Red Canyon Commences Kendal Ridge Targeted Drill Program
Vancouver, British Columbia, September 16, 202 5: Red Canyon Resources Ltd. (“Red
Canyon” or the “Company”) (CSE: R EDC | OTCQB: REDRF) is pleased to announce it has
commenced diamond drilling on its 100% owned Kendal copper project in west-central British
Columbia. The Company is f ocused on value-driven exploration to make new discoveries of
copper and copper-gold resources in established mineral belts in North America.
Company Highlights:
• The planned program consists of up to 8 drill holes totalling approximately 2,500 m. Drilling
will target the Kendal Ridge area, an interpreted copper porphyry centre within the 4 km
by 3 km Kendal hydrothermal system.
• The inaugural drilling at Kendal in 2024, identified a large-scale hydrothermal system with
massive fluid flow and low-grade copper and molybdenum (moly) mineralization
throughout all drill holes. These drill holes are interpreted to be drilled on the fringes of a
copper centre at Kendal.
• In 2025, the Compan y conducted e xpanded l ithogeochemical studies , detailed vein
density mapping and a MobileMT geophysic al survey that have identified the Kendal
Ridge area as the most advanced and highest priority target.
• Red Canyon and third-party geological consultants model the Kendal Ridge area within a
broad zone of potassic alteration, suggesting that the core areas of copper mineralization
could be in proximity of surface. The drill program will test a combination of the highest
copper and moly surface mineralization, highest vein density areas, and both complex
magnetics and conductive and resistive zones identified by the recent MobileMT survey
at Kendal (see news release dated August 20, 2025).
• The Company controls a portfolio of seven 100%-owned1, internally generated copper and
copper – gold projects in British Columbia and the Western United States.
Wendell Zerb, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, states: "The Kendal project represents a
large-scale hydrothermal system with potentially multiple copper porphyry centres. Our expanded
work program has greatly enhanced our conviction of the significant scale of the Kendal system
which now spans over 4 km by 3 km. Within this large system, Kendal Ridge is our most advanced
target and the 2025 drill program will focus on this exciting, near surface , interpreted copper
porphyry centre. Furthermore, Kendal is in close proximity to an active labour force, port,
road/highway, and hydroelectrical grid infrastructure, all of which could vastly improve project
economics should our exploration efforts prove successful.”
Kendal Project
Kendal comprises eight 100%-owned mineral claims tota lling 3,582 hectares located in west -
central British Columbia approximately 25 km northeast of the city of Terrace, a regional
infrastructure hub with a well -serviced airport. Infrastructure is excellent with four intersecting
highways, hydroelectric power, rail corridors and port facilities approximately 120 km to the west
at Prince Rupert. The main project area has direct access via logging roads , 8 km east from
Highway 16. The project area lies within the traditional territory of the Kitselas First Nation.

Kendal Project Drill Plan
Red Canyon has commenced a diamond drill program consisting of up to 8 drill holes totalling
approximately 2,500 m. Drilling will target the Kendal Ridge area, an interpreted copper porphyry
centre within the large-scale Kendal hydrothermal system.

The planned program will be conducted from a minimum of three drill locations at Kendal Ridge,
all road/trail accessible from established logging road access on the west and south side of Kendal
Creek. Collar locations are designed to optimize drill testing the Kendal Ridge area, which spans
an area of about 850 m by 800 m (Figures 2, 3). The drill program will test a combination of the
highest copper and moly surface rock geochemistry values, highest vein density areas,
thorium/potassium (Th/K) ratio lows, and both complex magnetics and conductive and resistive
zones identified by the recent MobileMT survey conducted at Kendal (Figures 2, 4, 5 ). The
Company anticipates the program to run into late October.

The 2024 diamond drilling program at Kendal encountered an extensive mineralized alteration
footprint indicating a porphyry system with a massive amount of associated hydrothermal fluid
flow. This large alteration footprint and corresponding multiple generations of hydrothermal veins
provides confidence regarding the scale of the hydrothermal system. New results from the
MobileMT survey further establish this confidence and the potential for Kendal to host multiple
higher-grade mineralized centres.
The widespread presence of mineralized, porphyry-style B veins provides strong evidence that
areas of the Kendal system are eroded to the level of the primary potassic alteration zone of the
porphyry system. Much of the observed alteration identified at Kendal is dominantly sericite-
chlorite (SC), which overprints earlier potassic alteration. Recent field work has identified B veins
in the Kendal Ridge area which further extends the known potassic alteration to the west-
southwest over a minimum strike length of 1.5 km. Thus, Kendal is defined by a large zone of
potassic alteration with SC overprinting, with previous drilling only testing a small portion of the
potassic footprint. Furthermore, vectoring to higher grade centres within the potassic alteration
zone is likely to be lateral versus to depth from areas previously drill tested.
On August 26, 2025, the Company announced a non-brokered private placement of Charity Flow-
Through Common Shares to raise gross proceeds of up to C$2,200,000 , which included
participation by a multi -national mining company (see News Release dated August 26, 2025 ).
This financing remains on track and is anticipated to close on September 18, 2025.
