Kenorland Grants 2% NSR Royalty on South
Uchi Project to Newly Formed Subsidiary
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 16, 2024) -
Kenorland Minerals Ltd.
(
TSXV: KLD
) (
OTCQX: KLDCF
) (
FSE: 3WQ0
) ("
Kenorland
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to
announce that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Kenorland Minerals North America Ltd., has
granted to its wholly owned subsidiary, 1431275 B.C. Ltd., a 2% net smelter return royalty (the "
South
Uchi Royalty
") on its 100% owned South Uchi Project (the "
Project
"), located in the Red Lake District,
northwestern Ontario. Kenorland recently announced positive results of its 2024 summer exploration
program on the Project (see the Company's press release dated September 11, 2024). The purchase
price for the South Uchi Royalty was paid through the issuance of common shares of 1431275 B.C. Ltd.
The grant of the South Uchi Royalty is the first step in the eventual creation of a separate division within
the Company isolating its royalty interests. The Company expects this will create additional shareholder
value and will allow the Company to pursue new strategic opportunities including allowing the Company
to separately market its royalty assets.
The Company currently holds a portfolio of royalty interests on projects located in North America,
including a 4% net smelter return royalty on the Frotet Project, located in Quebec.

About the South Uchi Project
The South Uchi Project was first identified and staked by Kenorland based on the region's prospectivity
to host significant gold mineralised systems. The Project covers a portion of Confederation Assemblage
volcanic rocks, as well as the boundary between the volcanic-dominated Uchi geological subprovince to
the north and the sedimentary-dominated English River geological subprovince to the south. Multiple
major east-west striking shear zones associated with the Uchi and English River subprovince boundary
transect the Project. Deformation associated with these structures has resulted in zones of strong
shearing, alteration, and folding of the metavolcanic-clastic and metasedimentary-iron formation
stratigraphy, which are favorable settings for orogenic gold mineralisation. The majority of gold deposits
in the Red Lake District (Red Lake, Madsen, Hasaga, and others) are located on the northern margin of
the Confederation Assemblage, however, recent discoveries such as the LP Fault Zone on the Dixie
Project by Great Bear Resources Ltd. (acquired by Kinross Gold and renamed Great Bear Project)
highlight the prospectivity of the entire Confederation Assemblage along the southern margin of the Uchi
subprovince.
The Papaonga target area within the Project, covering approximately 40 km², presents a large, coherent
gold-in-till and HMC gold grain anomaly, with widespread gold mineralization found in bedrock along
northeast-trending shear zones. The gold is hosted in various rock types, including intrusive,
sedimentary, and volcanic formations, and is accompanied by a strong multi-element signature (Au-Ag-
Te-W±As-Sb-Mo) indicative of gold anomalism. These results suggest the presence of a significant and
previously unrecognized gold system. A maiden diamond drill program is currently being designed and
planned.
