American Marconi Wireless News - Algo Grande Finalizes Phase II Drill Targets Following Completion of High-Definition Surveys

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / Algo Grande Copper Corp. ("Algo Grande" or the "Company") (TSX-V:ALGR)(OTC:ALGRF)(FRA:KM00) announces the completion and interpretation of high-definition drone magnetic and Lidar surveys conducted along the Adelita Project's 6-kilometre-long granodiorite-limestone corridor in Sonora, Mexico. The newly acquired dataset has been used to finalize drill hole targeting for the Company's upcoming 8,000-metre Phase II diamond drill program scheduled to commence in June 2026.

The Phase II campaign will be executed by Major Drilling Group International Inc., with mobilization scheduled for June 5^th, 2026. This program represents the Company's largest drill initiative at Adelita to date, effectively doubling the historical drilling completed on the property.

The program is designed to expand the high-grade Cerro Grande skarn discovery while also testing multiple new targets across the broader district-scale mineral system.

Enrico Gay, CEO of Algo Grande Copper, commented: "I could not be prouder of our team - the Phase II drill program marks a major step as it will effectively double historical drilling completed on the Adelita project to date. The new drone magnetic survey has defined a 2.5-kilometre target corridor surrounding the Cerro Grande discovery, giving us a clear pathway to potentially grow the footprint significantly. At the same time, maiden drill programs at Las Trancas and Cerro Potrero provide exposure to entirely new discovery opportunities across the broader Adelita district."

The Company will also host a live webinar on May 29, 2026 at 8:00 AM PST / 12:00 PM EST to discuss the newly completed geophysical surveys, finalized drill targeting, and upcoming Phase II exploration program at Adelita.

Phase II Drilling Program Overview

The Phase II program will focus on three primary objectives:

The currently defined Cerro Grande skarn discovery (dark blue outline) is situated within a broader approximately 2.5-kilometre magnetic anomaly corridor that remains open along strike to the northwest and southeast.

The Company anticipates commencing the Phase II program with one drill rig before expanding to a two-rig operation as drilling progresses. The planned expansion is intended to accelerate the systematic advancement of the Cerro Grande skarn discovery while simultaneously completing maiden drill campaigns at both the Las Trancas epithermal target and the Cerro Potrero South skarn target, positioning Algo Grande for a catalyst-rich exploration program.

QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL

All drill core samples and rock samples were prepared and analysed at ALS Laboratories, an independent, internationally accredited laboratory, located in Hermosillo, Mexico and Vancouver, Canada. Sample preparation was completed using ALS preparation methods CRU-31 (crushing), SPL-31 (splitting), and PUL-31 (pulverizing), resulting in a nominal pulp with at least 85% passing a 75-micron sieve.

Multi-element analyses were completed using the ME-MS61L method, which involves a four-acid digestion (hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric, and hydrofluoric acids) followed by analysis using ICP-MS and ICP-AES techniques. The four-acid digestion is considered a near-total digest for most base metal sulfides and associated gangue minerals. Gold was analysed using the AU-AA24 method, consisting of a 30-gram fire assay fusion with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish. Samples returning results above the upper detection limits of the ME-MS61L method were re-assayed using appropriate over-limit procedures, including AG-OG62 for silver and ME-OG62, Cu-OG62, Pb-OG62, and Zn-OG62 for base metals, as applicable.

ALS Laboratories employ internal quality control procedures including the routine insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates at regular intervals. Additionally, the Company implemented an independent quality assurance and quality control program through the systematic insertion of blind certified reference materials and blank samples into the sample stream. Results from QA/QC samples were reviewed on receipt and found to be within acceptable limits.

About Algo Grande Copper Corp.

Algo Grande Copper Corp. is a growth-focused mineral exploration company advancing the Adelita Project, a district-scale, multi-system copper-silver-gold opportunity positioned in the prolific Arizona-Sonora copper belt.

Algo Grande is dedicated to unlocking the full mineral potential of this under-explored corridor through disciplined data-driven exploration, technical excellence, and a firm commitment to value creation for shareholders. The 5,895-hectare Adelita Project is anchored by the high-grade Cerro Grande Cu-Ag-Au skarn discovery, which exhibits strong continuity along a defined corridor extending over 6 kilometers. Reprocessing of legacy geophysical data and field mapping indicate the presence of a potential porphyry system at depth, suggesting a classic skarn-porphyry mineralization model similar to major deposits found throughout northwestern Mexico.
