King Global to begin phase II drilling at Howard

Executive Summary

• King Global Ventures has mobilized a Phase II diamond‑drill program at the Howard copper project (Black Canyon property, AZ) to test three newly identified gravity anomalies south of the historic mine.
• The program will drill ~7,000–9,000 ft across nine holes, contracted to Boart Longyear Ltd., following promising Phase I results that identified two distinct VMS‑type mineralized horizons.
• Prior integrated work (gravity, EM, mapping, soil geochemistry) has refined target locations and supports the potential for undiscovered, laterally continuous sulphide zones at depth and along strike.

Key Details

• Drilling Scope: ~7,000–9,000 ft of diamond drilling; nine planned holes.
• Contractor: Boart Longyear Ltd. will execute all drilling operations.
• Phase I Highlights (referenced):
• Southernmost Phase I holes intersected significant mineralization beyond historic mine workings.
• Two VMS‑type horizons identified in the Spud Mountain Formation:
  • Copper‑only remobilized zone (structurally focused, distal VMS source).
  • Copper‑gold‑zinc‑silver‑rich vent‑proximal horizon (synvolcanic feeder system).
• Phase II Targets: Three large, discrete gravity anomalies modeled by ALS Geoanalytics (Q3 2025), trending NNW‑SSE parallel to regional stratigraphy, located in untested volcanic‑sedimentary units south of Phase I drill fence.
• Exploration Preparatory Work:
• Extended ground gravity survey – improved resolution over southern target area.
• Ground electromagnetic (EM) survey – seeks sulphide conductors coincident with gravity anomalies.
• Detailed geological mapping – lithological and structural control for drill‑collar placement (report pending).
• Systematic soil geochemistry – targets surface expressions of concealed mineralization along VMS trends.
• CEO Quote: “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… we greatly look forward to starting this next phase of drilling at our Black Canyon project.” – Robert Dzisiak, CEO.
• Property Context:
• Black Canyon property: 213 contiguous concessions, ~4,000 acres, includes historic Howard copper mine (78 acres).
• Proximity: ~100 km north of Phoenix; ~13 km NW of Arizona Metals Corp.
• Technical Review: Qualified Person – Andrew Lee Smith, BSc, PGeo, ICDD (NI 43‑101).
