Kingfisher Metals Reports 110 Meters of 0.47 g/t Gold in ~500 m step-out at Hank and Extends Gold in Soil Anomalyat Hank on the HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle, British Columbia

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

Results have been received for an additional four diamond drill holes and soil samples from the 2025 program. Diamond drill hole HW-25-006 returned the longest gold intercepts ever at the Upper Hank epithermal system. The drill hole cut 110.0 m of 0.47 g/t Au (Figure 1, 2 & 3). This hole collared approximately 500 m to the southeast of the historical non-43-101 compliant mineral resource within the Pit area (0.22 MT of 4.4 g/t Au at West Pit and 0.22 MT of 2.4 g/t Au at East Pit). This drill hole demonstrates high potential for lateral andvertical expansion of a near surface bulk tonnage disseminated gold system. A 500 m gap in drilling to northwest at Pit deposit, 600 m gap in drilling to west, two shallow intercepts to south, and untested eastern domains points to significant growth potential.

Soil samples to the north of Hank have extended the gold-in-soils anomaly to the northeast by 1,100 m with samples up to 1732.3 ppb(1.73 g/t) Au (Figure 7). Results from the Williams porphyry systemin drill hole HW-25-001 also returned values of 548.1 m of 0.31 g/t AuEq including a 124.2 m of 0.43 g/t AuEq. This hole was drilled on the northwestern margin of the Williams deposit (Figure 4). 

Highlights from this release include:

• HW-25-006 (Hank):  241.0 m of 0.28 g/t Au from 192.0 m

o Including 110.0 m at 0.47 g/t Au from 197.0 m

• HW25-001 (Williams): 548.1 of 0.31 g/t AuEq or 0.34% CuEq3 from 294.0 m

o Including 124.2 m of 0.43 g/t AuEq or 0.47% CuEq from 426.6 m

• SoilsExpansion of the gold in soil anomaly by approximately 1,100 m to the northeast, with samples up to 1732.3 ppb (1.73g/t) Au

Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher, states “Hole 6 represents a significant advancement for the Hank area of the HWY 37 ProjectTogether with our enhanced geological understanding of the area, this drill hole demonstrates a significant increase in scale of a shallow bulk-tonnage gold system at HankThe result from hole 6 combined with our incipient porphyry discovery in hole 11  shows that there is potential for a large near surface gold system situated above a large porphyry Cu-Au target, both within close proximity to highway and powerExtending the already large Hank gold-in-soil anomaly by over 1 km to the northeast further reinforces the impressive scale of the mineral system we are exploring.”

HW-25-006 (Hank) Summary

Hole HW-25-006 was collared approximately 500 m to the southeast of the historical non-43-101 compliant mineral resource within the Pit area (0.22 MT at 4.4 g/t Au at West Pit and 0.22 MT @ 2.4 g/t Au at East Pit). This drill hole returned 110.0 m of 0.47 g/t Au  within a broader zone of 241.0 m of 0.28 g/t Au (Figures 2 & 3).  These findings indicate potential for expanding a near-surface bulk tonnagegold system both laterally and vertically. The results of HW-25-006, combined with significant spacing between historical drill holes opena large search space for the Kingfisher Exploration Team to target in future exploration programs. Historical drilling within this near surface gold zone was primarly designed to test gold soil anomalies with minimal focus on testing higher-grade structural corridors within the prospective area. Integrating the recently completed LiDAR survey into our 3D geology model will strengthen targeting of higher-grade ore shoots and feeders to the lower grade disseminated gold system. 

HW-25-006 was the first drill test by Kingfisher into the large-scale lithocap identified at Hank. The drill passed through a previously mapped pyrite-rich diatreme breccia body at surface, host to sooty pyrite-cement breccias (5–10% pyrite) which carry the gold intercept. These pyrite-rich units were also found to host traces of molybdenite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena, and elevated cobalt mineralization as identifed visually and with pXRF. The pyrite alteration and veinsextend the known hydrothermal system deeper than previously mapped or drilled, with interpretation of the data continuing to determine the full potential of the Hank system. The pyrite explains the IP chargeability anomaly, suggesting strong future potential for targeting porphyry and precious metal systems, pending full assay results (only fire-assay Au results received to date for HW-25-006).

HW-25-001 (Williams) Summary

HW-25-001 was completed upslope and west of the mineralized porphyry at Williams that crops out at surface. It was drilled steeply to the east at 119o azimuth and -80o dip. The drill hole wasdesigned to test the potassic core of the Williams porphyry system at depth, unfortunately it deviated more that 40 degrees on azimuth which was significantly more than expected and resulted in testing the flank of the system instead of the intended target.Despite this, HW-25-001 intersected potassic alteration overprinted by phyllic alteration and returned 548.1 m of 0.31 g/t AuEq or 0.34% CuEq including 124.2 m of 0.43 g/t AuEq or 0.47 % CuEq (Figures 4 & 5). This was the first drill test into Williams by Kingfisher, and it identified two distinct porphyry intrusive phases at Williams, enhancing Kingfisher’s understanding of the mineralized system and enabled more precise targeting of the younger, more productive intrusive phase.

