KING ANNOUNCES MOBILIZATION FOR MAIDEN DRILL PROGRAM AT ITS IRON HORSE PROPERTY
King Global Ventures Inc. has mobilized for a maiden, seven-hole, 14,230-foot diamond drilling program at its Iron Horse (VMS) property located in the Black Canyon district of Yavapai county, Arizona. King has contracted Drilcor from Coeur d'Alene Idaho to complete the program.
The Iron Horse drill program will target high-priority, first-pass exploration targets within a geological environment considered prospective for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization in a well-established proterozoic metallogenic belt in Yavapai county, Arizona. This region hosts numerous past-producing and historically significant VMS deposits associated with bimodal volcanic sequences and iron formations, and is widely recognized for its potential to host copper-zinc and precious metal sulphide systems. The Iron Horse target exhibits geological and geophysical characteristics interpreted to be consistent with known VMS environments.
Targets at Iron Horse have been identified through a combination of geological mapping and modern geophysical surveys. These surveys have outlined areas where magnetic, electromagnetic (EM) and gravity anomalies occur together. This coincidence may indicate the presence of dense, conductive sulphide mineralization and the potential for copper-gold VMS systems. The anomalies are interpreted to be located within, or adjacent to, sulphide-bearing iron formations and associated volcanic rocks, which are considered favourable host environments for VMS mineralization.
The planned drill program will comprise approximately 14,230 feet (about 4,300 metres) of drilling and will test seven high-priority geophysical targets. None of these targets have been previously drill tested, making this a true first-pass exploration program. The primary objective is to determine whether the geophysical anomalies are caused by sulphide mineralization and to improve understanding of the underlying geology.
CEO Quote
Robert Dzisiak, chief executive officer of King Global, stated: "We are very excited to commence our maiden diamond drilling program on the Iron Horse property. King has spent a significant amount of time and money ground truthing the VMS potential of the Iron Horse property and this next phase on our exploration program is expected to validate our geological model."
Qualified person statement (National Instrument 43-101)
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Andrew Lee Smith, PGeo, ICDD, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 -- Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Mr. Smith is an independent consultant to King Global Ventures and is independent of the company for the purposes of NI 43-101.
In verifying the scientific and technical information contained in this release, the qualified person, conducted a comprehensive review of all available analytical data, geological logs, drill core photographs and supporting documentation generated during the 2025 Silver Cord drill program. This verification work included confirmation of the sampling procedures used in the field, an assessment of chain-of-custody protocols and evaluation of the security measures implemented to ensure sample integrity from the drill site to the laboratory.
As part of his review, the qualified person examined King Global's QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) program, including the insertion of certified reference standards, blanks and duplicate samples into the analytical stream. He also verified that no material QA/QC issues were identified that would affect the reliability of the assay results. In addition, the qualified person reviewed original assay certificates issued by
ALS Geochemistry, an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards and confirmed that the analytical methods applied -- including multielement ICP-MS, ICP-AES and appropriate overlimit reanalysis -- are suitable for the style of mineralization encountered at Silver Cord.
The qualified person further confirmed that the geological interpretations presented in this release -- including references to structural controls, alteration patterns (AI/CCPI), metal zonation and evidence for multiple phases of hydrothermal mineralization -- are consistent with the observed drill core, surface mapping, geochemical signatures and assay data. These interpretations are presented as conceptual geological models based on current drilling and are supported by the data available at this stage of exploration
About King Global Ventures Inc.
Black Canyon property in Arizona
King Global Ventures is focused on the exploration of precious and base metals in North America. The Black Canyon project in Yavapai county, Arizona, comprises 213 contiguous concessions covering a total area of 4,000 acres encompassing 15 former operating mines including the past-producing Howard copper mine. The Black Canyon project is situated 100 kilometres (62 miles) north of Phoenix, Ariz., and represents an early stage exploration opportunity targeting copper-gold-silver-zinc, volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization. The geology of Yavapai county, Arizona, is notable due to the presence of a variety of base and precious metal deposit types. The region has a significant history of exploration, discovery and mining operations, including base metals from mining operations like Bagdad, Jerome and Cleopatra. The property is on trend and is approximately 13 kilometres (8 miles) northwest of Arizona Metals Corp. (TSX: AMC).
The Howard copper mine property is located on 78 acres of patented land. Discovered in the early 1920s, small-scale production and development focused on high-grade copper.
Historical reports state that the main shaft was sunk to the 900-foot level, but that no ore was mined below the 500-foot level.
The Mikwam property
The Mikwam gold property is located in Noseworthy township within the Abitibi greenstone belt of the Superior province, Northeastern Ontario. It lies along the Casa Berardi deformation zone that hosts Detour Gold's Burntbush property. The Mikwam deposit is hosted within Timiskaming-aged polymictic conglomerate and greywacke units and contains disseminated and vein-hosted gold mineralization associated with quartz-carbonate veins and pyrite mineralization.
A NI 43-101 technical report prepared for Galena International Resources Ltd. by Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc., dated Dec. 8, 2016, disclosed a historical inferred mineral resource of 1.81 million tonnes grading 2.34 g/t gold, containing 136,000 ounces of gold at a cut-off grade of 1.00 g/t Au.
This estimate (announced by Galena in a Dec. 12, 2016, press release) is historical in nature, was not prepared for King Global Ventures, and should not be considered current. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
