Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 12, 2026) - Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK) (OTCQX: KDKCF) (FSE: 5DD1) (the "Company" or "Kodiak") today provides an update on its fully funded 2026 exploration program at its 100%-owned MPD copper-gold porphyry project in southern British Columbia. A recently completed 3D Induced Polarization ("3D-IP") survey identified a large, new exploration target adjacent to the east of the South deposit in an area with limited historical work. In addition, several of the 36 prospective exploration targets identified to date will be evaluated by drill testing as part Kodiak's 2026 exploration program. "Our 2026 exploration program continues to advance well, and we are encouraged by the results we are seeing to date," said Claudia Tornquist, President and CEO of Kodiak Copper. "The newly identified 3D-IP anomaly is particularly exciting, as it represents a large geophysical target that could indicate an extension of the South deposit.
