(TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: KLDCF) (FSE: 3WQ0) (\"Kenorland\" or the \"Company\") and Auranova Resources Inc. (\"Auranova\") are pleased to announce the completion of the 2026 spring drill program at the South Uchi Project (the \"Project\"), located in the Red Lake District of Ontario. 2026 Spring Drill ProgramThe Phase 3 program comprised six diamond drill holes totaling 3,187 metres, following the successful identification of a new gold-bearing structural corridor, discovered during the Phase 2 fall 2025 drill program (see press release dated January 28, 2026). The drill holes were designed as large step-outs towards the west and east at roughly 500 metre spacing, testing strike extensions of the mineralisation concealed beneath deep glacial till and glaciolacustrine cover. Assay results are expected in Q2 2026.Figure 1.

Recently completed drillholes from Phase 3 encountered broad zones of pervasive, moderate to strong silica and sericite alteration, with locally developed albite alteration, indicative of continuity of the hydrothermal alteration system. Associated sulphide content was observed, occurring as both disseminated and stringer-style pyrite. This mineralisation was hosted within quartz- and feldspar-phyric intermediate to felsic intrusive units, as well as intermediate to felsic volcaniclastic rocks and lesser mafic volcanic rocks, notably within 26PADD046 between approximately 123-165m and 214-387m down hole. The volcanic-volcaniclastic rocks have undergone moderate to strong deformation hosting multi-stage, quartz-carbonate-sulphide veining, while the intrusive...
