Kingfisher Announces Commencement of 2026 Exploration Program at HWY 37 and Forrest Kerr Projects, Golden TriangleJune 17, 2026 5:00 AM
Newsfile15,000 m Drill Program at HWY 37 Project Commencing; Geophysics and Surface Programs Across Both ProjectsVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 17, 2026) - Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) ("Kingfisher" or the "Company") announces the commencement of its fully funded 2026 exploration program at the HWY 37 and Forrest Kerr projects, located within the Golden Triangle of British Columbia.1 The 2026 program is anchored by a 15,000 m, three-rig diamond drill campaign designed to test priority porphyry Cu-Au and epithermal Au-Ag targets, as previously disclosed in the Company's news releases2,3,4. The first drill is now on site at the HWY 37 Project, with the first hole of the 2026 program expected to be collared within the next one to two days at the Hank porphyry Cu-Au target area, which hosts discovery hole HW-25-011 that returned 425 m of 0.15% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au, and 2.2 g/t Ag (0.40% CuEq)2,5.The 2026 program will also include ground-based induced polarization (IP) geophysics in the Hank-Mary District as well as regional target areas, airborne mobile magnetotelluric (MMT) and magnetic surveys covering the entire Forrest Kerr Project, expanded LiDAR coverage, and a targeted surface mapping and geochemistry campaign across the Company's 1,135 km² Golden Triangle land package.Dustin Perry, CEO and President, states: "This 15,000 m drill program is the most significant exploration program in Kingfisher's as well as the HWY 37 project areas' history. The 2025 discovery at Hank2 confirmed HWY 37 Project's porphyry copper-gold potential. The 2026 program will focus on step-outs from HW-25-011, extensive drill tests of disseminated and structurally hosted epithermal Au-Ag above the porphyry environment, and additional drilling at untested porphyry Cu-Au targets within the Hank-Mary District. This program has the potential to deliver multiple discoveries across this highly prospective but relatively underexplored district. Additionally, and in keeping with our systematic exploration ethos, we will continue large-scale regional exploration programs across both HWY 37 and Forrest Kerr."2026 Field Program UnderwayField crews have mobilized to the HWY 37 Project site, and camp construction is complete. Site preparation, drill pad construction, and pre-drill wildlife and archaeological surveys are underway.The first of three diamond drills is on site and is scheduled to commence drilling within the next couple of days at the Hank porphyry Cu-Au target. The second drill is scheduled to arrive on June 25, and the third drill on July 1.Reconnaissance prospecting and regional stream sediment sampling are scheduled to commence in the latter part of June. Geological mapping is scheduled to begin during the second week of July, with soil sampling starting around the same time. Ground IP geophysics and the airborne MMT and magnetic surveys are scheduled to commence around mid-July.Drill core will be logged, sampled, and submitted for assay on an ongoing basis throughout the program. The Company anticipates assay turnaround times of approximately six to eight weeks from sample submission, reflecting seasonal lab demand, with potential for further delays. Assay results will be released as soon as they are verified and approved by the Company's qualified person.Qualified PersonTechnical aspects of this news release have been reviewed, verified, and approved by Tyler Caswell, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration, of Kingfisher, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Kingfisher Metals Announces Fully Funded 2026 Exploration ProgramMay 7, 2026 5:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireHWY 37 & Forrest Kerr Projects | Golden Triangle, British ColumbiaIncluding 15,000 m Diamond Drilling Program in the Hank-Mary DistrictVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR)(FSE:970)(OTCQB:KGFMF) ("Kingfisher" or the "Company") is pleased to outline the scope of its fully funded 2026 exploration program at the HWY-37 and Forrest Kerr projects, located in the highly prospective Golden Triangle of British Columbia.This exploration program is designed to advance the newly discovered Hank porphyry Cu-Au system while systematically expanding and de-risking the Company's broader regional target pipeline.The HWY-37 and Forrest Kerr projects comprise approximately 933 km² and 202 km², respectively. Field crews are expected to mobilize in late May, with field activities commencing in mid-June and continuing through the fall season.2026 Exploration Program