VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- K2 Gold Corporation (“K2” or the “Company”) ( TSX-V: KTO | OTCQX: KTGDF | FSE: 23K ) today announced the results from four additional drill holes completed at the Dragonfly Zone at its 100% owned Mojave Project . Results from these four holes drilled off the second pad of the 2026 program confirm the presence of multiple stacked structures hosting high-grade oxide gold in a 40m step back to the west of K2’s 2020 discovery intercept.

The Dragonfly Zone is located 1.5km south of the undrilled Gold Valley target (rock samples to 375 g/t Au), 2km north of the Newmont target, and midway along the >6.5km long Eastside Gold Trend, a broad mineralized trend which has been identified by K2 sampling and limited historical drilling (see NI43-101 Technical Report ).

23 holes have been completed to date for 4182m of a fully permitted and fully funded 14,000m campaign, with drilling currently in progress at the Newmont Zone. Results from 16 additional K2 drill holes are pending.
