King Global Ventures (Private search engine:king) (Otkbk: KGLDF) (FSE: 5LM1) (the “Company” or “King Global”) is pleased to announce assay results from the Company’s 2025 and 2026 diamond drilling programs at the Silver Cord Mine, located within the Company’s Black Canyon Project in Yavapai County, Arizona. Joint drilling programs have successfully intersected polymetallic silver mineralization along the interpreted eastern extension of the historically mined silver cord vein system, and indicate interpreted continuity of high-grade silver, lead and zinc mineralization beyond the boundaries of historical underground development.

Robert Dzisiak, CEO of King Global Ventures, said, “We are very pleased with the drilling results from the Silver Cord Phase 2 program. They indicate continuity of grade and structure when grading from the Phase 1 results. A follow-up drilling program is being planned to further test the extension of the mineral systems.”
The results of joint drilling programs confirm the presence of a shallow, southeastern continuous polymetallic silver vein system containing locally elevated silver, lead, zinc, antimony and gold values. Many of the drill holes intersect broad mineralized intervals containing high-grade interior zones consistent with the geometry and style of historically mined mineralization in the Silver Cord.
Drill hole SC-26-05 returned one of the best multi-metallic intercepts encountered during the current drilling campaign, intersecting 8.0 feet grading 5.48 oz/t silver, 0.08 oz/t gold, 0.05% copper, 2.20% lead, 2.53% zinc, and 0.04% antimony. During this period, several high-grade subintervals were intersected, including 1.0 feet grading (11.78 oz/t silver, 0.19 oz/t gold, 0.05% copper, 10.09% lead, and 6.01% zinc).
Additional significant results from the 2026 program include hole SC-26-04, which intersected 6.0 feet grading 6.85 oz/t silver, 0.01% copper, 0.71% lead, and 1.02% zinc, including 2.0 feet grading 14.20 oz/t silver. Hole SC-26-07 intersected 2.0 feet grading 5.39 oz/t silver, 0.01% copper, 1.71% lead, and 0.25% zinc.
Hole SC-26-01 intersected a wider 45.0-foot mineralized interval grading 0.58 oz/t silver with associated lead-zinc mineralization, including a high-grade interval grading 7.29 oz/t silver over 2.0 feet.
The results of the 2025 training campaign similarly confirmed the continuity of the regime. Drill hole SC-25-004 intersected 10.5 feet grading 18.07 oz/t silver, 0.03 oz/t gold, 0.02% copper, 0.56% lead, and 1.06% zinc, including 3.0 feet grading 40.54 oz/t silver. Hole SC-25-007 returned a 59.0-foot wide mineralized interval grading 1.11 oz/t silver with associated lead-zinc enrichment, including 3.0 feet grading 9.07 oz/t silver.
The Company believes that combined results from the 2025 and 2026 drilling programs confirm the exploration potential of the Silver Cord System and confirm the validity of the structural and geological targeting model developed through recent mapping and reinterpretation work. Numerous drill holes intersect multiple mineralized intervals, suggesting the possible presence of parallel or stacked vein structures within the broader Silver-Turkey Gold Cord corridor.
Recent structural mapping indicates that the mineral veins strike northeast and dip shallowly to the southeast, in contrast to the prevailing steeply dipping regional foliation. The veins are characterized by jagged, comb-shaped quartz containing galena, sphalerite, silver-bearing sulphides, and locally high gold values. The company interprets the mineralization process as a structurally controlled polymetallic vein system, spatially associated with late-stage andesite dikes and brittle structural reactivation.
The Silver Cord Mine has historically produced high-grade silver, lead and zinc mineralization contained within shallow, southeast-dipping quartz sulphide veins developed within Proterozoic igneous rocks of the Black Canyon Creek Group. Recent geological mapping and structural reinterpretation have identified the Silver Cord and adjacent Türkiye Gold systems as part of a broader, northeast-bound, structurally controlled polymineral corridor. Drill campaigns in 2025 and 2026 are designed to test the east-strike extension and regression continuity of these historically productive structures.
Subsequent drilling is being planned to test the east strike extension and slope continuity of the Silver Cord system, as well as additional targets identified within the broader Black Canyon project.
This press release is accompanied by a full schedule of training results from the 2025 and 2026 programs. Intervals reported as “including” represent high-grade subintervals within the broader mineralized zones and are not additive. The reported intervals are base lengths and the true widths are currently unknown.
Quality assurance/quality control
The drill core was recorded, photographed and sampled under the supervision of the company’s geological team. Samples were securely transported to independent, ISO-certified analytical laboratories for preparation and analysis. Analytical work on drill core samples was completed by American Assay Laboratories, Sparks, Nevada, and ALS Chemex – Geochemistry Division, Tucson, Arizona.
Gold analyzes were completed by fire testing with atomic absorption or gravimetric endpoints, while multi-element analyzes were completed using ICP methods after four-acid digestion.
The Company’s Quality Assurance and Quality Control (“QA/QC”) program included the routine inclusion of certified reference standards, blanks and duplicate samples into the sample stream at regular intervals. Laboratory analytical procedures also include internal QA/QC protocols consistent with industry best practices.
Reported drilling intercepts represent well core lengths. True performances are currently unknown due to the limited current understanding of the exact geometry and orientation of metallic structures.