HighlightsThe 2026 program is structured around four exploration strategies to maximize exposure to discovery and early resource definition:Diamond Drilling - 15,000 Metres (Three-Pronged Approach)The 2026 drilling program will be supported by three diamond drills, targeting three spatially distinct regions at the Hank-Mary District:Hank Porphyry Cu-Au Discovery - Expansion and DelineationThe Hank porphyry Cu-Au discovery represents a well-defined, large-scale copper-gold target supported by multiple converging lines of geological and geophysical evidence:Discovery hole HW-25-011: 425 m at 0.15% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au and 2.2 g/t Ag (0.40% CuEq)¹,² is a broad and high-quality intercept affirming system scale despite intersecting flanking alteration.Kilometre-scale geophysical anomalies: IP geophysics, magnetics, and magnetotellurics (MMT) anomalies all converging on the same broad target³.Compelling emplacement timing: Porphyry mineralization at Hank, Williams & Mary (~190-186 Ma) overlaps in time with the nearby Mitchell deposit (~196-189 Ma)4 the largest undeveloped Cu-Au deposit in Canada.Hank Au Targets - Bulk Tonnage & Structural High-GradeBulk Tonnage Au TargetsAt-surface bulk-tonnage gold targets proximal to the Hank Porphyry Target offer significant opportunities for expansion with untested wide-spaced gaps (up to 500 m) between historical drill holes despite evidence of strong gold endowment in historical drilling.Historical results include:55.8 m of 1.38 g/t Au (DDH84-4)5,642.0 m of 2.52 g/t Au (DDH85-32) 5,663.0 m of 1.86 g/t Au (DDH85-45) 5,6Several historical holes terminate in mineralization including DDH88-16 with 74 m of 0.43 g/t Au including 0.92 g/t in the last assay. 5,6Structural High-Grade Au TargetsUpdated LiDAR, geological interpretation, and 3D modelling are being used to identify higher-grade structural gold zones. Previous workers explored with a single NW-SE azimuth to drill holes, this created a strong bias on ore geometry. New interpretations indicate multiple and complex structural patterns would have been poorly tested by previous holes. Revised interpretations will test projections of identified structures and ore shoot concepts as well. Historical intercepts demonstrate the high-grade and structural-hosted potential of the system:0.8 m of 133.3 g/t Au and 263.0 g/t Ag (HNK-17-008)624.8 m of 5.6 g/t Au and 45.9 g/t Ag (HNK-17-009)620.0 m of 11.63 g/t Au and 13.8 g/t Ag (HNK-18-010) 6New Discovery Drilling - Turquoise, Rainbow, & Regional Porphyry TargetsBeyond the Hank Porphyry Target, the Company will conduct first-pass discovery drilling at the Turquoise and Rainbow targets, along with additional regional prospects. This initiative is focused on identifying large-tonnage porphyry systems across the full breadth of the Company's multi-district-scale land package - providing multiple opportunities for new discovery. Turquoise and Rainbow target areas are both characterized by extensive cover, landslide and glacial till respectively. These surface conditions provide large, underexplored regions unlocked by modern geophysical surveys.Historical intercepts from Rainbow demonstrate the high-grade potential of the system:91.4m of 0.76g/t Au and 1.99g/t Ag (RN11-01)6 with limited follow-up.New geological surface mapping at Rainbow delineates an elongate porphyry-type quartz-sericite-carbonate-pyrite alteration body 3.5 km long by 400-600 m wide to the east of historical drilling.The Turquoise Porphyry Target is a newly identified potential system ~3.4 km from the Hank porphyry discovery.7 Multiple geophysical layers point to a porphyry signature situated below a large landslide at low elevationsGround Geophysics - Induced Polarization (IP)Infill and expansion of IP coverage across the Hank-Mary District using distributed array and conventional pole-dipole surveys to maximise coverageNew geophysical surveys planned at Mess Creek (HWY 37 Project) and the RDN Target (Forrest Kerr Project) to delineate additional drill-ready targetsAirborne SurveysMagnetotelluric (MMT) & magnetic surveys over the Forrest Kerr Project (~1,350 line-km) with integrated 3D inversion to support drill targetingLiDAR acquisition (~550 km²): expansion at HWY-37 and completion of project-wide coverage at Forrest Kerr ProjectSurface & Regional ExplorationGeological mapping across HWY-37 Project prospects and Forrest Kerr ProjectSoil sampling to expand geochemical coverage across the Hank-Mary District and Mess Creek areaStream sediment sampling to follow up on anomalous results and complete regional coverageOngoing prospecting to support target generation and refinement across both projectsFigure 1: Plan view of HWY 37 and Forrest Kerr Project Areas.

