Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 9, 2026) - Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: KLDCF) (FSE: 3WQ0) ("Kenorland" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of the maiden diamond drill program at the Western Wabigoon Project (the "Project"), located in northwestern Ontario and held under an option agreement with a subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. ("Centerra").
2026 Summer Drilling Program
The maiden diamond drill program at Western Wabigoon comprised 4,089 metres across nine drill holes testing the W2 target area. The program was designed to test a coherent, 3-kilometre-long gold-in-till and heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) gold grain anomaly. This anomaly encompasses numerous multi-gram-per-tonne gold (Au) showings identified through historical trenching and shallow drilling within the area historically referred to as the Sorry Mac Trend.
Drilling confirmed the presence of north-northeast- and northeast-trending shear zones, interpreted to intersect along the W2 target area. Multiple alteration and sulphide mineralisation assemblages were logged along the entire tested strike length of the W2 target, remaining open towards the north and southwest. Localised visible gold (VG) was also observed in drill hole 26DFDD005 to the southwest, further suggesting the potential to extend the mineralising system towards the southwest.

Dominant lithologies intersected during the program consist of interbedded mafic volcanic flows (massive and pillowed) with mafic to intermediate tuffs and volcaniclastic rocks, crosscut by later magnetite-bearing gabbroic and ultramafic intrusions. In the northern portion of the drill area, felsic volcanic flows were intersected, along with a 173-metre-thick sericitized granodiorite intrusion in drill hole 26DFDD004.
Styles of mineralisation intersected in drilling include:
VG-bearing smoky quartz vein associated with pyrite-pyrrhotite (trace to 3%) and chlorite-calcite alteration within gabbro, observed in drill hole 26DFDD005.
Shear-hosted arsenopyrite-pyrite (trace to 10%) associated with strong sericite-silica-fuchsite-Fe-carbonate alteration was intersected in multiple drill holes (26DFDD002, 26DFDD006, 26DFDD007, and 26DFDD008).
Semi-massive to massive pyrrhotite-pyrite ± chalcopyrite ± sphalerite hosted within mafic volcanic flows was intersected predominantly in the southwestern portion of the drill area (26DFDD003 and 26DFDD005).
Intrusion-hosted disseminated arsenopyrite-pyrite (trace to 1%) was intersected within a previously unmapped sericitized granodiorite intrusion in the northeastern portion of the drilled area, including 26DFDD001 (26 m thick), 26DFDD004 (173 m thick), and 26DFDD009 (122 m thick).
