Multiple U-Pb and Re-Os dates between 190-186 Ma establish that the Hank-Mary district formed within a minimum 4-million-year period during a key regional gold-rich mineralization window. The closest age porphyry deposit is Mitchell (KSM), the largest Cu-Au porphyry deposit in Canada and the closest age epithermal deposit is Brucejack Au-Ag.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2026 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR)(FSE:970)(OTCQB:KGFMF) ("Kingfisher" or the "Company") is pleased to announce new U-Pb zircon and Re-Os molybdenum geochronology results from the Hank-Mary district on its 933 km² HWY 37 Project, Golden Triangle, British Columbia. The initial results demonstrate that magmatic-hydrothermal activity across the Hank-Mary district is part of highly fertile and gold-rich mineralizing time in the region. These dates overlap with established ages for the Mitchell porphyry deposit at the nearby KSM project, the largest undeveloped Cu-Au porphyry deposit in Canada and is close to the age of the Brucejack epithermal Au-Ag deposit (Table 1 & Figure 1 - 3).

Key Highlights:

Similar age as Mitchell Cu-Au porphyry deposit: Porphyry mineralization at Hank, Williams & Mary (~190-186 Ma) overlaps with the Mitchell deposit (~196-189 Ma). Similar timing to Brucejack Au-Ag epithermal deposit: Epithermal gold mineralization at Hank (~188-184 Ma) ties closely with the Brucejack deposit (~184-183 Ma). One large system: Ages from Hank, Mary, and Williams all fall within the same range, suggesting a single, large mineralizing system that defines the district. Geological age as a fertility indicator: These ages match the Early Jurassic Texas Creek intrusive suite of rocks, known for hosting major porphyry deposits in the Golden Triangle.

Dustin Perry, CEO and President of Kingfisher, states, "These initial geochronology results validate our exploration model and confirm our belief that the Hank-Mary district represents a large, fertile porphyry system. The confirmation that mineralization across Hank, Mary, and Williams falls within the same Early Jurassic window as the Mitchell and Brucejack deposits highlights strong parallels to two of the most significant gold-rich systems in Canada."https://storage.googleapis.com/accesswire/media/1161781/figure-1--golden-triangle-tenure-map-april--geochron-nr.jpg·Kingfisher Metals Corp.

Geochronology Results

Two complementary dating methods applied across the Hank district from three studies:

Story Continues

U-Pb zircon geochronology constrains the crystallization age of host intrusions, the timing of magma emplacement, and is performed on zircon mineral separates from intrusive rock samples.

Re-Os molybdenite geochronology directly dates ore-forming hydrothermal events by measuring the radioactive decay of rhenium to osmium in molybdenite (MoS₂), a common porphyry mineral. Molybdenite often precipitates from later-stage hydrothermal fluids during mineralization, Re-Os ages are interpreted to reflect the youngest ages of porphyry mineralization. The results in Table 1 present new data from the British Columbia Geological Survey research by Roddy Campbell presented at Rock Talk 20262, new data from Kingfisher Metals and includes one previous result from the Williams deposit.

Interpretation: District and timing relative to the Mitchell and Brucejack deposits

District Scale

The similar-age results across Hank, Mary, and Williams (~190-186 Ma) are consistent with a district-scale magmatic centre capable of generating multiple porphyry deposits, analogous to the multi-phase, multi-centre architecture of the world's largest porphyry districts.https://storage.googleapis.com/accesswire/media/1161781/fig-3goldentrianglekfr-revised.jpg

Figure 3:Major magmatic and mineralization age groups in the Golden Triangle region (after Campbell, 2026, British Columbia Geological Survey). Hank-Mary and KSM data shown for comparison.

