Month: April 2026

Multiple 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.

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: 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.”

Geochronology Results

Two 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 2026[2], new data from Kingfisher Metals and includes one previous result from the Williams deposit.

Interpretation: District and timing relative to the Mitchell and Brucejack deposits

District Scale

The similar-age results across Hank, Mary, and Williams (~190–186 Ma) are consistent with a district-scale magmatic centre capable of generating multiple porphyry deposits, analogous to the multi-phase, multi-centre architecture of the world’s largest porphyry districts.

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.

Mitchell

The Mitchell deposit (KSM project) has an interpreted span of mineralization ~192 to 190 Ma with youngest magmatism ending around 189 Ma[4]. 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.

Brucejack

Epithermal gold at Hank emplaced after ~188 and before 184 Ma[5].  This timing ties closely with the nearby Brucejack deposit, where epithermal Au – veins are formed between 184-183 Ma[6]. 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 Fertility

New 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).

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: 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. “

Turquoise Porphyry Target

A 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.

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: 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.”

Summary & Discussion

In 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 Study

Petrographic 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.
