Coppernico Completes Social Access Agreement at its Sombrero Project in Southern Peru

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 27, 2023 / Coppernico Metals Inc. ("Coppernico" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has received its notarized three-year renewable social access agreement (the "Agreement") with the Huancasancos community at its flagship Sombrero project in southern Peru. The Company's local Peruvian community team has worked closely with the community for over seven years where it has developed and supported multiple social and sustainable agricultural programs. During that time, the Company maintained consistent and transparent communication and collaboration with the local community which has resulted in a positive working environment and long-term relationship. Coppernico is looking forward to expanding its ESG initiatives through the creation of jobs and additional social and sustainable agricultural programs.

The Agreement enables Coppernico to resume exploration activities at its Sombrero project, which will include surface work at multiple new high priority target areas, and commence a drill program at the Sombrero Main target area once the required final permits have been obtained. The Agreement also enables the Company to move ahead with its application to be listed on a recognized stock exchange. Further updates regarding the Company's next steps will follow shortly.

"We're honoured to have achieved this significant milestone for the Sombrero project. This achievement is a testament to the community support we've received, and continue to receive, which we're especially grateful for. We also appreciate the efforts from Mr. Christian Rios, SVP of Corporate Development, and the other members of our community team for their outstanding collaboration, unwavering commitment and valuable guidance over the years," commented Mr. Ivan Bebek, President & CEO of Coppernico.

Mr. Bebek further stated, "Major exploration projects, such as Sombrero, require significant community support, which has always been a priority for us as a company, and therefore take time and commitment. To that end, we'd like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and patience as we resume our exploration efforts and plan the listing of the Company while we obtain the final permits required for the Company's drill program. This is an incredibly exciting time for Coppernico shareholders as we believe that our Sombrero project is unique due to the quality, scale and opportunity for multiple world-class discoveries."
