation.\n\nHeye Daun, Koryx Copper’s President & CEO commented: “These results\ncontinue the trend of recent months, with exceptional widths at consistent and\nregular higher grades above the average MRE grade. HM167 returned 969m at\n0.27% CuEq from surface, which is our longest mineralised intersection at Haib\nto date. HM185 delivered 236m at 0.57% CuEq and HM177 returned 30m at 1.10%\nCuEq from only 8m depth again demonstrating the high-grade potential of the\nsystem. With this batch, our infill drilling is nearing completion, and\nresults continue to trend to the upside ahead of the expected late 2026\nmineral resource update.”\n\nInfill and Expansion Drill Results\n\nTarget Area 1:\n\nHM160 was drilled along the eastern edge of Target 1, results in the upper\nportion of the hole correlate well with the existing model. While higher\ngrades were anticipated at depth, the intersections returned are significantly\nwider and higher grade than expected, including 74m at 0.54% Cu, comprising 6m\nat 1.36% Cu (0.36g/t Au), and a further 8m at 1.69% Cu. Tungsten (W) was\nencountered at elevated grades over two 2m intervals, returning 994ppm and\n313ppm respectively. Mo grades are very low across the full length of the\nhole.\n\nHM169 is located north of the Volstruis River, results confirm the down-dip\nextension of mineralization in this area and correlate well with the current\nmodel. Consistent with the broader trend in this area, Mo grades remain very\nlow (<20ppm), while two 2m intervals returned 0.13g/t and 0.28g/t Au.\n\nHM170 was drilled in the south of Target 1, results indicate that higher-grade\nCu mineralization extends further south than currently modelled. Cu is well\ndeveloped over the first 164m of the hole, including 24m at 0.35% Cu and 56m\nat 0.38% Cu, with several intervals exceeding 0.5% Cu. Mo grades are low but\nincrease with depth, and gold is present, with two 2m intervals exceeding\n0.1g/t Au.\n\nHM177 is located in the centre of Target 1, this infill hole is spatially\nconsistent with the model but returned grades significantly higher than\nexpected. A 30m intersection from 8m downhole averaging 1.06% Cu is\nexceptional, containing two 2m intervals grading over 4% Cu — among the\nhighest grades returned to date at Haib. At depth, a 64m interval averaged\n0.43% Cu, including 6m at 1.86% Cu with 1,128ppm Mo, and deeper still a\nfurther 10m interval averaged 1.23% Cu, including two intervals grading over\n2% Cu. Gold grades increase from 252m downhole, including 4m at 0.27g/t Au\n(316m downhole) and 2m at 0.36g/t Au (408m downhole). Sporadic W is present at\nhigh grades to 116m downhole, and a 4m interval returned 10g/t silver (Ag) at\n316m downhole.\n\nHM181 was drilled in the south of Target 1 to better define the spatial limits\nof mineralization, this hole returned very low grades across all metals (Cu,\nMo, Au) for its full length, confirming that it lies outside Target 1\nmineralization.\n\nTarget Area 2:\n\nHM159 was drilled near the Quartz Vein that separates Target 1 and Target 2,\nintersecting it approximately 142m downhole, Cu results are consistent with\nexpectations. In the deeper portion of the hole, W is well developed,\nreturning 6m at 751ppm (574m downhole) and 30m at 139ppm W (604m downhole). Mo\ngrades increase from 250m downhole.\n\nHM164 is located in the southwest of Target 2, this infill hole returned Cu\ngrades consistent with expectations. Mo grades to approximately 800m downhole\nare strong, materially improving the Cu-equivalent grade over this interval.\n\nHM165 was drilled on the same section line as HM159, this hole begins in\nTarget 1 mineralization before passing through the Quartz Vein into Target 2.\nCu grades are lower than modelled between 36m and 74m downhole but are\notherwise consistent with expectations. Mo grades are elevated between 186m\nand 314m downhole but low elsewhere. W occurs in multiple >10m intervals\ngrading above 100ppm within the upper 294m of the hole, the widest being 12m\nat 192ppm and 18m at 118ppm. Gold grades are very low throughout.\n\n\n\nFigure 1: Plan view indicating recent drill hole locations. Results indicated\nin black are shown on the long section below\n\n\n\nFigure 2. Long section showing seventeen drillhole intersections relative to\nthe model for CuEq% Intercepts\n\nHM167 is located 70m west of HM159 and HM165, this hole remains within Target\n2 mineralization for its full length despite deviating eastwards at depth. Cu\ngrades correlate well with the current model, while Mo grades are notably\nhigher and a significant contributor to CuEq grades. Gold grades are low, and\nW occurs sporadically in 2m intervals above 100ppm throughout the hole.