Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 10, 2024) - Kutcho Copper Corp. (TSXV: KC) (OTCQX: KCCFF) ("Kutcho Copper" or the "Company") announces that it has closed the previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement" or "Offering") for total gross proceeds of $1,440,000. The Company has issued 14,400,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one transferable common share purchase warrant (each a "Warrant") exercisable at a price of $0.20 per common share (each a "Warrant Share") for a period of 24 months from the closing date, subject to accelerated expiry as described herein.

If the closing price of the Company's Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other principal exchange on which the Common Shares may be traded at such time) is equal to or greater than $0.35 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may (but is not required to), at its sole discretion, accelerate the expiry date of Warrants to the date which is 15 days following the date upon which notice of the accelerated expiry date is provided by the Company to the holders of the Warrants (given by way of news release).

All securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from closing. In addition to the statutory hold period, 7,200,000 Common Shares forming part of the Units were applied contractual restrictions on transfer of 6 months and the remaining 7,200,000 Common Shares were applied contractual restrictions on transfer of 12 months. The Warrants issued under the Private Placement were applied a contractual restriction of 6 months, and any Warrants exercised into Warrant Shares during this 6 month period, will also bear a restriction until 6 months from the Private Placement closing. The Private Placement is subject to final TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval.

In connection with the closing, the Company agreed to pay cash finder's fees of $57,260 and issue 572,600 finder warrants, each finder warrant exercisable to purchase one common share for 12 months at a price of $0.20 per common share. The finders warrants are subject to same resale provisions noted above.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the sale of Units to advance the Kutcho Project and for general administrative and working capital expenses.
