About this update from Kingfisher Metals Corp

HWY 37 & Forrest Kerr Projects | Golden Triangle, British Columbia Including 15,000 m Diamond Drilling Program in the Hank-Mary District VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR) (FSE:970) (OTCQB:KGFMF) ("Kingfisher" or the "Company") is pleased to outline the scope of its fully funded 2026 exploration program at the HWY-37 and Forrest Kerr projects, located in the highly prospective Golden Triangle of British Columbia. This exploration program is designed to advance the newly discovered Hank porphyry Cu-Au system while systematically expanding and de-risking the Company's broader regional target pipeline. The HWY-37 and Forrest Kerr projects comprise approximately 933 km² and 202 km², respectively. Field crews are expected to mobilize in late May, with field activities commencing in mid-June and continuing through the fall season. 2026 Exploration Program Highlights The 2026 program is structured around four exploration strategies to maximize exposure to discovery and early resource definition: Diamond Drilling - 15,000 Metres (Three-Pronged Approach) The 2026 drilling program will be supported by three diamond drills, targeting three spatially distinct regions at the Hank-Mary District: Hank Porphyry Cu-Au Discovery - Expansion and Delineation The Hank porphyry Cu-Au discovery represents a well-defined, large-scale copper-gold target supported by multiple converging lines of geological and geophysical evidence: Discovery hole HW-25-011: 425 m at 0.15% Cu, 0.21 g/t Au and 2.2 g/t Ag (0.40% CuEq)¹,² is a broad and high-quality intercept affirming system scale despite intersecting flanking alteration. Kilometre-scale geophysical anomalies: IP geophysics, magnetics, and magnetotellurics (MMT) anomalies all converging on the same broad target³. Compelling emplacement timing: Porphyry mineralization at Hank, Williams & Mary (~190-186 Ma) overlaps in time with the nearby Mitchell deposit (~196-189 Ma)⁴ the largest undeveloped Cu-Au deposit in Canada. Hank Au Targets - Bulk Tonnage & Structural High-Grade Bulk Tonnage Au Targets At-surface bulk-tonnage gold targets proximal to the Hank Porphyry Target offer significant opportunities for expansion with untested wide-spaced gaps (up to 500 m) between historical drill holes despite evidence of strong gold endowment in historical drilling.
