Faraday Copper Intersects 23.25 Metres at 1.58% Copper Within 57.73 Metres at 0.85% Copper in the Rum Area

VANCOUVER, November 19, 2024 - Faraday Copper Corp. ("Faraday" or the "Company") (TSX:FDY)(OTCQX:CPPKF) is pleased to announce the results of three drill holes from its ongoing Phase III drill program at the Copper Creek Project, located in Arizona ("Copper Creek"). One hole was drilled to target near-surface mineralization at the Rum area and two were drilled as reconnaissance holes in the American Eagle area, further testing the potential for near-surface mineralization.

Paul Harbidge, President and CEO, commented "It is encouraging to intersect strong near-surface mineralization with Faraday's first drill hole in the Rum area, which is 700 metres north of the current mineral resource. This result further supports the prospectivity along the interpreted Holy Joe Fault, which extends across the property. This fault and related structures controlled the emplacement of multiple breccias and porphyries, many of which remain untested and will be the focus of our ongoing drill program."

Highlights

(For true width information see Table 1.)

The Rum area is located approximately 700 m northwest of the resource area (Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5). It features several breccias and porphyries intruding Glory Hole volcanics over an area of approximately 250 m by 400 m, with copper oxide mineralization observed at surface. There is very limited historical drilling in this area with one vertical drill hole (RUM-1), drilled in the late 1990s, intercepting 48.8 m at 1.07% copper.

• Drill hole FCD-24-078 was collared in porphyry, approximately 20 m from the Rum breccia surface contact and drilled toward the northeast. It starts in granodiorite porphyry and intersects hydrothermal breccia from 16 m to 58 m. It crosses a fault and, in the footwall, enters Glory Hole volcanics, intruded by a granodiorite porphyry dyke from 68 m to 105 m. Copper oxide mineralization occurs in cavities and on fracture surfaces within the porphyry at the top of the hole, whereas secondary copper sulphides (chalcocite) are abundant from 25 m to 58 m.

The American Eagle area, as mapped on surface, covers approximately 800 m by 1,000 m and is host to numerous prospective breccias and porphyries which have strong copper geochemical signatures (Figures 1 and 3). These surface expressions locate above the large underground porphyry mineral resource, which is approximately 500 m to 1,100 m depth below surface. Historically, the near-surface mineralization was not adequately tested as previous drilling was vertical to steeply inclined. Mapped geology, isolated historical drill intercepts and historical small-scale mining highlight the potential for near-surface mineralization. The Company has reported assay results for thirteen drill holes from this area as part of the current program (for drill holes not reported herein, refer to news releases dated June 25, 2024, July 25, 2024, August 21, 2024, September 24, 2024, and October 17, 2024). These results provide a broad framework of the geology, structure, and alteration and confirm the potential for significant near-surface copper mineralization. Drilling continues in the area to test additional undrilled breccias and follow-up drilling on recent discoveries.

• Drill hole FCD-24-076 was collared approximately 400 m east of the American Eagle breccia and drilled steeply to the west. The dominant lithology throughout the hole is granodiorite. Mineralization occurs as chalcopyrite in early halo veins variably overprinted by quartz sericite pyrite alteration.

Next Steps

Phase III drilling continues with the current focus on near-surface mineralization in the American Eagle and Rum areas.

To date, through the combined Phase II and Phase III drill programs, which are not included in the Mineral Resource Estimate, the Company has released results from 68 drill holes as follows:

• 20 drill holes were step-out holes testing extensions to the mineral resource; and

• 7 drill holes were drilled within the resource area, targeting expansion of the higher-grade cores.

The Company expects to include over 30,000 metres of incremental drilling in a mineral resource update planned for 2025, with the new targets representing a significant opportunity to enhance the project value.

The assay results for additional completed drill holes will be released as they are received, analyzed and confirmed by the Company.

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance

All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company's geologists and the chain of custody from Copper Creek to the independent sample preparation facility, ALS Laboratories in Tucson, AZ, was continuously monitored. The samples were taken as ½ core, over 2 m core length. Samples were crushed, pulverized and sample pulps were analyzed using industry standard analytical methods including a 4-Acid ICP-MS multielement package and an ICP-AES method for high-grade copper samples. Gold was analyzed on a 30 g aliquot by fire assay with an ICP-AES finish. A certified reference sample was inserted every 20^th sample. Coarse and fine blanks were inserted every 20^th sample. Approximately 5% of the core samples were cut into ¼ core and submitted as field duplicates. On top of internal QA-QC protocol, additional blanks, reference materials and duplicates were inserted by the analytical laboratory according to their procedure. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.
