Getty Copper Adds Second Drill Rig and Applies to List on the OTCQX Market
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 13, 2026) - Getty Copper Inc. (TSXV: GTC) ("Getty" or the "Company") is excited to announce the addition of a second drill rig to its ongoing spring drilling program, marking a significant step forward in its resource and exploration strategy. In conjunction with this operational milestone, the Company has officially commenced the application process to list its common shares on the OTC-QX Best Market ("OTCQX") and has appointed a new Manager, Corporate Communications to strengthen investor engagement, stakeholder relations, and compliance initiatives.
Drill Program Update
Two drill rigs are now in operation on site, as the Company aggressively moves forward with its drilling program, focused initially at Getty North. Over 3,000 metres of drilling have been completed to date.
The program is part of Getty's two-pronged resource and exploration-focused strategy in the district, with the primary goal of expanding and confirming the resource potential at both the Getty
North and Getty South deposits. These deposits were historically drilled to shallow depths, in a significantly lower copper price environment, with limited geological controls and minimal modern
multi-element assay data. Results and additional updates will be released as the program progresses.

The uplisting to OTCQX is a strategic initiative to enhance the Company's visibility within the U.S. investment community and provide current and future shareholders with a more transparent and efficient trading platform.
Chief Executive Officer, Ryan O'Regan, comments:
"As we ramp up 2026 drilling activities, increasing our accessibility to U.S. investors is a high priority. The OTCQX is a recognized market that requires companies to be current in their reporting and undergo an annual verification process, which we believe will provide our stakeholders with greater confidence and improved liquidity."
