News Release

Marimaca Extends Pampa Medina Norte Discovery – Intersects 68m at 1.20% and 40m at 1.07% CuT in Dominantly Oxides with Assays Pending for Deep Sulphide Extension

Vancouver, British Columbia, May 15[th] , 2025 – Marimaca Copper Corp. (“Marimaca Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX:MARI, ASX:MC2) is pleased to announce results of further drilling at Pampa Medina Norte, the recently discovered northern extension of the Pampa Medina Deposit.

The latest result from hole SMD-01, follows news of the discovery hole - SMR-01 on December 30, 2024, which identified this northern extension of the Pampa Medina deposit, located approximately 26km from the Company’s flagship Marimaca Oxide Deposit (“ MOD ”).

Hole SMD-01 is the first diamond drill hole targeting validation and depth-extension of the reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling. SMD-01 was drilled to a final depth of 950m with assays pending from 600m to the bottom of the hole.

Highlights

  • Hole SMR-01 and SMD-01 were drilled approximately 400m north of the known northern extent of the Pampa Medina deposit (see Figure 3)

  • SMD-01 was drilled to a final depth of 950m to investigate the potential for repeating manto-mineralized units at depth in primary mineralization

  • SMD-01 confirms the material extension of the sediment-hosted ‘manto-style’ mineralization

  • Confirmation of high-grade, oxide manto in the upper part of the sedimentary horizon consistent with Pampa Medina deposit and SMR-01

  • New zone of manto-style sulphide mineralization identified at depth containing dominantly chalcopyritebornite mineralization in deeper, interbedded sandstone and conglomerate units with variable intensity

  • Assays pending for 600m-950m will be released to the market when received and validated

  • Highlights from the upper section of SMD-01 are below:

  • 242m at 0.65% CuT from 252m including:

    • 68m at 1.20% CuT from 298m, including

      • 20m at 2.25% CuT from 298m

      • 32m at 1.03% CuT from 332m

    • 74m at 0.84% CuT from 420m, including

      • 40m at 1.07% CuT from 420m
  • Results from the upper zone in SMD-01 validates the previous RC drilling in SMR-01

  • Deviation of SMD-01 is approximately 25m north of SMR-01 in the upper oxide manto

  • True widths cannot be determined at this time, however SMD-01 was orientated to target perpendicular intersections of the key manto-hosting lithological units

  • Two additional deep diamond drill holes remain pending at Pampa Medina exploring the potential for extension of the system at depth (see Figures 2 and 3)

  • SMD-02, drilled at Pampa Medina main 650m south of SMD-01, encountered visual copper mineralization in the Pampa Medina upper manto, and polymetallic mineralization at depth, in a lower metasedimentary unit, including galena and sphalerite

==> picture [596 x 99] intentionally omitted <==

  • Indicates the potential presence of other horizons prospective for mineralization and other mineralized bodies not previously considered

  • Results will be released to the market when received and validated – sample preparation is underway

Sergio Rivera, VP Exploration of Marimaca Copper, commented:

“The scale and intensity of mineralization at Pampa Medina Norte continues to impress us. We now think the system has good potential for stacked mantos which, based on our review of historical drilling data, could be extensive across the broader Sierra De Medina project area.

We are encouraged by the continuation of mineralization at depth, especially the visual bornite and chalcopyrite, These findings also serve to further improve our understanding of the sulphide body which has the potential to be highly accretive to the high-quality overlying oxide leachable manto, where our PEA for the integration into the MOD is progressing. SMD-02, for which we are currently preparing samples to be assayed, presented a surprise intersection of polymetallic mineralization, which we had not previously considered, but further supports our view that this system has significant ongoing exploration potential.

We are looking forward to updating the market in the near-term on the results from the assays at depth, as well as our additional deep drill holes at Pampa Medina main. Our view remains that we are still in the very early days of the Pampa Medina story and the consolidation of the area has allowed, for the first time, the development of our overall thesis that Pampa Medina and its surroundings represents a single, large scale mineralized system which could be highly complementary to the MOD.”

Overview of Pampa Medina

Pampa Medina is a manto-style copper deposit dominantly hosted in Jurassic-Triassic sedimentary units (sandstones, conglomerates, tuffs and black shales) overlain by andesitic volcanics and underlaying by a Upper Paleozoic complex of metasediments and intrusions. Copper is found predominantly in oxide species dominated by atacamite, chrysocolla and both secondary and primary chalcocite. Primary sulphides encountered to date correspond to variable amounts of chalcopyrite and bornite.

Hole SMD-01 was drilled approximately 400m north of the northern margin of the known deposit at Pampa Medina. SMD01 was collared at Azimuth 270°, Dip -60° and drilled to a total depth of 950m. The collar was located 12m SE from SMR-01 but further deviated, reaching approximately 70m at the 650m depth. High grade copper oxide mineralization was intersected from 252m-494m downhole depth in an upper unit of sandstones and shales. Rhyolitic tuff, intruded by late dykes was intersected below the upper sediments from 492m to 564m and below that another more clastic rich unit extends up to the bottom of the hole. Metasediment basement was not reached at depth in hole SMD-01, meaning that the productive sedimentary unit increases in thickness towards the north. Mineralization transitioned to primary chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization at 550m, with increasing intensity of bornite content at depth. The hole was terminated at 950m.

SMD-01 confirms the sediment-hosted oxide mineralization encountered in SMR-01, which is largely interpreted as the extension of the sediment-hosted manto deposits of Pampa Medina main (see Figure 2). Historical drilling at Pampa

==> picture [596 x 99] intentionally omitted <==

Medina was generally limited to a depth of 400m, potentially too shallow to intersect the chalcopyrite-bornite dominant manto mineralization found in SMR-01, confirmed and potentially extended at depth by SMD-01.

Sampling and Assay Protocols

True widths cannot be determined with the information available at this time. DDH holes were sampled on a 2m continuous basis, halved by a conventional core splitter on site with one half sent to the Andes Analytical Assay preparation laboratory in Copiapó and the pulps then sent to the same company laboratory in Santiago for assaying. Samples were prepared using the following standard protocol: drying; crushing all sample to -1/4” and passing through a secondary crusher to better than 80% passing -10#; homogenizing; splitting; pulverizing a 400-600g subsample to 95% passing -150#; and a 125g split of this sent for assaying. All samples were assayed for %CuT (total copper); %CuS (acid soluble copper). A full QA/QC program, involving insertion of appropriate blanks, standards and

In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

•Between 1993 and 1996, Compañía Minera Doña Isabel and Rayrock

included a geochemistry program with short Track Drill wells spaced
every 50 m along several E–W lines between 2 km and 5 km in
length, which extend throughout the district, covering the
southeastern part of the Pampa concessions in an area of
approximately 460 ha. The aim was to evaluate the rock below the
caliche layer. In this area, approximately 600 samples were obtained,
representing 40% of the total samples extracted throughout the
