KINGFISHER METALS CONFIRMS EARLY JURASSIC PORPHYRY MINERALIZATION ACROSS HANK-MARY DISTRICT, A FERTILE WINDOW BETWEEN MITCHELL CU-AU AND BRUCEJACK AU-AG DEPOSITS

Kingfisher Metals Corp. has released new U-Pb (uranium-lead) zircon and Re-Os (rhenium-osmium) molybdenum geochronology results from the Hank-Mary district on its 933-square-kilometre HWY 37 project, Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The initial results demonstrate that magmatic-hydrothermal activity across the Hank-Mary district is part of highly fertile and gold-rich mineralizing time in the region. These dates overlap with established ages for the Mitchell porphyry deposit at the nearby KSM project, the largest undeveloped Cu-Au porphyry deposit in Canada and is close to the age of the Brucejack epithermal Au-Ag (gold-silver) deposit (Table 1).

Key highlights:

• Similar age as Mitchell Cu-Au (copper-gold) porphyry deposit: porphyry mineralization at Hank, Williams and Mary (approximately 190 to 186 Ma (million years ago)) overlaps with the Mitchell deposit (approximately 196 to 189 Ma);
• Similar timing to Brucejack Au-Ag epithermal deposit: epithermal gold mineralization at Hank (approximately 188 to 184 Ma) ties closely with the Brucejack deposit (approximately 184 to 183 Ma);
• One large system: ages from Hank, Mary and Williams all fall within the same range, suggesting a single, large mineralizing system that defines the district;
• Geological age as a fertility indicator: these ages match the Early Jurassic Texas Creek intrusive suite of rocks, known for hosting major porphyry deposits in the Golden Triangle.

Dustin Perry, chief executive officer and president of Kingfisher, states: "These initial geochronology results validate our exploration model and confirm our belief that the Hank-Mary district represents a large, fertile porphyry system. The confirmation that mineralization across Hank, Mary and Williams falls within the same Early Jurassic window as the Mitchell and Brucejack deposits highlights strong parallels to two of the most significant gold-rich systems in Canada."

Geochronology results

Two complementary dating methods applied across the Hank district from three studies:

U-Pb zircon geochronology constrains the crystallization age of host intrusions, the timing of magma emplacement and is performed on zircon mineral separates from intrusive rock samples.

Re-Os molybdenite geochronology directly dates ore-forming hydrothermal events by measuring the radioactive decay of rhenium to osmium in molybdenite (MoS2), a common porphyry mineral. Molybdenite often precipitates from later-stage hydrothermal fluids during mineralization, Re-Os ages are interpreted to reflect the youngest ages of porphyry mineralization. The results in Table 1 present new data from the British Columbia Geological Survey research by Roddy Campbell presented at Rock Talk 2026, new data from Kingfisher Metals and includes one previous result from the Williams deposit.

Interpretation: district and timing relative to the Mitchell and Brucejack deposits

District scale

The similar-age results across Hank, Mary and Williams (approximately 190 to 186 Ma) are consistent with a district-scale magmatic centre capable of generating multiple porphyry deposits, analogous to the multiphase, multicentre architecture of the world's largest porphyry districts.

Mitchell

The Mitchell deposit (KSM project) has an interpreted span of mineralization approximately 192 to 190 Ma with youngest magmatism ending around 189 Ma. Early results from the Hank district indicate porphyry mineralization is between 190 and 186 Ma, with overlap in age with the Mitchell porphyry. Mitchell is the closest in age porphyry system in the region, located approximately 75 kilometres from Hank, and is Canada's largest undeveloped Cu-Au deposit. This time window is considered highly prospective.

Brucejack

Epithermal gold at Hank emplaced after approximately 188 and before 184 Ma. This timing ties closely with the nearby Brucejack deposit, where epithermal Au veins are formed between 184 to 183 Ma. Brucejack is the only known system in the region with this timing, making it a strong analogue for Hank. However, more work is needed to better define the exact age of gold mineralization at Hank.

Background: geological age and porphyry fertility

New and recently published geochronology places the Hank district in one of the most fertile periods in B.C., between Mitchell porphyry (KSM) and Brucejack epithermal Au-Ag deposits. Within these prospective time windows in the region, multiple deposits can be mineralized simultaneously across a large district that is fed by a common district-scale magmatic hydrothermal system.

Geological age is a powerful predictor of porphyry copper-gold and epithermal Au-Ag fertility. In the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia, some of the most significant Cu-Au porphyry deposits and epithermal Au-Ag deposits which include the world-class KSM system and nearby Brucejack deposit are genetically linked to Early Jurassic (approximately 196 to 185 Ma) Texas Creek magmatism.
