Canadian Copper Executes Sale Agreements Valued at $2.1M

• Signed a Definitive Agreement to sell its Chester Project Option Agreement Rights for cash and shares totaling $1,395,000^1,2.
• Signed a Definitive Agreement to sell its Turgeon Project Option Agreement Rights for cash and shares totaling $675,000^1,2.
• Canadian Copper increases its focus on the highly prospective Murray Brook West exploration property that is contiguous to its 100% owned large Murray Brook deposit, New Brunswick's largest undeveloped open pit polymetallic resource. (See Figure A).

Toronto, March 4, 2024 - Canadian Copper Inc. (CSE: CCI) ("Canadian Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed two separate conditional sale agreements to sell and transfer its Option Agreement rights for the Chester and Turgeon Projects located in New Brunswick, Canada, for total possible consideration of $2,160,000^1,2 in cash and shares.

"Focus is essential when navigating the current capital markets situation for most junior miners in Canada today. We believe this strategic divestment achieves two objectives for us. First, it enables Canadian Copper to allocate capital exclusively on the advanced large open pit Murray Brook deposit and surrounding exploration ground, while still participate in Chester and Turgeon resource growth through Raptor Resources shares. Second, this transaction will strengthen Canadian Copper's balance sheet without shareholder dilution." Simon Quick, CEO of Canadian Copper.
