Copper Quest Exploration Inc. (CSE: CQX; OTCQB: IMIMF; FRA: 3MX) (‘ Copper Quest ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Kitimat Copper-Gold Project (the ‘Project’), located approximately 10 kilometers northwest of the deep-water port community of Kitimat, British Columbia.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Kitimat Copper-Gold Project covers approximately 2,954 hectares within the Skeena Mining Division of northwestern British Columbia. The Project is year-round road-accessible via a network of logging and mineral exploration roads extending north from Kitimat. The property benefits from exceptional infrastructure, being within 10 km of tidewater, 1.5 km of rail, and 6 km of high-voltage hydroelectric transmission lines.

Geologically, the Project is situated within the Stikine Terrane, a prolific belt that hosts numerous porphyry copper-gold systems and is underlain by Late Triassic volcanic rocks intruded by Jurassic diorite and granodiorite bodies of the Coast Plutonic Complex. The Project’s principal target areas is the Jeannette Cu-Au Zone displaying alteration and mineralization interpreted to represent low-level intermediate to low-sulfidation epithermal expressions of a larger Cu-Au porphyry system.

HISTORICAL EXPLORATION & HIGHLIGHTS

Exploration on the Kitimat property dates back to the late 1960s, with multiple operators conducting geochemical, geophysical, and drilling campaigns. The most significant historical work was conducted by Decade Resources Ltd. (2010), which completed 16 diamond drill holes totaling 4,437.5 meters in the Jeannette Cu-Au Zone. Notable results include:

• Hole J-7: 117.07 m grading 1.03 g/t Au, 0.54% Cu, from 1.52 m to 118.60 m.
• Hole J-1: 103.65 m grading 1.00 g/t Au, 0.55% Cu, from 9.15 m to 112.80 m.
• Hole J-2: 107.01 m grading 0.80 g/t Au, 0.45% Cu, from 6.10 m to 113.11 m.
• Hole J-8: 112.20 m grading 0.41 g/t Au, 0.33% Cu, from 11.89 m to 124.09 m.

The mineralized intervals encountered in the 2010 drilling demonstrate continuous near-surface copper-gold mineralization extending over significant widths, remain open at depth within the Jeannette Zone, and occur within a broader hydrothermal system that is interpreted to extend laterally beyond the area tested.

ACQUISITION DETAILS

Under the terms of the agreement Copper Quest has until January 5, 2026 to complete a due diligence review of the Project. Upon successful review, the Company will issue 2,000,000 common shares to the vendor, Bernie Kreft, on January 6, 2026, as full consideration for the acquisition. The Project is subject to a 2.5% net smelter return (NSR) royalty, of which 40% may be repurchased by the Company for CAD $1,000,000. Copper Quest will also retain a right of first refusal on any transaction involving the sale of the remaining royalty interest. Copper Quest has until

Mr. Kreft is a well-known Canadian prospector, entrepreneur, and former star of the Discovery Channel’s Yukon Gold television series. He has a long track record of successful mineral discoveries and project generation across British Columbia and Yukon.

A finder’s fee is payable in connection with the acquisition.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Brian Thurston , CEO of CopperQuest, commented:

‘The addition of the Kitimat Copper-Gold Project demonstrates Copper Quest’s continued effort to add shareholder value through the acquisition of critical mineral projects. This project is ideally located with exceptional infrastructure, in a proven geological belt known for hosting major copper-gold systems. The strong historical drill results from the Jeannette zone speak to the potential of a larger near-surface mineralized system. We look forward to advancing this asset as part of our growing copper-gold portfolio.’

NEXT STEPS

• The Company plans to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) analysis to integrate all historical and modern exploration data to establish a comprehensive geological and geophysical model for the Kitimat Porphyry Project and improve targeting precision.
• Additional geological mapping, sampling, and geophysical surveys may be completed to refine priority drill targets as required. Field work could include ground magnetics, induced polarization (IP), and passive seismic to better define subsurface structure and mineralization trends.
• A follow-up drill program would test key targets within the interpreted geology and surrounding high-grade corridors.

ABOUT COPPER

Despite surging demand, global copper supply remains constrained. Ore grades are declining at major mines, permitting timelines for new projects have lengthened, and geopolitical tensions are reshaping supply chains toward stable, transparent jurisdictions. Governments in Canada, the U.S., and allied nations have increasingly identified copper as a strategic and critical metal necessary for economic and national security. Within this context, Copper Quest’s acquisition of the Kitimat Copper-Gold Project in British Columbia positions the Company to advance a discovery-stage asset in one of the world’s safest and most infrastructure-rich mining jurisdictions — precisely when new, scalable copper sources are most needed.