HW-25-002 & 003

HW-25-002 and HW-25-003 were drilled to the northwest of the Hank epithermal system and returned short intervals of gold and silver mineralization with up to 10 m of 0.45 g/t gold and 1.4 g/t silver and 4 m of 0.77 g/t gold with 8.6 g/t silver respectively (Figures 1 & 6).These results demonstrate potential for identifying further mineralized systems to the north of Hank. These holes were targeting shallow chargeability anomalies linked to the Williams porphyry at depth. Hole HW-25-003 showed intense quartz-sericite-pyrite-carbonate alteration in the top 250 m interpreted to be a porphyry-flanking alteration assemblage. This hole validates the potential location and scale of the Kaip porphyry target, ~450 m to the southwest. Both holes intersected a polyphase diatreme breccia, interpreted to be emplaced before Williams’ mineralization. Diatreme breccias often precede or follow porphyry Cu-Au deposit formation. Mapping and drill data from the Williams porphyry area suggest potential for porphyry Cu-Au at the margins of this diatreme. These observations elevate the prospectivity of other targets areas located to the south of these holes and the deep chargeability anomaly remains unresolved.

Soil Sampling Summary

Results from the 793 soils samples taken during the 2025 season have been received. The program was a combination of expanding coverage in prospective areas, as well as infill in areas where historical samples were not analyzed for a full assay suite of elements (Figures 7 & 8).

Highlights from the soil sampling program include a sample as high at 1.73 g/t (1732.3 ppb) Au collected on the northeastern edge of the historical Hank soil grid, expanding the gold in soil anomaly to the northeast. There is also a soil sample collected below the Cliff porphyry with 633 ppm Cu, 0.596 g/t (596 ppb) Au, 58.63 g/t Ag, & 235 ppm Mo in an area of no drilling (Figure 7). Kingfisher believes that these soil sample results will help define additional targets at the HWY-37 project for future exploration programs.

Outstanding Results

Kingfisher is still awaiting assays for diamond drill holes HW-25-008, HW-25-009, HW-25-010 and HW-25-011. It is unknown when these assay results will be received. Turn-around-times at the laboratory have been longer than expected. Kingfisher will release the data as soon as possible after receipt. 

The Company is also waiting on final IP and airborne EM (MMT) geophysical datasets as finalized geological mapping data collected during the 2025 field program. Results of these surveys will be released once received and interpreted. 

Furthermore, the Company has been notified by the Association of Mineral Exploration BC (AMEBC) that is has been accepted to present drill core from HWY 37 on January 26th and 27th 2026 at the AMEBC Roundup Core shack in Vancouver. Drill core from Williams as well as the new Hank porphyry system (HW-25-011) will be on display for the public to view. 

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QAQC)

Drilling on site at the HWY 37 Project was supervised by on-site Kingfisher personnel who implemented a full QAQC program using coarse blanks, pulp blanks, standards, and duplicates inserted into the sample stream to monitor analytical accuracy and precision. The samples were sealed on site using tamper proof seals with unique identifiers. The samples were sent to the BV lab in Vancouver, British Columbia. BV’s quality control system complies with global certifications for Quality ISO/IEC 17025:2017 – General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. Diamond drill core samples were analyzed using a combination of BV’s MA200 process for low level concentrations (4 acid digestion/ICP-ES/MS) and MA 370 process for higher level concentrations (4 acid digestion/ICP-ES). Gold assaying was completed using FA430, a 30-gram fire assay with AAS finish. If applicable, base metal overlimits were finalized with titration, andgold overlimits completed with a gravimetric finish. Technical 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.

KINGFISHER IDENTIFIES NEW PORPHYRY COPPER SYSTEM BELOW HANK GOLD-SILVER DEPOSITS AT HWY 37 PROJECT, GOLDEN TRIANGLE

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, September 23, 2025 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the identification of a new porphyry copper system below the Hank epithermal gold-silver system at the HWY-37 project. Additionally, the program at HWY 37 is complete for the 2025 exploration program and crews have been demobilized from site. The 849 km2 HWY 37 Project is located within the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.

HW-25-011 Highlights:

  • Identification of a new porphyry copper system below the Hank epithermal gold – silver deposits.
    • The redrill of the Lower Hank Porphyry target (HW-25-011) intercepted a new porphyry copper system over 429 meters (m). This intercept is significant as it demonstrates the potential for a large porphyry copper-gold system nested below the broad Hank epithermal gold-silver system (Figures 1-3).
    • The gold-silver mineralization observed at surface at Hank is considered to be related to the alteration and mineralization observed in HW-25-011.
    • Alteration and mineralization observed in HW-25-011 is interpreted to be in a proximal position, on the margins of a conceptual porphyry core.

