KODIAK EXPANDS LANDHOLDINGS AT MOHAVE COPPER PORPHYRY PROJECT IN ARIZONA

Kodiak Copper Corp. has staked 82 claims adjacent to its 100-per-cent-owned Mohave copper-molybdenum-silver porphyry exploration project to increase the property to 210 claims (16.8 square kilometres). Like Kodiak's flagship MPD project in Southern British Columbia, Mohave is located in a mineral-producing region with excellent infrastructure, close to Freeport McMoran's Bagdad copper mine in the Basin and Range province in Mohave county, Arizona, United States.

Project highlights

• Exploration and limited drilling by previous operators indicate that there is a large system of porphyry style Cu-Mo-Ag mineralization present at Mohave.
• Examples of reported historic drill results include 0.49 per cent Cu over 59.4 metres, 0.3 per cent Cu, over 70.7 m and 0.35 per cent Cu over 41.2 m.
• Multiple circular Cu-Mo-Ag soil/rock geochemical and geophysical anomalies are not fully tested by drilling.
• The new claims staked to the west of the original property cover an induced polarization (IP) anomaly and prospective radiometric and magnetic features. The large, 2.5-kilometre-by-2.5-kilometre IP anomaly coincides with extensive rock and soil mineralization. Magnetic high features extending to the northwest and southwest of the original claim block are associated with radiometric anomalies.

Claudia Tornquist, president and chief executive officer of Kodiak, said: "Mohave is a promising and underexplored project with the potential to host a large-scale copper porphyry system, located in a region with producing mines and excellent infrastructure. With strong market appetite for U.S. critical minerals projects, the timing is right to crystallize the value of this non-core asset. Staking this additional ground is an important step to unlock Mohave's potential to the benefit of Kodiak's shareholders."

About Kodiak Copper Corp.

Kodiak is focused on advancing its copper porphyry projects in Canada and the United States, which host known mineral discoveries with the potential to hold large-scale deposits. Kodiak Copper's most advanced asset is the 100-per-cent-owned MPD copper-gold porphyry project in the prolific Quesnel Terrane in south-central British Columbia, Canada, an established mining region with producing mines and excellent infrastructure. MPD exhibits all the hallmarks of a large, multicentred porphyry district with the potential for future economic development. The initial mineral resource estimate published in 2025 outlines seven substantial deposits and underscores the scale and potential of the project. All known deposits remain open to expansion, and numerous targets across the property have yet to be tested. Kodiak continues to systematically explore MPD's district-scale potential with the goal of delivering new discoveries and building further critical mass toward being the region's next mine.

Kodiak's founder and chairman is Chris Taylor who is well-known for his gold discovery success with Great Bear Resources. Kodiak is also part of Discovery Group led by John Robins, one of the most successful mining entrepreneurs in Canada.
