Getty drills 194 m of 0.62% Cu from 27 m at Getty North

Highlights:

Resource confirmation drilling demonstrates strong near-surface grade profile

Expansion drilling extends mineralization at Getty North by 60 metres to over 230 metres beyond historical holes on 3 cross sections

Assay results remain pending for 3 holes at Getty North and 13 holes at Getty South

Spring drilling program for 10,807 metres is complete and Fall program to start in October

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 11, 2026) - Getty Copper Inc. (TSXV: GTC) (" Getty " or the " Company ") is pleased to report a second batch of assay results from Getty North as part of its 2026 spring exploration program at the Getty Project (the " Project ") in the Highland Valley District.

The results from these nine drill holes support the Company's objective of upgrading the historical resource to a modern estimate and demonstrate the potential to expand the Getty North porphyry copper deposit. The holes are located on three cross sections through the deposit. Highlights include the following (see Table 1 and Figures 1, 2 and 3 for more).

"This second batch of results from our 2026 spring drilling program is validating the thesis we set out at the beginning of the year: confirm the historical resource, demonstrate the potential to grow it, and materially advance our understanding of the geology across the Getty mineral claims. At Getty North, we are seeing strong consistency with the historical results, compelling near-surface grades and mineralization extending well beyond previous drilling. Just as importantly, every hole is adding to our understanding of the system and helping us build a stronger geological foundation for the next phase of drilling." – CEO, Ryan O'Regan