Figure 1: Hank Porphyry Target Plan View

Summary of HW-25-011 & The Hank Porphyry Target

The planned depth of HW-25-011 was 650 m, however, it was extended to a final depth of 959 m based on observations of the drill core and to collect targeting data for follow-up drilling in 2026. Porphyry style alteration and mineralization was first observed at 530 m downhole depth and continued over 429 m with the end of hole (959 m) bottoming in copper mineralization.

Additional induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey data collected in 2025 helped to further refine the compelling geophysical signature of this target.  High chargeability domains (30-70 mV/V) flank a broad domain of moderate to high chargeability (20-30 mV/V) in this area (Figure 2).  This is interpreted to represent a pyrite-dominant shell lateral to a copper-sulfide dominant core.  IP resistivity also shows a broad resistive feature that is interpreted to represent a resistive porphyry intrusive core surrounded by conductive clay alteration (Figure 3). Airborne magnetics show a broad 1800 m x 900 m magnetic feature that could be mapping porphyry alteration (Figure 1).

These results and observations are significant in that they validate Kingfisher’s exploration model and demonstrate the potential for the Hank area to host a large-scale porphyry copper gold deposit.

Dustin Perry, CEO, states “This initial drill test below the extensive Hank epithermal Au-Ag system encountered a new porphyry copper system. This targeting success is a major advancement in confirming our exploration hypothesis that a large porphyry copper-gold system is responsible for the broad epithermal Au-Ag mineralization at Hank on surface. Our long-standing belief has been that the Hank alteration footprint was caused by either a cluster of Williams-style porphyry systems or that a larger porphyry system is located directly underneath it. This single drill hole appears to have glanced the side of robust new system.”

Figure 2: Hank Porphyry Target IP Chargeability

Figure 3:  Hank Porphyry Target IP Resistivity

Alteration observed in HW-25-011 is consistent with what is typically observed at the flanks of a porphyry copper-gold system. Visual observations of drill core show widespread multigenerational porphyry-style veins and disseminated mineralization with pyrite greater than chalcopyrite ± molybdenite throughout the intercept. Prior to this drill hole, historical drilling at Hank had not identified porphyry style mineralization (disseminated and porphyry vein hosted chalcopyrite) or zoned porphyry alteration.  

Three domains of interest were intersected in the hole:

  1. 0 – 530 m: Distal low temperature alteration quartz-carbonate veins and disseminated pyrite, elevated lead and zinc.
  2. 530 – 900 m: Proximal position porphyry alteration with quartz-chlorite-sericite-+/-epidote-pyrite in basalt. Pyrite to chalcopyrite ratios very high – chalcopyrite elevated in higher quartz stockwork domains (Figures 4-6).
  3. 890 – 969 m: Proximal position porphyry alteration with chalcopyrite:pyrite ratios increasing and early K-feldspar-magnetite veins appear within the broad quartz-chlorite pyrite-chalcopyrite±molybdenite alteration reflecting a vector to a heat source or core system (Figures 7-9).

Hole HW-25-009 Summary

HW-25-009 was completed since the last release. It targeted the root area to the southwest Williams deposit. The hole started and continued in flanking alteration and mineralization until end of hole. The flanking alteration observed is K-feldspar-epidote-magnetite and high pyrite: chalcopyrite ratios – for the full length of the hole (Figure 10). The hole was terminated at 761 m which is ahead of 800 m target depth as it was determined it would not intersect the projected higher grade potassic alteration target.

KINGFISHER METALS REPORTS 234 METERS OF 1.0% COPPER EQUIVALENT, WITHIN 558 METERS OF 0.64% CUEQ AT HWY 37 PROJECT, GOLDEN TRIANGLE, BRITISH COLUMBIA

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce initial results from the 2025 drilling program at the HWY 37 Project. The 849 km2 HWY 37 Project is located within the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. 

HW-25-004 has returned one of the highest and longest grade copper-gold intercepts ever completed at the Williams porphyry copper-gold deposit.  The drillhole intercepted 557.8 meters[1] of 0.29% copper, 0.30 g/t gold, and 1.6 g/t silver (0.64% CuEq)[2] (Table 1). Importantly this hole highlights a body of strong bornite mineralization demonstrating the potential for additional high-grade porphyry copper gold deposits at the HWY 37 Project.  Highlights include:

  • HW-25-004557.8 meters at 0.64% CuEq from 328.10 meters
    • Including 234.35 meters at 1.00% CuEq from 328.10 meters

Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher, states “In these initial drill results we see clear confirmation of our exploration concepts – consistent vertical grade and expansion of the bornite-rich stockwork. The new data de-risks the broader project targets, justifies future drill meters, and strengthens our conviction that we’re advancing a value-creating asset for shareholders.”

