Coast Copper Corp. (TSX-V: COCO) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an asset purchase agreement on August 27, 2025 with Hi-View Resources Inc. (CSE:HVW), who will acquire a 100% interest in Coast Copper’s Borealis property located in the Toodoggone District in northcentral BC. In consideration, Hi-View will pay Coast Copper $500,000 in cash, issue 3,500,000 Hi-View common shares to Coast Copper at a deemed price of $0.25 per Consideration Share, and grant Coast Copper a bonus payment under certain conditions, as more fully described below. Coast Copper will also retain a 3% net smelter return royalty subject to buyout provisions as outlined below.

Adam Travis, CEO commented: “With the recent AuRORA discovery made by Amarc Resources Ltd. and Freeport-McMoRan Mineral Properties Canada Inc, the Toodoggone District has become one of the hottest exploration regions in Canada. The sale of one of our Toodoggone properties to Hi-View validates our strategy of acquiring underappreciated exploration properties throughout BC while we advance our core projects. Borealis is highly prospective for porphyry copper-gold, polymetallic and skarn targets and we are extremely excited to be able to participate in the upside of the district by becoming the largest shareholder of Hi-View as well as retaining a NSR royalty and potentially receiving a transaction bonus. We are committed to completing the first phase of exploration in September, which will include an airborne magnetic survey and further compilation, such that Hi-View will be in a position to quickly move towards ground geophysical surveys to expand and better define historical Induced Polarization geophysical anomalies prior to drill testing.”

The Property covers 9,106 hectares and is over 25 kilometers in length, located immediately west and adjacent to Amarc’s Joy property¹ and Centerra Gold Inc.’s Kemess mine¹ (see Figure 1). For more details on this Property as well as the two others in the district that Coast Copper continues to hold, please see the news release dated April 8, 2025.

Coast Copper’s Chair of the Board, Dr. Fletcher Morgan is the CEO of TDG Gold Corp., a company that has other interests in the Toodoggone District, and as a result recused himself from voting on this transaction, which received unanimous support from the rest of the Coast Copper Board.

Tim Thiessen, CFO commented: “Selling our Red Chris Properties in 2022 provided the Company with sufficient working capital such that we have not needed to raise any significant funds since then, while at the same time continuing to advance our core projects and acquire new ones. Adam Travis has a remarkable ability to locate, review and acquire prospective properties in strategic locations. The Hi-View transaction, with a value of over $1 million, will further assist Coast Copper in maintaining our working capital without diluting shareholders. We look forward to the future success of Hi-View as it advances exploration at the Borealis property.
