King Global Ventures Begins Phase 2 Drilling at Silver Cord Project
Vancouver, British Columbia — February 3, 2026 — Leads & Copy —
King Global Ventures Inc. (CSE:KING) (OTCQB: KGLDF) (FSE: 5LM1) has started a Phase 2 diamond drilling program at its Silver Cord Project, located 68 miles north of Phoenix, AZ. The company announced the drilling program today.
The Phase 2 program will include six holes from two drill pads, totaling up to 6,000 feet of diamond drilling. Boart Longyear has been contracted to complete the drilling.
This Phase 2 program will expand on the Phase 1 program at the Silver Cord Project (press release dated December 2, 2025). The Phase 1 program successfully intersected multiple polymetallic intervals and confirmed a polyphase Ag-Pb-Zn-Sb vein system hosted within the Spud Mountain stratigraphy. The program also provided insight into the nature of the IP anomaly beneath Silver Cord.
A highlight from Phase 1 included an intercept of 9 feet (2.7 meters) at 21.8 ounces (619 grams) per tonne silver, 1.0 g/t gold, 0.6% lead, 1.05% zinc, and 375 g/t antimony.
Robert Dzisiak, CEO of King Global Ventures, stated that the company is excited about the Phase 2 drill program on the Silver Cord property and the success of the initial drilling. He added that the drilling review indicates there are two different polymetallic intervals that warrant further drilling to extend strike length and prove continuity of grade.
Andrew Lee Smith, P.Geo., ICD.D, an independent consultant to King Global Ventures and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in the release.
Smith conducted a comprehensive review of available analytical data, geological logs, drill core photographs, and supporting documentation from the 2025 Silver Cord drill program. This included confirmation of sampling procedures, assessment of chain-of-custody protocols, and evaluation of security measures to ensure sample integrity.
Smith also examined King Global’s QA/QC program, including the insertion of certified reference standards, blanks, and duplicate samples into the analytical stream. He verified that no material QA/QC issues were identified that would affect the reliability of assay results. Original assay certificates issued by ALS Geochemistry, an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards, were reviewed, confirming that the analytical methods applied are suitable for the mineralization encountered at Silver Cord.
Furthermore, Smith confirmed that geological interpretations presented in the release are consistent with observed drill core, surface mapping, geochemical signatures, and assay data. These interpretations are presented as conceptual geological models supported by available data at this stage of exploration.
King Global Ventures is focused on precious and base metals exploration in North America. Its Black Canyon Project in Yavapai County, Arizona, comprises 213 contiguous concessions covering 4,000 acres, encompassing 15 former operating mines, including the past-producing Howard Copper Mine. The Black Canyon Project is situated 62 miles north of Phoenix, Arizona, and targets copper-gold-silver-zinc, Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (“VMS”) mineralization.
The Howard Copper Mine Property is located on 78 acres of patented land. Discovered in the early 1920s, small-scale production focused on high-grade copper. Historical reports indicate that the main shaft was sunk to the 900-foot level, but no ore was mined below the 500-foot level.
The Mikwam Gold Property is located in Noseworthy Township within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of northeastern Ontario. It lies along the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone that hosts Detour Gold’s Burntbush Property. The Mikwam deposit contains disseminated and vein-hosted gold mineralization associated with quartz-carbonate veins and pyrite mineralization.
A NI 43-101 technical report disclosed a historical inferred mineral resource of 1,810,000 tonnes grading 2.34 g/t gold, containing 136,000 ounces of gold at a cut-off grade of 1.00 g/t Au. This estimate is historical in nature, was not prepared for King Global Ventures Inc., and should not be considered current. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources, and the issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
