[{"type":"text","content":"Coppernico Confirms Large-Scale Copper Skarn System and Expands Pipeline of Priority Targets at Sombrero\n\n\n\n VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coppernico Metals Inc. (TSX: COPR, OTCQB: CPPMF) (“Coppernico” or the “Company”), is pleased to report the remaining assay results from its Phase 1 drill program at its Sombrero Project in Peru. The program, conducted through its wholly owned Peruvian subsidiary, Sombrero Minerales SAC, included 8,232.9 metres (“m”) of diamond drilling over 20 holes designed to test large-scale geophysical and geochemical anomalies within the Ccascabamba target area. The results confirm broad intervals of copper-gold mineralization supporting the technical team’s skarn-porphyry geological model and reinforcing the district-scale potential of the Sombrero Project. Drilling is now temporarily paused as the Company pursues expanded permits for access to priority targets.\n \n\n\n Phase 1 Drill Program Highlights:\n \n\n\n\n\n Large System:\n \n Drilling to date has not yet defined the limits of the skarn system, with mineralization and alteration vectoring high-priority opportunities well beyond the currently permitted area. Surface mapping, geophysical data and historical drilling suggest continuity and highlights the potential for the discovery of major extensions in future phases.\n \n\n\n Notable Intercepts from Drill Holes 6-20:\n \n\n\n 25SOM-013 – 9.85 m @ 0.26% copper (“Cu”) and 0.46 g/t gold (“Au”)\n \n\n 25SOM-016 – 9.40 m @ 0.19% Cu\n \n\n 25SOM-017 – 18.10 m @ 0.18% Cu and 0.7 g/t Au\n \n\n 25SOM-018 – 21.85 m @ 0.22% Cu\n \n\n 24SOM-007 – 9.15 m @ 0.21% Cu\n \n\n\n\n\n Intrusive Igneous Rock Architecture:\n \n Drilling to date has defined a complex network of causative intrusions, particularly around the Hojota area, where much of the Phase 1 drill program was focused.\n \n\n\n Zonation and Controls:\n \n Mineralization appears to be controlled by an interplay of factors including proximity to causative intrusions, favorable host lithologies and zones of impermeability and structural complexity, including intersecting fault sets.\n \n\n\n Robust Skarn Alteration:\n \n Alteration zones exceeding 300 meters in width have been defined, characterized by mult...