A Supply Crisis Is Brewing in the Metals That Power EverythingApril 29, 2026 10:15 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Issued on behalf of GoldHaven Resources Corp.USANewsGroup.com News Commentary VANCOUVER, BC, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Washington just confirmed what the market already suspected. A formal national security investigation found that America's dependence on imported critical minerals has become a direct threat to its defense and industrial base, and that no single Western country can fix the problem alone[1]. That finding landed while tungsten, one of the most strategically sensitive metals on Earth, was already in freefall on the supply side. Chinese export controls have drained Western inventories to critically low levels and sent processing prices from around $300 to over $1,775 per metric tonne unit in barely a year[2]. Five companies are now positioned across the metals at the center of this structural realignment: GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF), Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII), Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE-A: IDR), Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF), and Kingfisher Metals (TSXV: KFR) (OTCQB: KGFMF).
The silver market tells the same story from a different angle. The Silver Institute's 2026 World Silver Survey confirms a sixth consecutive annual supply deficit, with cumulative shortfalls since 2021 now exceeding 800 million ounces as demand from electrification, AI infrastructure, and defense keeps pulling ahead of production[3]. Building a new mine takes an average of 17 years from discovery to first output, which means the only projects capable of delivering supply within the current deficit window are advanced explorers with near-term drill catalysts already in the pipeline[4].GoldHaven Resources (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) has hired Dias Airborne Limited to fly a 1,741 line-kilometre high-resolution magnetic survey over its flagship Magno Project in northern British Columbia, with the program expected to launch in June 2026. The company also recently closed an oversubscribed flow-through financing totaling approximately $2.04 million to fully fund the upcoming drill campaign.It will be the first modern property-wide geophysical survey across the full Magno land package, which now spans more than 37,200 hectares after GoldHaven recently filed a technical report on three newly acquired mineral claims added to the Magno Project. The airborne program will scan the Magno Zone, Kuhn Zone, and D Zone at tight 100-metre line spacing, targeting corridors where surface sampling has returned silver grades up to 2,370 grams per tonne, tungsten up to 6,550 parts per million, and indium concentrations as high as 334 parts per million.GoldHaven selected Dias based on geological similarities between Magno and Hercules Metals' Leviathan discovery in Idaho, where the same QMAGT sensor platform helped identify concealed drill targets that led to discovery. The technology uses superconducting quantum interference device sensors to capture the full tensor of the Earth's magnetic field, delivering sharper resolution than conventional surveys. GoldHaven is also evaluating a follow-on ground-based 3D IP survey to refine subsurface targeting ahead of drill mobilization."This survey represents a major step forward in systematically unlocking the district-scale potential of Magno," said Rob Birmingham, CEO of GoldHaven. "By integrating modern high-resolution geophysics with our growing geological database and 2025 surface discoveries, we believe we are significantly improving our ability to define high-confidence drill targets across multiple mineralized systems at Magno."GoldHaven has already submitted its drill permit application for a 2026 program targeting three high-grade zones carrying silver, tungsten, lead, zinc, and indium mineralization. Tungsten is classified as a critical mineral by both the Canadian and U.S. governments, and Canada currently has no primary domestic tungsten production.Beyond British Columbia, GoldHaven is advancing its Copeçal Gold Project in Mato Grosso, Brazil, where the company recently completed its first diamond drilling program confirming gold and copper anomalism. Phase 2 drilling is planned for mid-Q2 2026. Between Magno and a 123,900-hectare Brazilian portfolio spanning three projects, GoldHaven offers diversified discovery exposure at a stage where most juniors remain locked into a single asset.CONTINUED… Read this and more news for GoldHaven Resources at:https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/23/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-exploration-in-historically-productive-districts/In other industry developments:Almonty Industries (NASDAQ: ALM) (TSX: AII) announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters from Toronto, Ontario to Dillon, Montana, positioning the company closer to U.S. government agencies, defense contractors, and industrial partners following its Nasdaq listing and US$90 million IPO in July 2025 and a US$129 million follow-on financing in December 2025. The move accompanies the acquisition of Montana's Gentung Tungsten Project, expected to restart production in 2026, and deepens Almonty Industries' strategic alignment with