VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / January 13, 2026 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR)(FSE:970)(OTCQB:KGFMF) ("Kingfisher" or the "Company") is pleased to announce further results from the 2025 exploration and drilling program at the HWY 37 Project. The 933 km 2 HWY 37 Project is located within the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.
Assay results have been received for an additional three diamond drill holes HW-25-008, -009, and -010. Diamond drill holes HW-25-008 and -010 returned some of the longest copper intercepts from within the Williams porphyry copper-gold system. HW-25-008 cut 889.35 m 1 of
Highlights from this release include:
HW-25-008 (Williams): 889.35 m of
0.47% CuEq from 3.65 mIncluding 40.15 m at
1.16% CuEq from 287.95 m
HW25-010 (Williams): 721.7 m of
0.46% CuEq from 4.3 mIncluding 78.7 m of
1.01% CuEq from 4.3 mIncluding 47.55 m of
1.12% CuEq from 273.0 m
"The Williams drilling continues to demonstrate a well-mineralized porphyry system with copper-gold mineralization extending from surface over long intervals," said Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher. "While Williams is interpreted as a satellite to a larger porphyry system at Hank, the presence of bornite and localized higher-grade intervals highlights the fertility of the broader system. These results provide geological context for the Hank porphyry system identified in the final hole of the program (HW-25-011), with results expected to be released in the near term."

HW-25-008 Summary
This hole was designed to cross quartz stockwork veins with chalcopyrite +/- bornite mineralization observed at surface and test the strike and depth extent of the Williams porphyry to the northeast. Hole HW-25-008 intersected mineralization at surface below cover until end of hole, returning 889.35 m of
0-157 m: potassic alteration with varying amounts of chalcopyrite ± bornite
157-253 m: felsic stratigraphy with low sulfide and trace chalcopyrite concentrations
253-810 m: potassic alteration in mixed monzonite and wall rock with variable chalcopyrite ± bornite
810-893 m: flanking alteration of epidote-magnetite-K-feldspar, low relative chalcopyrite and increase in pyrite

HW-25-010 Summary
Hole HW-25-010 collared on the same drill pad as HW-25-008. This hole was designed to test the deeper domain boundaries of the porphyry system. Hole HW-25-010 accomplished this goal and defined the eastern domain boundary and returning 721.7 m of

HW-25-006 Update
Further to the release dated November 10, 2025 ( Kingfisher Metals Reports 110 Meters of 0.47 g/t Gold in ~500 m step-out at Hank and Extends Gold in Soil Anomaly at Hank on the HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle, British Columbia ), multielement assay results from HW-25-006 has been received. The new data updates the intersection to 241.0 m of
Pending Results
Kingfisher has now received assays for diamond drill hole HW-25-011, which are currently being interpreted by the Company with an update to follow in due course. The Company is also waiting on final IP and airborne EM (MMT) geophysical datasets as well as finalized geological mapping data collected during the 2025 field program. Results of these surveys will be released once received and interpreted.
Kingfisher will be attending the upcoming AME Roundup Core Shack in Vancouver, British Columbia. Drill core from Williams as well as the new Hank porphyry system (HW-25-011) will be on display for the public to view in the Core Shack on January 26 and 27.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QAQC)
Drilling on site at the HWY 37 Project was supervised by on-site Kingfisher personnel who implemented a full QAQC program using coarse blanks, pulp blanks, standards, and duplicates inserted into the sample stream to monitor analytical accuracy and precision. The samples were sealed on site using tamper proof seals with unique identifiers. The samples were sent to the BV lab in Vancouver, British Columbia. BV's quality control system complies with global certifications for Quality ISO/IEC 17025:2017 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories . Diamond drill core samples were analyzed using a combination of BV's MA200 process for low level concentrations (4 acid digestion/ICP-ES/MS) and MA 370 process for higher level concentrations (4 acid digestion/ICP-ES). Gold assaying was completed using FA430, a 30-gram fire assay with AAS finish. If applicable, base metal overlimits were finalized with titration, and gold overlimits completed with a gravimetric finish. Technical aspects of this release have been reviewed, verified, and approved by Tyler Caswell, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration of Kingfisher, who is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Minerals Projects.