Diamond Drill Results Highlights:

Road Cut Zone:

• KDD0104
  • 7.0 metres (‘m’) at 1.20 g/t Au from 72.0 m
  • 13.0 m at 1.49 g/t Au from 93.0 m
• KDD0109
  • 10.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au from 41.0 m, incl. 6.0 m at 3.77 g/t Au from 45.0 m
  • 10.0 m at 1.86 g/t Au from 204.0 m
  • 11.0 m at 0.51 g/t Au from 229.0 m

Jagger Zone

• KDD0100
  • 1.0 m at 17.30 g/t Au from 38.0 m
  • 1.0 m at 3.72 g/t Au from 94.0 m
  • 9.0 m at 1.04 g/t Au from 172.0 m
  • 11.0 m at 1.26 g/t Au from 188.0 m

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: ‘The latest results continue to confirm strong, continuous gold mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault. These results also further define parallel gold-bearing shears within both the Road Cut Zone and Jagger Zone structural corridors, reinforcing our confidence in the scale and continuity of the system.’ He continued: ‘The new drilling has outlined broad mineralised zones with strong down-dip continuity and encouraging grades near surface and at depth, all consistent with our geological model for Kossou. Together, these results continue to strengthen our view that Kossou hosts a robust and growing gold system with significant potential for resource expansion as drilling progresses.’

Road Cut Zone Highlights

Drilling at the Road Cut Zone targeted a 300-m strike length between sections RCZ400 and RCZ700 , with results confirming mineralisation along and adjacent to the CZ Fault. Boreholes KDD0104 and KDD0109 on section RCZ600 returned some of the strongest results to date:

• KDD0109 intersected 10.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au from 41.0 m, including 6.0 m at 3.77 g/t Au from 45.0 m, as well as 10.0 m at 1.86 g/t Au from 204.0 m and 11.0 m at 0.51 g/t Au from 229.0 m.
• KDD0104 returned 13.0 m at 1.49 g/t Au from 93 m and 7.0 m at 1.20 g/t Au from 72 m, located approximately 20 m west of the CZ Fault.

The mineralised intersections in boreholes KDD0104 and KDD0109 along the CZ Fault are comparable in both grade and thicknesses reported previously in borehole KDD0098 . This hole shows a good degree of consistency and continuity down dip of the prominent shear zone.

The upper mineralised intersection of 10.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au in KDD0109 also confirms an excellent down-dip continuity of gold mineralisation first identified in hole KDD0014 (9.0 m at 4.27 g/t Au) , establishing a robust, gold-bearing structure up to 175.0 m from the main fault.

Additional intercepts along the CZ Fault include 10.0 m at 0.55 g/t Au and 5.0 m at 1.75 g/t Au in KDD0102 , while KDD0105 returned a 1 m interval at 5.05 g/t Au associated with quartz veining south of RCZ600 . Collectively, the Road Cut Zone results confirm consistent gold mineralisation along a 150-200 m section of the CZ Fault, highlighting its potential as a major first-order control on mineralisation.

Jagger Zone Highlights

Drilling at the Jagger Zone was completed across two 50-m sections (JZ750 and JZ800) , designed to test continuity within the central shear and southern extensions of the zone.

• KDD0100 intersected 1.0 m at 17.30 g/t Au from 38.0 m , 9.0 m at 1.04 g/t Au from 172.0 m , and 11.0 m at 1.26 g/t Au from 188.0 m , demonstrating higher grades and continuity within the core of the Jagger shear zone compared to earlier holes (e.g., KDD0031 – 4.0 m at 3.26 g/t Au ).
• KDD0106 returned 3.3 m at 0.96 g/t Au from 62.7 m near surface, confirming the presence of mineralised shears along the southern continuation of Structure 6.

Although shallow holes KDD0106 and KDD0108 intersected lower-grade mineralisation, results at depth confirm that well-defined shears persist below 200 m , warranting follow-up drilling to extend these high-grade zones down dip.

Table 1: Summary of Significant Diamond Drill Hole Results

An accurate dip and strike and controls of mineralisation are unconfirmed and mineralised zones are reported as downhole lengths. Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances, true widths are unknown.

Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures

Drill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at site. Drill cores were sawn in half, with one half remaining in the core box and the other half secured into new plastic sample bags with sample number tickets. Core samples are drilled using HQ core barrels to below the level of oxidation and then reduced to NQ core barrels for the remainder of the bore hole. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d’Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel where the entire sample was prepared for analysis (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Sample splits of 50 grams were then analysed for gold using 50g Fire Assay as per SGS Geochem Method FAA505. QA/QC procedures for the drill program include insertion of a certificated standards every 20 samples, a blank every 20 samples and a duplicate sample every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.