U.S. critical mineral supply chain security."Relocating our headquarters to the United States is not merely symbolic," said Lewis Black, Chairman, President and CEO of Almonty Industries. "It reflects who we are – as Montana is the location of our recently acquired Gentung Tungsten Project – and where our future lies. Our investors, customers, and strategic partners are here because they recognize the urgency of building a Western tungsten supply chain free from Chinese dependence."Almonty Industries operates the Sangdong Mine in South Korea, historically one of the world's largest and highest-grade tungsten deposits, as well as projects in Portugal and Spain. With Sangdong Phase 1 complete and Gentung on track for restart, the company is targeting a dominant position in the global non-Chinese tungsten supply chain.Idaho Strategic Resources (NYSE-A: IDR) has secured a long-term lease for the Niagara copper-silver project in Shoshone County, Idaho, adding a historic resource estimate of approximately 150 million pounds of copper and 8 million ounces of silver to its district-scale Murray Gold Belt landholdings. The Niagara deposit is a Revett-type sediment-hosted deposit located approximately 7 kilometers from Idaho Strategic Resources' producing Golden Chest Mine, with the company holding all adjacent unpatented mineral claims."The Niagara deposit is a natural fit for our Company in many ways," said John Swallow, President and CEO of Idaho Strategic Resources. "In addition to broadening IDR's commodity asset base as our country enters a strong secular commodity market, it also serves as a prime example of the potential of the overall MGB District."The lease begins at $18,000 annually, escalating at 3% per year over an initial 10-year term with extension options, and includes a 2% net smelter royalty with a $1,000,000 buyback option on 1%. Idaho Strategic Resources has planned a 2026 drill campaign to upgrade historic resource confidence and test mineral continuity along strike, down dip, and within the untested lower-middle Revett Formation.Brixton Metals (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQX: BBBXF) reported the third batch of drill results from its Langis 2026 drill program at the Langis silver project in Ontario, Canada, including hole LM-26-290 with a 0.50-metre sample grading 82,334 g/t silver containing abundant native silver, representing the highest-grade single sample ever reported by the company and among the highest silver grades ever reported globally. The hole returned 11.35 metres averaging 4,560 g/t silver, with multiple additional bonanza-grade intercepts reported across the program."We are excited to report the third batch of drill results from the Langis 2026 drill program," said Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO of Brixton Metals. "These results are extraordinary and are among the most significant silver drilled intercepts known to the company globally. Hole LM-26-290 has delivered an exceptional result, highlighted by 82,334 g/t silver from a 0.50m core length sample containing abundant native silver."Brixton Metals is advancing the Langis silver project in Ontario alongside its Thorn copper-gold-silver project in British Columbia, with ongoing drilling at Langis aimed at delineating the extent of bonanza-grade mineralization and establishing a mineral resource estimate.Kingfisher Metals (TSXV: KFR) (OTCQB: KGFMF) outlined a new porphyry drill target at the Turquoise area of its 933 km² HWY 37 Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle, characterized by a 0.5 by 2.0 km chargeability anomaly supported by magnetic vector amplitude, DC resistivity, and Mobile MagnetoTellurics inversion datasets. The near-surface target is drill-ready and located approximately 6 km from existing highway infrastructure, with porphyry-proximal indications including advanced argillic mineralogy and elevated pyrite abundance at the geophysical core domain."The Turquoise target is a direct result of our systematic exploration approach, which continues to unlock new opportunities across this underexplored yet highly prospective region of the Golden Triangle," said Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher Metals. "The target is located within the emerging Hank–Mary district and only ~6 km from existing infrastructure."The Turquoise target sits approximately 3.4 km east of the Hank porphyry discovery hole drilled in 2025 and expands the prospective footprint across the HWY 37 Project. Kingfisher Metals plans to drill the Turquoise target in summer 2026 as part of a disciplined program building a pipeline of high-quality targets across its large land package in the Golden Triangle.FURTHER READING: https://usanewsgroup.com/2025/09/23/the-goldhaven-story-two-continents-one-strategy-systematic-exploration-in-historically-productive-districts/CONTACT:

