(TSXV: XXIX) (OTCQB: QCCUF) (FSE: 5LW0) (\"XXIX\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce its fully-funded exploration programs at its Opemiska Copper Project and a maiden drill program at its Thierry Copper Project.Drill Program at ThierryXXIX is planning a drill program of up to 15,000 metres focused on the K1 deposit at Thierry. The program is designed to expand the current resource and is based on the detailed data compilation and validation work completed in February 2025. This effort produced a modern, consolidated geological model for K1, which currently hosts an inferred resource of 53.6 million tonnes grading 0.38% copper, 0.10% nickel, 0.03 g/t gold, 0.05 g/t platinum, 0.14 g/t palladium, and 1.8 g/t silver.The new model confirms that mineralization begins at surface and has been drilled to a depth of 400 metres. K1 extends along a strike length of more than 1.4 kilometres and reaches widths of up to 260 metres. Importantly, the model highlights increasing copper grades with depth. It also incorporates 15 previously excluded drill holes, offering a more complete understanding of the deposit's geometry and potential.This upcoming program will update the K1 resource using XXIX's more comprehensive geological model, providing a stronger foundation for future development and expansion.Drill Program at Cooke Gold Zone at OpemiskaXXIX is planning a 5,000-metre drill program at the former Cooke gold mine area, which has not been properly tested since the mine's closure. Cooke is is a past-producing underground operation with its crown pillar intact, located 2.5 kilometres east of the proposed Opemiska pit. Historically, Cooke produced 1.97 million tonnes grading 5.04 g/t gold and 0.66% Copper[1]. The objective of this program is to expand Opemiska's current resource base...
