K2 Gold Advances Toward Final EIS and Continues to Uncover High-Grade Gold at Mojave Project
K2 Gold Advances Toward Final EIS and
Continues to Uncover High-Grade Gold at
Mojave Project
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2025) - K2 Gold Corporation (TSXV: KTO)
(OTCQB: KTGDF) (FSE: 23K) ("K2" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on exploration
and permitting progress at its 100% - owned Mojave Project, a highly prospective oxide gold project
located in Inyo County, California.
Highlights:
Permitting Nears Key Milestone:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is preparing the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for K2's Mojave Project following the close of the public
comment period. The Final EIS will address all substantive public input and support the
advancement of the Phase II drill program.
High-Grade Gold Confirmed at New Zones:
Ongoing surface exploration continues to expand
the footprint of known mineralization:
Gold Valley
: Rock samples collected over 100m south of the original discovery zone
returned values of
27.6 g/t Au
and
21.5 g/t Au
.
Flores Area (East Zone)
: Reconnaissance sampling returned
3.07 g/t Au
and
4.02 g/t Au
,
in the vicinity of K2's high-grade chip-channel sampling at the target (3.78 g/t Au over 43m in
channel 19-MOT-006).
Phase III Drill Targets Taking Shape:
Field work has focused on targets beyond the current drill
permit boundary, targeting future drilling at Gold Valley and East Zone-two areas with significant
discovery potential.
"As we move closer to finalizing the EIS, our confidence in the scale and quality of the Mojave Project
continues to grow,"
stated
Anthony Margarit
, President and CEO of K2 Gold.
"These new high-grade
surface results reinforce our belief that Mojave represents one of the most compelling underexplored
oxide gold systems in the western U.S."
Mojave Rock Sampling Program Overview:
During the most recent program, 74 rock samples were collected from the Eastern Target Area, focused
on extending and integrating emerging zones into a broader geologic framework. The effort was
designed to prioritize high-potential drill targets for a future Phase III campaign.

Gold Valley Zone
:
High-grade grab samples* (27.6 g/t and 21.5 g/t Au) were recovered from quartz-rich boulders
approximately 130m SSE of previous Gold Valley discovery samples. This marks the first example of
high-grade, quartz-hosted gold at this target, expanding the known styles of mineralization at Mojave.
*Grab samples are selective in nature and may not represent underlying mineralization.

East Zone / Flores Target
:
Located east of the primary Dragonfly-Newmont-Gold Valley corridor, the East Zone hosts multiple
structurally controlled gold targets. Sampling in the vicinity of the
Flores Target
, (where K2 collected a
chip-channel sample which returned 3.78 g/t Au over 43m in 2019) confirmed contact-hosted gold
mineralization over 280m to the southwest (3.07 g/t Au) and 750m to the southeast (4.02 g/t Au) of the
discovery channel sample. The samples were collected at structural contacts between a panel of graded
limestone and two separate packages of siltstone. The broader East Zone includes additional
anomalous zones such as Broken Hill several unnamed clusters of surficial gold anomalism.

Permitting Progress - Final EIS in Preparation
K2 remains on track in its permitting process for Phase II drilling. The Company is working closely with
the BLM and technical consultants to incorporate public feedback received during the 45-day comment
period for the Draft EIS. The Final EIS will ensure regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship,
and its completion represents a significant milestone for advancing exploration activities at Mojave.
Qualified Person ("QP") and QA/QC
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with Canadian
regulatory requirements set out in NI 43-101 and reviewed and approved by Eric Buitenhuis, M.Sc.,
P.Geo., K2's QP and Vice President of Exploration.
The analytical work for the rock sampling programs was performed by ALS Laboratories ("ALS") in
Reno, Nevada and North Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples were submitted to ALS's Reno, Nevada
facility where they were prepared using procedure PREP-31 (crush, split, and pulverize 250g to better
than 85% passing 75 microns). Pulp samples were then analysed for gold by method Au-AA23, a 30-
gram Fire Assay fusion with an atomic absorption finish (AAS). A 0.5g pulp was analysed by aqua-regia
acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) for 36
elements using method ME-ICP41. Samples containing >10 g/t Au were analyzed by Au-GRA21, a 30-
gram Fire Assay fusion with gravimetric finish. Samples containing overlimit silver, copper, lead, or zinc
were analyzed by methods Ag-OG62, Cu-OG62, Pb-OG62, and Zn-OG62, which are aqua regia digests
with ore grade ICP finishes.

.
The
Wels Project
in Yukon, Canada, where recent drilling intersected gold in all holes and outlined
a new mineralized corridor at the Saddle South target.
