Kingman Permits for Additional 16-Hole Drill Program at High-Grade Mohave Gold Project and Historic Rosebud Mine Site
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 20, 2026) - Kingman Minerals Ltd.(TSXV: KGS) (OTCQB: KGSSF) (FSE: 47A1) ("Kingman" or the "Company")is pleased to announce that the Company has received approval for an additional 16-hole exploratory drill program in and around the historic Rosebud Mine site. The addition of 16 new drill holes is designed to systematically expand known mineralized zones, test priority step-out targets, and evaluate deeper structures that may represent the core of the system.

"Historically, these systems demonstrated strong gold and silver mineralization at surface and underground in the Rosebud Mine, yet modern exploration techniques have barely scratched the surface of what we believe is a much larger, structurally controlled gold system at depth. With 16 additional drill holes targeting extensions of known mineralization and new high-priority zones, we are positioning the project for meaningful discovery and rapid advancement. Located in a proven gold district near Kingman, Arizona, and surrounded by active operations, we see strong potential and upside," stated Interim CEO & Director, Simon Studer.
Kingman has proposed sixteen prospecting directional core holes from eight pads (2 holes from each pad) with associated access on federal surface and mineral, under the management of the Bureau of Land Management - Kingman Field Office (BLM), centred approximately 16.5 miles northwest of Antares, Mohave County, Arizona. The sixteen prospecting core holes are proposed to a maximum depth of 250 feet (77 meters) within a southeast to northwest trend focused on historic exploration data, effectively exploring four federal lode claims for metallic resources while minimizing overall surface disturbance. The proposed exploration project, coupled with existing data from historic exploration, would facilitate development of a 3D image of the geologic structure and stratigraphy underlying the project area and estimates of resource quantity and quality.

ABOUT
Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: KGS) is a publicly traded exploration and development company focused on precious metals in North America. The company's flagship project is the fully owned historic Rosebud Mine, located in the Music Mountains, Mohave County, Arizona. High-grade gold and silver veins were discovered in the area in the 1880's and were mined mainly in the late 20's and 30's. Underground development on the Rosebud property included a 400-foot shaft and approximately 2,500 feet of drifts, raises, and crosscuts. The company believes that to explore the full potential of the area, drilling and sampling along strike and depth extensions of existing and additional vein structures is essential.
