Coyote Copper Mines Inc. Announces Completion of Its Initial Geophysical Interpretation Revealing a Potential Large-Scale Donut Anomaly Consistent with Major Porphyry Systems

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – May 12, 2026) – Coyote Copper Mines Inc. (TSXV: CCMM) (“CCMM” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to report the completion and preliminary interpretation of its integrated geophysical and hyperspectral program at the Copper Springs and Gibson claim packages in Arizona.

The results collectively point toward the potential presence of a large, well-developed porphyry copper system, with geophysical signatures that may exceed the scale typically observed in comparable global deposits. This work completes a major component of CCMM’s 2026 exploration plan, which included drone magnetics, hyperspectral satellite imaging, CSEM, MT, 3D IP surveys, and soil geochemistry, as well as geological mapping, sampling, and relogging of historical drill core.

“A Potentially Large Porphyry System Emerging From the Data”

In CCMM’S press releases dated April 9, and April 16, 2026, CCMM outlined its exploration plans.

CCMM initiated a multi-disciplinary exploration program including:

  1. Hyperspectral Satellite Surveys
  2. Drone Magnetic Surveys
  3. MT and 3D IP geophysical surveys
  4. Relogging of historical drill core
  5. Soil Sampling
  6. Mapping, logging, and chip sampling
  7. Channel sampling
  8. Drill permits
  9. Drilling

The purpose of this preliminary work was to help us optimize the drill locations.

CEO Dan Weir commented: “The geophysical information has returned results better than we expected. The Drone Magnetics are showing a massive magnetic low, and the 3D MT-IP geophysics are showing a ‘Donut shape’ around the Magnetic low.”

Weir added: “Many large mining companies look for donut-shaped geophysical anomalies. Normally the donut shapes are 2-3 km in size; we are interpreting an anomaly that is much larger.”

This observation is significant. In global porphyry exploration, donut anomalies of 2-3 km are associated with major copper systems, such as those in Chile, Peru, and the southwestern United States. CCMM’s anomaly appears to exceed this scale, suggesting the potential for a large mineralized footprint.

What is a “Donut” Geophysical Anomaly? Also known as the “BHP Donut”

  1. Large Donut = Large Alteration System = Potential for Large Tonnage. A donut anomaly may represent the alteration halo around a porphyry centre.

“Why the Size of the Donut Matters”

The larger the halo, the potential for a larger hydrothermal system that produced it.

At Copper Springs and Gibson:

The magnetic low indicates magnetite-destructive phyllic alteration. (Source: “A ‘donut’ shaped magnetic low often represents magnetite-destructive alteration… around a central core.”)

The surrounding IP chargeability highs and resistivity lows indicate sulphide-rich shells typical of porphyry copper systems.

The scale of the anomaly exceeds the 2-3 km diameter commonly referenced in BHP’s global exploration work.

  • BHP has used this technique to identify potential targets in regions like Chile (e.g., the Cristal Project near Arica), where a 2-3km donut feature was identified in 2012-2014, signaling a potential buried porphyry.
  • Serbian Project (Timok): Exploration targets similar to the Majdanpek porphyry copper deposit in Serbia, linked to BHP’s interests, included a donut-shaped high IP chargeability anomaly, which is a key indicator for a pyrite shell.

Please note: The information disclosed concerning BHP’s results is not necessarily indicative to the mineralization found on CMM’s properties.

This combination is consistent with large, multi-phase porphyry systems capable of hosting significant copper endowments.

  1. Multi-Dataset Confirmation Increases Confidence in Scale, The donut signature is not coming from a single dataset.

It is separately confirmed by Drone Magnetics: A large, coherent magnetic low sits at the centre of the project area and centered inside the west donut.

CSEM & MT: Deep conductivity contrasts outline the same geometry at depth.

Hyperspectral Satellite Imaging: A propylitic halo surrounds a potassic core-exactly the alteration architecture expected in large porphyry systems.

When multiple geophysical and geological datasets align on the same geometry, the probability of a significant mineralized system increases substantially.