Kingfisher Metals Confirms Early Jurassic Porphyry Mineralization Across Hank-Mary District, a Fertile Window Between Mitchell Cu-Au and Brucejack Au-Ag DepositsApril 28, 2026 5:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireMultiple U-Pb and Re-Os dates between 190-186 Ma establish that the Hank-Mary district formed within a minimum 4-million-year period during a key regional gold-rich mineralization window. The closest age porphyry deposit is Mitchell (KSM), the largest Cu-Au porphyry deposit in Canada and the closest age epithermal deposit is Brucejack Au-Ag.VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2026 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR)(FSE:970)(OTCQB:KGFMF) ("Kingfisher" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new U-Pb zircon and Re-Os molybdenum geochronology results from the Hank-Mary district on its 933 km² HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The initial results demonstrate that magmatic-hydrothermal activity across the Hank-Mary district is part of highly fertile and gold-rich mineralizing time in the region. These dates overlap with established ages for the Mitchell porphyry deposit at the nearby KSM project, the largest undeveloped Cu-Au porphyry deposit in Canada and is close to the age of the Brucejack epithermal Au-Ag deposit (Table 1 & Figure 1 - 3).Key Highlights:Similar age as Mitchell Cu-Au porphyry deposit: Porphyry mineralization at Hank, Williams & Mary (~190-186 Ma) overlaps with the Mitchell deposit (~196-189 Ma).Similar timing to Brucejack Au-Ag epithermal deposit: Epithermal gold mineralization at Hank (~188-184 Ma) ties closely with the Brucejack deposit (~184-183 Ma).One large system: Ages from Hank, Mary, and Williams all fall within the same range, suggesting a single, large mineralizing system that defines the district.Geological age as a fertility indicator: These ages match the Early Jurassic Texas Creek intrusive suite of rocks, known for hosting major porphyry deposits in the Golden Triangle.Dustin Perry, CEO and President of Kingfisher, states, "These initial geochronology results validate our exploration model and confirm our belief that the Hank-Mary district represents a large, fertile porphyry system. The confirmation that mineralization across Hank, Mary, and Williams falls within the same Early Jurassic window as the Mitchell and Brucejack deposits highlights strong parallels to two of the most significant gold-rich systems in Canada." Figure 1: Regional map of the Golden Triangle showing the location of Kingfisher's HWY 37 Project (Hank district) relative to Seabridge Gold's KSM Project (Mitchell deposit) within the Sulphurets District.1Geochronology ResultsTwo complementary dating methods applied across the Hank district from three studies:U-Pb zircon geochronology constrains the crystallization age of host intrusions, the timing of magma emplacement, and is performed on zircon mineral separates from intrusive rock samples.Re-Os molybdenite geochronology directly dates ore-forming hydrothermal events by measuring the radioactive decay of rhenium to osmium in molybdenite (MoS2), a common porphyry mineral. Molybdenite often precipitates from later-stage hydrothermal fluids during mineralization, Re-Os ages are interpreted to reflect the youngest ages of porphyry mineralization. The results in Table 1 present new data from the British Columbia Geological Survey research by Roddy Campbell presented at Rock Talk 20262, new data from Kingfisher Metals and includes one previous result from the Williams deposit.Table 1: Geochronology results from the Hank porphyry district, HWY 37 Project.

Figure 3: Major magmatic and mineralization age groups in the Golden Triangle region (after Campbell, 2026, British Columbia Geological Survey). Hank-Mary and KSM data shown for comparison.MitchellThe Mitchell deposit (KSM project) has an interpreted span of mineralization ~192 to 190 Ma with youngest magmatism ending around 189 Ma4. Early results from the Hank district indicate porphyry mineralization is between 190 and 186 Ma, with overlap in age with the Mitchell porphyry. Mitchell is the closest in age porphyry system in the region, located approximately 75 km from Hank, and is Canada's largest undeveloped Cu-Au deposit. This time window is considered highly prospective.BrucejackEpithermal gold at Hank emplaced after ~188 and before 184 Ma5. This timing ties closely with the nearby Brucejack deposit, where epithermal Au - veins are formed between 184-183 Ma6. Brucejack is the only known system in the region with this timing, making it a strong analogue for Hank. However, more work is needed to better define the exact age of gold mineralization at Hank.Background: Geological Age and Porphyry FertilityNew and recently published geochronology places the Hank district in one of the most fertile periods in BC, between Mitchell porphyry (KSM) and Brucejack epithermal Au-Ag deposits. Within these prospective time windows in the region, multiple deposits can be mineralized simultaneously across a large district that is fed by a common district-scale magmatic hydrothermal system.Geological age is a powerful predictor of porphyry copper-gold and epithermal Au-Ag fertility. In the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia, some of the most significant Cu-Au porphyry deposits and epithermal Au-Ag deposits which include the world-class KSM system and nearby Brucejack deposit are genetically linked to Early Jurassic (~196-185 Ma) Texas Creek magmatism (Figure 3).Qualified PersonTechnical aspects of this news release have been reviewed, verified, and approved by Tyler Caswell, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration of Kingfisher, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Minerals Projects.About Kingfisher Metals Corp.Kingfisher Metals Corp.

