King Global Ventures Mobilizes Drilling for Phase 2 Drill Program South of the Historic Howard Copper Mine

Executive Summary

• King Global Ventures announces the start of its Phase II diamond drilling program at the Howard Copper Project in Arizona, targeting three newly identified gravity anomalies.
• The program will drill approximately 7,000–9,000 ft across nine holes, contracted to Boart Longyear Ltd., to test for undiscovered VMS‑type mineralization south of historic mine workings.
• Phase I results confirmed stacked copper‑only and copper‑gold‑zinc‑silver horizons, suggesting significant upside potential at depth and along strike.

Key Details

• Program Scope: 7,000–9,000 ft of diamond drilling; nine planned drill holes.
• Contractor: Boart Longyear Ltd. will execute the drilling operations.
• Target Anomalies: Three large, discrete gravity anomalies identified by ALS Geoanalytics (Q3 2025) that trend NNW‑SSE parallel to regional stratigraphy, located within untested volcanic‑sedimentary units south of Phase I drill fence.
• Phase I Highlights:
• Intercepts in southernmost holes beyond historic mine workings.
• Two distinct VMS mineralized horizons identified:
  • Copper‑only remobilized zone (structurally focused, distal VMS source).
  • Copper‑gold‑zinc‑silver–rich vent‑proximal horizon (synvolcanic feeder system).
• Exploration Work Completed Prior to Phase II:
• Extended ground gravity survey improving resolution over southern target area.
• Ground electromagnetic (EM) survey targeting sulphide conductors coincident with gravity anomalies.
• Detailed geological mapping (report pending) providing lithological and structural controls.
• Systematic soil geochemistry program to detect surface expressions of concealed mineralization along VMS trends.
• CEO Comment: Robert Dzisiak stated the company is “quite pleased to drill test the three large, untested gravity anomalies south of the Howard mine with the potential to expand the known mineralization.”
• Technical Approval: Technical contents approved by Andrew Lee Smith, BSc., P.Geo, ICD.D (Qualified Person under NI 43‑101).
