Cascade Copper Corp. Announces Drilling Contract for Centrefire Copper-Gold Project

Vancouver, British Columbia — May 13, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Cascade Copper Corp. (CSE:CASC/FRA:91O) has signed a drilling contract for a maiden minimum 600-metre diamond drilling program at its Centrefire Copper-Gold Project, located 40 kilometres from Dryden, Ontario.

The company expects the drill contractor to mobilize in early June 2026. Drilling will focus on priority copper-gold Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) targets identified through inversion modelling of geophysics, historic drilling and sampling of surface mineralization.

A live event to discuss Cascade’s drill targets and drill contract will occur Wednesday May 13 at 12pm. People can register online.

Jeffrey Ackert, President of Cascade Copper, stated that the signing of the drilling contract is the next step to verify and evaluate the extensive modelling and interpretation of the mineral systems at the Centrefire Project. Ackert added that exploration work done to date on the project has predicted a robust VMS system that is begging to be tested, and if the model is proven, it opens up the possibility for similar mineralization across the entire 8 kilometre trend.

Cascade Copper expects to provide additional updates as mobilization commences and drilling progresses.

Management cautions that all analysis values represented are grab or chip samples are historical and selective in nature and not representative of the Project in its entirety or indicative of any grade overall. These historical results are meant to point out zones of interest and potential follow-up in the future for in-field verification.

Cascade Copper is an exploration stage natural resource company engaged in the evaluation, acquisition, and exploration of copper based mineral resource properties. Cascade is focused on copper and gold, porphyry and mesothermal gold deposits in British Columbia and VMS and BIF copper, gold, and silver style deposits in Ontario.

Cascade’s priority is to conduct exploration using modern technology that includes 3D inversion modelling of geophysics, LiDAR elevation models, and AI enhanced Predictive Modelling from all historic and modern data inputs. Drilling is planned on several of its copper-gold targets this year. Cascade has five projects, including the Copper Plateau Copper-Moly Project, the Centrefire Copper-Gold Project, the Rogers Creek Copper-Gold Project, Fire Mountain Copper-Gold Project and the Bendor Gold-Tungsten Project.
