Star Metro - Kingfisher Metals Reports 234 meters of 1.0% Copper Equivalent, within 558 meters of 0.64% CuEq at HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle, British Columbia

HW-25-004 has returned one of the highest and longest grade copper-gold intercepts ever completed at the Williams porphyry copper-gold deposit. The drillhole intercepted 557.8 meters ¹ of 0.29% copper, 0.30 g/t gold, and 1.6 g/t silver (0.64% CuEq) ² (Table 1). Importantly this hole highlights a body of strong bornite mineralization demonstrating the potential for additional high-grade porphyry copper gold deposits at the HWY 37 Project. Highlights include:

• HW-25-004 : 557.8 meters at 0.64% CuEq from 328.10 meters

  • Including 234.35 meters at 1.00% CuEq from 328.10 meters

Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher, states "In these initial drill results we see clear confirmation of our exploration concepts - consistent vertical grade and expansion of the bornite-rich stockwork. The new data de-risks the broader project targets, justifies future drill meters, and strengthens our conviction that we're advancing a value-creating asset for shareholders."

HW-25-004 Summary

HW-25-004 was collared at 169 ^o degrees and -75 ^o dip (Figure 1 & 2), upslope and north of potassic alteration at Williams. After passing through the Williams thrust fault at 327 meters (m), the drill cut into copper-bearing potassic alteration ( Figure 3). Well-developed potassic alteration with chalcopyrite-bornite-diginite is present from 328 to 805 m downhole with chalcopyrite-dominant mineralization from 805 to end of hole at 885.9 m. Bornite occurs at surface at the discovery outcrop 1040 m elevation (m el.) and has been intersected in historical drilling down to 480 m el. These new results extend bornite mineralization to 340 m el., or 140 m deeper than previously known (Figure 2). The higher-grade subinterval of 328.10 to 562.45 m is associated with several syn-mineral porphyry phases and elevated copper is best developed in high fracture zones, breccia and higher vein density at the margin to the porphyry contacts. This subinterval is interpreted to be the hot core of the sulfide system, as bornite > chalcopyrite. Bornite-rich cores to porphyry systems are commonly associated with associated elevated gold grades. This is the first intercept of the deeper extents of the bornite > chalcopyrite body and the vertical extent of this body is unknown.

• Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey covering 256 km ²

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 news 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.

¹ True widths of the reported mineralized interval have not been determined.

² Assumptions used in USD for the copper equivalent calculation (CuEq) were metal prices of $4.00/lb copper, $3,000/oz gold, and $30/oz silver. Recovery is assumed to be 80% for copper, 80% for gold and 80% for silver. The following equations was used to. calculate the copper equivalence: CuEq = copper (%) + (gold (g/t) x 1.0938) + (silver (g/t) x 0.0109). Differences may occur due to rounding.
