Ontario
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 2, 2025) -
Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:
KLD) (OTCQX: KLDCF)
(FSE: 3WQ0)
("
Kenorland
" or the "
Company
") is pleased to announce
results from its 2025 geochemical and prospecting surveys targeting gold systems at the Western
Wabigoon and Flora projects (the "
Projects
"
)
in northwestern Ontario. The Projects are currently held
under an option agreement with a subsidiary of Centerra Gold Inc. ("
Centerra
").
Western Wabigoon and Flora Highlights:
Multiple km-scale gold-in-till anomalies across both Projects (see Figures 2 and 3)
Complex structural and geologic settings, prospective for orogenic gold systems
Limited historical exploration within the target areas
Maiden drill program planning for 2026 underway

Western Wabigoon Project
Large-scale systematic geochemical surveys have defined a ~19 kilometre gold-in-till trend along a
major structural corridor. Within this corridor, infill sampling completed in 2025 further refined multiple
coherent, high-tenor gold-in-till anomalies across the W1, W2 and W3 target areas. Gold grain analysis
from heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) till sampling has reinforced this interpretation, with the W2 target
producing a strong, continuous gold-grain anomaly, including normalised counts of up to 251 grains per
sample, along a 4km trend open to the southwest. Together, these results highlight W2 as a priority for
follow-up exploration in 2026 including diamond drilling. The W2 Target area encompasses an area of
numerous multi-gram per tonne Au showings from trenching and shallow drilling within an area
historically known as the Sorry Mac trend. Surface work conducted by Kenorland has confirmed gold
mineralisation along the trend with rock samples up to 7.75 g/t Au, and significantly expanded the
historical footprint into what is now referred to as the W2 Target.
During the 2025 program, the Company completed an infill soil sample survey on a 100 m x 200 m grid,
HMC till samples collected at 250 m x 500 m spacing, mapping and prospecting, and a heliborne
magnetic, VLF-EM, and radiometric survey to enhance structural interpretation and guide ongoing target
development.

Flora Project
Geochemical surveys completed in 2024 and 2025 have outlined the F1 target as a large-scale, high-
tenor gold-in-till anomaly extending over 7 kilometres within a sheared diorite, coincident with a coherent
7 kilometre trend of strong gold grain results from HMC till sampling. Mapping and prospecting within the
F1 area identified high-grade gold mineralisation, with rock samples returning up to 31.70 g/t Au in the
central portion of the target area and up to 17.40 g/t Au approximately 3 kilometres to the northeast. No
historical drilling has been completed in the F1 area.
The Company completed extensive follow-up work during the 2025 exploration program, including infill
soil samples on a 100 m x 200 m grid across both the F1 and F2 target areas, along with mapping and
prospecting. In addition, HMC till samples were collected at 250 m x 500 m spacing for gold grain
analysis, and a heliborne magnetic, VLF-EM, and radiometric survey was flown over the F1 target to
refine structural and lithological interpretation and support ongoing target development.

2026 Exploration Program Planning
Planning for the 2026 field campaign is under way with up to 5,000m of diamond drilling proposed,
designed as a series of fences to test key structural intersections associated with strong gold-in-till and
gold grain anomalies, focusing on the priority W2 target of the Western Wabigoon Project.
At the Flora Project, 2026 work will focus on additional surface exploration, including mapping and
prospecting to help refine targets intended to position Flora for a future drill program.
About The Projects
The Western Wabigoon Project is situated within the Western Wabigoon subprovince and covers key
intersections of major deformation zones within the Archean greenstone belt. In the northern portion of
the property, the Pipestone-Cameron Deformation Zone (PCdz) intersects both the Manitou-Dinorwic
Deformation Zone (MDdz) and the Helena-Pipestone Deformation Zone (HPdz). The PCdz hosts the
Cameron orogenic gold deposit 30 km to the northwest, while the HPdz hosts the Rainy River deposit 50
km to the southwest. These high-strain structural corridors also host numerous gold showings associated
with iron carbonate veins, altered shear zones, and porphyry dykes.
The Flora Project is located within the Western Wabigoon subprovince of the Archean Superior
Province. The major Wabigoon Fault (WF) transects the 80-km strike length of the property, juxtaposing
Warclub assemblage rocks in the north against Populus Lake Group mafic volcanic and ultramafic
intrusive rocks to the south. The region hosts multiple mineralisation styles, including orogenic gold
deposits such as the Cameron deposit 15 km to the south along the northwest-trending Pipestone-
Cameron Deformation Zone (PCdz) and the Goliath deposit 50 km to the northeast along the Wabigoon
Fault, as well as magmatic Ni-Cu sulphide systems such as the Kenbridge deposit located 3 km east of
the property.
The Projects are held under an earn-in agreement with a subsidiary of Centerra Gold (see press release
dated June 25, 2025), whereby Centerra can earn up to a 70% interest in each project by funding staged
exploration and delivering a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Upon earn-in, a joint venture will
be formed, with Kenorland retaining the right to a carried interest through to completion of a Pre-
Feasibility Study (PFS), after which both parties will contribute pro-rata to development.
In addition to its carried interest, Kenorland retains a 2% NSR royalty covering its 100%-owned claims
within the Project areas.

QA/QC and Sampling Protocols
Soil Samples
All 2025 soil samples were collected under the supervision of Kenorland employees. Soil samples were
hand dug in the field targeting the 'C' or 'B' horizon soil, bagged and then transported from the field to the
crew facilities where blanks and certified reference materials were inserted at regular sample intervals.
Groups of samples were placed in large bags, sealed with numbered tags in order to maintain a chain-
of-custody, and transported to Bureau Veritas Commodities ("
BV
") laboratory in Timmins, Ontario.
Sample preparation and analytical work for this soil sampling program were carried out by BV. Samples
were prepared for analysis according to BV method SS230: individual samples were dried at 60
o
C, and
then sieved up to 100g to -230 mesh (-63 µm) for analysis. Samples were analyzed using BV method
AQ252_EXT where a 30g split is analyzed by Aqua Regia digestion with ultratrace ICP-MS finish for
both gold and multi-element geochemistry (52 elements). All results passed the QA/QC screening at the
lab, all company inserted standards and blanks returned results that were within acceptable limits.
Gold Grain Counts
All 2025 HMC till samples were collected under the supervision of Kenorland employees. 10kg of C-
horizon till was extracted using augers and shovels and placed into Hubco bags. Groups of samples
were placed in large bags and sealed with numbered tags to maintain a chain-of-custody and
transported to Overburden Drilling Management (ODM) in Ottawa, Ontario.
ODM weighed the till samples, and then removed a 300-gram split for archive. Samples were sieved to
+/- 2mm: the +2mm fraction was logged for pebble lithology and the -2mm size fraction was sent to a
shaker table for heavy mineral concentration. After the shaker table, concentrates were micro-panned for
additional concentration of the heavy minerals.
At this point, visible gold grains were counted by ODM
staff, as well as other metallic minerals.