HW-25-004 Summary

HW-25-004 was collared at 169o degrees and -75o dip (Figure 1 &  2), upslope and north of potassic alteration at Williams. After passing through the Williams thrust fault at 327 meters (m), the drill cut into copper-bearing potassic alteration ( Figure 3). Well-developed potassic alteration with chalcopyrite-bornite-diginite is present from 328 to 805 m downhole with chalcopyrite-dominant mineralization from 805 to end of hole at 885.9 m. Bornite occurs at surface at the discovery outcrop 1040 m elevation (m el.) and has been intersected in historical drilling down to 480 m el. These new results extend bornite mineralization to 340 m el., or 140 m deeper than previously known (Figure 2). The higher-grade subinterval of 328.10 to 562.45 m is associated with several syn-mineral porphyry phases and elevated copper is best developed in high fracture zones, breccia and higher vein density at the margin to the porphyry contacts. This subinterval is interpreted to be the hot core of the sulfide system, as bornite > chalcopyrite. Bornite-rich cores to porphyry systems are commonly associated with associated elevated gold grades. This is the first intercept of the deeper extents of the bornite > chalcopyrite body and the vertical extent of this body is unknown.

Kingfisher Provides Exploration Update at HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the 2025 exploration program at the HWY 37 Project. The 849 km2 HWY 37 Project is located within the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. 

Drilling to date has focused on testing for depth extensions of the Williams porphyry Cu-Au system, porphyry Cu-Au targets across the valley (east) in areas with no historical drilling, and at the Upper and Lower Hank porphyry Cu-Au targets (Figures 1, 2 and Table 1).

Summary of Work Completed to date:
  • 6,850 meters of drilling
    • HW-25-001, -002, -003, -004, and -006 have been sent to the Bureau Veritas lab for assay (currently logging the remainder)
  • 84 person days of mapping
  • >750 soil samples
  • >650 surface rocks samples
  • 30.7 line-km of IP geophysics
  • 1,750 line-km (covering ~319 km2) of airborne Mobile Magneto Tellurics (MMT) geophysical survey
  • Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey covering 256 km2 

The exploration team is busy compiling and interpreting all the information that has been collected this season.

Dustin Perry, CEO, states “We continue to see our exploration hypothesis validated with visible copper mineralization directly below known grade at Williams. HW-25-006 at Upper Hank intersected an 800-m vertically extensive sulfide-bearing hydrothermal system, confirming our hypothesis that the multi-kilometer scale hydrothermal system at Hank extends significantly at depth. In addition to drilling, our exploration team and consultants have covered a broad area with multiple geological, geophysical, and geochemical programs that will serve to further unlock the potential of this highly prospective large project.”

Table1: Summary of drill program status

Williams Area Drilling

At the time of writing, four diamond drill holes have been completed (3,375 m) within the Williams mineralized system, with one in progress. The initial two holes completed at Williams, HW-25-001 and HW-25-004 were previously discussed in a news release on July 31st.  Since that time, HW-25-008 and HW-25-010 have been completed to a total depth of 893 m and 797 m respectively.  HW-25-009 is currently in progress and is proposed to a final depth of 750 m (see Figure 1). The purpose of the drill holes HW-25-008, -009, and -010 are to delineate the deep-level geometry of the Williams porphyry system.

HW-25-008

This hole was designed to cross quartz stockwork veins with chalcopyrite +/- bornite mineralization observed at surface, and test the strike and depth extent of the Williams porphyry to the northeast. Hole HW-25-008 has several intercepts (Figures 3, 4, 5) of both early and syn-mineral monzonite porphyry with higher copper mineralized intervals with bornite within and at flank of the syn-mineral porphyry. 

Summary:

  • 0–157 m: potassic alteration with varying amounts of chalcopyrite ± bornite
  • 157–253 m: felsic stratigraphy with low sulfide and trace chalcopyrite concentrations
  • 253–810 m: potassic alteration in mixed monzonite and wall rock with variable chalcopyrite ± bornite
  • 810–893 m: flanking alteration of epidote-magnetite-K-feldspar, low relative chalcopyrite and increase in pyrite

HW-25-009

Hole HW-25-009 collared in the SW Williams deposit with azimuth of 260o and dip of -82o. It is designed to cross and characterize the deeper extents of the porphyry alteration below historical hole HNK-18-002.  At the time of writing, this hole is in progress.

HW-25-010

Hole HW-25-010 collars uphill of HW-25-009 on same drill pad as HW-25-008 with azimuth of 075º and dip of -85º. Similar to hole HW-25-009, the hole is designed to test the deeper domain boundaries of the porphyry system. Hole HW-25-010 accomplished this goal and defined the eastern boundary of the porphyry alteration system. The hole is recently shut down and detailed geological logging is underway.  

