American Marconi Wireless News - Multiple Geophysical Datasets Support Increased Target Dimensions at Hank Copper-Gold Discovery, HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle

Key Highlights:

• The magnetic vector inversion (MVI) model outlines a large alteration footprint, interpreted as magnetite destruction and remanent magnetization, consistent with surface and drill core observations.

• Expanded IP-resistivity surveys reveal a >2 km wide anomaly coinciding with the interpreted potassic altered core.

• MMT and DC-resistivity results highlight a significant low resistivity anomaly (below 50 ohmŸm) over an area of approximately 3.5 by 4.4 km, interpreted as hydrothermal clay alteration related to the Hank system.

• Petrographic analysis of thin sections from hole HW-25-011 show that hydrothermal alteration has destroyed magnetite and reveals high fertility indicators, including bornite and tennantite.

Dustin Perry, CEO and President of Kingfisher, states, "Over the past three years we have systematically explored the Hank area with multiple geophysical, geological, geochemical, and spectral surveys. These updated datasets provide even more confidence going into the 2026 field program where we seek to aggressively expand upon the newest Cu-Au porphyry discovery in BC's Golden Triangle."

Summary & Discussion

In 2025, Expert Geophysics Ltd. conducted an 1825.0 line-km MMT survey, with data provided to Moombarriga Geoscience for 3D inversion. Peter E. Walcott & Associates Ltd. completed 22.3 line-km of IP-resistivity surveying. The resulting IP-resistivity data, combined with historical and 2024 data, produced a unified 3D inversion model of resistivity and chargeability for much of the Hank-Williams target area. Hardrock Geophysics Inc. compiled, leveled, and merged all historical airborne magnetic datasets within the HWY 37 tenure, which were then used for 3D magnetic susceptibility and magnetic vector (MVI) inversions.

Integrating geophysical products with diamond drilling, surface geochemistry, geological mapping, and petrography enables new targeting insights. By combining and interpreting these datasets within a porphyry-epithermal framework, a cohesive core porphyry target area has been identified. This integration has led to several significant observations:

• A large area of possible porphyry-related magnetite destruction is inferred from magnetic data and surface geology.

  • RTP magnetics show a broad, moderate magnetic response in the Hank area (Figure 1). This zone also appears in other magnetic inversion products and aligns with mapped surface alteration.

  • Other datasets confirm a large volume of altered rock marked by magnetite loss and potential remanent magnetization. Cross sections (Figures 2-4) show the extent of the alteration, with high chargeability highlighting a core target. Drillhole HW-25-011 confirmed significant mineralization matching magnetic, chargeability, and resistivity anomalies.

  • Abundant pyrite and sericite at surface and in HW-25-011 support magnetite destruction, including high pyrite-to-chalcopyrite ratios. These features match flanking phyllic alteration.

  • Petrographic and drill core analysis further confirm magnetite destructive sericite-quartz-pyrite alteration assemblages in HW-25-011 (Figure 5).

• Figures 2-4 show that resistivity sections from the MMT and DC-resistivity surveys outline a broad, low-angle blanket of low-resistivity (conductive) rock. This blanket lies above and to the side of the core target area, which is defined by coincident chargeability and magnetic anomalies.

  • This low-resistivity (conductive) anomaly, clearly mapped in the sections, is interpreted as an area of widespread clay alteration associated with the porphyry-epithermal mineral system.

  • A pronounced, mushroom-shaped conductivity zone marks a fluid pathway in the porphyry-epithermal system.

• Volumes of moderate resistivity lie beneath the low resistivity anomaly in the DC-resistivity sections (Figures 2-4). These areas are near or overlap the chargeability anomalies. They may be intrusive porphyry stocks that are more resistant than the surrounding clay-altered wall rock.

Hank Porphyry Petrographic Study

Petrographic analysis of the Hank porphyry confirmed complex mineralogy near syn-mineral intrusions and widespread magnetite-destructive alteration (Figure 5). Narrow, syn-mineral intrusions host bornite and tennantite along with chalcopyrite, indicating a fertile system. Electrum is also identified as 5-10 micron-sized grains near these intrusions, closely associated with copper minerals including bornite, chalcopyrite and tennantite.

Investor Relations Engagements

The Company entered into an investor relations consulting agreement with Adelaide Capital Markets Inc. ("Adelaide") dated March 1, 2026, for various investor relations services at an aggregate cost of C$8,000 per month, payable monthly, subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

The agreement has an initial term commencing March 1, 2026, and ending April 30, 2027, and will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis thereafter unless terminated in accordance with its terms. Adelaide is an arm's length consultant and was previously granted 35,000 stock options that have fully vested. To the knowledge of the Company, both Adelaide and Deborah Honig, President of Adelaide, own shares of Kingfisher. Neither the Company nor any of its directors, officers or employees have any interest, directly or indirectly, in Adelaide, or their securities, or any right or intent to acquire such an interest. Adelaide manages a marketing team headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, and has been successfully providing services for a broad range of companies listed on the TSXV.

Stock Option Grant

The Company announces the grant of 4,375,000 stock options to certain directors, officers, employees, and consultants pursuant to the Company's stock option plan. This includes 75,000 stock options granted to Adelaide. The stock options are exercisable for a period of five (5) years at an exercise price of C$0.66 per share and will vest over a period of twenty-four (24) months. The stock options were granted as part of Kingfisher's ongoing efforts to attract and retain key personnel and provide long-term performance incentives.
