Kingman Minerals Ltd. announced that it has completed a project-scale, three-dimensional magnetic vector inversion ("3D MVI") model and has engaged Altar Drilling Inc. ("Altar") to carry out the proposed Phase III diamond drill program for its high-grade gold-silver Mohave Project ("Project") in Arizona. Magnetic data were collected over the Project area in December 2025 using a high-resolution drone-based airborne magnetic ("MAG") survey. Subsequently, the Company retained Ohio-based Fathom Geophysics LLC to process the magnetic data and complete the 3D MVI interpretation.
Work included staged filtering and inversion steps, including standard magnetic data filtering, two-dimensional structural detection, magnetic vector inversion, three-dimensional structural detection, and integrated structural and lithological interpretations. Based on this workflow, the 3D MVI model outlines the geometry and orientation of interpreted magnetic lineaments and boundaries across the Mohave Project area, including a population of northwest-trending lineaments broadly parallel to mapped vein orientations. Three-dimensional edge detection of the magnetization-vector amplitude was used to sharpen these boundaries and help constrain the continuity of the northwest-t trending lineaments.
A three-dimensional PDF visualization of the magnetic vector inversion model around the Rosebud Mine claims is available on the Company's website for reference. Phase III Drill Contractor Engagement. Kingman has engaged Tucson-based Altar Drilling Inc. to complete the Company's Phase III HQ diamond drill program at Mohave.
Altar is comprised of experienced team with extensive experience in diamond drilling for mineral exploration projects across the southwestern United States, including structurally complex terrains. The Phase III program comprises seven HQ-diameter diamond drill holes totaling approximately 815 metres (2,673 feet), as previously disclosed. The program is designed to test the southeastern and northwestern extensions of the Southwick vein corridor contiguous to the historic Rosebud Mine.
Drilling will be conducted from existing disturbances under the recently approved Bureau of Land Management Notice of Intent. Simon Studer, Interim CEO, President and Director of Kingman states: "With the drill permits in hand, the 3D MVI interpretation complete, and the drill contractor engaged, the next steps are mobilization and drilling. Mobilization is planned to commence immediately following receipt of final water-use authorization from the Arizona Department of Water Resources.
Subject to receipt of that authorization and timely mobilization of crews and equipment by Altar, drilling is expected to begin on or about February 25. Drill core will be logged, sampled, and processed under the supervision of the Company's technical team in accordance with industry best practices and applicable regulatory requirements. Samples are planned to be submitted to Skyline Assayers Inc. for analysis.
Technical Disclaimer. The magnetic survey and associated magnetic vector inversion (MVI) results identify variations in magnetic response and support interpretation of structural features and their continuity at depth. Magnetic data do not directly identify mineralization or economic potential.
All interpretations remain preliminary pending further geological work, including mapping and drilling. Qualified Person. The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Brad Peek, MSc, CPG, who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects).