\n\nHM168 was drilled 60m north of HM167 along the same section line, this infill\nhole returned excellent Cu results consistent with the current model. Mo\ngrades are again very high, though in places associated with low Cu grades —\nfor example, averaging 507ppm Mo against only 0.16% Cu between 392m and 426m\ndownhole. Gold is present, with 2m at 2.58g/t Au (596m downhole) and 2m at\n0.46g/t Au (594m downhole).\n\nHM171 was drilled in the north of Target 2, as expected this hole intersected\nthe Cu-depleted East-West Fault Zone that separates Targets 2 and 3. Notably,\nthe upper, higher-grade zones intersected lie outside the current resource\nmodel and represent potential for a significant tonnage gain. Mo and gold\ngrades are very low, consistent with this area.\n\nHM175 is located 35m east of HM171, Cu results correlate well with the\nexisting model and may support a marginal tonnage gain. As expected, Mo and\ngold grades are very low.\n\nTarget Area 3:\n\nHM150 was drilled in the south of Target 3, Cu results are consistent with\nexpectations. Mo grades are generally elevated but often associated with\nlower-grade Cu (<0.20% Cu). Gold is practically absent.\n\nHM166 is located in the west of Target 3, where higher-grade mineralization\noccurs across multiple, steeply dipping, parallel zones, Cu results reflect\nthis trend and correlate with the current model. Mo grades are good,\nsupplementing the Cu-equivalent grade throughout, while gold remains low.\n\nHM173 is positioned on the western edge of Target 3, results confirm that\nhigher-grade Cu mineralization extends further west than modelled. The deeper\nintervals (30m at 0.30% Cu (94m downhole) and 92m at 0.34% Cu (176m downhole))\nboth lie outside the current model and represent potential for a significant\ntonnage gain in this region. Mo and gold grades are low throughout.\n\nHM174 was drilled 200m north of HM173 on the same section line, Cu results\ncorrelate well with the existing model. Mo grades can be locally strong\n(>100ppm), but these intervals are narrow and sporadic. Gold grades are low\nthroughout.\n\nHM185 was drilled into the centre of Target 3 mineralization, this infill hole\nreturned exceptional results consistent with the current model. Mo occurs at\nhigh levels throughout, though not always associated with higher-grade Cu. The\nreported 236m averaging 0.51% Cu (0.57% CuEq) is among the best intersections\nreturned to date at Haib in terms of contained metal, comprising numerous wide\nintervals above 0.6% Cu, including 10m at 1.00% Cu. W is present at\nconcentrations above 100ppm, though these intervals are narrow and sporadic.\n\nTarget Area 4:\n\nHM162 is collared well south of Target 4 and drilled northward into the\ntarget, this hole's higher-grade deep intersections correlate well with the\ndown-dip projection of known Target 4 mineralization. Notably, 56m at 0.35% Cu\n(124m downhole) represents entirely new Cu mineralization; while its extent is\nnot yet fully defined, this area represents a future resource-expansion\ntarget. Mo and gold grades are low throughout, although sporadic 2m W\nintervals above 200ppm were intersected.\n\nHM172 was drilled in the far south of Target 4, 8m at 0.37% Cu confirms the\npresence of, and tightens the drill spacing on, the higher-grade Cu zone\npreviously intersected in historical boreholes HB089 and HB091 in this region.\nMo and gold grades are low throughout.\n\nTable of Significant

True widths are unknown. Widths are interval widths and not true widths.\nThe reported intervals are calculated using the following parameters: 1. Only\nCuEq (%) was used to determine the intervals.\n2. The target composite grade is ≥0.30% CuEq.\n3. Composites start and end with samples ≥0.30% CuEq.\n4. Grades between 0.20% and 0.30% are included in interval but generally\nconstitute <40% of the interval.\n5. Consecutive samples between 0.20% and 0.30% should be fewer than 5 samples\n(10m).\n6. Grades below 0.20% are included but generally constitute <20% of the\ninterval.\n7. Consecutive grades <0.2% should be fewer than 2 samples (4m).\n \n2. Mineral Resource (MRE) copper equivalent (CuEq%) values have been\ncalculated using commodity type and price considering the relevant recovery\nrate. The following metal prices were used Cu US$4.54/lb; Mo US$22.68/lb; Au\nUS$4,000/oz along with the following recoveries indicated from test work, Cu\n89%; Mo 65% and Au 50%. The CuEq was then calculated using CuEq = [(Cu\ngrade/100 * 0.89 Cu recovery * 2204.62 * $4.54 Cu price/lb) + (Mo ppm/1000000\n* 0.65 Mo recovery * 2204.62 * $22.68 Mo price/lb) + (Au grade * 0.50 Au\nrecovery * 4000 Au price/oz / 31.1035)] / [0.89 Cu Recovery * 2204.62 * $4.54\nCu price/lb]\n3. Partial results previously reported\nQuality Assurance / Quality Control\n\nAll drill core is HQ sized at collar and reduced to NQ size in fresh rock.

