K2 Generates High-Grade Silver, Gold, and Copper Results from Rock Samples at Morningstar Target
K2 reports high-grade polymetallic rock samples from its Mojave exploration pipeline, advancing the project’s development.
K2 Gold Corporation announced results from 613 rock samples collected during its 2026 surface exploration program at the Morningstar Target, part of its Mojave Project in Inyo County, California. The sampling identified widespread polymetallic mineralization across the H Zone, B Zone, Ignacio, and newly identified R-Zone targets.
Key assay highlights include: - Ignacio Target: 2,737 g/t Ag, 4.37 g/t Au, 2.42% Cu - R-Zone Target: 618 g/t Ag, 23.2% Cu - H-Zone Target: 38 g/t Ag, 5.84 g/t Au, 1.32% Cu - B-Zone Target: 74 g/t Ag, 4.93 g/t Au, 0.62% Cu
The release provides historical drilling context from previous operators, outlining a geological model of gold-copper skarn-like panels along thrust contacts. QA/QC protocols were followed with MSA and ALS Laboratories, using fire assay fusion and ICP-MS methods. Next steps involve integrating datasets to determine structural controls and assess continuity between targets for future drill testing.
K2 Gold Corporation (KTO) has released results that represent a logical and expected continuation of its fully funded 14,000-meter exploration campaign at the Mojave Project. These findings follow the high-grade oxide gold intercepts announced at the Dragonfly Zone on August 18, 2026, which returned 39.62m @ 5.35 g/t Au. The Morningstar rock sampling results validate the polymetallic nature of the broader district.
High-grade silver, gold, and copper values were identified at the Ignacio and R-Zone; however, these are surface grab samples. They do not yet represent drill-intercepted widths or tonnage, meaning they are preliminary indicators rather than resource-defining results.
The news aligns with previous expectations set by the January 2026 budget approval and the June 2026 drilling commencement updates. It demonstrates operational execution and systematic target evaluation across the >6.5km Eastside Gold Trend and the Morningstar trend.
K2 Gold Corporation is a pre-revenue exploration company focused on gold and polymetallic projects in the Western United States and Canada. Its flagship asset is the Mojave Project in Inyo County, California, a 100%-owned land package spanning approximately 5,830 hectares. The property hosts multiple high-grade oxide gold targets, including Dragonfly, Newmont, and Central, as well as polymetallic copper-silver zones at Stega and Morningstar.
The project recently received a positive Record of Decision (ROD) from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, fully permitting a 20,000-meter exploration drill program. K2 also holds secondary projects, including the Si2 Gold Project in Nevada, which features a low-sulphidation epithermal system, and the Wels Project in Yukon, characterized by structurally controlled gold. The company has also newly staked the Wolf Project in Yukon, targeting a district-scale gold trend.
The management team is led by Executive Chairman John Robins and President & CEO Anthony Margarit, who bring a track record in major gold discoveries and transactions.
