Coast Copper Corp. has completed the purchase of an adjacent mineral tenure at its 100% owned Copper Kettle property on northern Vancouver Island, bringing in historical drill data from three vertical diamond drill holes totaling 458.7 metres completed by BHP in 1979 and 1989.

The newly acquired historical information is being integrated directly into Coast Copper's ongoing evaluation of the exploration opportunity at Copper Kettle. Prior technical work at the project included a 14-square-kilometre Audio Magneto Telluric geophysical survey, which mapped subsurface characteristics, alongside the submission of digitized datasets to Moose Mountain Technical Services for detailed three-dimensional geological modelling and interpretation.

The Copper Kettle property is positioned on northern Vancouver Island within the Island Copper Belt between the past-producing Island Copper Mine and Northisle Copper and Gold's North Island project. To advance the asset further, Coast Copper has scheduled a detailed Induced Polarization survey followed by drilling at the property.

In a separate portfolio update, Coast Copper has fulfilled the final requirement of an option agreement originally announced on August 14, 2024, by issuing 250,000 common shares of the company to earn a 100% interest in claims adjacent to its 100% owned Sully property.
