Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 20, 2026) - CopAur Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CPAU) ("CopAur" or the "Company") is pleased to report that Global Resource Engineering ("GRE") has been awarded a contract to develop the Kinsley Mountain Preliminary Economic Analysis ("PEA").

GRE is a Denver-based engineering firm specializing in the mining industry and offering a full range of mining consulting services including mine design, plant design, capital and operating cost estimation, and metallurgical and environmental support services. GRE will prepare a NI 43-101 compliant PEA for the Kinsley Project. This will include a review and update of the NI 43-101 Technical Report completed by Mine Development Associates in 2021 and incorporate information from the updated Kinsley geological model that is currently being prepared by APEX Geoscience in Vancouver.

GRE were selected after a competitive bidding process involving three highly regarded engineering services firms with experience in developing gold heap leach projects in Nevada. All bids were subject to review by CopAur and their owner's team with GRE deemed to best meet the Company's needs in terms of completeness, cost and timing of delivery.

"GRE have previous experience working with the CopAur owner's team, and have worked with APEX Geoscience of similar projects, so it's a good fit all around. We expect the report to be completed in late March or early April which is consistent with the overall schedule for developing the Kinsley project," commented Andrew Neale.
