(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 2, 2025) - Canadian Copper Inc. (CSE: CCI) (" Canadian Copper " or the " Company ") announces that it is increasing the previously announced private placement of 50,000,000 units at a price of $0.20 per unit for gross proceeds up to $10,000,000 ("Private Placement) by $5,000,000, for gross proceeds up to $15,000,000 (the "Upsized Private Placement"). The Upsized Private Placement would result in the issuance of up to 75,000,000 units. The Company has received commitments for the entire Upsized Private Placement, including a $2,000,000 investment from Crescat Capital , a global macro asset management firm.

Each unit of the Upsized Private Placement will consist of one common share of the Company and one-half share purchase warrant. Each one-half warrant has a twelve-month expiry and an exercise price of $0.25. The warrant will be subject to an accelerated exercise clause in the event the Company's share price valued at $0.30 or more for ten consecutive trading days on a volume-weighted average price basis.

Explanation for the Upsize

The original $10,000,000 Private Placement provided sufficient capital to execute on several key objectives. Those items included satisfying the final $6,000,000 payment required to close the Caribou Processing Complex transaction , fund the up-coming metallurgical program, and meet our Environmental Impact Assessment submittal schedule of H1, 2026. To further extend our liquidity trajectory and reduce execution risk with the upcoming 2026 design and engineering field work season, the Company will increase our access to an additional $5,000,000 in working capital. It is expected these funds will provide necessary liquidity into Q1, 2027.

Simon Quick, CEO of Canadian Copper, stated, "Near-term development projects with a care and maintenance component require a sufficient level of working capital for timely execution. Dilution is challenging, but we believe it is necessary to deliver on our near-term development strategy. To date, more than 85% of the current Private Placement participants are from existing shareholders of Canadian Copper. We thank both our current and welcome our new shareholders who are a strong complement to the share registry. We will be judicious in how we allocate further units in excess of the previously announced $10M financing as we advance Canadian Copper's next growth phase."

Upsized Private Placement - Use of Proceeds

In addition to the previously announced use of proceeds discussed in the Private Placement announcement on September 16^th, 2025 , additional available capital would be used to:

Accelerate certain key development and field activities planned to occur later in 2026.

Request for proposals of key activities will be delivered in Q4, 2025 such that key activities can start early in 2026.

Provide additional capital to maintain and improve the Caribou Process Complex over a longer period.

Evaluate ways to improve our project development schedule by stacking certain activities previously designed to be performed sequentially.

The Private Placement is expected to close on November 12, 2025, subsequent to the approval of the Shareholders at the Special Meeting.
