Canadian Copper Closes Upsized $15M Private Placement & Announces Corporate Changes

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 13, 2025) - Canadian Copper Inc. (CSE: CCI) ("Canadian Copper" or the "Company") announces that it has closed its non-brokered private placement consisting of 75,000,000 units at a price of $0.20 per unit for gross proceeds of $15,000,000 ("Private Placement") previously announced on October 2^nd, 2025. The Company would like to welcome strategic investor Stephens Investment Management LLC, founded by Mr. Paul H. Stephens, a leading figure in U.S. west coast asset management and investment banking for over forty years.

Simon Quick, CEO of Canadian Copper stated: "This is a good milestone for Canadian Copper. Investor demand for this financing has been considerable, both from existing investors and new institutional shareholders. Subject to final conditions being satisfied, this financing will enable us to complete the acquisition of the existing Caribou mill and shift our immediate focus on executing the development strategy of Murray Brook and Caribou combined. It is clear from last week's federal budget that national critical mineral supply is a key and increasing area of concern for Canada. Canadian Copper is well positioned as part of the near-term metal supply solution by combining the only permitted milling complex in New Brunswick with a large open pit base metal resource."

Private Placement

The Company plans to use the financing proceeds to complete the previously announced Caribou Processing Complex transaction ("Caribou") in addition to advancing certain key development activities addressed in the June 2025 Preliminary Economic Assessment, such as:

1. Complete the remaining $6M payment to satisfy the Caribou transaction. Customary closing conditions such as Mining Lease transfer and other items should occur in Q4, 2025 pending court availability and discussions with the New Brunswick Government.
2. Complete necessary environmental baseline studies this year to support the submission of the Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") in H1, 2026. An update on these activities will be issued in November 2025.
3. Complete a 1,000-meter metallurgical drill program and testwork to refine process plant operating costs and recovery performance. The drill program is well underway with ~750 meters completed to date. An update on these activities will be issued in November 2025.
4. Identify engineering design requirements associated with the Murray Brook deposit that are necessary for provincial construction and operating permits. The Caribou Process Complex itself is already permitted and maintains all required compliance with the appropriate regulatory authorities. An update on these activities will be issue by Q1, 2026 including engineering group(s) selection.