Kingfisher Outlines New Porphyry Target 6 km from Highway and Power, HWY 37 Project, Golden TriangleApril 16, 2026 5:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 16, 2026 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR)(FSE:970)(OTCQB:KGFMF) ("Kingfisher" or the "Company") is pleased to report the delineation of a new porphyry drill target at the Turquoise target area (Figures 1-3). Interpretation of recently updated geophysical inversion datasets1 highlight a compelling subsurface target within the Company's 933 km² HWY 37 Project, located in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.Key Highlights:New near-surface porphyry copper - gold target identified at the Turquoise target area characterized by a 0.5 by 2.0 km chargeability anomaly. The magnetic vector amplitude inversion (MVI), direct current (DC) resistivity and the Mobile MagnetoTellurics (MMT) resistivity datasets all support the core target domain (Figure 2).Majority of target area is covered by a landslide and glacial till, interpreted to cover the core porphyry alteration target with only discrete lateral alteration expressions at surface (Figure 1).Porphyry proximal indications include advanced argillic mineralogy (dickite and vuggy silica) on surface and high pyrite abundance near geophysical core target domain (Figure 1).Target is near-surface and drill ready.Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher, states, "The Turquoise target is a direct result of our systematic exploration approach, which continues to unlock new opportunities across this underexplored yet highly prospective region of the Golden Triangle. The target is located within the emerging Hank-Mary district and only ~6 km from existing infrastructure. Turquoise represents a compelling new drill target that we're excited to test this summer as we continue to build a strong pipeline of high-quality targets across the HWY 37 Project. "Figure 1: Plan overview of the Turquoise Porphyry Target and Section A-A' Location Figure 2: Cross-section Turquoise Porphyry Target IP-chargeability, MVI amplitude, MMT resistivity, DC-resistivity results, and a compilation summary interpretation. Turquoise Porphyry TargetA new porphyry target has been identified ~3.4 km east of the Hank Porphyry discovery hole (HW-25-011). The target is centered on a 0.5 by 2.0 km chargeability anomaly (> 12.0 mV/V) and is supported by the recent MMT inversion, and magnetic inversion products1. Geophysical patterns define a possible fluid upwelling or structural root to the anomaly, supported by coincident geophysical signatures and surface geology mapping. The scale of the target area is approximately 1 by 3.4 km, elongated to the northeast.Geophysical Highlights:IP Chargeability: A large, coherent chargeability anomaly extends to surface and is spatially coincident with mapped pyrite alteration. The anomaly forms a volume approximately 0.5 km wide, 0.5 km deep and 2.0 km long and could define a broad sulphide-rich system. The peak chargeability values are 25 mV/V.MVI Amplitude: A steep, low- to moderate-amplitude magnetic feature is interpreted to reflect a structural focus or a fluid flow pathway. This feature appears to focus on the core of the chargeability anomaly, refining the primary drill target.Resistivity (MMT and DC): Integrated resistivity datasets define classic porphyry-style architecture:A mushroom-shaped, low-resistivity (conductive) cap with values ranging between 25-100 ohm * m and dimensions of approximately 1.0 km deep, 4.0 km wide and 6.0 km long, coincident with mapped clay-rich alteration.Underlying low- to moderate-resistivity domains are interpreted as potential porphyry stockwork zones, with the central "stem" representing a central fluid upwelling within a broad alteration system.Moderate resistivity at surface correlates with mapped siliceous advanced argillic alteration.Surface Geology Highlights:Mapping indicates a vector toward higher temperature alteration toward the core target. Advanced argillic mineralogy, including dickite and vuggy silica, has been identified above the chargeability anomaly and may indicate a porphyry-top position.Sericite-chlorite-pyrite-quartz alteration observed at surface within the core target area is consistent with porphyry-style alteration observed at the Hank porphyry.The projected surface expression of the core target is largely obscured by landslide and moraine cover. However, proximal outcrops report elevated pyrite contents (>5%), supporting the geophysical interpretation.Representative prospecting and rock sampling in the valley remain limited due to extensive till and landslide cover.Figure 3: Photograph of Turquoise Porphyry Target Area.