  1. Geological Mapping Confirms a Multi-Kilometre Hydrothermal System:

– Multi-generation breccias
– Pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization
– Phyllic and propylitic alteration
– Multiple intrusive phases

These features are consistent with the upper and lateral portions of a porphyry system, and their distribution corresponds to the geophysical footprint of the eastern donut.

  1. Depth Advantage:

Targets Begin at Surface, unlike the adjacent Resolution Mine where mineralization begins at ~1,200 m depth. CCMM’s targets begin at or near surface, significantly reducing:

– Drilling costs
– Time to discovery
– Capital intensity of early exploration

This is a rare advantage in a Tier-1 porphyry district.

In summary, the geophysical surveys outline the following:

Drone Magnetics-
A large, coherent magnetic low sits at the centre of the project area.

3D IP (Chargeability & Resistivity)-
A ring-shaped chargeability high surrounds the magnetic low.

CSEM & MT-
Deep conductivity contrasts outline the same geometry at depth.

Hyperspectral Satellite Imaging-
A propylitic halo surrounds a potassic core-exactly the alteration architecture expected in large porphyry systems.

When multiple geophysical and geological datasets align on the same geometry, the probability of a significant mineralized system increases substantially.

What this means for the Investor:

1. The scale of the anomaly suggests a potentially large porphyry system. Large porphyry systems globally exhibit similar multi-kilometre donut signatures.

2. Multiple datasets confirm the same geometry.
This reduces exploration risk and increases confidence.

3. Targets begin at surface. This accelerates the path to discovery and reduces cost.

4. CCMM controls the land package surrounding the anomaly. This provides full exposure to the upside.

Deep Blue Geophysics Re-Interpretation

  • Deep Blue employed its proprietary DeepBlueEM2D code to conduct 2D Spectral IP inversions of two legacy SIP profiles collected by Zonge in 2007. This provided a 2D model of resistivity and chargeability beneath each profile.

QUALIFIED PERSON

Michael N. Feinstein, PhD, CPG, is the “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101-Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and he has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure contained in this press release. Michael is independent of the Issuer.

Zonge International completed the field work for the CSEM/SIP

  • Zonge International Acquired CSEM/SIP and broadband MT data on the Copper Springs Project on a 3D grid. Vector stations of Ex, Ey were planned and setup at 59 stations. Roughly half of the stations measured Hx, Hy magnetic fields. 14 transmitter dipoles are planned to be read from 7 transmitter locations.
  • The transmitted signal was a 100-percent duty-cycle square wave. Initial base frequencies were 0.125, 1, 8, and 64 Hz. Total read time was approximately 2 hours per transmitter dipole.
  • All MT data was acquired from 0.01-1,024Hz, the data was collected before and after the CSEM/SIP reads. All data was acquired at 4096 samples per second.
  • A distant remote reference site was deployed. The remote site was deployed away from powerlines, pipelines, and other cultural electromagnetic sources to the extent possible. A location to the SE of the grid was chosen.
  • ZONGE surveyed the station locations and wire path using Garmin 64s Handheld GPS.
  • All acquired field data was checked through a QA/QC review and processed daily using the Zonge CSEM and MT Processing workflow. The data was processed in two large batches. One about halfway through the project and once at the end.
  • Instrumentation consisted of ZONGE broadband ZEN receivers. Magnetic field data was acquired with ZONGE ANT-4 low frequency broadband induction feedback coils. There will be spare receivers on site if possible. The receiver electrodes will consist of rusted steel plates.
  • The source for the CSEM/SIP data was a Zonge GGT-10, 10 KVA transmitter system. Multiple systems were utilized to minimize delays between transmitter reads If 90% of the source-receiver combinations and 90% of the MT soundings were successfully acquired without equipment failure or operator error.

