COPAUR Minerals Inc. announced it has finalized plans for an upcoming 3,000 metre (m) combined reverse circulation (RC) and diamond core drilling program at the Company's Kinsley Mountain Gold Project (the "Kinsley Mountain Project" or "Kinsley Mountain") in Elko County, Nevada. Kinsley Project hosts current mineral resources comprising the high-grade sulphide Western Flank Zone and near surface oxide of 418,000 indicated ounces gold at 2.63 grams-per-tonne (g/t) gold, and 117,000 inferred ounces gold at 1.51 g/t gold1. Indicated resources are inclusive of 302,000 ounces averaging 6.11 g/t gold hosted within the Secret Canyon Shale at the Western Flank Zone.

The Kinsley Project was an historical past producer that yielded 138,000 ounces of near surface open pit oxide gold between 1995-1999. The 2023 Kinsley Mountain drill program will comprise up to 2,300 metres of RC and 1,200 m of diamond drilling comprising resource infill drilling of the high-grade gold Western Flank Zone (2 core holes for 700 m), near surface oxide-gold resource expansion and delineation (19 RC holes for 2,300 m) at the Main Pit North Oxide and Secret Spot targets, in addition to testing of new IP/chargeability anomaly located between the WFZ and Upper Ridge Pit area. The planned 2023 drilling is designed to follow up on the highly successful 49 hole, 18,000 metre 2020 drill campaign the results of which underscored the resource expansion potential that remains at Western Flank Zone, Main Pit North Oxide, and the Secret Spot targets with highlights including: Western Flank resource expansion drilling.

10.22 g/t gold over 6.1 metres within a broader zone grading 2.63 g/t gold (sulphide) over 38.10 metres in KMR20-017. 15.1 g/t gold (sULphide) over 7.6 metres lower zone, 9.08 g/t gold (s Pulphide) over 6.1 metres upper zone in KMR20-026. Main Pit North Oxide Target yields high-grade intercepts 75 m outside the current pit shell.

9.83 g/t gold over 7.6 metres high-grade shallow oxide.
