Arizona Tribune - Faraday Copper Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Highlights Year to Date

Copper Creek Project Update

With extensive historical exploration, over 200,000 m of drilling and modest past production, significant exploration upside remains. There are several hundred known breccia occurrences mapped at the surface, of which less than 20% have been drill tested and only 17 are included in the MRE.

In the Phase II drill program, assay results confirmed the potential for gold to occur in economic concentrations in certain phases of the mineralization. Gold is not currently included in the MRE. A sampling program to gather sufficient data coverage for potential gold inclusion in future technical studies is largely complete. The results from the Childs Aldwinkle and Copper Prince breccias, as well as the Keel underground zone, have been returned and released. The Company continues to evaluate other areas for potential inclusion of gold in future mineral resource updates.

The Company has reported results from a metallurgical program focused on grind size optimization that demonstrated the viability of coarse particle flotation, gold recoveries in concentrate and test work on near surface oxide mineralization.

The Company is focusing on exploration at the property while continuing to advance technical studies, environmental data gathering, and stakeholder outreach.

Phase III drilling was completed in mid-April 2025 with 79 drill holes and 30,069 m of drilling. In total, 63 holes have been released. Remaining assay results are expected from the American Eagle area and district exploration targets and will be released as they are received, analyzed and confirmed by the Company.

The program's framework was based on historical work, knowledge from the geological and recently updated structural model, the results from the Phase I and Phase II drill programs, geophysical and airborne spectral data sets, and economic criteria defined in the PEA base case.

The focus of drilling was on the near-surface mineralization in the American Eagle, Area 51 and Rum areas. To date, through the combined Phase II and Phase III drill programs, which are not included in the MRE or PEA, the Company has released results from 91 drill holes as follows:

• 63 drill holes were drilled on new targets that are entirely outside of the resource boundary;

• 21 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 has awarded scopes of work to independent consultants to deliver an updated MRE and PEA near the end of the third quarter of 2025.

• The updated MRE will incorporate drill results from the Phase II and Phase III drill programs, including approximately 40,000 m of additional drilling compared to the current MRE.

In addition, all existing data is being integrated into a technical framework to inform the updated MRE and PEA.