Zonge Engineering – Drone Magnetic Survey

  • Zonge covered an area of 33 km2, with lines-oriented east-west at 50-meter line spacing. The approximate total coverage is 650 line-km.
  • Magnetic data was acquired using a Drone-based magnetometer system. The magnetic system comprises a Geometrics MagArrow cesium vapor total-field scalar magnetometer. The platform is a battery-operated DJI Matrice 300 RTK quad-copter. The magnetometer will be attached to the drone using 3-meter suspension cables. GPS positions and total field intensity data are recorded continuously at a sample rate of 1000 Hz and reduced to 10 Hz during post-processing. Drone speed will be set between 8 and 9 m/s, depending on the terrain. The 10 Hz data sampling interval, acquired at a speed of 9 m/s, yields approximately 1 m data points along flight lines. Flight altitude will be 50m AGL. The line locations are subject to change based on flight logistics, terrain, ground access, and the UAV’s line of visual sight.
  • Flight paths were planned using Universal Ground Control Station terrain following software and uploaded to the UAV prior to each flight. Elevation data for flight altitude control will be sampled from USGS LiDAR terrain data.
  • High winds or sudden gusts of wind can cause a pendulum motion in the tow cable, which could set the sensor out of proper orientation. The Geometrics MagArrow has two Micro-Fabricated Atomic Magnetometer (MFAM) sensors ensuring that when one sensor is in its dead zone the other is at its optimum orientation. This avoids reading dropouts during the survey. The MagArrow has a 5nT heading error, which will be compensated for by flying a calibration flight. Data was compensated using software developed by Geometrics.
  • A base magnetometer recorded continuously at a fixed ground location to allow for diurnal corrections.

Copper Springs Project May 2007 Zonge Engineering 2D IP

  • 250-meter dipoles were used to collect dipole-dipole frequency domain CRIP data on the two CRIP lines completed at Copper Springs. CRIP data collected in a series of receiver transmitter dipole combinations create a pseudo-depth plot referred to as a “pseudosection” (n = 1 is a shallow reading; n = 6 is the deepest). The rule is: The greater the “n” space number, the greater the depth of investigation. Resistivities are calculated from voltage measurements and the array geometry. With this dipole-dipole array it ispossible to electrically image features to depths of 750 meters with the TS2DIP inversion software developed by Zonge. Basic complex resistivity data (CRIP) were collected at 0.125 Hz. The current-controlled waveform produced by the GGT series transmitter at 0.125 Hz approximates an idealizedsquare wave. Deconvolution of the Fourier transform of digitized time-series voltage with an idealized current produces complex resistivity data. This allows four harmonic components to be calculated at the fundamental frequency of 0.125 Hz (0.375, 0.625, 0.875 and 1.125 Hz), providing a total of five measured frequencies per stack. Multiple stacks were collected at each setup.
  • Dipole-dipole voltage and phase data are displayed as “Apparent Resistivity”, “Raw Phase at 0.125 Hz” and “Three-frequency DC corrected Phase” (3-Pt DC Phase). Multifrequency resistivity and phase data obtained from this single frequency transmitted square wave signal provide sufficient bandwidth to correct “Raw Phase” data for array-based electromagnetic coupling. Induced polarization (IP) is determined from these corrected phase values. Other than differences due to electromagnetic (EM) coupling, phase isdirectly related to “induced polarization IP”. The “Three-frequency DC” (direct current) phase correction is based on a quadratic equation defined by three frequencies: the phase at 0.125 Hz (fundamental frequency)along with the third and fifth harmonic phase data. The “zero” frequency intercept defines a phase value that approximates the IP response. Since the contribution of electromagnetic coupling is theoretically “zero” at “zero” frequency, this results in a reasonably accurate measure of induced polarization IP.
  • Electromagnetic (EM) coupling levels encountered at Copper Springs were not unusual. EM coupling is proportional to frequency: CRIP data were collected at 0.125 Hz. EM coupling is proportional to the square of the dipole length: while the 250 meter dipole lengths used at Copper Springs will produce electromagnetic coupling, resistivities are reasonably high. EM coupling is inversely proportional to the survey resistivities: the moderately high resistivities encountered at Copper Springs produce minimal EM coupling. A comparison between “Raw Phase at 0.125 Hz” and “Three-frequency DC corrected Phase” (3-Pt DC Phase) pseudosections indicates the degree of the EM coupling present.

