(CSE: “CASC”/FRA: 91O) (“Cascade” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has mobilized a drill crew for a maiden, minimum 600-metre diamond drilling program at its Centrefire Copper-Gold Project, located 40 kilometres from Dryden, Ontario.

"The arrival of the drill at Centrefire represents a landmark moment for Cascade Copper, marking the Company's first drill program and the transition from project evaluation to discovery," stated Jeffrey Ackert, President and CEO of Cascade Copper. "Our technical team has completed extensive groundwork and modelling to define priority targets, and we are eager to begin testing the Centrefire VMS system. This program is an important step in our strategy to advance high-quality copper projects in Canada and create long-term value for our shareholders. We look forward to reporting results as drilling advances."
