Allied Copper Corp. (TSX-V: CPR, OTCQB: CPRRF) (the “Company” or
“Allied Copper”), is pleased to announce that a 1,000 metre (m)
drill program is underway at the Klondike Property (“Klondike”),
located in southwestern Colorado, United States. The drill is
turning, and the majority of drill pads and temporary drill road
access construction is complete. Notably, construction of the
access between pads L and N at the Northeast Fault target revealed
numerous new occurrences of copper oxide mineralized
sandstone.
The planned 1,000m drill program is designed to
test three separate multi-kilometre copper-mineralized targets at
the West Graben, East Graben and Northeast faults. The first phase
CAD$1 million drill program will test at least five of the 12
highest priority drillholes to a maximum depth of approximately
250m.
“With drilling at Klondike underway, we are glad
to be putting discovery opportunities in front of our
shareholders.” stated Warner Uhl, Chairman of Allied Copper.
“Drilling of the Northeast Fault, West Graben and East Graben areas
comes on the back of compelling surface results identified during
our 2021 exploration program. We look forward to testing the copper
potential of these structures at depth. The program is expected to
take between four to six weeks to complete, with the final assay
results anticipated to be released in early in Q4.”

About The Klondike Property
The Klondike Property is located approximately
25 kilometres south of Naturita, Colorado. This property lies
within the Paradox Copper Belt, which includes the producing Lisbon
Valley Mining Complex. Numerous historical copper occurrences have
been identified throughout the district, however, many of these
have not been explored using modern exploration techniques.
A 2021 reconnaissance program consisting of
mapping, stream sediment sampling and rock sampling was undertaken
at the Klondike Property to help define drill targets at the West
Graben Fault and East Graben Fault targets. Rock sampling and
mapping successfully expanded the footprint of both targets and
identified a new target named the Northeast Fault. Sampling at the
Northeast Fault returned 1.56% copper and 1.4 grams per tonne
(“g/t”) silver over a 4.6 metre chip sample of bleached, bitumen
spotted and altered Jurassic sandstones of the Saltwash member of
the Morrison Formation.
Copper mineralized sandstones at the Northeast
Fault target can be traced along the fault and outboard from it
into the adjacent sandstones over an area 200 metres long by 100
metres wide before becoming obscured beneath gravel cover. Further
anomalous copper, including 2.1 metres of 463 ppm copper, was
encountered over one kilometre to the northwest where the structure
and host strata next appear from beneath the same gravel cover.
At Klondike, documented copper exploration
ceased in the 1960s with subsequent exploration targeting uranium
during the 1970s. Previous workers in the 1990’s reported
high-grade copper mineralization highlighted by results of 6.3%
copper and 23.3 g/t silver in outcrop. In addition to its
high-grade potential, disseminated copper-silver mineralization has
been observed which may be amenable to modern open pit mining with
Solvent Extraction Electrowinning (“SXEW”) processing, similar to
the Lisbon Valley Mining Complex. Sedimentary hosted copper
deposits are an important contributor to world copper production,
accounting for more than 20% of the world’s copper supply
annually.
The project is road accessible year-round and
two kilometres from paved highway.

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking
information relating to any future mineral production, liquidity,
enhanced value and capital markets profile of Allied Copper Corp.,
future growth potential for Allied Copper and its business, and
future exploration plans are based on management’s reasonable
assumptions, estimates, expectations, analyses and opinions, which
are based on management’s experience and perception of trends,
current conditions and expected developments, and other factors
that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the
circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions
have been made regarding, among other things, the price of copper
and other metals; no escalation in the severity of the COVID-19
pandemic; costs of exploration and development; the estimated costs
of development of exploration projects; Allied Copper’ ability to
