[{"type":"text","content":"Coppernico Commences Field Exploration at Nioc and Antapampa Targets at Sombrero\n\n\n\n VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --\n \n Coppernico Metals Inc. (TSX: COPR, OTCQB: CPPMF, FSE: 9I3)\n \n (“Coppernico” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that, through its wholly owned private Peruvian subsidiary, Sombrero Minerales SAC, it has commenced a comprehensive field exploration program at the Nioc target area and the Antapampa target within the Sombrero Project in Peru (Figure 1). The program marks the first sustained, systematic evaluation by the Company in these areas, and is designed to refine targets for future drilling within an extensive land position offering multiple large skarn-porphyry discovery opportunities.\n \n\n\n Program Overview\n \n\n\n The 2025 field campaign includes:\n \n\n\n Soil geochemistry on a grid of 200 metres (m) x 200 m spacing to delineate and vector geochemical anomalies in areas without rock outcrop (Figure 2).\n \n\n Channel sampling of key outcrops to assess grade distribution and continuity.\n \n\n Geological mapping and rock sampling to characterize lithology, alteration, and structural controls.\n \n\n\n\n The objective is to expand and better define known surface mineralization at Nioc, characterize the geochemical footprint of the larger skarn system, and identify and evaluate new mineralized zones, particularly at Antapampa, to focus exploration toward defining drill ready targets.\n \n\n\n Ivan Bebek, Chair and CEO of Coppernico, commented,\n \n “The commencement of these programs, along with additional geophysical studies that will follow in the near future, are indicative of our continued, active efforts to refine and further establish a premier pipeline of significant copper-gold targets within our large land position ahead of upcoming drill campaigns.\n \n\n Sombrero represents one of the most compelling copper-gold exploration opportunities for discovery globally, with analogues to several major mines. Our collaboration and partnerships with local communities and the Peruvian government continue to expand across the region, further supporting the advancement of this exceptional project.”\n \n\n\n\n\n Figure 1: Nioc target area and Antapampa target located north of the Ccascabamba target area within the Sombrero...