Summary:

  • 0–196.5 m: potassic alteration with varying amounts of chalcopyrite +/- bornite in wall rock
  • 196.5–268 m: felsic host rock less favourable host, low relative chalcopyrite abundance
  • 268–521 m: variable potassic alteration in mixed monzonite and wall rock with chalcopyrite +/- bornite
  • 521–797 m: wall rock overprinted by porphyry flanking-type alteration (K-feldspar-epidote-magnetite-chlorite) and low relative chalcopyrite

Figure 6: HW-25-010 – 44.8 m (Bn = Bornite, Cpy = Chalcopyrite)1
Potassic alteration with copper sulfide mineralization

Upper Hank Drilling

Hole HW-25-006 was collared at 295o azimuth and -78o dip and targeted a chargeability anomaly at Upper Hank. The hole follows an initial attempt with HW-25-005, which was lost at 281 m depth due to challenging ground conditions.

Preliminary Summary of HW-25-006:

  • The data and observations are currently being compiled and interpreted.  Once final assay results are received, we will concentrate on final interpretations and possible future targeting
  • This is the first test into the large-scale lithocap observed on the project
  • Drilled to a total depth of 842 m
  • Vertically zoned system from upper chalcedonic silica-pyrite to deeper-level biotite-quartz-pyrite
  • Collared into a previously mapped pyrite-rich breccia body at surface
  • The drill continued through zones of variable concentrations of sooty pyrite cement breccias (pyrite 5-10%) and fine pyrite stringers within basalt until end of hole at 842 m
    • The pyrite-rich breccia units are accompanied by local zones of trace base metal sulfides that include molybdenite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and galena
    • This widespread pyrite alteration and veins significantly extends the historically mapped and drilled hydrothermal system to depth
    • At this time, the hydrothermal alteration observed at Upper Hank is not interpreted to be porphyry in character and interpretation is ongoing
  • The amount of pyrite intercepted in the drill hole explains the IP chargeability anomaly
    • These results suggest that the Upper Hank chargeability anomaly has the potential for future targeting of both porphyry and precious metal mineralized systems but, this will have to be validated with receipt of all data and assays

Lower Hank Drilling

Hole HW-25-011 is currently drilling at the Lower Hank Porphyry Target with a collar azimuth of 110o and a dip of -65o. This is a re-drill hole HW-25-007, which was lost to equipment issues at 192 m. The hole is projected to intersect a steep quartz-sericite-pyrite-carbonate structure mapped on surface (>5% Py) at 200 m drill hole depth. The projection of the low-angle plunge of Au-Ag mineralization in the historical LAZ drill holes projects to ~200-250 m depths of the planned hole. Below 250 m, the hole is projected to pass into the chargeability anomaly (> 25 mv/V) and will test for a porphyry body at a comparable elevation to the Williams deposit.

Regional Exploration Update

The airborne electromagnetic (MMT) survey is complete covering an area of 319 km2. Induced polarization (IP) geophysics is also complete with a total of 30.7 line-kilometer surveyed. Additionally, a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey covering 256 km2 over the Hank-Williams-Mary area has been completed to further assist with structural modeling.   

A large surface mapping campaign was conducted by Dr. Stephanie Sykora focused on Williams-Hank area and Dr. Roy Greig with a team of mapping geologists from C.J. Greig & Associates focusing on regional geology and targeting. A total of 84 person days of field mapping are complete.

Kingfisher Provides Update on Drill Program at HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the previously announced 7,500-meter (“m”) drill program at the HWY 37 Project. Drilling at Williams has extended potassic alteration with chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization by ~150 m below the limits of historical drilling. Bornite is mapped at surface and identified to a vertical depth of approximately 680 m in drill core.  HW-25-004 intersected a broad zone of intense potassic alteration over 478 m. The 849 km2 HWY 37 Project is located within the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. 

Drilling to date has focused on testing for depth extensions of the Williams porphyry Cu-Au system, porphyry Cu-Au targets across the valley (east) in an area with no historical drilling, and at the Upper and Lower Hank porphyry Cu-Au targets (Fig. 1).

Dustin Perry, CEO, states “So far, the 2025 drill program has matched our expectations of vertically extending porphyry mineralization at Williams as well as providing a much clearer understanding of this highly prospective district. Our exploration hypothesis indicates vertical continuity of the gold-rich bornite zone, and these holes demonstrate that bornite continues to depth where it was predicted.”

Figure 1: Hank-Williams Drill Area

Williams Area Drilling

The first drill hole of the program, HW-25-001, was completed upslope and west of potassic alteration and drilled steeply to the east. The drill hole was collared at a 110o azimuth and -80o dip, designed to test the western limit of the porphyry system and provide important data to define the orientation of the mineralized system at Willams. The drill struggled passing through several fault zones and deviated clockwise significantly more than historical drill holes in the region ending approximately 40o azimuth from the planned target. Despite this, HW-25-001 intersected potassic alteration, often overprinted by phyllic alteration with chalcopyrite ± bornite mineralization from 390 m726 m (Fig. 2 and 3), end of hole was at 803 m and bottomed in early mineral monzanite.  This drill test provided valuable insights to the mineralized system at Williams including identifying two porphyry intrusive phases that were previously lumped into one. The insights have improved Kingfisher’s geoscience teams understanding of the mineralized system at Williams and allowed for better targeting of the younger more productive intrusive phase.

