Kodiak Strategically Expands MPD Project
with Acquisition of Adjacent Claims and
Initiates Soil Program
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 20, 2025) - Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK)
(OTCQB: KDKCF) (FSE: 5DD1) (the "Company" or "Kodiak") today announces it has entered into a
purchase agreement with Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. ("Eagle Plains") to acquire a claim package
adjacent to Kodiak's 100% owned MPD Project ("MPD") in Southern British Columbia, expanding the
company's landholdings to 357 square kilometres. The newly acquired claims now form part of the MPD
Northwest project area where a soil program has been initiated to advance multiple targets.
Highlights:
The claims acquired comprise 13.1 square kilometres adjacent to the MPD Northwest area,
including the 12.1 square kilometre
Ketch claim block strategically located immediately north
and along trend of the Ketchan deposit,
a large mineralized zone that has been drilled over
1800 by 500 metres and forms an important part of the Initial Mineral Resource estimate for MPD
(
see news release June 25, 2025
)
.

The Ketchan deposit is associated with a northwesterly
geophysical trend which continues
onto the Ketch claim package.
Further work will be required to determine if an
extension to
the Ketchan deposit
is present along this trend. Figure 2
The newly acquired claims will also allow Kodiak to
expand operations in other prospective
areas
at MPD Northwest which
hosts 24 known mineral occurrences, including six with
significant porphyry-related copper-gold mineralization

A soil
geochemical program consisting of 2,000 samples is currently being initiated to
explore targets on the MPD Northwest claims
. The program will investigate historical
showings as well as VRIFY AI targets and the area around the Ketchan deposit and is expected to
be complete in November.
Claudia Tornquist, President and CEO of Kodiak said, "Kodiak's strategy to consolidate the MPD
district over the past seven years has been key in generating the critical mass to bring this project to
fruition and demonstrate that it has the potential to become a major mine in the future. The acquisition of
the Ketch claim package is a logical next step, and I am glad we were able to secure these strategically
located claims which could potentially host an extension of our Ketchan deposit. I am looking forward to
the results of the current soil program which focuses on advancing several promising targets on the
prospective MPD Northwest area."
Transaction Details
Kodiak has entered into a property purchase agreement with Eagle Plains an arms-length, Canadian
exploration company to acquire a 100% interest in the claim package, subject to the approval of the
TSX-Venture Exchange and other customary conditions. The consideration consists of 300,000 Kodiak
shares upon closing of the transaction, and a net smelter return royalty ("NSR") of 2%. Kodiak will retain
the right to buy back 1% of the NSR for $1.75 million at any time.

About Kodiak Copper
Kodiak is focused on its 100% owned copper porphyry projects in Canada and the USA that have been
historically drilled and present known mineral discoveries with the potential to hold large-scale deposits.
Kodiak Copper's most advanced asset is the 100% owned MPD copper-gold porphyry project in the
prolific Quesnel Terrane in south-central British Columbia, Canada, a mining district with producing
mines and excellent infrastructure. MPD exhibits all the hallmarks of a major, multi-centered porphyry
district with the potential to become a top-tier mine. To date, drilling has outlined seven substantial
mineralized zones across the property, and Kodiak is delivering an Initial Resource estimate for MPD in
2025. The Initial Resource estimate for the first four mineralized zones announced in June 2025, has
already highlighted the project's scale and potential. Drill results on the remaining three zones from
Kodiak's 2025 exploration program will be incorporated into the full Initial Resource estimate, expected
by year end. With known mineralized zones open to expansion and multiple untested targets, Kodiak
continues to systematically explore the district-scale potential of MPD to build critical mass and make
the next discovery.
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.
