KORE Mining Ltd. announced Focus on Exploration At Imperial and Long Valley. The Company has recently submitted a second drilling Plan of Operations ("PO") – a drill permit application - to the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") for the existing Imperial gold deposit ("Imperial Zone"). The drilling ("Imperial Zone Drilling") is designed to provide technical information to support a feasibility study and mine permitting.

This PO is expected to trigger a Mineral Validity Examination ("MVE") of Imperial Zone lode claims. The Company will work closely with the BLM to complete the Mineral Validity Examination expediently and to start processing the Imperial Zone Drilling permits. KORE is also permitting regional exploration drilling at Mesquite East and Ogilvy, part of the Mesquite-Imperial-Picacho District ("District") via a second Plan of Operations ("ePO"). Mesquite East and Ogilvy are two of the ten highly prospective drill targets identified in the Imperial-Mesquite District to date.

The Mesquite East and Ogilvy ePO is being advanced. The cultural resource survey work has been paused due to the heat from desert summer with a plan to complete in the fall as temperatures decline. KORE also continues to fund stakeholder engagement in Imperial County with the objective to build support for the ACES initiative ("A Clean Environment for the Salton Sea").

The Company plans to build social license to operate by utilizing excess clean materials from the mine to remediate toxic dust /air pollution impacting communities local to the Imperial project.
