Coyote Copper Mines Secures Option to Acquire Historic Gibson Mine in Arizona, Adding 223.85 Acres of Patented Claims

Coyote Copper Mines Inc. (TSXV: CCMM) announced on November 3, 2026 that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire the historic Gibson Mine in Arizona, which includes 223.85 acres of patented mining claims. Patented mining claims convey full private land ownership, making them among the most valuable assets in U.S. mining, and the addition would expand the company's footprint in Arizona's copper-rich Copper Triangle region.

The Gibson Mine acquisition builds on Coyote Copper's existing Copper Springs Property in the Globe-Miami area of Arizona, where the company has been rapidly growing its land position. The company previously expanded from 444 Bureau of Land Management mining claims to 693 BLM claims and had scheduled drilling to begin around November 16, 2026 at its Copper Springs Project following surface copper sampling results reported in late October.
