Getty drills 0.81% Cu over 68.5 m at Getty South

Highlights:

Getty South delivers near-surface, high-grade copper mineralization, including 68.5m grading 0.81% Cu from 39.5m depth and 184m grading 0.37% Cu

Copper mineralization extended 72m below historical intercepts and remains open within broader Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical anomaly

First significant drill program at Getty South in ~30 years

Step out assays pending for 11 additional holes at Getty South and 3 holes at Getty North

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 2, 2026) - Getty Copper Inc. (TSXV: GTC) (OTCQX: GTCDF) (" Getty " or the " Company ") is pleased to report the initial assay results from its 2026 drilling at the Getty South target, part of the Company's Getty project in the Highland Valley District of British Columbia. Drilling at Getty South has returned broad intervals of copper mineralization, including higher-grade zones near surface, confirming and expanding mineralization identified by historical drilling.

These results represent the first significant drilling at Getty South in 30 years and support the Company's ongoing work towards building a modern mineral resource base and discovering additional copper mineralization across the Project.

"These first results from Getty South exceeded our expectations. Unlike the drilling at Getty North, the Getty South target is a lot less understood, with limited core available, and historic holes dating as far back as the 1950's missing location, survey or assay data. This program is the first significant modern drilling at Getty South in approximately thirty years. Drillholes GS26-01 and GS26-02 both test a geophysical anomaly that is open beneath the historic mine workings. They demonstrate both bulk intercepts and high-grade zones, with copper grades that are markedly higher than the mined grades within the Highland Valley District. A pattern of stepout assay results
