TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 2, 2026 / Copper Road Resources Inc. (TSX-V:CRD) ("Copper Road" or the "Company") is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement consisting of the sale of critical mineral flow through common shares (the "Offering"). The Offering will consist of the sale of up to 5,652,174 common shares, to be issued as "flow-through shares" (the "FT Shares") within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada)(the "Tax Act") at a price of $0.115 per FT Share for gross proceeds of up $650,000.

The proceeds from the sale of FT Shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" as defined in subsection 66.1(6) of the Tax Act and "flow through mining expenditures" as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Tax Act ("Qualifying Expenditures"). Such proceeds will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date not later than December 31, 2026, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares. More specifically, the proceeds from the sale of FT Shares will be used for exploration of the Company's Ben Nevis Property in Ontario.

Brian Howlett, President and CEO of Copper Road, stated: "On behalf of the Copper Road team, I would like to sincerely thank our existing and new shareholders for their continued support in completing this financing. Their commitment allows us to advance our critical minerals strategy at a time when copper and other key metals are increasingly important to Canada's energy transition and global decarbonization efforts."

The Company may pay finder's fees to eligible finders in connection with the Offering. Completion of the Offering is subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

Certain insiders of Copper Road may participate in the Offering, which would constitute a "related party transaction", as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the acquired securities by such insiders will not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

The securities offered have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
