(the “Company” or\n“Kirkstone”) (TSXV: KSM, FWB:VO0); announces commencement of the\npermitting process for its upcoming, multiphase exploration program\nwithin the Company’sGorilla Lake project area.\n\n\nThe proposed exploration program is designed to\nsystematically advance the project through a combination of airborne\nand ground-based exploration techniques, followed by targeted\ndrilling. The first phase of the multiphase program calls for a\ncomprehensive time domain electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic airborne\nsurvey aimed at confirming historic structural interpretations and\nidentifying subsurface conductive targets. The second phase consists\nof ground-based follow-up, including detailed prospecting and robust\nground geophysical surveys to further refine priority targets. In the\nthird phase, the Company intends to permit up to 7,000 metres of\ndiamond drilling on qualified targets identified through earlier\nphases of work.\n\n\nAs part of the permitting process, Kirkstone will\nengage with Indigenous stakeholders within the project area to ensure\nopen communication, early dialogue, and the incorporation of local\nknowledge into the planning and execution of the exploration\nprogram.\n\n\n“Our\napproach is to advance the project in a thoughtful, phased manner that\nbalances technical rigor with responsible exploration practices,”\nsaid Clive Massey, President of Kirkstone Metals. “Initiating the\npermitting process is an important step forward, and it allows us to\nwork collaboratively with regulators, Indigenous communities, and\nother stakeholders as we plan our next stages of exploration.” He\nfurther commented, “With uranium trading recently over $98.00\nthis is a very exciting time”\n\n\nKirkstone is committed to maintaining high\nenvironmental standards throughout all stages of exploration. The\nCompany will work closely with local Nations, land users, and\nregulatory authorities to minimize environmental impact and to ensure\nthat exploration activities are conducted in a safe, respectful, and\nresponsible manner.
