KAPA GOLD ADVANCES BASELINE STUDIES AND SURFACE EXPLORATION AT BLACKHAWK

PROJECT

Groundwork for 2025 drilling program includes environmental reviews, sample collection,

and historic data verification.

VANCOUVER, BC – January 7, 2025 – KAPA GOLD INC . (TSXV:KAPA) (“Kapa” or the “ Company”) is

pleased to announce progress on its Blackhawk Gold Project (“Blackhawk”). Kapa recently mobilized

its technical team to the project site to commence baseline studies, surface exploration and channel

sampling activities as part of its preparation for the 2025 drilling program. These initiatives represent

a significant step in verifying historical data, refining exploration strategies and ensuring compliance

with environmental standards.

During this phase, a total of 18 samples were collected, including a comprehensive channel sample at

the Timber target. These samples, currently undergoing detailed analysis, aim to confirm the presence

of gold mineralization and validate results from previous drill holes. The data gathered will help shape

the Company’s targeted drilling program planned for 2025.

To uphold its commitment to sustainable exploration, Kapa has engaged local environmental

consultants to evaluate the proposed drilling areas. To date, thorough reviews have been conducted

to ensure there are no endangered plant species in the immediate vicinity, a critical step in

maintaining harmony with the local ecosystem. Additionally, the baseline studies have been initiated

to support future permitting applications, further reinforcing the Company’s dedication to responsible

resource development.

The site activities also included verification of historic drill holes and data aimed at integrating this

information into the broader exploration plan. These efforts are vital for refining drilling targets and

maximizing the efficiency of future operations.

"The progress we are making at Blackhawk underscores our commitment to discipline d and

responsible exploration, commented David K. Paxton, CEO of Kapa Gold. With each step, we enhance

our understanding of this highly prospective asset and move closer to unlocking its full potential. The

groundwork we have laid will be instrumental as we advance toward our 2025 drilling program."

Looking ahead, Kapa will continue its baseline studies and surface exploration activities into 2025,

with a focus on ensuring technical, environmental, and operational readiness for the next phase of

development.

The Company remains steadfast in its systematic approach to advancing the Blackhawk Gold Project

while prioritizing environmental stewardship and community engagement.