Haib is a large\ncopper porphyry deposit in southern Namibia with significant gold and\nmolybdenum credits and a long history of exploration and project development\nby multiple operators.\n\nMore than 150,000m of drilling has been conducted at Haib since the 1970’s\nwith significant exploration programs led by companies including Falconbridge\n(1964), Rio Tinto (1975), Teck (2014) and Koryx Copper (2021-2026). Extensive\nfurther drilling, metallurgical testing and various technical studies have\nbeen completed at Haib. Additional studies are underway aiming to demonstrate\nHaib as a future long-life, low-cost, low-risk open pit, sulphide milling and\nflotation copper project with additional heap leach potential.\n\nMineralisation at Haib is typical of a porphyry copper deposit and is\ndominantly chalcopyrite with minor bornite and chalcocite present and only\nminor secondary copper minerals at surface due to the arid environment. Haib\nis one of only a few examples of a Paleoproterozoic porphyry copper deposit in\nthe world. Due to its age, the deposit has been subjected to multiple\nmetamorphic and deformation events but still retains many of the classic\nmineralisation and alteration features typical of these deposits.\n\nFurther details of the Haib Copper Project are available in the technical\nreport titled “March 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate Haib Copper Project,\nNamibia, National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report” dated effective March\n16, 2026. The report and other information are available on the Company's\nwebsite at www.koryxcopper.com and under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at\nwww.sedarplus.ca.\n\nAdditional information is also available by contacting the Company:\n\nAideen McDermott        \nInvestor Relations \namcdermott@koryxcopper.com\n+1-416-837-7680\n\nNeither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that\nterm is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts\nresponsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.\n\nCautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information\n\nThis press release contains \"forward-looking information\" within the meaning\nof applicable Canadian securities legislation.

(TSX:KRY.V)\n(NSX:KYX) (OTCQX:KRYXF) (“Koryx” or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce\nassay results from 19 drill holes (8,586m) received as part of the ongoing\ninfill and expansion drill program on the wholly-owned Haib Copper Project\n(“Haib” or the “Project”) in southern Namibia. Haib is a massive,\ndisseminated porphyry Cu deposit with associated Mo and Au and is envisaged to\nproduce a Cu and Mo concentrate via large-scale open pit mining and\nconventional sulphide milling and flotation.\n\nHeye Daun, Koryx Copper’s President & CEO commented: “These results\ncontinue the trend of recent months, with exceptional widths at consistent and\nregular higher grades above the average MRE grade. HM167 returned 969m at\n0.27% CuEq from surface, which is our longest mineralised intersection at Haib\nto date. HM185 delivered 236m at 0.57% CuEq and HM177 returned 30m at 1.10%\nCuEq from only 8m depth again demonstrating the high-grade potential of the\nsystem. With this batch, our infill drilling is nearing completion, and\nresults continue to trend to the upside ahead of the expected late 2026\nmineral resource update.”\n\nInfill and Expansion Drill Results\n\nTarget Area 1:\n\nHM160 was drilled along the eastern edge of Target 1, results in the upper\nportion of the hole correlate well with the existing model. While higher\ngrades were anticipated at depth, the intersections returned are significantly\nwider and higher grade than expected, including 74m at 0.54% Cu, comprising 6m\nat 1.36% Cu (0.36g/t Au), and a further 8m at 1.69% Cu. Tungsten (W) was\nencountered at elevated grades over two 2m intervals, returning 994ppm and\n313ppm respectively. Mo grades are very low across the full length of the\nhole.\n\nHM169 is located north of the Volstruis River, results confirm the down-dip\nextension of mineralization in this area and correlate well with the current\nmodel. Consistent with the broader trend in this area, Mo grades remain very\nlow (<20ppm), while two 2m intervals returned 0.13g/t and 0.28g/t Au.