Drill holes HW-25-002 (275o/-60o) and HW-25-003 (285o/-68o) were drilled across Hank Creek to the southeast and tested shallow chargeability anomalies that coalesce with the Williams porphyry chargeability signature at depth. Drilling in both holes encountered widespread intense quartz-sericite-pyrite-carbonate alteration in the top 250 m (HW-25-002) and 350 m (HW-25-003).  Below this, it transitioned to a less altered, polyphase diatreme breccia which is interpreted to be emplaced before the mineralizing events at Williams (Fig 4). Diatreme breccias are commonly formed as an eruptive phase preceding or post-dating the formation of porphyry Cu-Au deposits.  Surface mapping and drill results are interpreted to demonstrate high prospectivity for porphyry Cu-Au discovery at the margins of the diatreme breccia. It is believed that the Williams deposit, the Kaip target and the Williams East target (Fig. 1) are located at this boundary. At depth, the chargeability anomaly remains unexplained.

Figure 4: HW-25-002: 516m1

HW-25-004 was collared at 174o degrees and -76o dip, upslope and north of potassic alteration at Williams. After passing through the Williams thrust fault at 327 m, the drill hole entered Cu-bearing potassic alteration. Intense potassic alteration with chalcopyrite-bornite mineralization (vein, stringer, disseminated, and blebby) was intersected from 327 to 805 m downhole and trace chalcopyrite to end of hole at 884.9 m (Figs. 5-8). Bornite occurs at surface (Fig. 9) at the discovery outcrop and has been intersected in drilling down to a vertical extent of 680 m. Strong potassic alteration comparable to what was noted in historical drill hole HNK-18-013 was intersected across this broad interval and extended visible copper mineralization ~150 m below historical drilling levels. Mineralization is open at depth and will be tested with additional drilling this field season.

Upper Hank Drilling

Hole HW-25-005 was collared at 275o azimuth and -76o dip and was targeting the Upper Hank Porphyry Target. This hole had to be abandoned before the planned depth of 800 m at 280 m due to drilling difficulties. This hole cut below the surface projection of a mapped polymictic, pyrite-rich breccia body. Two narrow porphyry intrusions were intersected accompanied by stringer veins of pyrite-magnetite-hematite and show similarities to intrusions observed at Williams. A new hole, HW-25-006 is a re-drill and is currently underway to test the chargeability anomaly target at depth below the pyrite-rich breccia.

Figure 10: HW-25-005: 197m1

Lower Hank Drilling

Hole HW-25-007 is currently drilling at the Lower Hank Porphyry target with a collar azimuth of 174o and a dip of -65o. The hole is projected to intersect a steep quartz-sericite-pyrite-carbonate body mapped on surface (>5% Py) to 200 m depth. The broad low-angle plunge of Cu-Au-Ag grade in the historical LAZ drill holes projects to ~200-250 m depths of the planned hole. Below 250 m, the hole is projected to pass into the chargeability anomaly (> 25 mv/V) and will test for indications of a porphyry body at a comparable elevation to the Williams deposit.

Regional Exploration Update

The airborne electromagnetic (MMT) survey is underway with approximately 65% of the survey completed so far. Induced polarization (IP) geophysics crews arrived on site on July 26th and are currently surveying the Hank-Williams-Mary trend. Soil sampling was completed over a three-week period and collected over 750 samples. This soil sampling program successfully covered gaps in historical sampling between Hank-Williams and Mary-ME, NE of Mary and ME, and within the valley southeast of Hank and ME. 

Dr. Stephanie Sykora has been onsite for approximately two weeks. Her work has focused better understanding the controls on mineralization at the Williams area. Dr. Sykora’s mapping campaign has been supported correlating the surface observations with detailed drill core logging.  In the coming week Dr. Roy Greig and a team of mapping geologists from C.J. Greig & Associates will arrive on site to map several grassroots regions on the project.

Kingfisher Announces Extensive Exploration Program at HWY 37 Project

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce an extensive exploration program including 7,500 metres of diamond drilling at the HWY 37 Project. Field crews arrived on site last week with camp construction underway and the first of two drills are expected to arrive in approximately one week.  The 849 km2 HWY 37 Project is located within the Golden Triangle, British Columbia. 

Summary of 2025 Exploration Program

The 2025 program is focused on the discovery of porphyry copper – gold deposits and will include 7,500 metres of diamond drilling, a ~1,700-line kilometre airborne mobile magnetotelluric geophysical survey (MMT), ~30-line kilometres of ground based induced polarization geophysics survey (IP), 150 days of geological mapping, geochemical sampling (>1,500 samples), and a LiDAR survey.

