Mineral resource
The Getty Copper Project hosts a historical indicated resource of 114 million tonnes grading 0.37% copper. The resource and reserve estimates herein are derived from the 2010 Prefeasibility Study. Effective date: May 3rd, 2010. The Company has not updated the study, and the estimates should not be treated as current mineral resources or reserves.
Projects
["The Getty Copper Project is a large-scale copper asset covering ~24,000 hectares in British Columbia’s Highland Valley, immediately north of Teck’s Highland Valley Copper Mine. The project hosts a historical indicated resource of 114 million tonnes grading 0.37% copper, anchoring it within one of Canada’s most prolific copper districts. Getty controls approximately 25% of this district, much of which remains underexplored by modern standards. The Company is focused on repositioning Getty as a leading copper development story through disciplined execution, targeted drilling, and the identification of higher-grade mineralization within a large-scale system. In 2026, Getty Copper is advancing a fully funded, multi-phase drill program—the first in over 30 years—focused on resource growth and discovery at Getty North and Getty South. Strong infrastructure, year-round access, and a skilled workforce further support efficient development in this world-class mining camp.","Getty North is a classic copper–molybdenum porphyry deposit within the Getty Project, characterized by a core of higher-grade copper mineralization that has been defined near surface by historical drilling. The company has identified clear potential for expansion where the deposit remains open at depth, with opportunities to increase both tonnage and grade continuity through modern exploration and improved data integration. Getty North is located in British Columbia’s Highland Valley, near Logan Lake in the Kamloops Mining Division. The project borders Teck’s Highland Valley Copper Mine, the largest copper mine in Canada, and benefits from excellent regional infrastructure and access. The deposit includes both oxide and sulphide zones, which the company plans to better define: Oxide mineralization is amenable to leaching, with recoveries up to ~80%+ in historical column tests and rapid recovery potential using continuous vat leaching. Sulphide mineralization responds well to conventional flotation, producing high-grade copper concentrates. Getty Copper’s 2026 fully funded drill program is now underway at Getty North and Getty South — the first drilling on the project in over 30 years. The multi-phase campaign is focused on resource expansion, confirming historical results, and testing new discovery targets within this highly prospective porphyry system. Historic work at Getty North includes 303 drill holes (55,619 m), supported by IP and magnetic surveys, geochemical programs, and detailed mapping, providing a strong technical foundation for modern targeting and reinterpretation.","Getty South is a breccia-hosted copper system located approximately 3 km south of Getty North, with a history of underground development and drilling including at the historical Trojan Mine. While historical work defined widespread mineralization, parts of that dataset are considered unreliable by modern standards, highlighting an opportunity for re-evaluation. Getty South is situated in British Columbia’s Highland Valley, within close proximity to Getty North and adjacent to Teck’s Highland Valley Copper Mine. The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, established access, and a well-developed mining district. The deposit is hosted in an elliptical breccia body approximately 300 m by 600 m in size, hosting both oxide and sulphide copper mineralization. Historical trenching returned strong near-surface results, including 80 m @ 1.06% Cu in a higher-grade oxidized zone along the eastern margin. An IP geophysical anomaly beneath the western margin of the breccia indicates potential for additional mineralization at depth. Getty South has seen substantial historical work, including 132 drill holes (~20,734 m) including 3,615 m drilled by Getty Copper, 1,775 m of underground development (not currently accessible), extensive trenching, geophysics (IP and magnetics), and geochemical surveys. Despite this, very limited recent drilling has been completed. Much of the historical resource is based on 1960s data and 1990s geological modelling which may have resulted in grade smearing. Current efforts are focused on a comprehensive drill targeting review, aimed at validating historical results and defining new, high-confidence drill targets.","The Glossie Zone is a highly prospective exploration target defined by a nearly 5 km long trend of anomalous Cu in soil. These anomalies partly coincide with the historic Glossie Mine workings, where high-grade copper with gold and silver credits was mined in the early 1900s. Recently acquired pine bark biogeochemical data has highlighted several Cu anomalies including at the Bark target. The location of this anomaly adjacent the regionally important Lornex Fault makes this a new, historically unexplored target a priority for follow-up exploration work as the Company advances its exploration pipeline."]
