Kuya Silver Expands High-Grade Silver-Cobalt Mineralization at Silver Kings Project Near Cobalt

Kuya Silver Corporation has announced a second set of drill results from its 2024 exploration program at the Silver Kings Project near Cobalt, Ontario. Drilling has focused on expanding the high- to bonanza-grade silver-cobalt mineralization associated with the Angus Vein, initially discovered in 2023. Results indicate significant potential for increased tonnage and grade within a newly identified flexure zone containing interconnected “ladder” veins between the Angus and McNamara veins.

Key Highlights:

• Five of seven drill holes at the Campbell-Crawford target intersected visible silver-cobalt mineralization.

• The Angus Vein returned 1,372 g/t silver over 2.36 meters, within a broader interval grading 353 g/t silver, 0.11% cobalt (380 g/t AgEq) over 11.49 meters.

• The McNamara Vein, previously untested at depth, returned 92 g/t silver, 0.07% cobalt (110 g/t AgEq) over 0.84 meters, confirming mineralization outside of the primary flexure zone.

• Connecting ladder veins produced a 28.6-meter-wide mineralized corridor, with peak intervals of:

• 1,540 g/t silver, 2.41% cobalt (2,127 g/t AgEq) over 0.40 meters.

• 1,530 g/t silver, 1.93% cobalt (2,000 g/t AgEq) over 0.40 meters.

• The high-grade Campbell-Crawford structure remains open at depth, with indications that mineralization could extend at least 100 meters below surface.

Advancing Toward Resource Definition

“In two years’ time and with limited drilling, we’ve taken a grassroots discovery to the edge of definition drilling and a potential resource estimation,” said David Lewis, Vice President of Exploration at Kuya Silver. “This work confirms the high-grade nature of several of these veins, within a defined zone that remains open to depth and with room for expansion with several similar untested targets nearby.”

The Campbell-Crawford target has been a primary focus at Silver Kings since Kuya Silver made a bonanza-grade silver-cobalt discovery in 2023, with intercepts reaching 15,372 g/t silver over 3.34 meters. The 2024 program was designed to test high-grade mineralized “shoots” using Kuya Silver’s updated geological model of the Cobalt mining camp. The company is targeting vein flexures—bends in the primary veins that act as structural traps for high-grade mineralization.

Future Exploration Plans

Drilling in 2025 will continue testing the grade, density, and extent of the ladder veins between the Angus and McNamara veins. Geophysical surveys have identified multiple untested targets along the structural trend, suggesting additional mineralized zones may be present.

“If we’re successful in defining a resource at this property, it will be the first potentially economic discovery in the Cobalt mining camp in at least 50 years,” added Lewis.

The Campbell-Crawford structure, currently defined over 30 meters north-south, 40 meters east-west, and at least 20 meters vertical depth, is expected to grow as drilling continues. Historic mining records indicate potential for 100-meter extensions into the lower diabase contact. The next phase of drilling will refine the mineralization model and evaluate additional parallel structures that could further enhance the project’s potential.
