King Global Ventures Inc. has commenced a Phase 2 diamond drilling program at its Silver Cord Project located 68 miles north of Phoenix, Arizona. The program will consist of six holes from two drill pads for up to 6,000 feet of diamond drilling, with Boart Longyear contracted to complete the work. This phase expands on the initial drilling campaign conducted in late 2025.
The Phase 1 program successfully intersected multiple polymetallic intervals and confirmed the presence of a polyphase silver-lead-zinc-antimony vein system hosted within the Spud Mountain stratigraphy. A highlight intercept from that program included 9 feet at 21.8 ounces per tonne silver, 1.0 g/t gold, 0.6% lead, 1.05% zinc, and 375 g/t antimony. The initial drilling also provided important insight into the nature of the induced polarization anomaly beneath the Silver Cord target area.
Robert Dzisiak, CEO of King Global Ventures, stated that the company is excited about the Phase 2 program following the success of the initial drilling. The full drilling review indicates there are two different polymetallic intervals that warrant further drilling to extend strike length and prove continuity of grade.
The scientific and technical information in the announcement has been reviewed and approved by Andrew Lee Smith, P.Geo., ICD.D, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Smith conducted a comprehensive review of all available analytical data, geological logs, drill core photographs, and supporting documentation from the 2025 program. This verification work included confirmation of sampling procedures, assessment of chain-of-custody protocols, and evaluation of security measures implemented to ensure sample integrity.
The Qualified Person examined King Global's quality assurance and quality control 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. Smith also reviewed original assay certificates issued by ALS Geochemistry, an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards, confirming that analytical methods applied are suitable for the style of mineralization encountered at Silver Cord.
Geological interpretations presented in the release, including references to structural controls, alteration patterns, metal zonation, and evidence for multiple phases of hydrothermal mineralization, were confirmed as consistent with observed drill core, surface mapping, geochemical signatures, and assay data. These interpretations represent conceptual geological models based on current drilling and are supported by available data at this exploration stage.