Multiple Geophysical Datasets Support Increased Target Dimensions at Hank Copper-Gold Discovery, HWY 37 Project, Golden TriangleApril 2, 2026 5:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 2, 2026 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR)(FSE:970)(OTCQB:KGFMF) ("Kingfisher" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that new and updated geophysical inversion datasets support a robust porphyry copper-gold target within the Hank Cu-Au discovery area. Results include a new Mobile MagnetoTellurics (MMT) and magnetic survey with inversions, newly compiled, leveled and merged airborne magnetic data, updated IP chargeability and direct current (DC) resistivity 3D inversions, along with new petrographic data from geological thin sections. These new and improved datasets provide Kingfisher with five additional data-layers integrated into a 3-dimensional targeting framework. Analysis of these datasets supports the scale and prospectivity of the porphyry Cu-Au discovery at Hank. The Hank discovery is within the 933 km2 HWY 37 Project located within the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.Key Highlights:The magnetic vector inversion (MVI) model outlines a large alteration footprint, interpreted as magnetite destruction and remanent magnetization, consistent with surface and drill core observations.Expanded IP-resistivity surveys reveal a >2 km wide anomaly coinciding with the interpreted potassic altered core.MMT and DC-resistivity results highlight a significant low resistivity anomaly (below 50 ohm?m) over an area of approximately 3.5 by 4.4 km, interpreted as hydrothermal clay alteration related to the Hank system.Petrographic analysis of thin sections from hole HW-25-011 show that hydrothermal alteration has destroyed magnetite and reveals high fertility indicators, including bornite and tennantite.Dustin Perry, CEO and President of Kingfisher, states, "Over the past three years we have systematically explored the Hank area with multiple geophysical, geological, geochemical, and spectral surveys. These updated datasets provide even more confidence going into the 2026 field program where we seek to aggressively expand upon the newest Cu-Au porphyry discovery in BC's Golden Triangle."Figure 1: Plan view of the Hank-Williams area with reduced to pole magnetics (RTP) in the background. Grey lines show IP-resistivity lines. Inset map on the right presents the HWY 37 tenure outline with compiled, leveled and merged RTP data in the background.

Summary & DiscussionIn 2025, Expert Geophysics Ltd. conducted an 1825.0 line-km MMT survey, with data provided to Moombarriga Geoscience for 3D inversion. Peter E. Walcott & Associates Ltd. completed 22.3 line-km of IP-resistivity surveying. The resulting IP-resistivity data, combined with historical and 2024 data, produced a unified 3D inversion model of resistivity and chargeability for much of the Hank-Williams target area. Hardrock Geophysics Inc. compiled, leveled, and merged all historical airborne magnetic datasets within the HWY 37 tenure, which were then used for 3D magnetic susceptibility and magnetic vector (MVI) inversions.Integrating geophysical products with diamond drilling, surface geochemistry, geological mapping, and petrography enables new targeting insights. By combining and interpreting these datasets within a porphyry-epithermal framework, a cohesive core porphyry target area has been identified. This integration has led to several significant observations:A large area of possible porphyry-related magnetite destruction is inferred from magnetic data and surface geology.RTP magnetics show a broad, moderate magnetic response in the Hank area (Figure 1). This zone also appears in other magnetic inversion products and aligns with mapped surface alteration.Other datasets confirm a large volume of altered rock marked by magnetite loss and potential remanent magnetization. Cross sections (Figures 2-4) show the extent of the alteration, with high chargeability highlighting a core target. Drillhole HW-25-011 confirmed significant mineralization matching magnetic, chargeability, and resistivity anomalies.Abundant pyrite and sericite at surface and in HW-25-011 support magnetite destruction, including high pyrite-to-chalcopyrite ratios. These features match flanking phyllic alteration.Petrographic and drill core analysis further confirm magnetite destructive sericite-quartz-pyrite alteration assemblages in HW-25-011 (Figure 5).Figures 2-4 show that resistivity sections from the MMT and