Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 27, 2025) - Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: KLDCF) (FSE: 3WQ0) ("Kenorland" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired, through staking, 125,430 hectares of mineral claims within the Onaman-Tashota Greenstone Belt in Northern Ontario (the "Kowkash Project") as well as 119,779 hectares of mineral claims located in Central New Brunswick (the "Atlantic Project"). In addition, Kenorland has entered into a purchase and sale agreement, dated May 26, 2025 (the "Purchase Agreement") with a private BC company pursuant to which Kenorland has purchased a 100% interest in 31,052 hectares of mineral claims adjacent to the Atlantic Project.

Zach Flood, President and CEO of Kenorland Minerals, states, "The recent additions in Ontario and New Brunswick continue the steady expansion of Kenorland's exploration portfolio into underexplored yet highly prospective regions of Canada. As demand for quality grassroots opportunities grows, we remain committed to applying our systematic approach to generate and advance new discoveries."

About the Kowkash Project

Kenorland acquired the 125,430-hectare Kowkash Project in northwestern Ontario through map staking. The Project covers a prospective terrane with relatively low exploration maturity, largely concealed by glacial overburden. It covers a portion of the Onaman-Tashota Greenstone Belt in the Eastern Wabigoon Sub-province of the Archean Superior Province. This underexplored greenstone belt is composed of a sequence of metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks intruded by syn- to post-tectonic plutons. The project area is transected by major regional structures, including splays of the Tashota-Geraldton-Terrace Bay deformation zone, and is prospective for orogenic and volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) mineralisation styles hosting high-grade Au, Ag, Cu, and Zn. Historic showings in the area, including the Marshall Lake VHMS and Louanna orogenic showings, have identified significant alteration systems and mineralisation indicating a fertile geological environment. The Kowkash Project represents a compelling opportunity for discovery in one of Ontario's lesser-explored greenstone belts. The Company plans to complete a first-pass regional geochemical sampling program during the 2025 summer field season.

About the Atlantic Project

In addition to the 31,052 hectares acquired through the Purchase Agreement, Kenorland acquired a further 119,779 contiguous hectares through map staking, bringing the total project area to 150,831 hectares. The Atlantic Project is situated within the northern Appalachian orogen of western New Brunswick, covering a highly prospective segment of the Gander and Dunnage zones-recognized for hosting a variety of gold and polymetallic deposits. The project area encompasses a diverse assemblage of Silurian to Devonian volcanic, volcaniclastic, and sedimentary rocks intruded by felsic to mafic plutons. This setting is prospective for epithermal, VHMS and intrusion related mineralisation styles hosting significant Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, and Cu. Key mineralised showings in the project area include the Williams Brook epithermal, Costigan Mountain epithermal, Sewell Brook VHMS, and Lewis Brook epithermal deposits. These occur within favorable structural corridors and lithologic contacts of the Tobique-Chaleur metallogenic belt, an emerging and active exploration district. The Atlantic Project area has seen limited historical work, presenting a unique opportunity for discovery through modern, systematic exploration approaches.
