NorthWest Copper intersects 41.7 meters of 1.13% CuEq at Kwanika North Pit Extension, B.C

• Northwest Copper reported initial 2026 drilling at its 100%-owned Kwanika project in British Columbia, targeting the North Pit Extension Zone.
• Hole K-26-303 intersected 41.7 meters grading 0.40% copper and 0.67 g/t gold, or 1.13% copper-equivalent, from 72.6 meters.
• Early results from four holes support west-directed drilling to improve geological continuity, with a higher gold-to-copper ratio flagged as economically important.
• The program is expected to run about 12,000 meters across roughly 40 holes to upgrade and potentially expand resources in pit, extension, and western zones.
• Work on the Kwanika-Stardust preliminary economic assessment is taking longer than planned as mine sequencing and processing options are re-evaluated.
