Coppernico Metals Inc. (TSX: COPR) (OTCQB: CPPMF) (FSE: 9I3) is pleased to announce the successful closing of the Company’s previously announced upsized Listed Issuer Financing Exemption private placement offering. The company issued 15,714,286 units at a price of C$0.35 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$5,500,000.

Each Unit consists of one common share and one Share purchase warrant. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at a price of C$0.50 until June 26, 2028. The use of proceeds of the Offering is as described in the Company’s Amended and Restated LIFE Offering Document filed under its profile on www.sedarplus.ca.

Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO of Coppernico, commented, “We appreciate the strong support from both existing shareholders and new investors who participated in the oversubscribed funding. The financing is timely, with several key near-term milestones being pursued relative to completing key permits and other initiatives for our next phase of growth and an exciting second half of 2026 for the Company.”

In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company paid cash finders’ fees of C$282,012 and issued 805,747 finders’ warrants to eligible Canadian registrants, including 3L Capital Inc., which acted as primary financial advisor to the Company in connection with the Offering.
