The program includes a three-rig diamond drill campaign targeting porphyry Cu-Au and epithermal Au-Ag mineralization. Reasoning: Announcement of a large, fully funded exploration campaign across two projects, though no new assay results are provided in this release. - Positive factor: significant 15,000 m drill program - Positive factor: fully funded - Positive factor: targets priority porphyry and epithermal zones Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Story-specific tag Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program includes step-outs and testing of priority targets, but the primary focus is exploration/discovery. Evidence · text > The 2026 program will focus on step-outs from HW-25-011 ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (3) ### HW-25-011 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/kingfisher-announces-commencement-of-2026-exploration-program-at-hwy-37-and-forr--5e3ae97f-4c93-418b-ae7c-2f856a96610e#fact-drill-facts-0) HWY 37 · copper Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: HW-25-011 - Project: HWY 37 - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_bc - Reported Region: canada\_bc - Ticker: KFR #### Geometry - Grade: 0.15 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 425 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill #### QA/QC - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Review - Needs Review: Yes - Review Reason: historical\_restatement - Interp.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