\n\nHM170 was drilled in the south of Target 1, results indicate that higher-grade\nCu mineralization extends further south than currently modelled. Cu is well\ndeveloped over the first 164m of the hole, including 24m at 0.35% Cu and 56m\nat 0.38% Cu, with several intervals exceeding 0.5% Cu. Mo grades are low but\nincrease with depth, and gold is present, with two 2m intervals exceeding\n0.1g/t Au.\n\nHM177 is located in the centre of Target 1, this infill hole is spatially\nconsistent with the model but returned grades significantly higher than\nexpected. A 30m intersection from 8m downhole averaging 1.06% Cu is\nexceptional, containing two 2m intervals grading over 4% Cu — among the\nhighest grades returned to date at Haib. At depth, a 64m interval averaged\n0.43% Cu, including 6m at 1.86% Cu with 1,128ppm Mo, and deeper still a\nfurther 10m interval averaged 1.23% Cu, including two intervals grading over\n2% Cu. Gold grades increase from 252m downhole, including 4m at 0.27g/t Au\n(316m downhole) and 2m at 0.36g/t Au (408m downhole). Sporadic W is present at\nhigh grades to 116m downhole, and a 4m interval returned 10g/t silver (Ag) at\n316m downhole.\n\nHM181 was drilled in the south of Target 1 to better define the spatial limits\nof mineralization, this hole returned very low grades across all metals (Cu,\nMo, Au) for its full length, confirming that it lies outside Target 1\nmineralization.\n\nTarget Area 2:\n\nHM159 was drilled near the Quartz Vein that separates Target 1 and Target 2,\nintersecting it approximately 142m downhole, Cu results are consistent with\nexpectations. In the deeper portion of the hole, W is well developed,\nreturning 6m at 751ppm (574m downhole) and 30m at 139ppm W (604m downhole). Mo\ngrades increase from 250m downhole.\n\nHM164 is located in the southwest of Target 2, this infill hole returned Cu\ngrades consistent with expectations. Mo grades to approximately 800m downhole\nare strong, materially improving the Cu-equivalent grade over this interval.\n\nHM165 was drilled on the same section line as HM159, this hole begins in\nTarget 1 mineralization before passing through the Quartz Vein into Target 2.\nCu grades are lower than modelled between 36m and 74m downhole but are\notherwise consistent with expectations. Mo grades are elevated between 186m\nand 314m downhole but low elsewhere. W occurs in multiple >10m intervals\ngrading above 100ppm within the upper 294m of the hole, the widest being 12m\nat 192ppm and 18m at 118ppm. Gold grades are very low throughout.\n\n\n\nFigure 1: Plan view indicating recent drill hole locations. Results indicated\nin black are shown on the long section below\n\n\n\nFigure 2. Long section showing seventeen drillhole intersections relative to\nthe model for CuEq% Intercepts\n\nHM167 is located 70m west of HM159 and HM165, this hole remains within Target\n2 mineralization for its full length despite deviating eastwards at depth. Cu\ngrades correlate well with the current model, while Mo grades are notably\nhigher and a significant contributor to CuEq grades. Gold grades are low, and\nW occurs sporadically in 2m intervals above 100ppm throughout the hole.\n\nHM168 was drilled 60m north of HM167 along the same section line, this infill\nhole returned excellent Cu results consistent with the current model. Mo\ngrades are again very high, though in places associated with low Cu grades —\nfor example, averaging 507ppm Mo against only 0.16% Cu between 392m and 426m\ndownhole. Gold is present, with 2m at 2.58g/t Au (596m downhole) and 2m at\n0.46g/t Au (594m downhole).\n\nHM171 was drilled in the north of Target 2, as expected this hole intersected\nthe Cu-depleted East-West Fault Zone that separates Targets 2 and 3. Notably,\nthe upper, higher-grade zones intersected lie outside the current resource\nmodel and represent potential for a significant tonnage gain. Mo and gold\ngrades are very low, consistent with this area.\n\nHM175 is located 35m east of HM171, Cu results correlate well with the\nexisting model and may support a marginal tonnage gain. As expected, Mo and\ngold grades are very low.\n\nTarget Area 3:\n\nHM150 was drilled in the south of Target 3, Cu results are consistent with\nexpectations. Mo grades are generally elevated but often associated with\nlower-grade Cu (<0.20% Cu). Gold is practically absent.\n\nHM166 is located in the west of Target 3, where higher-grade mineralization\noccurs across multiple, steeply dipping, parallel zones, Cu results reflect\nthis trend and correlate with the current model. Mo grades are good,\nsupplementing the Cu-equivalent grade throughout, while gold remains low.