King Global Ventures Inc. has initiated a Phase 2 diamond drilling program at its Silver Cord Project located 68 miles north of Phoenix, Arizona. The program, contracted to Boart Longyear, will consist of six holes from two drill pads for up to 6,000 feet of drilling. This phase expands on the successful Phase 1 program conducted in late 2025, which confirmed the presence of a polyphase silver-lead-zinc-antimony vein system within the Spud Mountain stratigraphy.
The importance of this development lies in the validation of a potentially significant mineralized system. The Phase 1 program intersected multiple polymetallic intervals, with a highlight intercept of 9 feet grading 21.8 ounces per tonne silver, 1.0 g/t gold, 0.6% lead, 1.05% zinc, and 375 g/t antimony. These results indicate high-grade mineralization that warrants further investigation. CEO Robert Dzisiak stated that the full drilling review identified two different polymetallic intervals requiring additional drilling to extend strike length and prove continuity of grade.
For the mining industry and investors, the progression to Phase 2 drilling represents a critical step in resource definition. The program aims to expand understanding of the IP anomaly beneath Silver Cord, which could lead to increased resource estimates. The project's location in a historically productive mining region of Arizona adds geological credibility, as noted in the company's description of its broader portfolio available at https://www.kingglobal.gold.
The scientific rigor behind these findings is underscored by the involvement of a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Andrew Lee Smith, P.Geo., ICD.D, reviewed and approved the technical information, verifying sampling procedures, chain-of-custody protocols, and quality assurance measures. His review included examination of assay certificates from ALS Geochemistry, an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards, confirming the reliability of the analytical methods used.
The implications of this drilling program extend beyond the immediate project. Successful results could position King Global as a more significant player in the North American precious and base metals exploration sector. The company's focus on the Silver Cord Project, alongside its other assets like the Black Canyon Project in Arizona and the Mikwam Property in Ontario, demonstrates a strategic approach to building a diversified portfolio.

While the company emphasizes that historical resource estimates for other properties, like the Mikwam Gold Property, should not be considered current, the forward momentum at Silver Cord provides a tangible near-term catalyst. The Phase 2 program represents a calculated investment to advance a promising asset, with potential impacts on regional economic activity and the broader junior mining sector if mineralization proves to be extensive and continuous.
