[{"type":"text","content":"5.7% Cu, 5.3% Zn, 1.6 g/t Au and 28.2 g/t Ag from Winnie Lake Grab Sample - KLDC Provides Exploration Update and Announces New Drill PermitsToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 9, 2025) - Kirkland Lake Discoveries (TSXV: KLDC) (\"KLDC\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has received drill permits for its recently acquired Winnie Lake project, located in the western portion of its Kirkland Lake land package in Ontario's Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The Company also provides an update on exploration work completed in May and June, which has resulted in new mineral discoveries and meaningful advancements in geological understanding.The KLDC field team has completed detailed prospecting, mapping, access planning, outcrop stripping, and channel sampling in preparation for the Company's inaugural drill campaign at the Winnie intrusive. The focus is to test the potential for a copper-gold bearing intrusion-related system at the Winnie Lake showing and to evaluate newly identified geophysical and geochemical targets.Exploration HighlightsHigh-Grade Polymetallic Grab Sample at Winnie ShowingA grab sample collected near the historical Winnie shaft (Figure 1) returned:1.60 g/t gold (Au), 28.20 g/t silver (Ag), 5.70% copper (Cu), 5.30% zinc (Zn), 1.65 g/t tellurium (Te)The sample was taken from massive sulphide mineralization strongly associated with massive magnetite. This confirms the presence of high-grade polymetallic mineralization. To further assess the continuity of this magnetic feature under overburden, a high-resolution drone magnetic survey was completed in June.New Discovery West of the Winnie ShaftField prospecting led to the discovery of a newly exposed, intensely quartz-veined intrusive outcrop approximately 150 metres west of the historical shaft. Channel sampling was completed after clearing, with the outcrop displaying:Visible malachite, chalcopyrite, and trace pyriteStrong potassic and hematite alterationThese characteristics are indicative of a magmatic-hydrothermal system, possibly representing an intrusion-related Cu-Au system or early-stage IOCG-style mineralization. The alteration style (potassic enrichment and hematite staining) is commonly associated with large, high-temperature hydrothermal systems sourced from or centered around intrusive bodies.This newly identified zone lies just west of the hi...
