Beaumont Exploration Corp. has returned gold values up to 219 parts per billion and base metal results including 519 parts per million copper and 1,020 parts per million zinc from its 2026 soil geochemical program at the Kain Property on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

The sampling program comprised 379 auger soil samples that expanded on previous survey work across the Main Grid and extended into adjacent target areas. The latest results reproduced previously identified anomalies and outlined additional exploration targets across the property.

Additional anomalous gold values of 212, 196, 151, 132, 119, 112, 106 and 101 parts per billion were recorded. The gold anomalies define several discrete clusters, featuring a northeast-trending corridor through the Main Grid and into Grid 2. The zinc results define a strong northwest-southeast trending anomaly, while numerous copper samples exceeded 100 parts per million. Locally coinciding zinc, copper and cobalt anomalies point to multiple exploration targets controlled by structural and lithological features.

Historical MINFILE occurrences indicate that copper sulphides are associated with faults and shear zones, while sphalerite mineralization occurs within silicified limestone.

Beaumont holds a 100% interest in the Kain Property, located 17 kilometres east of Port Hardy. The company completed the initial phase of its 2026 exploration work program at the property in May, following exploration activities commenced in March by Rio Minerals Ltd. under the project's technical report recommendations.

Building on the 2026 soil program, Beaumont intends to conduct detailed geological and structural mapping, prospecting, selective rock sampling, additional infill soil sampling, and the evaluation of trenching and drilling targets.