Mitchell

The Mitchell deposit (KSM project) has an interpreted span of mineralization ~192 to 190 Ma with youngest magmatism ending around 189 Ma4. Early results from the Hank district indicate porphyry mineralization is between 190 and 186 Ma, with overlap in age with the Mitchell porphyry. Mitchell is the closest in age porphyry system in the region, located approximately 75 km from Hank, and is Canada's largest undeveloped Cu-Au deposit. This time window is considered highly prospective.

Brucejack

Epithermal gold at Hank emplaced after ~188 and before 184 Ma5. This timing ties closely with the nearby Brucejack deposit, where epithermal Au - veins are formed between 184-183 Ma6. Brucejack is the only known system in the region with this timing, making it a strong analogue for Hank. However, more work is needed to better define the exact age of gold mineralization at Hank.

Background: Geological Age and Porphyry Fertility

New and recently published geochronology places the Hank district in one of the most fertile periods in BC, between Mitchell porphyry (KSM) and Brucejack epithermal Au-Ag deposits. Within these prospective time windows in the region, multiple deposits can be mineralized simultaneously across a large district that is fed by a common district-scale magmatic hydrothermal system.

Geological age is a powerful predictor of porphyry copper-gold and epithermal Au-Ag fertility. In the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia, some of the most significant Cu-Au porphyry deposits and epithermal Au-Ag deposits which include the world-class KSM system and nearby Brucejack deposit are genetically linked to Early Jurassic (~196-185 Ma) Texas Creek magmatism (Figure 3).

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / April 16, 2026 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR)(FSE:970)(OTCQB:KGFMF) ("Kingfisher" or the "Company") is pleased to report the delineation of a new porphyry drill target at the Turquoise target area (Figures 1-3). Interpretation of recently updated geophysical inversion datasets1 highlight a compelling subsurface target within the Company's 933 km² HWY 37 Project, located in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia.

Key Highlights:

New near-surface porphyry copper - gold target identified at the Turquoise target area characterized by a 0.5 by 2.0 km chargeability anomaly. The magnetic vector amplitude inversion (MVI), direct current (DC) resistivity and the Mobile MagnetoTellurics (MMT) resistivity datasets all support the core target domain (Figure 2). Majority of target area is covered by a landslide and glacial till, interpreted to cover the core porphyry alteration target with only discrete lateral alteration expressions at surface (Figure 1). Porphyry proximal indications include advanced argillic mineralogy (dickite and vuggy silica) on surface and high pyrite abundance near geophysical core target domain (Figure 1). Target is near-surface and drill ready.

Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher, states, "The Turquoise target is a direct result of our systematic exploration approach, which continues to unlock new opportunities across this underexplored yet highly prospective region of the Golden Triangle. The target is located within the emerging Hank-Mary district and only ~6 km from existing infrastructure. Turquoise represents a compelling new drill target that we're excited to test this summer as we continue to build a strong pipeline of high-quality targets across the HWY 37 Project. "Figure 1: Plan overview of the Turquoise Porphyry Target and Section A-A' Location·Kingfisher Metals Corp.Figure 2: Cross-section Turquoise Porphyry Target IP-chargeability, MVI amplitude, MMT resistivity, DC-resistivity results, and a compilation summary interpretation.

Turquoise Porphyry Target

A new porphyry target has been identified ~3.4 km east of the Hank Porphyry discovery hole (HW-25-011). The target is centered on a 0.5 by 2.0 km chargeability anomaly (> 12.0 mV/V) and is supported by the recent MMT inversion, and magnetic inversion products1. Geophysical patterns define a possible fluid upwelling or structural root to the anomaly, supported by coincident geophysical signatures and surface geology mapping. The scale of the target area is approximately 1 by 3.4 km, elongated to the northeast.

