Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 22, 2022) - Chakana Copper Corp. (TSXV: PERU) (OTCQB: CHKKF) (FSE: 1ZX) (the "Company" or "Chakana") is pleased to announce that it has completed a second and final tranche of its previously announced private placement (the "Private Placement") for 10,470,451 units of the Company ("Units") at a price of C$0.11 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$1,151,749. Combined with the first tranche that closed in May (see news release dated May 24, 2022), the financing resulted in total gross proceeds of $6,241,353.

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of $0.20 per Share for a period of two years from closing of the Private Placement. The Company may accelerate the expiry of the Warrants in the event that for any ten consecutive trading days the closing price of the Shares is greater than $0.30.

David Kelley, President and CEO, commented, "We are excited to be fully financed as we execute an aggressive exploration drilling campaign that began June 15, 2022. This is a bold step-out exploration program applying what we have learned in the last 4 years and utilizing the expertise and support from the Gold Fields exploration team. We have updated our target ranking criteria to include the potential to discover larger tonnage deposits. In addition to high-grade mineralization hosted in tourmaline breccia pipes, we will also be testing targets related to the potential coalescence of breccia pipes (mega-breccias), epithermal mineralization in zones of pervasive argillic alteration, and mineralization related to a rhyodacite dome. We believe these mineralization styles are all part of the same Soledad mineral system that occupies a 12 km2 footprint."

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for exploration and development of the Company's high-grade copper-gold-silver discovery at the Soledad Project, located in the Ancash region of Peru, and for ESG programs, general working capital and administrative purposes. On January 11, 2022, the Company announced an initial inferred resource hosting 191,000 ounces of gold, 11.7 million ounces of silver, and 130 million pounds of copper in seven tourmaline breccia pipes.

Chakana paid aggregate finder's fees of C$56,511 and issued 513,736 finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants") in connection with the second tranche of the Private Placement. Each Finder's Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Share at a price of $0.20 per Share for a period of two years from closing of the Private Placement.

All securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on October 22, 2022 in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws in jurisdictions outside of Canada. Final closing of the Private Placement is subject to all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The common shares have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy such securities in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or sale would be unlawful.

Corporate Update Pursuant to the extension agreement and revised payment terms for the Company's purchase option agreement with Condor Resources, the Company has elected to proceed with the second option which requires cash and share payments to be made over a three-year period, as described in more detail in the Company's news release dated April 18, 2022. Accordingly, the Company will pay Condor US$800,000 and issue 1,379,310 shares prior to June 23, 2022.

Exploration Update The company initiated a step-out exploration drilling campaign on June 15, 2022 to test thirteen new targets not previously drilled on the north side of the project. The campaign is initially planned with one drill rig for approximately 3,000m of core drilling with one or two holes in each target. Once these targets have been drilled, a decision will be made regarding both additional target testing and follow-up drilling. These thirteen targets were selected from a total of 154 targets identified on the project that were prioritized during an in-house technical workshop incorporating recently acquired Offset IP survey results. The principal target areas for this round of drilling on the north side of the project are 1) Cima Blanca (in-progress), 2) Bx 4 cluster, 3) Faro, 4) Western Breccias, 5) Paloma Trend, and 6) Paloma-Huancarama megabreccia target (Figure 1). Numerous additional high priority targets exist on the south side of the project that will be drill tested once a drill permit is awarded for this area.

As we move toward the end of Q2, it’s time to start thinking about earnings. Looking back at the quarter, analysts are predicting earnings growth of 8%, which may rise to 11% heading into next year. It’s a rosy picture, but it’s also not a sure thing. GDP contracted in Q1, by nearly 1.5%, and some estimates are showing 0% growth in Q2. Such results would meet the technical definition of a recession – and recession is hardly the usual environment to find robust earnings growth. Looking at current
