October 3, 2023 – Yerington, NV: Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX: NCU) (OTC: NEVDF) (FSE: ZYTA) (“Nevada Copper”
or the “Company”) is excited to announce that it has restarted processing operations at its Pumpkin Hollow
underground mine (the “Underground Mine”) with the first ore being fed to the mill.

Randy Buffington, President and CEO of Nevada Copper, stated, “It is with great pride that I announce that we
have achieved the critical milestone in restarting process operations. The restart of the mill has been
orchestrated through careful planning and establishing the infrastructure needed to ensure sustained process
plant operations, including the building of significant surface stockpiles and progression on critical capital
projects. We are now well positioned to move towards steady state operations of 5,000 tons per day. My
sincerest thanks to the entire Nevada Copper team and our business partners for their tireless efforts in
achieving this important milestone for the future of Pumpkin Hollow.”
Successful mill restart: Processing operations recommenced at an initial feed rate to the mills of 3,000 tons per
day (tpd) to allow for the process team to optimize reagent addition and establish and reinforce operating
procedures and ensure consistent operations. The mill is being recommissioned on lower grade ore stockpiles
and will transition to a combination of mined stope ore and stockpiled ore. By mid-October, throughput is
planned to be increased steadily towards a goal of achieving steady state operations of 4,500-5,000 tpd by the
end of 2023. Once steady-state operations are achieved, the Company may consider relatively simple
optimization opportunities in 2024 to increase mill throughput potential beyond 5,000 tpd. see & read more on
