Pecoy Copper Corp. has reported assay results from six diamond drill holes totaling 5,678.3 metres at its 100%-owned Pecoy Copper-Gold-Molybdenum-Silver Project in southern Peru, highlighted by hole PEC26-072 returning 804.0 metres grading 0.34% copper, 0.08 g/t gold, 1.19 g/t silver and 0.007% molybdenum from 24.0 metres at the South Breccia target.

The program's results are led by PEC26-072, which delivers a third broad copper-gold intercept at South Breccia. The interval includes 485.2 metres grading 0.40% copper, 0.09 g/t gold, 1.36 g/t silver and 0.007% molybdenum from 244.8 metres, alongside a higher-grade core of 100.8 metres grading 0.56% copper and 0.13 g/t gold from 608.5 metres. Collared approximately 166 metres west of PEC25-066, the hole supports lateral continuity and westward expansion potential.

Outside South Breccia, hole PEC26-067 returned the strongest near-surface copper result in the batch from the Northwest target area, intersecting 209.0 metres at 0.40% copper from 15.0 metres. This shallow interval includes 137.0 metres at 0.50% copper, 42.3 metres at 1.01% copper and an 11.1-metre sub-interval grading 1.90% copper from 58.0 metres. Below the resource pit shell, a deeper interval returned 296.0 metres at 0.24% copper and 0.009% molybdenum to the end of the 1,040-metre hole.

The six completed holes also tested the Centre-of-Pit and North-Central target areas. Hole PEC26-069 intersected 119.0 metres at 0.30% copper from 29.0 metres, while hole PEC26-071 returned 101.4 metres at 0.34% copper from 130.0 metres. In the North-Central sector, hole PEC26-070 intersected 345.0 metres grading 0.25% copper from 424.0 metres, including 194.65 metres grading 0.30% copper.

The flagship Pecoy Project hosts an inferred mineral resource of 865 million tonnes at 0.34% copper, with approximately 20% of the planned 35,000-metre 2026 drill program received to date.

“PEC26-072 adds a third broad copper-gold intercept at South Breccia, which has now delivered broad mineralization from three separate collar locations and continues to demonstrate expansion potential to the west. Just as importantly, PEC26-067 returned 209 metres at 0.40% copper from only 15 metres, including 50 metres at 0.91% copper and 11.1 metres at 1.90% copper.”

Assay results are currently pending or in progress for nine additional drill holes at the project, while three further holes remain actively in progress as the company advances its 2026 exploration campaign.
