Kingfisher Metals Intersects 38.50 g/t AuEq Over 8.8 Meters at HWY 37 Project
Initial rush assays yield 8.8 meters of 38.50 g/t AuEq at the HWY 37 Project as multi-rig drilling vectors toward a major copper-gold porphyry system in BC's Golden Triangle.

Finding visible gold while drilling toward a massive deep copper target is the kind of happy geological accident exploration teams dream about.
Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV: KFR | OTCQX: KGFMF) delivered precisely that scenario in its latest update, reporting initial rush assay results from its ongoing 2026 drill season at the flagship HWY 37 Project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle.
The headline result comes from drill hole HW-26-015, which pulled an impressive 8.8 meters grading 38.50 grams per tonne gold equivalent (g/t AuEq) starting from 462 meters downhole. Breaking down that equivalent number reveals a rich mineral assemblage: 20.33 g/t gold, 937.6 g/t silver, 2.98 percent copper, 11.08 percent zinc, and 0.99 percent lead. This high-grade polymetallic vein carrying visible gold sits inside a broader 27-meter mineralized interval grading 13.61 g/t AuEq running from 461 meters to 488 meters downhole.
What makes this intersection compelling for JuniorStocks investors is its structural context within the Hank target area. The drill hole was intentionally collared to test a deeper copper-gold porphyry system rather than shallow vein structures. As Kingfisher Metals Corp. President and CEO Dustin Perry highlighted, intersecting a vein of this grade while vectoring toward a deeper porphyry highlights the exceptional fertility of the Hank magmatic-hydrothermal engine. Due to heavy historical glaciation across British Columbia, fully preserved porphyry-epithermal systems are uncommon. Glaciation frequently strips away shallow epithermal structures, but Hank appears to have retained its complete vertical stack, spanning surface lithocap alteration and intermediate polymetallic veins down to deep porphyry mineralization.
This single 27-meter rushed assay represents the first analytical result from an aggressive regional program. Four diamond drill rigs are currently turning on site, with more than 9,500 meters completed or in progress across 17 drill holes within the Hank-Mary District. While standard multi-element assays remain pending for the remainder of hole HW-26-015 and subsequent holes, field observations indicate that the company is actively vectoring toward the high-temperature core of the system. Drill hole HW-26-019, the deepest hole executed at Hank to date, returned the visually strongest copper mineralization logged so far, including trace bornite in the upper 50 meters of the intercept.
This assay momentum follows major strategic support established earlier this summer, when major producer Barrick Mining Corp. (TSX: ABX | NYSE: B) completed a C$20.9 million investment to acquire a 9.9 percent equity stake in Kingfisher Metals Corp. With the vast majority of those exploration funds earmarked directly for deep targets at HWY 37, Barrick Mining and the exploration team possess substantial financial runway to execute this multi-rig campaign. Furthermore, Kingfisher Metals Corp. has bolstered its property portfolio by acquiring 30 square kilometers of new tenure adjacent to its Forrest Kerr Project, expanding its total land position in the Golden Triangle to 1,165 square kilometers.
With assay results pending for the majority of the 9,500 meters drilled to date, market participants will be watching closely to see if Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV: KFR | OTCQX: KGFMF) can turn these early high-grade vein intercepts and strong visual copper core logs into the Golden Triangle's next landmark mineral discovery.
