DLP Resources reports 48m of 1.03% copper in a trench on the 100% owned Esperanza Porphyry Copper-Molybdenum Project

Cranbrook, British Columbia, (Newsfile Corp. – March 16, 2026) DLP Resources Inc. (“DLP” or the “Company”) (TSXV:DLP) (OTCQB:DLPRF) (FSE:J8C) announces receipt of geochemical results for rock chip-panel samples taken in an additional four trenches and along an access road in the exotic copper zone at the Esperanza project (Figures 1 and 2). The previous three trench results were reported in a DLP news release dated March 09, 2026. Figure 1:  Esperanza Project Location with Principal Copper Mines and Ground Holdings of Copper Companies Results from the additional four trenches and an access road in the exotic copper zone which extends over approximately 300m x 700m have returned copper mineralized intervals of between 10 to 96m with average copper oxide values ranging from 0.19% Cu to 1.03% Cu (see Tables 1 to 10 and Figures 1 to 7). Figure 2:  Esperanza Trench Locations Highlights Trench T5_026 was 66m long and returned: 66m @ 0.66% Cu from 0m to 66m with intervals of0.98% Cu from 0m to 18m 0.88% Cu from40m to 58m (see Tables 1 & 2 and Figures 4 and 5). Trench T6_026 was 86m long and returned: 86m @ 0.73% Cu from 0m to 86m with an interval of 1.03% Cu from 36m to 84m (see Tables 3 & 4 and Figures 4 and 5). Trench T7A_026 was 96m long and returned: 96m @ 0.54% Cu from 0m to 96m with an interval of 0.75% Cu from 30m to 88m (see Tables 5 & 6 and Figure 6). Access Road Cut C1_026 was 22m long and returned: 22m @ 0.62% Cu from 0m to 22m with an interval of0.87% Cu from 0m to 10m (see Tables 9 & 10 and Figure 7). Mr. Gendall, President and CEO commented: “Further encouraging trench results across the exotic copper zone with current mapped exposures of approximately 700m x 300m have confirmed near surface copper oxides along a structural flank of a mapped porphyry copper-molybdenum system.  Characteristic quartz veining, D and A-type, hydrothermal breccias together with tourmaline and mapped alteration suggest a shallow porphyry system to the southeast of this exotic copper zone. We are very encouraged with the first phase of trenching and mapping done and we will now continue to do phase 2 detailed sampling and additional geophysics to drill test the targets later this year” Trench Rock Chip-Panel Sampling Results from rock chip-panel samples taken in an additional four trenches and along an access road in the exotic copper zone. which extends over approximately 300m x 700m are reported below (see Tables 1 to 10 and Figures 2 to 7): Table 1: Trench T5-026: Location TrenchEastingNorthingElevationLengthAzimuthInclinationIDmmmmDegreesDegreesT5-02624469781362211855.566188-25 Table 2: Trench T5-026: Summary Results for Copper TrenchFromToIntervalDescriptionCu (total)IDmmm %T5-02606666Mineralized agglomerate0.66Includes01818Mineralized agglomerate0.98Includes405818Mineralized agglomerate0.88 Table 3: Trench T6-026: Location TrenchEastingNorthingElevationLengthAzimuthInclinationIDmmmmDegreesDegreesT6-0262446258136239186786169-30 Table 4: Trench T6-026: Summary Results for Copper TrenchFromToIntervalDescriptionCu (total)IDmmm %T6-02608686Mineralized agglomerate0.73Includes368448Mineralized agglomerate1.03 Table 5: Trench T7A-026: Location TrenchEastingNorthingElevationLengthAzimuthInclinationIDmmmmDegreesDegreesT7A-0262445618136129185996125-30 Table 6: Trench T7A-026: Summary Results for Copper TrenchFromToIntervalDescriptionCu (total)IDmmm %T7A-02609696Mineralized agglomerate0.54Includes308858Mineralized agglomerate0.75 Table 7: Trench T9-026: Location TrenchEastingNorthingElevationLengthAzimuthInclinationIDmmmmDegreesDegreesT9-026244562813566318446045-25 Table 8: Trench T9-026: Summary Results for Copper TrenchFromToIntervalDescriptionCu (total)IDmmm %T9-02606060Mineralized agglomerate0.19Includes326028Mineralized agglomerate0.33 Table 9: Access Road Cut: C1-026: Location TrenchEastingNorthingElevationLengthAzimuthInclinationIDmmmmDegreesDegreesC1-0262445738136018184822324-15 Table 10: Access Road Cut C1-026: Summary Results for Copper TrenchFromToIntervalDescriptionCu (total)IDmmm %C1-02602222Mineralized agglomerate0.62Includes01010Mineralized agglomerate0.87 Quality Control and Quality Assurance DLP Resources Peru S.A.C, a subsidiary of DLP Resources Inc., supervises sampling and carries out surface sampling and mapping of outcrop at the Esperanza project. Rock chip-Panel sampling was done within a maximum area of 2m x 1m and descriptions were carried out by a geologist. Samples are bagged and sealed on site before transportation to the SGS Peru S.A.C. sample preparation facility in Arequipa by Company vehicles and staff. Rocks are crushed Drying at 100°C, primary and secondary crushing to -10 mesh (up to 6K) Division and pulverizing of 250g (95% to 140 mesh) with 70% passing
