(TSX.V:KDK, OTCQX:KDKCF) is focused on discovering copper, the most critical metal for the energy transition and AI. Kodiak is advancing its copper porphyry projects in Canada and the USA, which host known mineral discoveries with the potential to hold large-scale deposits. The Company was founded by Chairman Chris Taylor, the founder and CEO of Great Bear Resources which was acquired by Kinross Gold in 2022 for $1.8B. and is led by Claudia Tornquist (former GM at Rio Tinto). Kodiak is also part of Discovery GroupTM led by John Robins, one of the most successful mining entrepreneurs in Canada. The management team has shown the ability to raise capital while protecting a tight share structure. Kodiak Copper’s most advanced asset is the 100% owned MPD copper-gold porphyry project in the prolific Quesnel Terrane in south-central British Columbia, Canada, an established mining region with producing mines and excellent infrastructure. MPD exhibits all the hallmarks of a large, multi-centered porphyry district with the potential for future economic potential. The initial Mineral Resource Estimate published in 2025 outlines seven substantial deposits and underscores the scale and potential of the project. All known deposits remain open to expansion, and numerous targets across the property have yet to be tested. Kodiak continues to systematically explore MPD’s district-scale potential with the goal of delivering new discoveries and building further critical mass toward being the region’s next mine. The Company also holds the Mohave copper-molybdenum-silver porphyry project in Arizona, USA, near the world-class Bagdad mine.

Projects
["MPD\n\n## Project Overview\n\n- 100% owned, large land package (357 km2) in South-Central British Columbia, Canada. In an active mining region in the Quesnel terrane, British Columbia’s primary copper-producing belt. Adjacent to paved highways and with excellent infrastructure\n- The MPD Project was consolidated from multiple contiguous land packages since 2019, some of which have seen significant historic exploration—forming a large porphyry district that has never before been explored as a single project with modern methods\n- Nicola Belt geology with similar characteristics to the neighbouring alkalic porphyry systems at Hudbay’s Copper Mountain Mine to the south and New Gold’s New Afton Mine to the north\n\n## MPD Exploration\n\n- Historic drilling: 518 drill holes (73,027m) completed since the 60’s by previous operators. Copper and gold drill-confirmed across a large area. Mineralization from surface, historic drill holes rarely tested below 200m vertical depth\n- 192 drill holes (89,122m) completed since 2019 by Kodiak Copper\n- Discovery of the Gate Zone in Kodiak’s 2019 maiden drill program\n- In 2020, transformative discovery of a high-grade copper-gold zone within wider mineralized envelope of significant size at the Gate Zone, highest grades in the 70-year+ history of property\n- Best intercept of 535m of 0.49% copper and 0.29 g/t gold, including 282 m of 0.70% copper and 0.49 g/t gold, including 45.7 m of 1.41% copper and 1.46 g/t gold\n- Large drill programs in 2021 & 2022 (in total 48,000m) significantly extend the Gate Zone discovery to 1km x 350m, 900m depth and still open. Drilling continued to highlight significant copper-gold grades over substantial intervals\n- The 2023, 2024 & 2025 programs drill-tested multiple targets, aiming to build critical mass and demonstrate MPD’s size potential. Results have significantly expanded mineralization at the Adit, West, Man and South Zones\n- Kodiak’s exploration programs have shown that MPD hosts multiple kilometre-scale mineralized zones across the property, which include mineralization starting from surface and significant high-grade zones\n- Multi-phased environmental work plan includes water quality, hydrology, migratory/nesting bird, species at risk and incidental wildlife surveys. Progressive reclamation of all drill sites\n- Active engagement and information sharing with local First Nations. Local sourcing of supplies and services\n- Heritage surveys are conducted by local First Nations at all proposed work sites prior to any ground disturbance\n- We respectfully acknowledge that the MPD Project is located on the unceded homeland of the Nlaka’pamux and Syilx Okanagan Peoples’"]