\n\nHM173 is positioned on the western edge of Target 3, results confirm that\nhigher-grade Cu mineralization extends further west than modelled. The deeper\nintervals (30m at 0.30% Cu (94m downhole) and 92m at 0.34% Cu (176m downhole))\nboth lie outside the current model and represent potential for a significant\ntonnage gain in this region. Mo and gold grades are low throughout.\n\nHM174 was drilled 200m north of HM173 on the same section line, Cu results\ncorrelate well with the existing model. Mo grades can be locally strong\n(>100ppm), but these intervals are narrow and sporadic. Gold grades are low\nthroughout.\n\nHM185 was drilled into the centre of Target 3 mineralization, this infill hole\nreturned exceptional results consistent with the current model. Mo occurs at\nhigh levels throughout, though not always associated with higher-grade Cu. The\nreported 236m averaging 0.51% Cu (0.57% CuEq) is among the best intersections\nreturned to date at Haib in terms of contained metal, comprising numerous wide\nintervals above 0.6% Cu, including 10m at 1.00% Cu. W is present at\nconcentrations above 100ppm, though these intervals are narrow and sporadic.\n\nTarget Area 4:\n\nHM162 is collared well south of Target 4 and drilled northward into the\ntarget, this hole's higher-grade deep intersections correlate well with the\ndown-dip projection of known Target 4 mineralization. Notably, 56m at 0.35% Cu\n(124m downhole) represents entirely new Cu mineralization; while its extent is\nnot yet fully defined, this area represents a future resource-expansion\ntarget. Mo and gold grades are low throughout, although sporadic 2m W\nintervals above 200ppm were intersected.\n\nHM172 was drilled in the far south of Target 4, 8m at 0.37% Cu confirms the\npresence of, and tightens the drill spacing on, the higher-grade Cu zone\npreviously intersected in historical boreholes HB089 and HB091 in this region.\nMo and gold grades are low throughout.\n\nTable of Significant

True widths are unknown. Widths are interval widths and not true widths.\nThe reported intervals are calculated using the following parameters: 1. Only\nCuEq (%) was used to determine the intervals.\n2. The target composite grade is ≥0.30% CuEq.\n3. Composites start and end with samples ≥0.30% CuEq.\n4. Grades between 0.20% and 0.30% are included in interval but generally\nconstitute <40% of the interval.\n5. Consecutive samples between 0.20% and 0.30% should be fewer than 5 samples\n(10m).\n6. Grades below 0.20% are included but generally constitute <20% of the\ninterval.\n7. Consecutive grades <0.2% should be fewer than 2 samples (4m).\n \n2. Mineral Resource (MRE) copper equivalent (CuEq%) values have been\ncalculated using commodity type and price considering the relevant recovery\nrate. The following metal prices were used Cu US$4.54/lb; Mo US$22.68/lb; Au\nUS$4,000/oz along with the following recoveries indicated from test work, Cu\n89%; Mo 65% and Au 50%. The CuEq was then calculated using CuEq = [(Cu\ngrade/100 * 0.89 Cu recovery * 2204.62 * $4.54 Cu price/lb) + (Mo ppm/1000000\n* 0.65 Mo recovery * 2204.62 * $22.68 Mo price/lb) + (Au grade * 0.50 Au\nrecovery * 4000 Au price/oz / 31.1035)] / [0.89 Cu Recovery * 2204.62 * $4.54\nCu price/lb]\n3. Partial results previously reported\nQuality Assurance / Quality Control\n\nAll drill core is HQ sized at collar and reduced to NQ size in fresh rock. The\ncore was all logged, photographed, and cut in half with a diamond saw. Half of\nthe core was bagged and sent to ALS Laboratories Ltd. in Johannesburg, South\nAfrica for analysis (SANAS Accredited Testing Laboratory, No. T0387) and\nActLabs in Canada, while the other half was quartered with one quarter\narchived and stored on site for verification and reference purposes while the\nother quarter will be used for metallurgical test work. 33 elements are\nanalyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) utilizing a 4-acid digestion and\ngold is assayed for using a 30g fire assay method. Duplicate samples, blanks,\nand certified standards are included with every batch and are actively used to\nensure proper quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) The QA/QC\nfrequency is 1 in 20 for each of blanks, duplicates and standards. \n\nQualified Persons\n\nMr. Dean Richards, BSc. (Hons) Geology, Pr.Sci.Nat., MGSSA – is the\nQualified Person for the Haib Copper Project and has reviewed and approved the\nscientific and technical information in this news release and is a registered\nProfessional Natural Scientist with the South African Council for Natural\nScientific Professions (Pr.Sci.Nat. No. 400190/08). Mr. Richards is\nindependent of the Company and its mineral properties and is a Qualified\nPerson for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.