Highlights:

• Resource confirmation drilling demonstrates strong near-surface grade profile
• Expansion drilling extends mineralization at Getty North by 60 metres to over 230 metres beyond historical holes on 3 cross sections
• Assay results remain pending for 3 holes at Getty North and 13 holes at Getty South
• Spring drilling program for 10,807 metres is complete and Fall program to start in October

Getty Copper Inc. (TSX-V: GTC) is pleased to report a second batch of assay results from Getty North as part of its 2026 spring exploration program at the Getty Project in the Highland Valley District.

The results from these nine drill holes support the Company’s objective of upgrading the historical resource to a modern estimate and demonstrate the potential to expand the Getty North porphyry copper deposit. The holes are located on three cross sections through the deposit. Highlights include the following (see Table 1 and Figures 1, 2 and 3 for more).

“This second batch of results from our 2026 spring drilling program is validating the thesis we set out at the beginning of the year: confirm the historical resource, demonstrate the potential to grow it, and materially advance our understanding of the geology across the Getty mineral claims. At Getty North, we are seeing strong consistency with the historical results, compelling near-surface grades and mineralization extending well beyond previous drilling. Just as importantly, every hole is adding to our understanding of the system and helping us build a stronger geological foundation for the next phase of drilling.” – CEO, Ryan O’Regan

Outlook:

The spring drill program has now been completed, with a total of 28 drill holes (15 at Getty North and 13 at Getty South) totaling 10,807 metres. Assay results remain pending for three additional holes at Getty North and 13 holes at Getty South.

Lower cost drilling than budgeted allowed the Company to expand the meterage of this program to complete more holes beyond the initial planned 8,000-10,000 metres for the same budget. Results received to date from the first phase of the 2026 drilling program continue to demonstrate the scale, continuity, and expansion potential of the Getty North deposit. These and the pending results will be used to guide the Company’s geological modelling and evaluation of the Getty North and Getty South deposits.

The Company plans to complete up to an additional 5,000 metres of drilling during the 2026 exploration program, targeting both resource expansion and new exploration opportunities that are emerging from the Company’s continued evaluation of the district-scale exploration pipeline, including the pending results from a soil geochemical survey completed earlier this season.

Geological Background:

As in drill holes previously reported, copper sulfide mineralization occurs predominantly as chalcopyrite with local bornite, in vein stockworks, sheeted vein zones, and disseminations associated with a multiphase porphyry intrusion, consistent with historical logs and the Company’s relogging work.

GN26-02, -06, -08, -10, and -11 encountered intervals of oxidized copper mineralization near surface (the boundary is indicated by the dashed line in Figures 1 to 3), to be more fully characterized by ongoing sequential leach assaying and mineralogical work.

Resource confirmation holes were designed to drill down plunge of the deposit to collect a multi-element assay suite with a full QA/QC protocol that will be used to upgrade the historic resource estimate to a modern standard, and provide material for planned metallurgical work. All holes intersected grades and widths that are consistent with the Company’s expectations, based on grade models generated from historical drill hole data and the current geological understanding (Figure 1).

The Getty North deposit is approximately 350 metres wide east-west and 500 metres wide north-south in plan view, and comprises an approximately cylindrical body of Cu mineralization that remains open down plunge to the west. True width of mineralization in the drill holes will be determined upon completion of an updated geological model.

Sampling and Assay Protocols

Reported intervals represent drilled widths and not true widths. Drill holes were sampled at continuous 3m intervals, though samples may be shorter to accommodate geological boundaries. Samples were halved by core saw on site, with one half sent to ALS Laboratories in Kamloops or North Vancouver for preparation and pulps were assayed in North Vancouver. Samples were prepared and assayed following ALS method codes: PREP-31, ME-MS61, and Au-ICP21. Selected samples were also assayed by sequential leach package Cu-PKG06LI, for which a split of the pulp was analyzed at ALS Laboratories in Lima, Peru. The Company followed a QA/QC program involving the use of blanks, standards and duplicates.