Geophysical Highlights:

IP Chargeability: A large, coherent chargeability anomaly extends to surface and is spatially coincident with mapped pyrite alteration. The anomaly forms a volume approximately 0.5 km wide, 0.5 km deep and 2.0 km long and could define a broad sulphide-rich system. The peak chargeability values are 25 mV/V. MVI Amplitude: A steep, low- to moderate-amplitude magnetic feature is interpreted to reflect a structural focus or a fluid flow pathway. This feature appears to focus on the core of the chargeability anomaly, refining the primary drill target. Resistivity (MMT and DC): Integrated resistivity datasets define classic porphyry-style architecture:

A mushroom-shaped, low-resistivity (conductive) cap with values ranging between 25-100 ohm * m and dimensions of approximately 1.0 km deep, 4.0 km wide and 6.0 km long, coincident with mapped clay-rich alteration. Underlying low- to moderate-resistivity domains are interpreted as potential porphyry stockwork zones, with the central "stem" representing a central fluid upwelling within a broad alteration system. Moderate resistivity at surface correlates with mapped siliceous advanced argillic alteration.

Story Continues

Surface Geology Highlights:

Mapping indicates a vector toward higher temperature alteration toward the core target. Advanced argillic mineralogy, including dickite and vuggy silica, has been identified above the chargeability anomaly and may indicate a porphyry-top position. Sericite-chlorite-pyrite-quartz alteration observed at surface within the core target area is consistent with porphyry-style alteration observed at the Hank porphyry. The projected surface expression of the core target is largely obscured by landslide and moraine cover. However, proximal outcrops report elevated pyrite contents (>5%), supporting the geophysical interpretation. Representative prospecting and rock sampling in the valley remain limited due to extensive till and landslide cover.Figure 3: Photograph of Turquoise Porphyry Target Area.

Kingfisher plc's (LON:KGF) earnings announcement last week was disappointing for investors, despite the decent profit numbers. We have done some analysis and have found some comforting factors beneath the profit numbers.

AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early.LSE:KGF Earnings and Revenue History April 9th 2026

Examining Cashflow Against Kingfisher's Earnings

Many investors haven't heard of the accrual ratio from cashflow, but it is actually a useful measure of how well a company's profit is backed up by free cash flow (FCF) during a given period. In plain english, this ratio subtracts FCF from net profit, and divides that number by the company's average operating assets over that period. You could think of the accrual ratio from cashflow as the 'non-FCF profit ratio'.

As a result, a negative accrual ratio is a positive for the company, and a positive accrual ratio is a negative. While it's not a problem to have a positive accrual ratio, indicating a certain level of non-cash profits, a high accrual ratio is arguably a bad thing, because it indicates paper profits are not matched by cash flow. To quote a 2014 paper by Lewellen and Resutek, "firms with higher accruals tend to be less profitable in the future".

Over the twelve months to January 2026, Kingfisher recorded an accrual ratio of -0.13. That indicates that its free cash flow was a fair bit more than its statutory profit. In fact, it had free cash flow of UK£1.0b in the last year, which was a lot more than its statutory profit of UK£245.0m. Kingfisher shareholders are no doubt pleased that free cash flow improved over the last twelve months. Having said that, there is more to the story. We can see that unusual items have impacted its statutory profit, and therefore the accrual ratio.

That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates.

How Do Unusual Items Influence Profit?

Kingfisher's profit was reduced by unusual items worth UK£163m in the last twelve months, and this helped it produce high cash conversion, as reflected by its unusual items. In a scenario where those unusual items included non-cash charges, we'd expect to see a strong accrual ratio, which is exactly what has happened in this case. It's never great to see unusual items costing the company profits, but on the upside, things might improve sooner rather than later. When we analysed the vast majority of listed companies worldwide, we found that significant unusual items are often not repeated. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. If Kingfisher doesn't see those unusual expenses repeat, then all else being equal we'd expect its profit to increase over the coming year.

Story Continues

Our Take On Kingfisher's Profit Performance

In conclusion, both Kingfisher's accrual ratio and its unusual items suggest that its statutory earnings are probably reasonably conservative. Looking at all these factors, we'd say that Kingfisher's underlying earnings power is at least as good as the statutory numbers would make it seem.