\n\nAppointment of Head of Investor Relations\n\nThe Company is also pleased to announce that, subject to TSX Venture Exchange\n(the \"TSXV\") approval, it has entered into an investor relations consulting\nagreement (the \"Agreement\") with Ms. Aideen McDermott to provide investor\nrelations and corporate communications services to the Company. Under the\nAgreement, Ms. McDermott will oversee the Company's investor relations and\ncorporate communications functions. The Agreement has an initial term of 12\nmonths commencing August 1, 2026, under which the Company will pay Ms.\nMcDermott CAD$5,000 per month, with an option to renew monthly, unless\nterminated earlier per its terms. Ms. McDermott is also eligible to receive\nstock options at a later date. The Agreement remains subject to TSXV approval.\n\nBased in Toronto, ON, Ms. McDermott has a strong background in capital markets\nand investor relations, currently providing IR consulting services to junior\nmining companies in gold and copper exploration, as well as technology firms.\nPrior to that, she held roles on the equity sales desks at Beacon Securities\nand BMO Capital Markets.\n\nAbout Koryx Copper S.A.\n\nKoryx Copper S.A. is a Luxembourg domiciled copper development Company focused\non advancing its 100% owned Haib Copper Project in Namibia whilst also\nbuilding a portfolio of copper exploration licenses in Zambia. Haib is a large\ncopper porphyry deposit in southern Namibia with significant gold and\nmolybdenum credits and a long history of exploration and project development\nby multiple operators.\n\nMore than 150,000m of drilling has been conducted at Haib since the 1970’s\nwith significant exploration programs led by companies including Falconbridge\n(1964), Rio Tinto (1975), Teck (2014) and Koryx Copper (2021-2026). Extensive\nfurther drilling, metallurgical testing and various technical studies have\nbeen completed at Haib. Additional studies are underway aiming to demonstrate\nHaib as a future long-life, low-cost, low-risk open pit, sulphide milling and\nflotation copper project with additional heap leach potential.\n\nMineralisation at Haib is typical of a porphyry copper deposit and is\ndominantly chalcopyrite with minor bornite and chalcocite present and only\nminor secondary copper minerals at surface due to the arid environment. Haib\nis one of only a few examples of a Paleoproterozoic porphyry copper deposit in\nthe world. Due to its age, the deposit has been subjected to multiple\nmetamorphic and deformation events but still retains many of the classic\nmineralisation and alteration features typical of these deposits.\n\nFurther details of the Haib Copper Project are available in the technical\nreport titled “March 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate Haib Copper Project,\nNamibia, National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report” dated effective March\n16, 2026. The report and other information are available on the Company's\nwebsite at www.koryxcopper.com and under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at\nwww.sedarplus.ca.\n\nAdditional information is also available by contacting the Company:\n\nAideen McDermott        \nInvestor Relations \namcdermott@koryxcopper.com\n+1-416-837-7680\n\nNeither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that\nterm is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts\nresponsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.\n\nCautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information\n\nThis press release contains \"forward-looking information\" within the meaning\nof applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking information\nincludes, without limitation, statements regarding the future or prospects of\nthe Haib project or the Company, including prospective production rates and\nlife-of-mine, the timing of publishing a PFS, the commencement of trading of\nthe Shares under the new Company name, and the effective date of the new CUSIP\nand ISIN assigned to the Shares.
