Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 1, 2025) - K2 Gold Corporation (TSXV: KTO) (OTCQB: KTGDF) ("K2 Gold" or the "Company") today announced that the United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for K2's Mojave Exploration Drilling Project in Inyo County, CA. This milestone follows rigorous independent review, over 100 days of public comment and scoping, and consultation with local communities representing a significant step forward in de-risking and advancing one of the most compelling exploration projects in the United States.
The statement below was taken directly from the BLM News Release announcing the issuance of the final analysis for mineral exploration in Inyo County:
The proposed project supports DOI Secretarial Order 3418 - Unleashing American Energy, by encouraging exploration and production on federal lands to meet the needs of American citizens.

Highlights:
- The Final EIS reflects years of diligent environmental and cultural assessment, technical evaluation, and meaningful stakeholder engagement, helping to de-risk and advance Mojave toward its next phase of discovery.
- K2 is anticipating a new phase of drilling to commence in early 2026. The program is fully funded.
- Further details of the 2026 Mojave exploration program will be released in the near future.
"Today represents a major milestone for the Mojave Project," stated John Robins, Executive Chairman of K2 Gold. "Mojave represents one of the most exciting undeveloped gold prospects in the USA. Its numerous shallow, high-grade oxide gold occurrences in the Eastern Target Area have only had limited drilling, with multiple historical drill holes-52 in total-reporting intervals characterized as ore-grade gold in the original exploration records."
"Growing up in this community taught me that responsible development only succeeds when the public is heard and respected - whether from ranchers, local families, small businesses, or cultural advocates. Throughout the Mojave review process, local residents have shown us what matters most to them, and that input has directly shaped how this project moves forward. The Final EIS reflects a shared commitment to protecting what makes this place special while creating opportunities that support the people who live and work here.", stated Carolyn Clark Loder, K2 Director.
Additional Corporate Updates
- 100% Ownership: K2 has executed the Option Agreement for Mojave and holds full ownership of the Project.
- Treasury Position: Wth the recent exercise of 30,701,000 warrants through October 24, 2025, K2's treasury is currently at $10.8 million, positioning the company to advance the next phase of exploration at Mojave.

Mojave Eastern Target Area
The Eastern Target Area at Mojave is the focus of the FEIS and hosts a 4km long, north-south trending fault system. This fault system hosts high-grade, oxide gold at the Newmont, Central, and Dragonfly targets.
K2's upcoming drill program is designed to expand upon previous high-grade oxide gold results, including highlight intercepts from the 2020 RC drill program. A total of 22 drill pads will be utilized, with drilling to commence at the Dragonfly target to follow up on K2's standout 2020 intercept of 86.87m of 4.02 g/t Au from surface. (See historical drilling highlights in Table 1 and Table 2).
