DLP Resources reports 54m of 1.53% copper in a trench on the 100 % owned Esperanza project and confirms Silver-Gold-Arsenic-Antimony anomalies coincident with previously reported Molybdenum and Copper in rock chips / Appoints Joe Phillips to the Board

Cranbrook, British Columbia, (Newsfile Corp. – March 9, 2026) DLP Resources Inc. (“DLP” or the “Company”) (TSXV:DLP) (OTCQB:DLPRF) announces receipt of geochemical results for three (3) of nine (9) trenches in the exotic copper zone and geochemical  analysis of gold (Au) and silver (Ag) and a suite of 49 elements in 94 pulps from rock samples taken previously from the Esperanza project immediately south of the Chapi Mine in Southern Peru (Figure 1 and see DLP Resources Inc., news releases dated March 13, 2024 and April 25, 2024). Results from three of the nine trenches on the exotic copper oxide zone which extends over approximately 300m x 700m have returned copper mineralized intervals of between 48 to 82m with average copper values ranging from 0.29 % Cu to 2.29 % Cu (see Tables 1 to 3 and Figures 2 and 3). Additional analysis of silver (Ag) and gold (Au) plus copper (Cu), Molybdenum (Mo) arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), lead (Pb), bismuth (Bi), barium (Ba) and zinc (Zn) in the re-analysis of pulps of rock samples taken in the initial reconnaissance sampling have returned consistent association of As–Sb–Pb–Bi ± Ba, with anomalous Mo and low Zn, characteristic of proximal phyllic alteration developed above or laterally to a potential mineralized core. This is within mapped intrusive stocks and polymictic breccias within the overlying volcanics (Figures 4 to 14). The additional geochemical analysis of Au and Ag and the re-interpretation of all geochemical data have confirmed geochemical anomalies over the previously reported magnetic high surrounded by magnetic lows co-incident with mapped porphyry related alteration, high resolution spectral alteration mineral mapping and anomalous copper and molybdenum anomalies (see Figure 14) and DLP Resources Inc., news releases dated January 05, 2026). Highlights Trench T1_026 was 54m long and cut through the mineralized zone on an azimuth of 055 degrees and an inclination of -15 degrees (Table 1). The 54m interval returned 1.53% Copper (see Tables 1 & 2).Trench T2_026 was 48m long and cut through the mineralized zone on an azimuth of 13 degrees and an inclination of -25 degrees.  The 48m trench returned an interval of 38m of 0.34 % copper from 10m to 48m (see Tables 3 & 4).Trench T3_026 was 82m long and cut through the mineralized zone on an azimuth of 10 degrees and an inclination of -25 degrees.  The 82m interval returned 0.62 % copper (see Tables 5 & 6). Rock geochemistry shows a consistent association of As–Sb–Pb–Bi ± Ba, with anomalous Mo and low Zn, characteristic of proximal phyllic alteration developed above or laterally to a mineralized core.The presence of disseminated tourmaline and the Bi–Mo association supports the interpretation of high-temperature fluids proximal to the intrusive source, with effective vectoring potential toward the center of the porphyry system.Anomalous Au values concentrated along structures, with generally low Ag, but locally up to 82g/t Ag (~2oz) within a discrete structure, indicate late-stage hydrothermal pulses focused along faults, consistent with a potential telescoped porphyry system and without evidence of extensive epithermal development.Low surface Cu values over the central RTP – high magnetic anomaly suggests that the Cu–Mo core is not exposed, with a higher probability of occurrence along the flanks of the RTP magnetic high or at greater depth, particularly in zones where As–Sb decrease and Cu–Mo increase (Figure 14). The elongated reduced to pole (RTP) magnetic high (~3 × 2 km) defines a potential magnetite-bearing intrusive corridor with strong structural control, consistent with a large-scale porphyry system. Mr. Gendall, President and CEO commented: “Trenching across the exotic copper zone with current mapped exposures of approximately 700m x 300m has returned encouraging intervals of up 82m with very encouraging copper grades of up to 2% copper. These trench results coupled with an elongated magnetic high, proximal phyllic alteration, a well defined As–Sb–Bi–Ba geochemical anomaly over a moderate Mo enrichment, and structurally controlled anomalous Au and Ag defines a well-developed Cu–Mo–Au porphyry system with strong discovery potential through exploration targeting and drilling of these anomalies to depth, along structural flanks and areas of exotic copper showings. I would also like to welcome Joe Phillips to the DLP Board. Joe brings a wealth of experience to DLP as a senior mining executive and director in North and South America, and we look forward to Joe’s insights and guidance as we progress two important copper-molybdenum projects in Peru”.
