Vancouver, B.C., August 3, 2023 - Canada One Mining Corp. (“Canada One” or the “Company”) (TSXV: CONE) is pleased to provide the following update on certain ongoing corporate developments.
Copper Dome Project
The Company is focusing its 2023 exploration program on its wholly-owned Copper Dome Project (the “Project”) located south of Princeton, British Columbia and contiguous to the producing Copper Mountain Mine recently purchased for US$439 million and now operated by Hudbay Minerals Inc. A comprehensive drill permit for the Project has recently been submitted to the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation (the “Ministry”), which includes allowance for geochemical and geophysical surveys in addition to diamond drilling. The Company anticipates a first review of the drill permit application by the Ministry to be completed by September of this year with the potential of a granted permit in time for a fall drilling program.
As part of the permitting process, the Company has engaged consultation with numerous groups, including First Nations. The exploration team has completed a Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) soil geochemical survey over two previously identified zones of interest, the Friday Creek and Road Haul zones, and one new zone of interest, the Boundary Road zone. All samples have been submitted to SGS Labs. A detailed compilation of recent geophysical and past drilling programs into one cohesive data package is also ongoing, and which will allow for comprehensive geological review in three dimensions of all past work and surveys performed.
Completion of further exploration and development work on the Project remains subject to market conditions and additional financing being received by the Company.
Matabitchuan Cobalt Project / Franelle Copper Project
As previously announced on April 25, 2023, the Company confirms that it will not be proceeding with transactions involving the Matabitchuan Cobalt Project and the Franelle Copper Project, and that any such transactions and associated financing have been cancelled.

The Project lies within the lower portion of the Quesnel Trough porphyry belt, a well-established mining district. The belt extends north from the Copper Mountain Mine, through the Elk, Brenda, Craigmont, Highland Valley, and New Afton mines
Previous drilling has confirmed the presence of high-grade copper associated with northeast running geological structures similar to those seen at the Copper Mountain Mine, as well as palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt) and gold (Au) mineralization. Multiple zones of mineralization have been discovered on the Property to date. Excellent infrastructure provides year-round access with low-cost exploration and low jurisdictional risk
