Howard Project Drill Testing Three Significant Gravity Anomalies

VANCOUVER – King Global Ventures Ltd. reported exploration plans to drill-test three significant gravity anomalies recently identified at its 100%-optioned Howard Copper Project in central Arizona. These anomalies which identified in a post-drilling geophysical survey, represent well defined targets located south of the historic Howard Mine workings, directly along the vector of improving mineralization identified in the most recent drilling.
The Company’s 2025 Phase I diamond drill program (20 holes, 8,000 feet) confirmed the presence of two distinct volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) horizons within the Spud Mountain Formation. The strongest copper-gold-zinc-silver intercepts occurred in the southernmost drill holes, beyond the limits of the historic Howard Mine. These results confirmed that mineralization improves to the south and remains open at depth and along strike. Following the Phase I drill program, ALS Geoanalytics completed a gravity inversion analysis that revealed three discrete, stratigraphically conformable gravity anomalies trending NNW–SSE and aligned with the regional volcanic stratigraphy.
Key findings include: 1) Three untested gravity anomalies lying south of the historic workings and beyond the Phase I drill fences. 2) Alignment with favorable volcanic-sedimentary horizons, suggesting potential stacked VMS lenses. 3) Coincidence with magnetic features in the southern anomaly, reinforcing the interpretation of preserved sulphide bodies. 
These gravity anomalies collectively represent a modeled subsurface density anomaly. While conceptual in nature, their size, geometry, and alignment with the mineralized vector highlight a prospective corridor for follow-up drilling.
In parallel with drilling, King Global will also undertake a series of ground-based programs to refine targeting and extend the known anomalies: 1) Ground EM survey to detect conductive sulphide bodies associated with the anomalies. 2) Soil geochemical sampling to define surface geochemical halos. 3) Follow-up gravity survey to extend and track the southernmost anomaly onto newly acquired claims south of the current project area. 
Building on the Phase I, King Global will immediately advance to Phase II drilling, designed specifically to test all three gravity anomalies south of the historic workings. The proposed program will comprise approximately 9 holes totaling 7,000 to 9,000 feet. Objective will be directly test the southern gravity anomalies, following the trend of improving mineralization encountered in Phase I. The exploration strategy is to confirm the presence of sulphide-rich horizons within these anomalies and expand the mineralized footprint southward. 
Rob Dzisiak, CEO, said, “The Phase I program proved that mineralization strengthens south of the historic Howard Mine. The identification of three large, untested gravity anomalies further along this vector gives us a clear next step. Phase II will directly target these anomalies, with the potential to expand the known mineralized system.”