Deep Blue Geophysics – Interpretation of Zonge’s Data

  • Deep Blue Geophysics LLC (Deep Blue) completed specialized Data Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC) and advanced 3D inversion services, for CCMM. This project focused on the integration of broadband Controlled-Source Electromagnetic (CSEM) and Magnetotelluric (MT) data collected by Zonge at the Copper Springs site.
  • Deep Blue performed a rigorous audit of all Zonge deliverables to ensure the highest data integrity before modeling. This included:
  • CSEM Analysis: Inspection of response data for each transmitter-receiver pair to ensure signal quality.
  • MT Analysis: Systematic review of MT response data for each receiver station to identify and mitigate environmental noise or artifacts.
  • Joint 3D Spectral IP Inversion Deep Blue employed proprietary DeepBlueEM3D platform to conduct a sophisticated 3D Spectral IP inversion, providing a 3D model of resistivity and chargeability. This workflow integrates the CSEM and MT data to provide a unified subsurface model.
  • Integrated Dataset: Zonge CSEM and MT data was collected at approximately 59 receiver stations using 7 transmitter dipoles
  • Modeling Parameters: Inversions utilized a frequency range of 0.125 Hz to 1000 Hz to resolve spectral IP (resistivity amplitude and phase).
  • Staged Modeling Workflow: 1. Stand-alone 3D inversion of MT data. 2. Stand-alone 3D inversion of CSEM data. 3. Joint 3D inversion of the combined MT-CSEM dataset.
  • Objective: Interpretation & Drill Targeting Following the inversion process, Deep Blue collaborated with Coyote Copper Mines to interpret the 3D volumes. This phase ensures that geophysical anomalies are cross-referenced with geological context to provide prioritized recommendations for future drill-hole locations.

HyperSpectral – Satellite Survey by Earth Daily (EDA)

  • EDA’s Base Earth Composites (BEC) are unique multispectral datasets that have been specifically engineered to provide the best quality and data coverage over any AOI across the globe.
  • ASTER data, considered the workhorse of remote sensing (RS) mineral exploration, is used as the base of our Fused BEC data, contributing 6 bands of SWIR data (30 m) to the composite. This is combined with 9 bands from the Sentinel-2 multispectral (MS) dataset to provide better coverage (more bands) and higher resolution (10/20 resolution predominately) over the VNIR.
  • EDA’s FUSED BEC’s are particularly valued for greenfields exploration, as they provide early indications of mineral alteration (mapping mineral groups as indices, band ratios and (R,G,B) images at a regional scale). This results in the generation of RS maps that may target alteration.
  • Airborne hyperspectral data (i.e. from USGS or other suppliers), such as AVIRIS Classic is a great source of mineral mapping data, with 224 bands of continuous data with a good medium spatial resolution of 15 m.
  • New spaceborne hyperspectral data (i.e. PRISMA or EnMap sensors), with hundreds of bands over the VNIR-SWIR provide the capability of mineral species mapping, despite their 30 m spatial resolution. This can be a huge advantage as you have much more confidence that targeted alteration is the ‘right’ composition for the deposit type you are targeting.
  • Data from the Bare Earth Composite (BEC) multispectral data products will provide insights on compositional variability across the Copper Springs project area. All data will be masked for water, vegetation, snow, cloud, cloud-shadow and topographic shadow (if needed), to eliminate the potential for false-positives. A suite of compositional mapping products from the BEC data will be generated for Fe-oxides, hydrothermal minerals, clays, micas, phyllosilicates and carbonates over the project AOI, and will be used to provide generalized guidance on alteration and lithology compositional characteristics across the AOI (Table 1). Additional processing will be undertaken using transforms like PCA and MNF to map any lithology or significant compositional differences across the study area.
  • ASTER Emissivity data is also available and will be checked in case it is helpful for highlighting the presence of silicates (i.e. quartz), but it does have limitations at a spatial resolution of 90 m, and there may be gaps in coverage in the north. Lastly, available DEM datasets (including those from AG) will be used to provide elevation and hillshade products to combine with selected BEC products as is found to be useful for visualization.

Coyote Copper Mines Inc. Begins Exploration Work on New Sulphide Copper Zone

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 16, 2026) – Coyote Copper Mines Inc. (TSXV: CCMM) (the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has begun work on a newly discovered zone, with exposed copper sulphide mineralization and magmatic breccias within the Copper Triangle of Arizona. Channel samples are being cut with a Diamond Saw and dispatched to American Assayers Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada for Analysis.

