Algo Grande Launches Advanced Geophysical and Geochemical
Programs Ahead of Phase II Drilling in Q2 2026
Vancouver, BC – March 19, 2026 – Algo Grande Copper Corp. (TSX-V: ALGR |
OTC: KNDYF | FRA: KM00) (“Algo Grande” or the “Company”) announces the
commencement of advanced surface and geophysical programs at its 100%-owned
Adelita Project in Sonora, Mexico, designed to refine and prioritize drill targets ahead of
its Phase II drill program scheduled to commence in Q2 2026.
The integrated exploration campaign includes:
High-resolution LiDAR survey (license wide)
Drone-based magnetic survey
Systematic soil geochemical sampling program
These programs include a high-resolution LiDAR survey to refine structural interpretation
and identify subtle topographic and alteration features, a drone-based magnetic survey
designed to map intrusive contacts and magnetite-rich skarn bodies, and the launch of a
systematic geochemical soil sampling program across a newly identified area within the
Cerro Grande target zone. Together, these datasets are expected to significantly enhance
drill targeting and expand the known footprint of mineralization across the district-scale
Adelita property.
Enrico Gay, CEO of Algo Grande, stated: ““Following the success of our maiden drill
program, our focus is now on systematically scaling the Adelita system. The drone
magnetic survey is particularly important, as it allows us to map magnetite-rich skarn
horizons along strike and target step-outs beyond the currently defined 300-metre zone
at Cerro Grande. Equally, the LiDAR survey is critical in what we interpret to be a
structurally controlled system, as it will enhance our ability to identify and track the key
structures responsible for mineralization. Together, these datasets position us to define
high-confidence drill targets as we advance toward our Phase II drill program in Q2
2026.”
The resulting structural, geophysical, and geochemical datasets will be integrated into
the Company’s 3D geological and machine-learning targeting models to optimize drill
hole placement and maximize discovery potential.
LiDAR Survey
The Company has initiated a high-resolution airborne LiDAR survey across the entire
Adelita property.
The LiDAR program is designed to:
Define structural corridors and fault systems controlling mineralization
LEGAL_49111854.1
Identify subtle alteration signatures and mineralized trends beneath cover
Detect historical workings and previously unrecognized exploration targets
This dataset will provide a high-precision structural framework critical to targeting
both skarn-hosted mineralization and potential feeder systems at depth.
Drone Magnetic Survey
Algo Grande has launched a high-resolution drone-based magnetic survey over the
+6km mineralization prospective corridor and surrounding targets.
The survey is designed to:
Map intrusive contacts associated with mineralizing systems
Identify magnetite-rich skarn bodies linked to copper mineralization
Delineate structural controls and potential feeder zones associated with copper-
gold-silver mineralization (Figure 1)

Drone magnetics provide significantly higher resolution than legacy datasets and are
expected to play a key role in identifying buried skarn bodies and vectors toward a
potential porphyry source at depth, supporting definition of the Company’s planned
drilling campaign scheduled to commence in Q2 2026.

Geochemical Soil Sampling
A systematic soil grid program will be conducted over an area where recent mineralization
was identified and where limited historical geochemical coverage exists (Figure 2). The
objective is to better understand the provenance of a mineralized granodiorite sample
(Figure 3) collected in early January and to prioritize follow-up trenching and drilling
across defined anomalies.

granodiorite sample (see Figure 3).
The mineralized granodiorite boulder was encountered at approximately one metre depth
during access construction for drilling activities.

clearing access for phase I drilling. Rock sample found at 1 meter of depth.
These integrated datasets are expected to significantly enhance drill targeting for the
next phase of exploration.

About Algo Grande Copper Corp.
Algo Grande Copper Corp. is a growth-focused mineral exploration company advancing
the Adelita Project, a district-scale, multi-system copper-gold-silver opportunity
positioned in the prolific Arizona-Sonora copper belt.
The company is dedicated to unlocking the full mineral potential of this under-explored
corridor through disciplined data-driven exploration, technical excellence, and a firm
commitment to value creation for shareholders. The 5,895-hectare Adelita Project is
anchored by the high-grade Cerro Grande Cu-Au-Ag skarn discovery, which exhibits
strong continuity along a defined corridor extending over 6 kilometers. Reprocessing of
legacy geophysical data and field mapping indicate the presence of a potential porphyry
system at depth, suggesting a classic skarn-porphyry mineralization model similar to
major deposits found throughout northwestern Mexico.
