(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 28, 2025) - Kodiak Copper Corp. (TSXV: KDK) (OTCQB: KDKCF) (FSE: 5DD1) (the " Company " or " Kodiak ") today reports that it has commenced an additional metallurgical testwork program for its 100% owned MPD copper-gold porphyry project in Southern British Columbia to build on the maiden test results received in Q2 2025 (see new release June 10, 2025 ).

The testwork program will include composite samples from six deposits and mineralized zones at MPD: Gate, Man, Dillard, West, Adit and South (see Figure 1). The testwork will focus on enhancing recoveries for both copper and gold through gold characterization studies and the optimization of rougher and cleaner flotation processes. The results from the program are expected in Q1 2026 and will be used to support Mineral Resource definition work and guide development of the project in the future.

Claudia Tornquist, President and CEO of Kodiak said, "We are pleased to initiate the next round of metallurgical testwork, an important de-risking step as we advance our MPD project. The program will build on the positive metallurgical results received thus far and is designed to optimize the recovery of both copper and gold, aiming to unlock further potential to enhance the project's Resource estimation and future economic prospects."

Kodiak has engaged JDS Energy and Mining Inc. ("JDS") to manage this metallurgical testwork program for MPD, with technical guidance from Kodiak advisor Mike Westendorf.