DC-resistivity surveys outline a broad, low-angle blanket of low-resistivity (conductive) rock. This blanket lies above and to the side of the core target area, which is defined by coincident chargeability and magnetic anomalies.This low-resistivity (conductive) anomaly, clearly mapped in the sections, is interpreted as an area of widespread clay alteration associated with the porphyry-epithermal mineral system.A pronounced, mushroom-shaped conductivity zone marks a fluid pathway in the porphyry-epithermal system.Volumes of moderate resistivity lie beneath the low resistivity anomaly in the DC-resistivity sections (Figures 2-4). These areas are near or overlap the chargeability anomalies. They may be intrusive porphyry stocks that are more resistant than the surrounding clay-altered wall rock.Hank Porphyry Petrographic StudyPetrographic analysis of the Hank porphyry confirmed complex mineralogy near syn-mineral intrusions and widespread magnetite-destructive alteration (Figure 5). Narrow, syn-mineral intrusions host bornite and tennantite along with chalcopyrite, indicating a fertile system. Electrum is also identified as 5-10 micron-sized grains near these intrusions, closely associated with copper minerals including bornite, chalcopyrite and tennantite.Investor Relations EngagementsThe Company entered into an investor relations consulting agreement with Adelaide Capital Markets Inc. ("Adelaide") dated March 1, 2026, for various investor relations services at an aggregate cost of C$8,000 per month, payable monthly, subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").The agreement has an initial term commencing March 1, 2026, and ending April 30, 2027, and will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis thereafter unless terminated in accordance with its terms.

Kingfisher Confirms Blind Copper-Gold Porphyry Discovery at Hank, HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle, British Columbia

Posted on January 22, 2026In News

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce final assay results from the 2025 drilling program at the HWY 37 Project. The 933 km2 HWY 37 Project is located within the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.

Drillhole HW-25-011 confirms discovery of a new copper – gold (Cu-Au) porphyry system below the Hank epithermal gold-silver (Au-Ag) mineralized system. Assays from HW-25-011 returned 425.0 meters[1] (m) of 0.40% CuEq[2] (0.15% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au and 2.2 g/t Ag) (Figure 1 – 5). This newly identified zone represents a blind discovery, as porphyry Cu-Au mineralization had not previously been recognized or reported at Hank. These results validate Kingfisher’s exploration model and demonstrate the potential for the Hank area to host one or more large-scale porphyry Cu-Au systems.

Highlights from this release include:

Discovery of a blind porphyry Cu-Au system with 425.0 m of 0.40% CuEq (Figure 1 – 5).
Potential for a large-tonnage porphyry Cu-Au system nested below the Hank epithermal Au-Ag system (Figure 1 – 5).
Zonation observed in drillhole HW-25-011 progresses from low to higher temperature alteration demonstrating a vector towards a porphyry heat source to the southeast. This is indicated by:
Increasing Cu:Au ratios downhole toward the southeast (Figure 4)
Sulfide mineralogy (see summary and discussion below)
Alteration and vein zonation (see summary and discussion below)
2026 Target Area to be drill tested, approximately 1.75 km x 0.95 km (Figure 2 – 5), defined by geophysical, geological and exploration inputs[3].
Mineralization remains open in all directions, with the drill hole terminating in increasing copper grades at 959.0 m depth (Figure 3).
Induced polarization (IP) surveys lines north and south of HW-25-011 outline broad areas of chargeability possibly indicating the presence of a large, disseminated sulfide body (Figure 4).

Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher, states, “The final hole of the 2025 program validates our long-standing belief that the shallow Hank Au-Ag epithermal mineralization is driven by a large porphyry Cu-Au system. This impressive first intercept of 425.0 metres of 0.40% CuEq is interpreted to be on the margin of the system, with anticipated increases in grade toward the conceptual core. The scale and consistency of this discovery, along with a wide untested area hosting strong geophysical anomalies, highlight the potential for further exploration and support the need for aggressive follow-up drilling in 2026.”
