Vancouver, British Columbia, February 3, 2026 – King Global Ventures Inc. (CSE:KING) (OTCQB: KGLDF) (FSE: 5LM1) (the “Company” or “King Global”) is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling on a Phase (2) diamond drilling program at its Silver Cord Project located 68 miles north of Phoenix AZ. The Phase (2) program will consist of 6 holes from 2 drill pads for up to 6,000 feet of diamond drilling. Boart Longyear has been contracted to complete the program.
The Phase (2) drill program at the Silver Cord Project 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 the presence of a polyphase Ag-Pb-Zn-Sb vein system hosted with the Spud Mountain stratigraphy. The program also provided important insight into the nature of the IP anomaly beneath Silver Cord.
The Highlight intercept from Phase 1, included 9 feet (2.7 metres) 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.
CEO QUOTE
Robert Dzisiak, CEO of King Global Ventures stated: “We are very excited about our Phase 2 drill program on the Silver Cord property and the success of the initial drilling. Our full drilling review indicates that there are 2 different polymetallic intervals that warrant further drilling to extend strike length and prove continuity of grade.”
QUALIFIED PERSON STATEMENT (NI 43-101)
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Andrew Lee Smith, P.Geo., ICD.D, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Mr. Smith is an independent consultant to King Global Ventures and is independent of the Company for the purposes of NI 43-101.
In verifying the scientific and technical information contained in this release, the Qualified Person, conducted a comprehensive review of all available analytical data, geological logs, drill core photographs, and supporting documentation generated during the 2025 Silver Cord drill program. This verification work included confirmation of the sampling procedures used in the field, an assessment of chain-of-custody protocols, and evaluation of the security measures implemented to ensure sample integrity from the drill site to the laboratory.
As part of his review, the Qualified Person examined King Global’s QA/QC program, including the insertion of certified reference standards, blanks, and duplicate samples into the analytical stream. He also verified that no material QA/QC issues were identified that would affect the reliability of the assay results. In addition, the Qualified Person reviewed original assay certificates issued by ALS Geochemistry, an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards and confirmed that the analytical methods applied—including multi-element ICP-MS, ICP-AES, and appropriate over-limit reanalysis—are suitable for the style of mineralization encountered at Silver Cord.
The Qualified Person further confirmed that the geological interpretations presented in this release—including references to structural controls, alteration patterns (AI/CCPI), metal zonation, and evidence for multiple phases of hydrothermal mineralization—are consistent with the observed drill core, surface mapping, geochemical signatures, and assay data. These interpretations are presented as conceptual geological models based on current drilling and are supported by the data available at this stage of exploration
About King Global Ventures:
Black Canyon Property in Arizona
King Global Ventures is focused on the exploration of precious and base metals in North America. The Black Canyon Project in Yavapai County Arizona is comprised of 213 contiguous concessions covering a total area of 4,000 acres encompassing 15 former operating mines including the past producing Howard Copper Mine. The Black Canyon Project is situated 100 km (62 miles) north of Phoenix Arizona and represents an early-stage exploration opportunity targeting copper-gold-silver-zinc, Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (“VMS”) mineralization. The geology of Yavapai County, Arizona is notable due to the presence of a variety of base and precious metal deposit types. The region has a significant history of exploration, discovery and mining operations, including base metals from mining operations like Bagdad, Jerome and Cleopatra. The property is on trend and is approximately 13 km (8 miles) N.W. of Arizona Metals Corp. (T:AMC).
The Howard Copper Mine Property is located on 78 acres of patented land. Discovered in the early 1920’s, small scale production and development focused on high-grade copper. Historical reports state that the main shaft was sunk to the 900-foot level, but that no ore was mined below the 500-foot level.
The Mikwam Property
The Mikwam Gold Property is located in Noseworthy Township within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of the Superior Province, northeastern Ontario. It lies along the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone that hosts Detour Gold’s Burntbush Property. The Mikwam deposit is hosted within Timiskaming-aged polymictic conglomerate and greywacke units and contains disseminated and vein-hosted gold mineralization associated with quartz-carbonate veins and pyrite mineralization.
A NI 43-101 technical report prepared for Galena International Resources Ltd. by Caracle Creek International Consulting Inc., dated December 8, 2016, 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 (announced by Galena in a December 12, 2016 press release) 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.
