King Global Drilling Encounters High-Grade Polymetallic Veins of Silver, Gold, Lead, Zinc and Antimony



Highlight Intercept of 9 feet (2.7 metres) at 21.8 ounces (619 grams) per tonne Silver, 1.0 g/t Gold, 0.6% Lead, 1.05% Zinc and 375 g/t Antimony

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - December 2, 2025 – King Global Ventures Inc. (CSE:KING) (OTC: KGLDF) (FSE: 5LM1) (the “Company” or “King Global”) is pleased to announce results from the recently completed 9,000-foot, eight-hole diamond drill program at the Silver Cord Project in Yavapai County, Arizona. The drill program consisted of holes SC-25-001, through to 007, designed to test induced polarization (IP) anomalies beneath the historic Silver Cord Mine and to transect the host Spud Mountain Formation, where geophysical and geochemical data indicated strong potential for volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS)–related mineralization.

Drilling successfully intersected multiple polymetallic intervals and confirmed the presence of a polyphase Ag-Pb-Zn-Sb vein system hosted within the Spud Mountain stratigraphy. The program also provided important insight into the nature of the IP anomaly beneath Silver Cord.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Eight-hole, 9,000-ft drill program completed.  

  • Multiple holes intersected high-grade silver–lead–zinc–antimony mineralization typical of a robust hydrothermal vein system.   

  • SC-25-004 intersected a high grade 9.0 ft interval of 619.6 grams (21.8 ounces) per tonne Silver, including 1.5 ft interval grading 1,390 (49 ounces) g/t Silver (48 oz/t), 2.2 g/t Gold with strong Lead, Zinc and Antimony support.  

  • SC-25-007 intersected a high-grade 1.0 ft interval of 625 g/t Ag, 1.0% Pb, and 1,175.0 g/t Antimony.  

  • The IP anomaly beneath the Silver Cord Mine is interpreted as intense siliceous alteration and anomalous copper consistent with intrusive-related hydrothermal activity.  

  • Results support a model for multiple mineralizing pulses and stacked structurally controlled mineralized zones.

RESULTS FROM THE PHASE 1 SILVER CORD DRILL PROGRAM

The results of the 2025 Silver Cord drill program indicate that the project hosts a polymetallic vein system within the Spud Mountain Formation, with geological features that may be consistent with VMS-related hydrothermal processes. Several drill holes, including SC-25-004 and SC-25-007, intersected intervals characterized by elevated silver, lead, zinc, and antimony, while SC-25-005 and SC-25-006 returned Zn-Pb-Cu–rich stringer-style mineralization. Collectively, these results support the conceptual interpretation that the Silver Cord structural corridor acted as a long-lived hydrothermal pathway capable of transporting and depositing metal-bearing fluids.

The observed metal zonation—where early Zn-Pb-Cu veinlets transition upward into broader Ag-Pb-Zn veins, and in places are overprinted by Sb-rich sulfosalt assemblages—is consistent with multi-phase mineralizing systems documented in comparable polymetallic districts (Poulsen & Hedenquist 1988; Staude & Barnes 2001; Bonham 1986; Lehmann & Stumpfl 1985). These comparisons are presented for geological context only, and the Company cautions that such interpretations remain conceptual and require further drilling.

None of the mineralized intervals encountered to date have been closed off. Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth, and the distribution of higher-grade intervals between SC-25-004 and SC-25-007 suggests the possibility of additional mineralized zones occurring along the same structural trend. Similar structural corridors elsewhere commonly host multiple mineralized domains formed during repeated hydrothermal events (Cox & Singer 1986; Robb 2005; Dubé & Gosselin 2007; Hedenquist et al. 2000; Sillitoe 1992). However, the continuity, geometry, and extent of any such zones at Silver Cord have not yet been established and will require additional drilling.

The drill program also defined a broad alteration footprint. Qualitative AI and CCPI patterns suggest a zonation from chlorite–carbonate stringer alteration at depth and in the footwall, transitioning upward into sericite–sulfosalt vein cores associated with the higher-grade Ag-Pb-Sb intervals. This alteration pattern may provide a useful vectoring tool for future exploration. The Company cautions that these interpretations are preliminary and based on limited drilling.

 

CEO QUOTE

Robert Dzisiak, CEO of King Global Ventures stated: “The Silver Cord drill program has delivered very encouraging results at this early stage of exploration. Several holes have returned strong polymetallic intervals, and mineralization remains open in multiple directions. These results continue to build our confidence in the exploration potential of the Silver Cord corridor, and we look forward to advancing the next phase of drilling to better understand the geometry and continuity of the mineralized zones.”

 

THE WAY FORWARD

King Global is currently planning the next phase of drilling at Silver Cord to begin in Q1 2026 to follow-up on these encouraging results. Phase 2 will target extensions of the high-grade intervals and test the structural corridor along strike and to depth
