Kodiak Drills High-Grade Mineralization from Surface at the Adit Zone Including 79m of 0.69% CuEq Ending in 27m of 1.62% CuEq

Executive Summary

• Kodiak Copper reports high‑grade, near‑surface copper‑gold‑silver intercepts from nine RC holes (850 m total) in the Adit Zone of its MPD project.
• The most significant intercepts are 0.63% Cu + 0.05 g/t Au + 4.13 g/t Ag over 78.6 m (including a 1.59% Cu interval over 26.8 m) and 0.42% Cu + 0.03 g/t Au + 3.44 g/t Ag over 93 m.
• Results extend the known mineralized envelope to ~550 m strike length, remain open in multiple directions, and will feed a Resource Estimate for Q4 2025.

Key Details

• Drill Program: 9 reverse‑circulation (RC) holes, total depth 850 m, focused on infill/confirmation at the West, Adit and South Zones; results presented for Adit Zone only.
• Key Intersections:
• RC‑AXE‑25‑026: 0.63% Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 4.13 g/t Ag (0.69% CuEq) over 78.6 m from surface; higher‑grade sub‑interval 1.59% Cu, 0.01 g/t Au, 4.29 g/t Ag (1.62% CuEq) over 26.8 m (51.8–78.6 m).
• RC‑AXE‑25‑028: 0.42% Cu, 0.03 g/t Au, 3.44 g/t Ag (0.46% CuEq) over 93 m (7.6–100.6 m).
• Weighted Assay Intervals (selected):
• Hole RC‑AXE‑25‑023: 0.07% Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 1.18 g/t Ag over 15.2 m.
• Hole RC‑AXE‑25‑024: 0.10% Cu, 0.02 g/t Au, 1.14 g/t Ag over 40.5 m.
• Hole RC‑AXE‑25‑025: 0.14% Cu, 0.12 g/t Au, 0.42 g/t Ag over 15.2 m.
• Strike Length & Depth: Mineralization intersected across ~550 m strike; zone open at depth (mineralization encountered to 350 m). Most holes terminated in mineralization.
• Future Work: Final results from the 2025 program expected late Q3; data will support a Resource Estimate for the Adit Zone as part of the MPD Initial MRE slated for Q4 2025.
• QA/QC: Samples processed by Activation Laboratories Ltd.; fire assay, ICP‑OES/MS analyses; QA/QC includes blanks, duplicates, CRMs (1 per 10 samples). Qualified Person: Dave Skelton, P.Geo., VP Exploration.
• Quotes:
• “The Adit Zone continues to deliver excellent grades close to surface… we successfully accomplished the objective of infill and confirming shallow mineralization.” – Claudia Tornquist, President & CEO.
