Original News Release

King Global drills 2.7 m of 619 g/t Ag at Silver Cord

Mr. Robert Dzisiak reports KING GLOBAL DRILLING ENCOUNTERS HIGH-GRADE POLYMETALLIC VEINS OF SILVER, GOLD, LEAD, ZINC AND ANTIMONY King Global Ventures Inc. has released 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 sulphide (VMS)related mineralization. Drilling successfully intersected multiple polymetallic intervals and confirmed the presence of a polyphase Ag-Pb-Zn-Sb (silver-lead-zinc-antimony) 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-foot 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 ounces/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 per cent 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. Significant drill hole intervals All analytical results issued and certified by ALS Geochemistry, an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. All assay values are uncut and interval measurements are reported as core length. 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 sulphosalt assemblages-is consistent with multiphase 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; Dube & 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-sulphosalt 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, chief executive officer 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. Qualified person statement (National Instrument 43-101) The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Andrew Lee Smith, PGeo, ICDD, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Mr. Smith is an independent consultant to King Global Ventures and is independent of the company for the purposes of NI 43-101. In verifying the scientific and technical information contained in this release, the qualified person, conducted a comprehensive review of all available analytical data, geological logs, drill core photographs and supporting documentation generated during the 2025 Silver Cord drill program.

As part of his review, the qualified person examined King Global's QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) program, including the insertion of certified reference standards, blanks and duplicate samples into the analytical stream. He also verified that no material QA/QC issues were identified that would affect the reliability of the assay results. In addition, the qualified person reviewed original assay certificates issued by ALS Geochemistry, an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards and confirmed that the analytical methods applied -- including multielement ICP-MS, ICP-AES and appropriate overlimit reanalysis -- are suitable for the style of mineralization encountered at Silver Cord. The qualified person further confirmed that the geological interpretations presented in this release -- including references to structural controls, alteration patterns (AI/CCPI), metal zonation and evidence for multiple phases of hydrothermal mineralization -- are consistent with the observed drill core, surface mapping, geochemical signatures and assay data. These interpretations are presented as conceptual geological models based on current drilling and are supported by the data available at this stage of exploration. About King Global Ventures Inc. Black Canyon property in Arizona King Global Ventures is focused on the exploration of precious and base metals in North America. The Black Canyon project in Yavapai county, Arizona, comprises 213 contiguous concessions covering a total area of 4,000 acres encompassing 15 former operating mines including the past-producing Howard copper mine. The Black Canyon project is situated 100 kilometres (62 miles) north of Phoenix, Ariz., and represents an early stage exploration opportunity targeting copper-gold-silver-zinc, volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization. The geology of Yavapai county, Arizona, is notable due to the presence of a variety of base and precious metal deposit types. The region has a significant history of exploration, discovery and mining operations, including base metals from mining operations like Bagdad, Jerome and Cleopatra. The property is on trend and is approximately 13 kilometres (eight miles) northwest of Arizona Metals Corp. The Howard copper mine property is located on 78 acres of patented land. Discovered in the early 1920s, small-scale production and development focused on high-grade copper. Historical reports state that the main shaft was sunk to the 900-foot level, but that no ore was mined below the 500-foot level. The Mikwam property The Mikwam gold property is located in Noseworthy township within the Abitibi greenstone belt of the Superior province, Northeastern Ontario. It lies along the Casa Berardi deformation zone that hosts Detour Gold's Burntbush property. The Mikwam deposit is hosted within Timiskaming-aged polymictic conglomerate and greywacke units and contains disseminated and vein-hosted gold mineralization associated with quartz-carbonate veins and pyrite mineralization. A National Instrument 43-101 technical report prepared for Galena International Resources Ltd. by Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc., dated Dec. 8, 2016, disclosed a historical inferred mineral resource of 1.81 million tonnes grading 2.34 grams per tonne gold, containing 136,000 ounces of gold at a cut-off grade of 1.00 g/t Au. This estimate (announced by Galena in a Dec. 12, 2016, press release) is historical in nature, was not prepared for King Global Ventures, and should not be considered current. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
