Copper Quest Expands its Kitimat Copper Gold Project on the Strength of the AI Generated Porphyry Target

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Copper Quest Exploration Inc. (CSE: CQX; OTCQB: IMIMF; FRA: 3MX) (“Copper Quest” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has made application with the Province of British Columbia to acquire an additional 3,847.41 hectares of claims contiguous to its Kitimat Project increasing the Project size by 130%. The new land package now consists of 6,801.41 hectares encompassing the newly staked historic Bowbyes target area, as well as providing a generous land position surrounding the large AI generated buried conductive body measuring approximately 1.5 km by 1.5 km in lateral extent (see press release dated March 5, 2026). The anomaly demonstrates strong vertical continuity to at least 1 km depth (the maximum limit of the analysis) and begins at just 50 meters below surface, concealed beneath sedimentary cover. The conductor is situated within a pronounced magnetic gradient/dipole corridor, with a spatial relationship suggestive of an intrusive contact or alteration boundary and lies in proximity to documented volcanic-hosted sulphide mineralization.
