Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 25, 2024) - CopAur Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CPAU) (OTCQX: COPAF) ("CopAur" or the "Company") Jeremy Yaseniuk, CEO at CopAur Minerals, is pleased to announce that the Company and Omega Pacific have commenced a maiden drill program at the Williams property in British Columbia's Golden Horseshoe.

The 2024 drilling campaign (phase 1) has commenced, focusing on expanding and extending the recently uncovered mineralization at drill hole WM22-02 within the property's GIC prospect. This area previously concluded in mineralization during the last drill campaign in 2022.

Current and upcoming phase 1 exploration highlights:

• Up to 2,000 metres (m) of diamond drilling, including expansion drilling along strike and at depth surrounding drill hole WM22-02

• WM22-02 returned 50 metres of 2.2 grams per tonne gold in 2022 and ended in mineralization, leaving its full width unknown

• Phase 1 will execute a total of three drill holes, all from the same drill pad at GIC

Apex Geoscience Ltd. will coordinate and execute the phase 1 drill program. Apex has overseen several projects in the Golden Horseshoe, including Thesis Gold's Lawyers-Ranch project and Newmont's Tatogga project.

Jeremy Yaseniuk, CopAur CEO commented, "The commencement of drilling at Williams is a significant milestone for both companies. To fast-track a more detailed understanding of the mineralization at GIC, management has arranged to expedite assaying of the first hole, which will allow us to report on the program results as soon as possible this summer. We look forward to leveraging the significant geological understanding that Apex has of the Toodoggone district. They have managed and overseen discoveries and maiden resources in close proximity to our land package."
