Executive Summary

Drilling Plan: GSP Resource Corp. announced Phase 1 drilling plans for Q2 2026 at Alwin and Mer properties within the Highland Valley Copper Camp, BC.
- Alwin Project: Targets follow-up of high-grade gold discovery (hole AM-24-06: 5.04 g/t Au & 1.01% Cu over 7.90m) and testing copper lodes. Inferred resource is 1.46 million tonnes at 1.08% Cu.
- Mer Property: Targets a new porphyry copper anomaly (175 x 120 metres) identified via soil/rock sampling, located 1.5 km NW of Alwin Mine and adjacent to Teck Resources' claims.
Financing Details: Company intends to raise up to $1 million CAD through two concurrent non-brokered private placements:
- Units: Up to 4,166,667 units at $0.12 per unit ($500k gross). Includes one share and half a warrant (warrants exercisable at $0.18 for three years).
- Flow-Through Shares: 3,333,333 shares at $0.15 per share ($500k gross).
Timeline: Financing expected to close on or before May 15, 2026. Proceeds designated for exploration work on Alwin and Mer properties.

Material Impact

Execution of Known Strategy: The drilling plan follows directly from the drill permit received on April 22, 2026. This was anticipated by the market given the previous announcement, making it an execution step rather than a surprise discovery.
Capital Raise Impact: The financing raises necessary capital ($1M) to fund operations but introduces dilution. The placement price ($0.12-$0.15) is slightly below or at recent trading levels (approx. $0.14), indicating a discount placement which can suppress short-term sentiment despite providing liquidity.
Project Progression: The news confirms the transition from exploration/permitting to active drilling, validating the company's roadmap. However, no new assay results are announced in this release; it is purely a plan and funding announcement.
Risk Profile: While positive for operational continuity, the lack of immediate drill results means valuation remains speculative based on historical data and geophysics rather than new resource definition.