Dustin Perry, CEO, states “The 2025 drill program at HWY 37 is the culmination of two years of consolidation, exploration, target generation, and a recently closed $10.9 million financing. The Hank-Williams porphyry Cu-Au targets represent the most compelling early-stage porphyry targets I have encountered in my career. The target area is host to a regionally significant mineral system with porphyry mineralization at valley-bottom elevations (347 metres of 0.33% copper and 0.39 g/t gold) that have only seen ~6,000 metres of historical drilling, and epithermal gold-silver mineralization up to 27.1 metres of 8.68 g/t gold up-slope at higher elevations. Except for Williams, historical exploration on this extensive mineral system has previously focused on outlining shallow precious metal mineralization. This program marks a turning point for the project where we will test multiple porphyry copper-gold targets as well as expanding upon what has already been discovered at Williams.” 

Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2 outline the proposed areas of work for 2025 and a detailed breakdown of the largest ever exploration program on the extensive HWY 37 Project follows.

Diamond Drill Program

The 7,500 metres diamond drill program will be supported with two diamond drills focused within the Hank-Williams area of the project (Figure 3). Additional targets may be tested beyond this area if additional high-conviction drill targets are identified within the course of the field program. 

The drill program will begin with one drill arriving on approximately June 18, 2025, and the second drill arriving approximately one week later. 

Figure 3: Hank-Williams Proposed Drilling 2025

Summary of Porphyry Drill Targets

Williams Deposit

Initial drilling at Williams will test for extensions of mineralization both above and below the limits of historical drilling as well as providing additional information on the orientation of the porphyry copper-gold system. Historical drilling at Williams encountered regions with intense potassic alteration hosting significant higher-grade intercepts including 190 metres of 0.49% copper and 0.57 g/t gold. Despite excellent initial grades, with limited historical drilling, the previous operator did not fully determine the orientation of the causative porphyry intrusions.

The Company’s working hypothesis for the Williams porphyry copper-gold deposit is that historical drilling only partially tested the structurally focused upper-levels of a broader porphyry system with potential for broadening at depth within a more intrusive dominated domain. 

The three initial planned drill holes range from 700 metres to 900 metres in length and are designed to determine the scale and grade potential of the Williams porphyry system at depth prior to initiating a more substantial step-out drill program. 

Williams East

Drilling is planned east of the Williams Deposit to test a coincident chargeability and conductivity anomaly that shares the same sub vertical characteristics observed at Williams. Three holes are planned in this area ranging from 400-650 metres in length and drilled to the northwest and southeast. The furthest west hole is designed to test the broad chargeability anomaly located at depth and centered on Hank Creek. 

Additional Williams Area Drill Holes

Additional drill holes are proposed within the Williams area to the northeast and south of the Williams deposit. These holes are based on a combination of coincident IP geophysics, magnetics, copper-gold geochemistry in soils and/or rocks, and the regional structural model developed by Kingfisher’s exploration team.

Kaip

An initial 600 metre drill hole is proposed at the Kaip target, and it is designed to test for porphyry copper-gold mineralization below a near surface epithermal gold-silver mineralized zone that returned 24.8 metres of 5.6 g/t gold and 45.9 g/t silver as well 0.8 metres of 133 g/t gold and 263 g/t silver which contained visible gold. Prospecting and mapping in 2024 discovered copper mineralization cropping out in the valley bottom grading up to 0.23% copper. The initial drill hole will target an area over 300 metres below the area tested by historical drilling that focused on epithermal Au-Ag mineralization.

Upper Hank

The Upper Hank Target is upslope of the Pit Gold Deposit and includes intercepts grading up to 27.1 metres of 8.68 g/t gold. The target at Upper Hank is centered on a lithocap containing vuggy silica and advanced argillic minerals (dickite, alunite, diaspore). IP chargeability outlines a sub vertical pipe like anomaly that broadens at depth. The feature extends to surface and is represented by a ~500 x 600 metre breccia body that is cored by a 100 x 75 metre pyritic milled breccia. The Company’s hypothesis is that this represents the top of a porphyry system.

An initial 800 metre drill hole is designed to cross the pyrite breccia body and enter the broad chargeability anomaly at depth. The potential exists for intersecting high-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver mineralization enroute to the porphyry target. Follow up drilling contingent on initial results will test lateral extent as well as areas of favourable structural patterns which have the potential to focus hydrothermal ore forming fluids.

Lower Hank

The Lower Hank Target is located on trend and to the southwest of historical drill tests of epithermal gold-silver mineralization. The nearby Lower Au Hank Deposit epithermal results include 43 metres of 3.13 g/t gold and 31.7 g/t silver (DDH88-4), 64 metres of 1.97 g/t gold and 15 metres of 7.2 g/t gold (DDH89-4), and 342 metres of 0.33 g/t gold. Metal patterns in the Lower Hank Deposit plunge gently to the SW, interpreted by the Company to reflect direction of fluid flow and high exploration potential. The initial planned hole is designed to test a 700-metre gap in historical drilling where recent geological mapping has identified several hallmarks of a porphyry system. Geological mapping in 2023-24 identified large-scale zoned alteration patterns cored by copper grades up to 0.37% at surface. The Lower Hank Porphyry Target is located below these zoned alteration patterns, on the northern shoulder of a large chargeability anomaly and down plunge of the projected fluid pathway.

