CopperEx Resources Corporation announced the awarding of a drill contract for the inaugural drill campaign at the Company's flagship Exploradora Norte Project, Northern Chile. CopperEx plans to execute approximately 1,250 meters of drilling centered on the Franja del Oro target, part of an approximately 15-kilometer-long gold enrichment zone located in the northwestern part of the 23 by 13- kilometer (20,800 hectare) Exploradora Norte Project. The contractor has fully mobilized, and the first three drill holes have been completed.

Highlights: CopperEx has awarded the drill contract for its inaugural Drill Campaign at its flagship Exploradora Norte Property. The Drill Contractor has fully mobilized, camp is operational and three of eight planned drill holes have been drilled. Approximately 1,250 meters of RC drilling is planned on the Franja del Oro target, which is part of an extensive north-trending array of structurally and lithologically controlled sediment hosted gold mineralized zones in a distal porphyry geological setting.

Historic drilling in this area by Aur Resources /Arizona Star returned the following results: AP-01: 65m @ 1.59gpt of gold (starting at 4m),AP-02: 60m @ 2.02gpt of gold (starting at 59m), AP-10: 24m @ 1.22gpt of gold (starting at 94m). CopperEx has advanced the Agua de la Piedra and Sorpresa targets within the Franja del Oro area, to drill testing through systematic lithological and structural mapping and surface geochemical sampling and has now expanded the gold mineralized footprint of this target to approximately 15 kilometers (north-south) by 3.5 kilometers (east-west). The Franja del Oro target contains sediment hosted gold mineralization, replacement textures and alteration consistent with epithermal gold deposits that form distal to a porphyry system, with gold values up to 3.97 ppm Au3 at ADLP & 4.57 ppm Au3 at Sorpresa (Figures 2-4).

CopperEx has an Option Agreement for the 20,800-hectare Exploradora Norte property, for an earn in of 65% with a preferred option for an additional 35%. The property is located along the prolific West Fissure fault system in northern Chile, north of El Salvador and south of Escondida at 3,400 meters above sea level in the Chilean pre-cordillera. The property has a year-round operating climate with good access.

All core samples will be sent to AAA CHILE Ltd. ("AAA") in Santiago Chile, for preparation and analysis. AAA meets all requirements of International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 9001:2015 for analytical procedures. Reverse circulation ("RC") interval chips will be split and sampled over two metre intervals.

Samples will be analyzed using AAA's Fire Assay Fusion method (Au-AA24) with an AA finish for gold and by a 48-element four acid digest ICP-AES analysis (MS61) with additional analysis for Ore Grade Elements (ME-OG62) and Ore Grade Cu (Cu-OG62). Results will be reported in parts per million (ppm) and converted to percent (%), or grams per tonne (g/t) when applicable. In addition to AAA Laboratory quality assurance- quality control (QA/QC) protocols, CopperEx implements an internal QA/QC program that includes inserting fine and coarse blank samples, inserting OREAS series standards and duplicate samples in the field.