As outlined in CCMM’s April 9, 2026 press release, the Corporation has now initiated a multi-disciplinary exploration program across the project area.

Current program components

  • Hyperspectral and satellite surveys
  • Drone magnetic surveys
  • MT and 3D IP geophysical surveys
  • Relogging of historical drill core
  • Soil sampling
  • Mapping, logging, and chip sampling
  • Channel sampling
  • Drill permitting

Recent field efforts have led to the identification of a new mineralized zone, which includes a breccia pipe referred to as the Maher Breccia. The broader zone remains under active evaluation, with current project mapping indicating a strike length of more than 4 km and a width exceeding 600 m.

Dan Weir commented: “The 96 historical drill holes and the historical resource at the Copper Springs Project were largely focused on oxide and transition-zone copper mineralization. Finding sulphide copper and molybdenum mineralization at surface, rather than at depths of roughly 1,200 m like the Resolution deposit, is a game changer for us. This new zone has already attracted the attention of larger companies.”

Copper Bullet Mines: A Tale of Arizona Copper and the Lure of the Blue Sky

Well now, gather ’round, folks, and lend an ear to a tale I’ve just fetched back from the scorching, sun-drenched bosom of Arizona. I’ve seen my share of ground, from the muddy banks of rivers where fortunes were plucked like ripe berries, to the high, lonesome stretches where men chased whispers of silver. But this journey, this recent pilgrimage to the Copper Springs Project, well, it’s got a particular glint to it, like a freshly panned nugget winking in the sun. And it involves a company, mind you, called Copper Bullet Mines, a name that just sings of purpose and potential.

I tell you, the air out there near the Copper Springs Project – it’s thick with history, a real palimpsest of ambition and discovery. This ain’t some greenhorn’s hopeful dig in the backyard, no sir. This is the Arizona Copper Triangle, a place where the earth has been generous, spilling forth its metallic bounty for generations. You drive through that country, and you see the monuments to past triumphs: the grand, gaping maw of the Miami-Inspiration Mine, a titan of copper production in its day; the storied hills around Superior, where the mighty Resolution Copper Project is set to redefine the very notion of a “big find.” And let’s not forget the enduring prowess of the Ray Mine, still humming along, pulling copper from the ground with the steady hand of an old pro.

Now, why does a seasoned old bird like myself, who’s seen more rock than a pebble on a riverbed, get a glint in his eye over Copper Bullet Mines? It’s the “blue sky potential,” my friends, a phrase that makes a prospector’s heart beat a little faster than a drummer at a Fourth of July parade.

I just returned from walking that ground, feeling the sun bake the dust on my boots, and what I saw wasn’t just dirt and creosote bush. I saw opportunity. Copper Springs isn’t just sitting near these giants; it’s sitting in the same neighborhood. And in mining, as in life, a good neighborhood counts for a whole lot. These weren’t just random rock formations; they were geological kin to the very deposits that made fortunes for others. The historical data, the old drill holes, the very whispers of the wind seemed to confirm it: there’s more copper in them thar hills.

The land itself, a canvas of reds and browns under an endless sky, tells a story of volcanic activity, of ancient forces that squeezed and cooked and concentrated the very stuff we now clamor for. And in this modern age, where every gadget and every electric vehicle demands more copper than we’re currently producing, finding a new, significant source isn’t just a good idea – it’s a necessity. That’s the blue sky I’m talking about: the potential for a new major discovery in a world that’s thirsting for it.

Now, here’s where the rubber meets the road, or rather, where the shovel meets the ore. Copper Bullet Mines is on the cusp of something rather exciting. They’re in the midst of a raise for C$0.14 cents per share. A modest sum, perhaps, for a piece of what could be the next great Arizona copper story. And soon, they’ll be shedding the chrysalis of a private endeavor and going public. That, my friends, is when the wider world gets its chance to hitch its wagon to this particular star.

It’s not often you get a front-row seat to a potential discovery in such a pedigreed district. The big boys, the established mines around them, they’re not just neighbors; they’re proof of concept. They’re the living, breathing evidence that this ground can yield riches. And Copper Bullet, with its Copper Springs Project, is looking to join that distinguished company.

