Getty drills 342 m of 0.50% copper from 9 m at Getty North

Highlights: Resource confirmation drilling returns consistent copper mineralization in first significant drill program since 1997 Expansion drilling expands Getty North by 65m beyond historical drill holes Drilling ongoing in the Highland Valley district in central British Columbia Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 22, 2026) - Getty Copper Inc. (TSXV: GTC) (" Getty " or the " Company ") is pleased to provide first assay results from its 2026 exploration program at the Company's Getty Project (the " Getty Project ") in the Highland Valley District. The results from the three drill holes reported here are the first from the current program, which is designed to support a future resource estimate and potentially expand the Getty North porphyry copper deposit. Getty plans to complete up to 16,000 metres of drilling on resource and exploration targets in its 2026 program.

A total of 14 holes have been completed at Getty North to date and results from the first three holes are reported here: GN26-01 (Resource confirmation): 342m of 0.50% Cu , 87 ppm Mo and 0.8 g/t Ag from 9m depth (oxide to 39m) Including 108m of 0.70% Cu , 90 ppm Mo and 1.0 g/t Ag from 12m And including 135m of 0.55% Cu , 132 ppm Mo and 1.0 g/t Ag from 186m GN26-03 (Expansion): 170.8m of 0.24% Cu , 50 ppm Mo and 0.3 g/t Ag from 408.2m downhole (~300m below surface) Including 45.9m of 0.40% Cu , 133 ppm Mo and 0.4 g/t Ag from 408.2m GN26-04 (Resource confirmation): 278m of 0.38% Cu , 46 ppm Mo and 0.4 g/t Ag from 22m depth Including 150m of 0.51% Cu , 58 ppm Mo and 0.5 g/t Ag from 66m "These initial results from Getty North highlight the potential of our Highland Valley district claim package. Our near-term focus is improving the data quality for Getty North for a future resource and seeking to expand the size of the deposit. The drill results demonstrate mineralization that is notably higher grade than surrounding mining operation
