CALGARY, ALBERTA - TheNewswire - June 15, 2026 - Kairos Gold Inc. ( TSX-V: KIRO ) (“ Kairos ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce the commencement of its Phase Three diamond drill program at the Oro Brillante concession, located within the Company's 100%-owned Las Garillas Project in the Coquimbo Region of Chile.

The Company confirms that drilling has commenced on drill hole OB-01-26 at Oro Brillante. The 3,100-metre diamond drilling program, comprising 10 planned holes, is designed to further define and expand the known mineralized footprint through targeted infill drilling and testing along the property's primary northwest-southeast structural corridor. Results from the campaign are expected to provide important data to support a future mineral resource estimate.

During site preparation and pad construction, the Company encountered multiple zones of alteration and strong oxidation within the drill area. These observations further support the Company's geological interpretation and the broader potential of the Oro Brillante project.

The geological characteristics observed during site preparation, including visible gold at surface, have been encouraging and continue to support our confidence in the project.
