King Copper Discovery Corp. Ongoing Onsite Work Identifies Multiple New High Priority Targets

King Copper Discovery Corp. (" King Copper ", or the " Company "; KCP-TSXV, TBXXF-OTCQB, 3RI-FSE) is pleased to report on continued progress onsite at the Company's Colquemayo Project in Peru.

In anticipation of an upcoming and fully funded 15,000 metre drill program, Company geologists are onsite relogging and reinterpreting historic drill core.

Relogging and reinterpretation of the historical drill core covering approximately 4 km of the known 12km mineralized corridor has been completed for 12,346m in 31 holes in the Amata-Cairani zone, 7,287m in 30 holes at the Coripuquio zone, while 4,763m in 16 holes from Yanarico zone are pending.

Multiple new high priority drill targets were generated based on geology, geochemistry, and geophysics. A field crew is currently mobilizing for an October program to complete validation of these drill targets generated.

The road-accessible project, of which the Company has an option to earn a 100% interest, covers 6,600 hectares with copper-gold-silver mineralization in high-sulphidation epithermal systems hosted by phreatomagmatic and hydrothermal breccias that have been emplaced into Miocene to Pliocene andesitic volcanic rocks. Intense hydrothermal alteration has been mapped over an area of 12 km by 3 km.

Historic drill results from Colquemayo (see King Copper News Release dated July 3, 2024 for details) include an intersection that returned:

  • 237.3 m @ 2.4 % Cu, 0.08 g/t Au & 10 g/t Ag , including
    • 161.2 m @ 3.4% Cu, 0.09 g/t Au & 14 g/t Ag , and
    • 31.3 m @ 14.8% Cu, 0.2 g/t Au & 47 g/t Ag .

Current interpretation of data indicates the potential for multiple porphyry discoveries, including the Amata-Cairani and Coripuquio target areas, where most of the historic drilling was completed.
