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 3,800 ac, including 15 former operating mines including the past producing Howard Copper Mine.  And is situated 100 km (64 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 8 km (12 miles) N.W. of Arizona Metals and 100 km (60 miles) south of the historic Jerome Copper mine.

 

The Howard Copper Mine Property is located on 78 acres of patented land approximately 100 km (64 miles) north of Phoenix AZ.  Discovered in the early 1920’s, small scale production and development focused on high-grade copper.  An estimated 100,000 tonnes of copper grading between 3-5% copper was mined from the property until it was closed in 1942 due to the inability to secure fuel rations during WW2. 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.
