(TSXV: GTC) (OTCQX: GTCDF) (\"Getty\" or the \"Company\") is pleased\nto report the initial assay results from its 2026 drilling at the Getty South\ntarget, part of the Company's Getty project in the Highland Valley District of\nBritish Columbia. Drilling at Getty South has returned broad intervals of\ncopper mineralization, including higher-grade zones near surface, confirming\nand expanding mineralization identified by historical drilling.\n\nThese results represent the first significant drilling at Getty South in 30\nyears and support the Company's ongoing work towards building a modern mineral\nresource base and discovering additional copper mineralization across the\nProject.\n\n\"These first results from Getty South exceeded our expectations. Unlike the\ndrilling at Getty North, the Getty South target is a lot less understood, with\nlimited core available, and historic holes dating as far back as the 1950's\nmissing location, survey or assay data. This program is the first significant\nmodern drilling at Getty South in approximately thirty years. Drillholes\nGS26-01 and GS26-02 both test a geophysical anomaly that is open beneath the\nhistoric mine workings. They demonstrate both bulk intercepts and high-grade\nzones, with copper grades that are markedly higher than the mined grades\nwithin the Highland Valley District. A pattern of stepout assay results is\npending to define the orientations of the higher grades, which remain open to\nthe north, south and at depth.\" - CEO, Ryan O'Regan\n\nResults:\n\nGS26-01:\n* 184m of 0.37% Cu and 0.4 g/t Ag from 110m depth\n* Including 28m of 0.83% Cu and 0.3 g/t Ag from 113m* Which includes 10m of\n1.90% Cu and 0.7 g/t Ag from 113m\nGS26-02:\n* 68.5m of 0.81% Cu and 0.3 g/t Ag from 39.5m depth\n* Including 13.8m of 1.83% Cu and 0.4 g/t Ag from 43.7m\nDrilling at Getty South was designed to confirm and expand zones of\nhigher-copper grade, test exploration targets based on the Company's new\ninterpretations of historical data and develop a new geological model for the\ntarget to support exploration and future resource modeling. Assays are pending\nfor 11 additional holes that were completed at Getty South as part of the\nspring program.\n\n(https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12291/312556_gettyfig109012026.jpg)\n\nFigure 1: Cross Section through the Trojan Zone at Getty South, showing 2026\nand historical drilling and an IP chargeability inversion (50m slice).\n\nTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:\nhttps://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12291/312556_gettyfig109012026.jpg\n\nGeological Background:\n\nCopper mineralization in the drill hole occurs as relatively coarse-grained\n(to several centimeters) chalcopyrite and minor bornite in veins and\nhydrothermal breccia cement. The mineralization and associated hydrothermal\nbrecciation are developed within a larger breccia body which encompasses most\nof the Getty South target area, based on historical mapping and relogging of\nlimited historical core. This larger breccia zone has a matrix predominantly\nof rock flour and contains clasts of older host equigranular intrusive rock\nand porphyry intrusions, as well as juvenile flow-banded porphyry intrusive\nclasts interpreted to be synchronous with the breccia-forming event. Both the\nbreccias and mineralization are interpreted to have a porphyry-related origin.\n\nThe true width of mineralization in the drill holes is yet to be determined.\nLocal supergene oxidation of copper mineralization is present near surface and\nalong faults and will be more fully characterized by ongoing sequential leach\nassaying. The Company collects a multi-element assay suite with a full QA/QC\nprotocol that may be used to support future mineral resource estimation work.\n\n(https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12291/312556_cf010c2a14013a25_002full.jpg)\n\nFigure 2: Massive chalcopyrite and specular hematite at 45.2 m in GS26-02,\nwithin a 1m sample grading 9.87% Cu.