So, if you’ve got an adventurous spirit and an eye for what might lie beneath the surface, keep a keen watch on Copper Bullet Mines. For in that Arizona dust, beneath that boundless blue sky, there might just be another chapter in the grand, old tale of copper. And I, Maurice Jackson, for one, am mighty keen to see how it unfolds.

I’ve been a shareholder since 2022 and own a significant amount of shares. I am biased.

AIM6 Enters into Binding Letter of Intent for Qualifying Transaction

Copper Bullet Mines, Proven and Probable

​TORONTO, ONTARIO – April 17, 2023 – AIM6 Ventures Inc. (TSXV: AIMF.P) (“AIM6” or the “Company”) and Copper Bullet Mines Inc. (“CBMI”) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a binding letter of intent dated April 17, 2023, pursuant to which AIM6 and CBMI intend to complete a business combination or other similarly structured transaction which will constitute a reverse take-over of AIM6 (the “Transaction”). It is intended that the Transaction will be an arm’s length “Qualifying Transaction” for AIM6, as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 of the Corporate Finance Manual of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”).

​

Upon consummation of the definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”), a comprehensive news release will be issued setting out the terms of the Transaction and the proposed financing of CBMI in connection with the Transaction.

​

About Copper Bullet Mines Inc.

​

Since its incorporation on April 10, 2021, CBMI has acquired, through staking and option, a significant land package in the heart of Arizona’s Copper Triangle. CBMI’s Copper Springs Project (the “Property”) has more than 96 historic drills holes and a historic, non-43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource of 47 million tonnes grading 0.4% copper (NI 43-101 Technical Report Copper Springs Project, Gila County, Arizona. Feinstein, 2022), equating to over 400 million lbs of copper contained. This historic resource is one of many exploration targets across the Property and represents approximately 10% of the Historic Supergene Oxide Blanket (HSOB) footprint which was identified by wide spaced drilling in the 1960s.

​

The Property is adjacent to Arizona State highway 60, located 1 hour east of Phoenix. High voltage power lines cross the project and water is available from perennial springs. The Property is surrounded by producing mines, including Capstone’s Pinto Valley, KGHM’s Carlotta mine, Group Mexico’s Ray Mine, and various other mines and projects owned by South 32, BHP, Rio Tinto and Freeport-McMoRan.

​

The Globe-Miami, Arizona area, where the Property is situated, has produced over 37 billion lbs of copper. A recent report published by the Arizona Geological Study suggests unmined resources to be over 94 billion lbs of copper (Geology and History of the Globe-Miami Region, Gila and Pinal County, Arizona. Briggs, 2022). The Copper Triangle is also home to 2 of the 3 copper smelters in the USA.

​

From exploration through discovery, development, capital raising, and successful execution of commercial mining and milling operations, CBMI’s team includes a full-range of experienced industry professionals. Additional information about CBMI may be found on its website: www.copperbulletmines.com.

​

Any reference to historical estimates and resources should not be relied upon. These historical estimates are not current and a “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate and CBMI is not treating the historical estimate as a current resource estimate.

​

AIM6 Ventures

​

AIM6 was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on February 13, 2021 and is a Capital Pool Company (as defined in the policies of the TSXV) listed on the TSXV. AIM6 has no commercial operations and no assets other than cash.

​

Qualified Person

“Copper is the New Oil”

According to Goldman Sachs

By 2025, the metals could be priced at $15,000 a tonne (U$6.80 per pound), a rise of 66%. (current copper price is $9,300 per tonne (U$4.24 per pound)) Goldman said in a report titled “Copper is the new Oil”

​

The report also drills down into three drivers of green copper demand: electric vehicles (EVs); solar power and wind power. The bank estimates that 5.1 million EVs likely will be sold in 2021, rising to 31.51 million EVs in the year 2030. It also forecasts that 30 million charging units will be installed in 2030.

​

A rising tide of electrification, as many countries seek to lower their emissions through developing new technologies, promises robust demand for years to come. Global copper production would need to rise by between 3% and 6% per annum by 2030 for countries to meet the targets of the Paris Agreement on climate change, according to a Sept. 14 Bernstein Research note.
