Edge Copper intersects 287 ft at 0.73% Cu at Zonia

Canada NewsWire

VANCOUVER, BC , Aug. 26, 2026 /CNW/ -- Edge Copper Corporation (TSX: EDCU) (" Edge Copper " or the " Company ") is pleased to report assay results from ten additional diamond drill holes completed as part of its ongoing approximately 54,000-foot drilling program at the Company's 100%-owned Zonia Copper Project ("Zonia" or the "Project") in Arizona. These results bring the total number of holes reported from the current program to 37.

The principal result in this release is hole ZND0032 drilled in the central part of the deposit as an undercut beneath a number of short historical holes. The hole returned 287 feet (ft) grading 0.73% Total Copper (CuT) from 13 ft, including 190 ft grading 1.01% CuT, in addition to two broad intervals: 252 ft grading 0.26% CuT from 350 ft, including 112 ft grading 0.41% CuT; and 168 ft grading 0.26% CuT from 642 ft, including 50 ft grading 0.35% CuT. See Figure 2 for the ZND0032 cross section.

Hole ZND0032 confirms high-grade oxide copper mineralization in an area previously defined only by shallow historical drilling, and represents the highest-grade interval intersected to date in the current program. The multiple mineralized zones, separated by narrow, weakly mineralized intervals, indicate that oxide copper mineralization extends over approximately 550 ft of true vertical extent in the central deposit area, with the highest grades occurring in the upper, near surface zone.
