K2 hits high-grade silver, gold, copper at Morningstar

2,737 g/t Ag, 4.37 g/t Au, 2.42% Cu: C0105155; 1,420 g/t Ag, 7.44 g/t Au, 1.34% Cu: C0105158; 618 g/t Ag and 23.2% Cu: C0105366

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- K2 Gold Corporation ( TSX-V: KTO | OTCQX: KTGDF | FSE: 23K ) (“K2 Gold” or the “Company”) today announced results from 613 rock samples from the Morningstar Target collected as part of the Company’s ongoing 2026 surface exploration program at its projects in Inyo County, California. Morningstar is located approximately 7 kilometres from the Eastside Gold Trend at the Mojave Project , where K2 is currently conducting its 2026 drill program and recently reported high-grade gold intercepts here .

The 2026 surface exploration program was designed to build upon K2’s previous exploration and historical work within the 2,000-metre by 800-metre Morningstar mineralized corridor through systematic sampling of high-priority targets. Results from the program have identified and confirmed widespread polymetallic mineralization, including discrete trends of high-grade silver, gold and copper values from grab and chip samples.

The new surface results further demonstrate the broader exploration potential of the region and highlight Morningstar as an important target area within the Company’s growing pipeline of prospective mineralized zones.

Highlights:

New results are from samples collected within the northwest–southeast-trending mineralized Morningstar corridor, and encompass the H Zone, B Zone, Ignacio, and newly-identified R-Zone targets.

Morningstar hosts multiple styles of mineralization, including skarn and carbonate-replacement mineralization, polymetallic Au-Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu veins and intrusion-hosted gold mineralization.

232 samples collected generated assay results greater than 0.10 g/t Au , 96 samples > 10 g/t Ag , and 66 > 0.2% Cu
