About Kenorland Minerals Ltd. (KLDCF)
Kenorland Minerals Ltd. is a Vancouver-based mineral exploration company specializing in project generation and early-stage exploration across North America. The company employs a systematic, data-driven approach to identify and develop high-potential greenfields projects, focusing on underexplored regions with significant geological potential. Its business model involves advancing these projects through phased exploration programs, often funded by exploration partnerships with major mining corporations, including Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd., Newmont Corporation, and Centerra Gold Inc.
Business Model and Revenue Streams
Kenorland's revenue model is built around exploration partnerships, royalty agreements, and equity stakes. The company often enters into joint venture or option agreements, where partners finance exploration in exchange for equity or royalty interests.

Additionally, Kenorland generates income through management fees and refundable mining tax credits.
Exploration Strategy
Kenorland is recognized for its systematic exploration methodology, which includes regional geochemical surveys, geophysical studies, and detailed mapping. The company focuses on greenfields projects, targeting orogenic gold systems, nickel sulfides, and other mineralized systems in geologically favorable regions like the Abitibi greenstone belt in Quebec, the Red Lake District in Ontario, and the Thompson Nickel Belt in Manitoba. Its flagship projects include the Frotet Project in Quebec, where it holds a 4% NSR royalty, and the South Uchi Project in Ontario, currently under an option agreement with Auranova Resources Inc.

BBA Consultants has been engaged to conduct a comprehensive scoping study, which includes preliminary cost estimates and necessary baseline environmental and technical assessments. The study will facilitate year-round exploration activities and support permitting for an underground exploration decline aimed at delineating the Regnault Gold Deposit. Environmental studies will focus on flora, fauna, and water quality, while technical studies will assess ground and water conditions. Completion of these studies is expected by early 2025, with resource estimates anticipated by late 2025.

Kenorland Minerals has announced the final results from its 2024 winter drill program at the Frotet Project in Quebec. The program included 27 drill holes, totaling 18,448 meters. Key highlights include:
24RDD197: 4.70m at 24.16 g/t Au incl. 0.40m at 261.20 g/t Au at R2
24RDD215: 9.50m at 9.10 g/t Au incl. 1.20m at 45.92 g/t Au at R6
The results confirmed significant mineralization in the R1, R5, R6, and R7 structures, with some veins showing as much as 163.70 g/t Au. The data will contribute to updating the geological model, potentially leading to a maiden resource estimate. Broad-spaced infill and step-out drill holes along the R6 structure defined mineralization over approximately 1,300m E-W and 300m down dip. In the R11 trend, mineralization extends to vertical depths of 1,050m below the surface. CEO Zach Flood sees this as a milestone for the high-grade Regnault gold deposit.
