Organizational Profile
Name NorthWest Copper Corp.
Describe nature of activities, brands, products and services NorthWest Copper is a copper-gold explorer
with a group of prospective advanced and
earlier stage projects located in central British
Columbia. With a long history of exploration in
a tier one jurisdiction, NorthWest is well
positioned to participate in the global copper
market through thoughtful collaboration with
Indigenous leadership and communities and the
implementation of environmental management
practices. Our pipeline includes the advanced,
high-grade Kwanika-Stardust project, the
extensive Lorraine project with existing high-
grade resources, and our 2021 discovery - East
Niv, a brand new copper-gold porphyry system.

NorthWest Copper is continuing to build on
past relationships and partnerships with
Indigenous leaders and communities and
looking for opportunities to enhance
collaboration, support stewardship practices,
and contribute to building strong communities
and local economies.

With a focus on exploring for copper in an area
of British Columbia with existing
infrastructure, abundant hydroelectric power,
and a local workforce supporting our programs,
our ESG performance is core to NorthWest
Copper's longer term goal to contribute to
sustainable economies and encourage and
promote cultural and environmental
stewardship.

We seek to meet best practices in our current
exploration but also in advancing and designing
our future projects.

Biodiversity
Management Plan
Describe the environmental and biodiversity management plan(s) implemented at active sites NorthWest Copper uses industry best
practices to minimize the impact on water
quality, and biodiversity.

The Company utilizes programs such as pre-
and post-drilling water quality sampling for all
drainages potentially affected by exploration
activities. We apply best practices for drill site
preparation prior to drilling and rehabilitation
after drilling is completed to minimize
environmental impact and restore vegetation.

NorthWest Copper prepares Wildlife
Management and Mitigation Plans for each of
its operational projects. The Company also
prepares Emergency Management Plans that
describe the management of any emergency or
environmental incident associated with the
operation of our exploration projects.

In 2024, NorthWest Copper will be reviewing
and updating these plans based on the scope of
work.
1.1 Lifecycle stages to which the plan(s) apply Exploration and appraisal
1.2 The topics addressed by the plan(s)
   •  Ecological and biodiversity impacts
   •  Noise impacts
   •  Discharges to water
   •  Hazardous chemical usage
1.3 The underlying references for its plan(s), including whether they are codes, guidelines, standards, or regulations; whether they were developed by the entity, an industry organization, a third-party organization (e.g., a non-governmental organization, a governmental agency, or some combination of these groups) NorthWest Copper complies with all applicable
sections of the Mines Act and of the Health,
Safety, and Reclamation Code for Mines in
British Columbia (see links below). In addition,
the AME Handbook For Mineral and Coal
Exploration in British Columbia, a compilation
of currently known recommended management
practices, is also used (see the link to the
Biodiversity Impacts section of this report).

NorthWest Copper conducts water quality
analysis as well as collects surface water flow
data for its operational projects.  These water
management programs are prepared by
recognized industry professionals with review
and input from Indigenous communities.  

NorthWest Copper also prepares Wildlife
Management and Mitigation Plans for each of
its operational projects which reference and
follow provincial and federal laws and
guidelines. These plans are developed by
recognized industry professionals and with
review and input from Indigenous communities
as part of NorthWest Copper's commitments
under its Exploration Agreements.
 
In 2024, we plan to update and improve these
plans through collaboration with Indigenous
communities.

Impacts
Does access to the site involve traversing a protected area No
Do any of the entities concessions share a watershed with a protected area Yes
Provide context and description of site access involving traversing protected areas, and/or watersheds shared with a protected area. Include reference to measures in place to assure access, any proactive programs to support the biodiversity of the protected area, and any formal complaints or compliance issues and related steps to resolve NorthWest Copper projects are primarily

protected areas are traversed to access any of
the properties.
NorthWest Copper uses industry best
practices to ensure that irrespective of whether
a watershed is shared with a protected area or
not,  there is minimal impact on water quality or
biodiversity.  The Company utilizes programs
such as pre- and post-drilling water quality
sampling for all drainages affected along with
wildlife management plans, and best practices
for drill site rehabilitation post-drilling to
minimize environmental impact as much as
possible.

reporting out on field activities and engagement with government and

• Tsay Keh Dene Band
• Gitxsan Nation – House of Nii'Gyap Hereditary Chiefs
• Nak'azdli Whut'en Nation

This included implementation of existing exploration agreements, review of new agreements, in person and virtual
meetings, and regular communications.

At the beginning of 2023, we reached out to provide an overview of our proposed exploration activities planned at
our East Niv, Lorraine-Top Cat and Kwanika-Stardust projects. While there was community support to conduct
mineral exploration in 2023, no exploration drill
programs, or geological surveys were completed due to market conditions and corporate changes in governance.
The management team continued to have dialogue with the communities, keeping them apprised of corporate
developments and maintaining our exploration agreements.
