Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. has returned assay results from seven additional drill holes at the Mirado Gold Project in Ontario, highlighted by a high-grade intercept of 20.29 g/t gold over 4.4 metres from 177.6 metres in hole KLM26-022, including 2.0 metres grading 44.72 g/t gold.

The ongoing drill program continues to test the South and North zones at the property, which the company acquired in March 2026 with a 100% undivided interest, securing an asset that hosts a historical inferred resource of 10.6 million tonnes at 1.29 g/t gold containing 442,000 ounces.

Step-out drilling in the South Zone successfully intersected broad, continuous mineralization. Hole KLM26-021 returned 0.34 g/t gold over 41.2 metres from 123.8 metres, alongside a deeper interval of 1.33 g/t gold over 18.0 metres from 265.0 metres. An 80-metre step-out hole, KLM26-024, returned multiple horizons including 0.32 g/t gold over 29.9 metres and 1.33 g/t gold over 18.0 metres. In the North Zone, hole KLM26-023 intersected 2.27 g/t gold over 9.1 metres from 37.9 metres, including 3.98 g/t gold over 5.0 metres.

The reported intercepts consistently occur below and adjacent to the historical resource shell, extending the mineralized footprint down-dip. Gold analyses for the half NQ core samples were conducted using Chrysos PhotonAssay technology at Paragon Geochemical.

“We continue to see broad, continuous bulk-tonnage style mineralization carrying significant, structurally controlled high-grade intercepts at Mirado,” said Stefan Sklepowicz, Chief Executive Officer of KLDC. “We continue to expand the resource footprint at Mirado and are strongly encouraged by the visuals in the first ten regional step outs across KL South.”

Beyond the immediate Mirado deposit, Kirkland Lake Discoveries has completed six regional holes targeting the MZ Zone located approximately 500 metres to the west, where drilling encountered intense silica-chlorite-epidote alteration with disseminated and fracture-filled pyrite. A further four regional test holes were completed southwest of Mirado, intersecting broad disseminated mineralization and fracture-filled chalcopyrite and pyrite associated with intense silica-potassic-hematite-epidote alteration. Assays for a total of twenty-two completed drill holes across the property are currently pending.

Stakeholders can review the drilling data through an interactive 3D model hosted by Mining Hub. The work forms part of the company's broader regional exploration pipeline, which recently included drilling at the KL West project within the surrounding district.
