Allied Copper Corp. (TSX-V: CPR, OTCQB: CPRRF) (the "Company" or "Allied Copper"), is pleased to announce that the Company has signed an option agreement for the sole and exclusive right to acquire a 100% undivided legal and beneficial interest for the Stateline Property, COUT USA from Cloudbreak Discovery Plc ("Cloudbreak") (LSE: CDL), Cloudbreak Discovery Canada and Alianza (TSX-V: ANZ) (the "Alliance").
Warner Uhl Executive Chairman of Allied Copper Corp. stated, "The acquisition of Stateline is a significant milestone in that it rounds out a well-planned acquisition schedule. Located 8km (5miles) south of the prolific producing Lisbon Valley Copper Mine, the team targeted the Stateline acquisition for it's [exploration upside in a well-established basin]. The Stateline, Silver King (SK) and Klondike Properties all have the potential to become strategically located producing copper mines in a tier one jurisdiction. Our focus now turns to an extensive exploration campaign across the portfolio of assets being conducted in Q2 and Q3 of 2022. Lisbon Valley Copper has the capacity to produce 54 million pounds of annual copper production."
The Company looks forward to embarking on our exploration programs for each property and is actively working on implementing our plans. With the projected copper production shortfalls and the electrification and EV revolution well upon us, copper demand will continue to rise. The shifts and catalysts that drive the demand for copper are significantly outstripping the current supplies. Copper supply needs to be replenished with new discoveries and ultimately new mines. Allied Copper Corp. will continue to be very active for the remainder of 2022.
About The Stateline Property
The Stateline Property consists of 22 unpatented mining claims totaling 148 hectares (365.7 acres) in San Miguel County, CO and San Juan County, UT. The project is accessible all year round by local paved and dirt roads. The project lies 8km (5miles) south of the Lisbon Valley Copper Mine (LVMC).
Lower Lisbon Valley is the collapsed crest of a salt-cored anticline, bounded on the SW and NE margins by normal faults with about 600 to 800 feet of down-to-the-valley offset. Stateline prospect is located adjacent to the NE marginal fault of the collapsed structure. The outcropping formations on the prospect are Dakota and Burro Canyon Formations ., the currently productive mining horizons in the South Lisbon District. At the time when Stateline was mapped, it was not possible to map individual numbered beds within these formations, standard practice in the Sentinel-Centennial-GTO reserve areas, but the Dakota and Burro Canyon were mapped as upper and lower members. The copper outcrops at Stateline have been determined to occur in the upper Burro Canyon and lower Dakota. Structural dips of the Dakota and Burro Canyon units are low (3 to 20 degrees) over the prospect with the steeper dips near the NE marginal fault. In the area of the Discovery copper outcrop, two small splay faults have offsets down-to-the-SE, dropping Dakota beds down against Burro Canyon. The copper occurrence at the Discovery outcrop occurs in a fluvial pebble conglomerate bed partially cemented with malachite in the upper Burro Canyon. At the road cut copper occurrence, disseminated and fracture-controlled malachite and azurite occurs with bitumen in a lower Dakota sandstone bed.

Historical surface sampling of mineralized outcrops has yielded assay results up to 1.6% copper and 1.7 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver and 0.45% copper and 2.1 g/t silver. Disseminated copper-silver mineralization has also been identified in several outcropping sandstones in other stratigraphic positions. Both styles of mineralization will be investigated in upcoming work programs with the goal of refining drill targets in these units. Initial work will include detailed geological mapping, soil and rock sampling, and geophysics.
The project is road accessible year-round including those supporting access to the Lisbon Valley Mine Complex (LVMC). The project is comprised of 22 mining claims on Federal mineral rights managed by the Bureau for Land Management. Ground covered by the current claims was at one time part of the LVMC claim package.

- Issue an aggregate 4,250,000 common shares over a three-year period of which 500,000 shares are due on closing; and
