Kingfisher drilling continues at HWY 37 in B.C.

Executive Summary

• Kingfisher Metals reports extensive 2025 exploration work at the HWY 37 project, including 6,850 m of drilling across multiple porphyry Cu‑Au targets.
• New drill holes (HW‑25‑008, ‑009, ‑010) at the Williams system and HW‑25‑006 at Upper Hank have intersected significant potassic alteration and sulphide mineralization, supporting the company’s hypothesis of deep‑seated hydrothermal systems.
• Comprehensive geophysical and mapping programs (MMT, IP, LiDAR, 84 person‑days of field mapping) have been completed, expanding the dataset for future targeting across the 849 km² project area.

Key Details

• Overall Field Work – 6,850 m of diamond drilling; 84 person‑days of geological mapping; >750 soil samples; >650 surface rock samples; 30.7 km of IP geophysics; 1,750 km (≈319 km²) of airborne MMT survey; 256 km² LiDAR coverage.
• Williams Area – Drilling
• Holes HW‑25‑008 (893 m) and HW‑25‑010 (797 m) completed; HW‑25‑009 in progress to ~750 m depth.
• Intercepts:
  • 0–157 m: potassic alteration with chalcopyrite ± bornite.
  • 157–253 m: felsic stratigraphy, low sulphide.
  • 253–810 m: mixed monzonite‑wall rock with variable chalcopyrite ± bornite.
  • 810–893 m (HW‑25‑008): flanking epidote‑magnetite‑K‑feldspar alteration, low chalcopyrite, increased pyrite.
  • HW‑25‑010: 0–196.5 m potassic alteration with chalcopyrite ± bornite; 268–521 m variable potassic alteration; 521–797 m flanking porphyry‑type alteration.
• Upper Hank – Drilling
• Hole HW‑25‑006 drilled to 842 m (after loss of HW‑25‑005 at 281 m).
• Observed vertically zoned system: upper chalcedonic silica‑pyrite → deeper biotite‑quartz‑pyrite.
• Pyrite‑rich breccia units contain trace base‑metal sulphides (molybdenite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, galena).
• Results suggest the chargeability anomaly may host both porphyry and precious‑metal mineralization; final assays pending.
• Lower Hank – Drilling
• Hole HW‑25‑011 underway (redrill of HW‑25‑007 lost at 192 m).
• Target: steep quartz‑sericite‑pyrite‑carbonate structure (>5 % pyrite) at ~200 m depth; projected Au‑Ag mineralization 200–250 m; deeper chargeability anomaly >25 mV/V to test for porphyry body.
• Regional Geophysical & Mapping Programs
• Airborne MMT survey completed over 319 km².
• IP survey completed (30.7 km line‑kilometres).
• LiDAR survey covering 256 km² of the Hank‑Williams‑Mary area.
• Surface mapping led by Dr. Stephanie Sykora and Dr. Roy Greig, totaling 84 person‑days.
• Qualified Person – Dustin Perry, P.Geo., CEO, qualified under NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“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 sulphide‑bearing hydrothermal system, confirming our hypothesis that the multikilometre scale hydrothermal system at Hank extends significantly at depth.” – Dustin Perry, CEO

Materiality Assessment: Material – Positive (the release provides substantive drilling and geophysical results that materially advance the understanding of a large copper‑gold project).
