Kingsview Discovers New Native Copper Occurrence at Vernon Property

Executive Summary

• Kingsview Minerals reported preliminary results from a 19-day 2026 prospecting and geological mapping program at its Vernon Property in southern New Brunswick.
• The program resulted in the discovery of a previously undocumented native copper occurrence and identified multiple zones of hydrothermal quartz veining and alteration, validating a district-scale Appalachian hydrothermal copper-gold exploration model.
• Follow-up activities will focus on detailed mapping, systematic sampling, structural analysis, and evaluation of historical geochemical/geophysical anomalies to advance high-priority targets toward drill testing.

Key Details

• Property & Location: Vernon Property, Caledonia Highlands, southern New Brunswick, encompassing a large package of prospective volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Broad River Group and regional-scale structural corridors.
• Program Scope: 19-day 2026 prospecting and geological mapping program conducted in collaboration with Axis Geoscience Ltd. (providing geological support, field mapping, prospecting, data compilation, and technical interpretation).
• Key Discovery: Previously undocumented native copper occurrence located outside historically known mineralized areas; mineralization consists of native copper, chalcocite, and malachite within structurally controlled veins hosted by metamorphosed sedimentary rocks.
• Geological Interpretation: Multiple zones of hydrothermal quartz veining and alteration identified as significant fluid pathways; mineralization interpreted to be controlled by regional fault and shear corridors associated with strong silicification, quartz-carbonate veining, sericite alteration, brecciation, and sulphide mineralization.
• Historical Context: Property contains numerous historical copper-bearing occurrences (Vernon Mine, Peacock Vein, Rose Brook, Goose River, Martin Head, Jim Brook, etc.) suggesting a large hydrothermal system rather than isolated occurrences; limited modern exploration has been conducted despite favorable geological and structural characteristics.
• Exploration Strategy & Next Steps: Detailed geological mapping of new occurrences and quartz-fluid corridors; systematic rock and channel sampling of outcrops/historical showings; structural analysis to define principal fault/shear corridors; follow-up prospecting along favorable geological contacts and interpreted structural trends; compilation and integration of historical geochemical, geophysical, and drilling data into a unified exploration model; evaluation of historical copper-in-soil and IP anomalies (specifically Peacock Vein and Rose Brook) to identify high-priority drill targets.
• Technical Methods & QC: Portable XRF screening conducted using an Olympus Vanta™ M Series analyzer operated by a Professional Geoscientist; automatic energy calibration and daily diagnostic checks performed; periodic repeat analyses conducted to monitor instrument stability; results are semi-quantitative for geological characterization and exploration targeting only, requiring accredited laboratory confirmation for significant results.
• Qualified Person: Technical and scientific information reviewed and approved by Mark Richardson, P.Geo., in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.
• Cautionary Note: Discovery represents an early-stage exploration target; surface mineralization presence is not necessarily indicative of economically recoverable mineralization, and further exploration is required to determine extent, continuity, grade, and economic significance.
