Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 2, 2024) - CopperEx Resources Corp. (TSXV: CUEX) (the "Company" or "CopperEx") announces that it has terminated its option over the Exploradora Norte property. The Company had an option to acquire a 65% ownership interest with a preferred option to earn an additional 35%. While the Company was pleased with its exploration success at Exploradora Norte, the Company determined that additional work and significant remaining expenditures would be required in order to confirm a discovery.

In light of current market conditions and favourable exploration targets at its Kio Buggy and La Rica properties, the Company determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to terminate the Exploradora Norte option to focus on its other projects which are 100% owned by the Company.

Dave Prins, the Company's President and CEO said "the decision to terminate our option over Exploradora Norte followed extensive efforts in an attempt to renegotiate the option agreement. While we are disappointed those efforts were not successful, this decision is in the best interests of the Company in order to manage the current market environment that has been particularly harsh for junior exploration companies. We are excited to turn our attention to the Company's other exciting mineral projects which have not received as much attention as Exploradora Norte due to the obligations of the option agreement. Our primary focus will be on the Kio Buggy property located in northern Chile whereby as a result of our previously completed extensive field exploration program, we have clearly identified two potential porphyry targets."