Regional Surveys

Mobile Magneto Telluric (MMT) Airborne Geophysical Survey

A ~1,700-line kilometre MMT survey is planned to cover the Hank-Williams-Mary region as well as lateral and on-strike continuations of this highly prospective trend. The survey will be completed at 200 metre line spacing in order to provide high-resolution resistivity data across this trend that will aid in identifying additional porphyry centers as well as assisting with drill targeting within these regions. 

The Company is also considering extending the geophysical survey further to the west to cover the Northmore, Mess Creek, and Hickman targets. 

IP Geophysical Survey

Approximately 30-line kilometres of IP geophysics is planned within the Hank-Williams-Mary trend. The survey is designed to further refine targets proximal to the area of drilling as well as extending coverage northwest, southeast, and along strike of the mineralized trend to the northeast towards Mary and the ME zone.

Geological Mapping

A geological mapping team led by Dr. Roy Greig and Dr. Stephanie Sykora will initially focus on the Hank-Williams-Mary trend and extend coverage to the NE from the 2025 drill area.  Additionally, Northmore, Mess Creek, and Hickman will be assessed with the goal of refining drill targets for future drill programs. 

Geochemical Survey

Geochemical sampling will be completed across a broad area in 2025. High priority soil sampling will begin by infilling gaps in historical sampling between Hank-Williams and Mary-ME. Initial sampling will take place northeast of Hank-Williams and south of Ball Creek to the cover a ~2.5 x 1.5-kilometre region and north of Ball Creek where a ~1.5 x 0.6-kilometre area with no historical sampling.

Additional sampling will take place in the valley southeast of Hank Creek, along ridge and spurs within the greater Hank-Williams-Mary trend, and at Mess Creek. 

Rock sampling, prospecting, and collection of spectral data will take place alongside mapping across all target areas.

LiDAR Survey

A high-resolution LiDAR survey is planned for approximately half of the HWY 37 Project focused on the Hank-Williams-Mary area. The survey is being completed to provide structural data for 3D modelling, providing accurate topography, and baseline surface disturbance data.

Kingfisher Announces Upsize of Brokered Private Placement to $10.6 Million

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV: KFR) (FSE: 970) (“Kingfisher or the “Company“) is pleased to announce an upsize to its previously announced “best efforts” private placement. Under the amended terms, the Company will issue up to 7,000,000 of non-flow-through units (the “NFT Units“) at a price of $0.25 per NFT Unit (the “NFT Issue Price“) and up to 21,302,500 flow-through units (the “Premium FT Units” and, together with the NFT Units, the “Offered Securities”) at a price of $0.415 per Premium FT Unit (the “Premium FT Issue Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $10,590,538 (collectively, the “Offering”). Beacon Securities Limited (the “Agent”) is acting as sole agent in connection with the Offering.

Each NFT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (an “NFT Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”).  Each Premium FT Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “FT Share”) and one-half of one Warrant, each of which shall qualify as a “flow-through share” for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”).

Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Company (a “Warrant Share”) at a price per Warrant Share of $0.40 for a period of 36 months from the Closing Date, provided that, in the event that the daily volume weighted average price (or closing bid price on trading days when there are no trades) of the common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) is at least $0.55 per Common Share for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days at any time after the first year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company may, within 10 business days of the occurrence of such event, provide written notice to holders of the Warrants (the “Warrant Acceleration Notice”) accelerating the expiry date of the Warrants to a date that is not less than 30 days following the date of the Warrant Acceleration Notice (and concurrent press release).

In connection with the Offering, the Company has granted the Agent an option (the “Agent’s Option”), exercisable in whole or in part at any time up to 48 hours prior to the Closing Date, to sell up to an additional number of Premium FT Units at the Premium FT Issue Price and/or NFT Units at the NFT Issue Price (the “Additional Offered Securities”) for additional gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000.

The Offered Securities may also be offered and sold in the United States to Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined in Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”)) and to a limited number of “accredited investors” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the 1933 Act), in each case by way of private placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and pursuant to any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States. Any Offered Securities offered and sold in the United States shall be issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the 1933 Act).

An amount equal to gross proceeds from the sale of the Premium FT Units will be used by the Company to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that will qualify as “flow-through critical mining expenditures” as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) and “BC flow-through mining expenditures” as defined in the Income Tax Act (British Columbia) (the “Qualifying Expenditures”) related to the Company’s projects in British Columbia, Canada on or before December 31, 2026. All Qualifying Expenditures will be renounced in favour of the subscribers effective December 31, 2025.

The Offering is expected to close on or about June 3, 2025 (the “Closing Date“) and is subject to the Company receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV. The Offered Securities, NFT Shares, FT Shares and Warrant Shares will be subject to a hold period under Canadian securities laws of four months after the Closing Date.
