Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - September 29, 2025 – King Global Ventures Inc. (CSE: KING | OTC: KGLDF | FSE: 5LM1) (“King Global” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the mobilization of its Phase II diamond drilling program at the Howard Copper Project, located in Yavapai County, Arizona. The program will comprise approximately 7,000 to 9,000 feet of diamond drilling across nine planned drill holes, focused on testing newly identified geophysical anomalies south of the historic Howard Mine.

Boart Longyear Ltd. has been contracted to execute the drilling program.

The most significant intercepts from the Phase I drill program at the Howard Project were encountered in the southernmost holes, located beyond the extent of the historic mine workings (see press release d: August 13, 2025). The Phase I program also confirmed the presence of two distinct volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralized horizons within the Spud Mountain Formation:

• A copper-only remobilized zone, interpreted as structurally focused mineralization derived from a distal VMS source and,  

• a copper-gold-zinc-silver–rich, vent-proximal horizon, interpreted as a synvolcanic feeder system. 

These results suggest the potential for previously unrecognized, mineralized horizons at depth and along strike to the south.

Targeting Three Untested Gravity Anomalies

The Phase II drill program will follow-up  on the results of Phase 1 drilling and is designed to test three large, discrete gravity anomalies identified through inversion modeling completed by ALS Geoanalytics in Q3 2025. These anomalies trend NNW–SSE, parallel to regional stratigraphy, and lie within untested volcanic-sedimentary units south of the Phase I drill fence.

Exploration Program Summary

These results confirm the presence of stacked, laterally continuous sulphide-bearing horizons, with strong potential for expansion to the south along strike and down-dip.

Preparatory Work to Refine Drill Targets

Prior to drilling, King Global completed an integrated exploration program to enhance geological understanding and optimize drill collar locations. This program included:

An extended ground gravity survey, expanding the original coverage and improving resolution across the southern target area;

A ground electromagnetic (EM) survey, aimed at detecting sulphide-related conductors coincident with modeled gravity anomalies;

Detailed geological mapping, (recently complete, report pending), providing lithological and structural control to guide interpretation;

Systematic soil geochemistry, targeting surface expressions of concealed mineralization along projected VMS trends.

Robert Dzisiak, CEO of King stated “we are quite pleased to drill test the three large, untested gravity anomalies south of the Howard mine with the potential to expand the known mineralization.  A lot of geological exploration and testing has gone into the planning of this program, and we greatly look forward to starting this next phase of drilling at our Black Canyon project.”

About King Global Ventures:

 

Black Canyon Property in Arizona

 

King Global Ventures is focused on the exploration of precious and base metals in North America.  The Black Canyon Project in Yavapai County Arizona is comprised of 213 contiguous concessions covering a total area of 4,0003, acres, comprising 15 former operating mines including the past producing Howard Copper Mine.  And the project is situated 100 km (62 miles) north of Phoenix Arizona.  The Black Canyon Project represents an early-stage exploration opportunity targeting copper-gold-silver-zinc, Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (“VMS”) mineralization.  The geology of Yavapai County, Arizona is notable due to the presence of a variety of base and precious metal deposit types.  The region has a significant history of exploration, discovery and mining operations, including base metals from mining operations like Bagdad, Jerome and Cleopatra.  The property is on trend and is approximately 13 km (8 miles) N.W. of Arizona Metals Corp. (T:AMC) .

 

The Howard Copper Mine Property is located on 78 acres of patented land.  Discovered in the early 1920’s, small scale production and development focused on high-grade copper.  Historical reports state that the main shaft was sunk to the 900-foot level, but that no ore was mined below the 500-foot level.  

 

The Mikwam Property

 

The Mikwam Gold Property is located in Noseworthy Township within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of the Superior Province, northeastern Ontario. It lies along the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone that hosts Detour Gold’s Burntbush Property. The Mikwam deposit is hosted within Timiskaming-aged polymictic conglomerate and greywacke units and contains disseminated and vein-hosted gold mineralization associated with quartz-carbonate veins and pyrite mineralization.

A NI 43-101 technical report prepared for Galena International Resources Ltd. by Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc., dated December 8, 2016, disclosed a historical inferred mineral resource of 1,810,000 tonnes grading 2.34 g/t gold, containing 136,000 ounces of gold at a cut-off grade of 1.00 g/t Au. This estimate (announced by Galena in a December 12, 2016 press release) is historical in nature, was not prepared for King Global Ventures Inc., and should not be considered current. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
