Catalyst Copper is a Vancouver-based publicly traded mine development company (TSX-V: CCY). It holds an option to acquire an interest in the La Verde copper porphyry target Michoacan, Mexico (see press release dated December 8, 2009 for details). La Verde has an exposed porphyry system that should be amenable to open pit mining with potential Mo and Au credits, and comes with significant upside exploration potential. The project is located in an area with a preexisting infrastructure: 150 km to coast, water power and rail are nearby. The system is open in all directions. Management plans to explore this potential with the current 2010 exploration budget accounting for both drilling and geophysical programs consisting of 10,000 meters of core drilling and 50 km of IP survey. There exists an opportunity for significant additional discovery.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CATALYST COPPER CORP. "John W. Greenslade" JOHN W. GREENSLADE, PRESIDENT
