Kenorland Minerals and Auranova Resources Commence 2025 Fall Drill Program at the South Uchi Project, Ontario

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 7, 2025) - Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: KLD) (OTCQX: KLDCF) (FSE: 3WQ0) ("Kenorland" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of the Phase 2 diamond drill program at the South Uchi Project (the "Project"), located in the Red Lake District of Ontario and held under an option agreement with Auranova Resources Inc. ("Auranova").

2025 Fall Exploration Program

The Fall 2025 exploration program and budget have been approved by Auranova and will include up to 6,000m of drilling across 13 drill holes at the Papaonga target area. This second phase of drilling, a follow-up to the successful maiden drill program completed earlier in 2025 (see press release dated July 2, 2025), is designed to expand on the recently discovered gold-bearing structural corridors and test for additional structures concealed by deep overburden.

The current drill program includes a series of tighter step-outs surrounding hole 25PADD023, which intersected volcaniclastic and mafic volcanic rocks cut by strongly mineralised shear zones hosting quartz-carbonate stockwork with visible gold. These follow-up holes are designed to better define the geometry and continuity of mineralisation within this structural corridor. In addition, broader-spaced step-outs are being completed along the interpreted east-west trending deformation zone between holes 25PADD016 and 25PADD023, testing for lateral extensions of gold-bearing structures. The program also includes initial drill testing structures located to the northeast of 25PADD023, within areas of deeper overburden where no historical drilling has been completed and bedrock remains completely concealed. Collectively, these efforts aim to both constrain the geometries of the high-grade zone identified at 25PADD023 and expand the search space into previously untested portions of the deformation corridor.

Zach Flood, President and CEO of Kenorland, stated, "We're excited to return to South Uchi following a very successful maiden drill program earlier this year. The initial campaign confirmed widespread gold mineralisation in bedrock across multiple kilometres of strike. Among the most compelling results was along the eastern extent of the target area, where drilling intersected a strongly mineralised and altered shear zone hosting multiple generations of veining, sulphidation, and visible gold-hallmarks of a robust orogenic gold system. The current drill program will step out from this discovery as well as test additional targets concealed beneath thick overburden."
