Getty Copper Inc. has returned initial assay results from its 2026 drilling at the Getty South target within the Getty Project in British Columbia's Highland Valley District, highlighted by hole GS26-02 intersecting 68.5 metres grading 0.81% copper from 39.5 metres depth.

The program marks the first significant drilling at Getty South in approximately 30 years. Hole GS26-01 returned 184 metres grading 0.37% copper from 110 metres depth. Mineralization has been extended 72 metres below historical intercepts, and the broader Induced Polarization geophysical anomaly remains open to the north, south, and at depth.

“These first results from Getty South exceeded our expectations. Unlike the drilling at Getty North, the Getty South target is a lot less understood, with limited core available, and historic holes dating as far back as the 1950's missing location, survey or assay data. This program is the first significant modern drilling at Getty South in approximately thirty years. Drillholes GS26-01 and GS26-02 both test a geophysical anomaly that is open beneath the historic mine workings. They demonstrate both bulk intercepts and high-grade zones, with copper grades that are markedly higher than the mined grades within the Highland Valley District. A pattern of stepout assay results is pending to define the orientations of the higher grades, which remain open to the north, south and at depth.” — Ryan O'Regan, Chief Executive Officer

Assay results are pending for 11 additional completed drill holes at Getty South and three holes at Getty North. Getty Copper is preparing for a fully funded 4,000 to 6,000-metre fall drilling program scheduled to commence in October 2026 across Getty North and Getty South.
