HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle
Kingfisher Outlines New Porphyry Target 6 km from Highway and Power,
HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 16, 2026 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX -V: KFR) (FSE: 970)
(OTCQB: KGFMF) (“ Kingfisher” or the “ Company”) is pleased to report the delineation of a new
porphyry drill target at the Turquoise target area (Figures 1-3). Interpretation of recently updated
geophysical inversion datasets1 highlight a compelling subsurface target within the Company’s 933
km² HWY 37 Project, located in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.
Key Highlights:
• New near-surface porphyry copper – gold target identified at the Turquoise target area
characterized by a 0.5 by 2.0 km chargeability anomaly. The magnetic vector amplitude
inversion (MVI), direct current ( DC) resistivity and the Mobile MagnetoTellurics (MMT)
resistivity datasets all support the core target domain (Figure 2).
• Majority of t arget area is covered by a landslide and glacial till , interpreted to cover the
core porphyry alteration target with only discrete lateral alteration expressions at surface
(Figure 1).
• Porphyry proximal indications include advanced argillic mineralogy (dickite and vuggy
silica) on surface and high pyrite abundance near geophysical core target domain (Figure 1).
• Target is near-surface and drill ready.
Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher, states, “ The Turquoise target is a direct result of our systematic
exploration approach, which continues to unlock new opportunities across this underexplored yet
highly prospective region of the Golden Triangle. The target is located within the emerging Hank–Mary
district and only ~ 6 km from existing infrastructure . Turquoise represents a compelling new drill
target that we’re excited to test this summer as we continue to build a strong pipeline of high-quality
targets across the HWY 37 Project. "

Turquoise Porphyry Target
A new porphyry target has been identified ~3.4 km east of the Hank Porphyry discovery hole (HW-25-
011). The target is centered on a 0.5 by 2.0 km chargeability anomaly (> 12.0 mV/V) and is supported
by the recent MMT inversion , and magnetic inversion products1. Geophysical patterns define a
possible fluid upwelling or structural root to the anomaly, supported by coincident geophysical
signatures and surface geology mapping. The scale of the target area is approximately 1 by 3.4 km,
elongated to the northeast.
Geophysical Highlights:
• IP Chargeability: A large, coherent chargeability anomaly extends to surface and is spatially
coincident with mapped pyrite alteration. The anomaly forms a volume approximately 0.5 km
wide, 0.5 km deep and 2.0 km long and could define a broad sulphide-rich system. The peak
chargeability values are 25 mV/V.
• MVI Amplitude: A steep, low - to moderate-amplitude magnetic feature is interpreted to
reflect a structural focus or a fluid flow pathway. This feature appears to focus on the core of
the chargeability anomaly, refining the primary drill target.
• Resistivity (MMT and DC): Integrated resistivity datasets define classic porphyry -style
architecture:
o A mushroom-shaped, low-resistivity (conductive) cap with values ranging between
25-100 ohm * m and dimensions of approximately 1.0 km deep, 4.0 km wide and 6.0
km long, coincident with mapped clay-rich alteration.
o Underlying low - to moderate -resistivity domains are interpreted as potential
porphyry stockwork zones, with the central “stem” representing a central fluid
upwelling within a broad alteration system.
o Moderate resistivity at surface correlates with mapped siliceous advanced argillic
alteration.
Surface Geology Highlights:
• Mapping indicates a vector toward higher temperature alteration toward the core target.
Advanced argillic mineralogy, including dickite and vuggy silica, has been identified above
the chargeability anomaly and may indicate a porphyry-top position.
• Sericite–chlorite-pyrite-quartz alteration observed at surface within the core target area is
consistent with porphyry-style alteration observed at the Hank porphyry.
• The projected surface expression of the core target is largely obscured by landslide and
moraine cover. However, proximal outcrops report elevated pyrite contents (>5%), supporting
the geophysical interpretation.
• Representative prospecting and rock sampling in the valley remain limited due to extensive
till and landslide cover.
