Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 19, 2023) - Kingsview Minerals Ltd. (CSE: KVM) (FSE: 0L4) (the "Company" or "Kingsview") is pleased to announce that spring drilling has begun at the Company's Echum Project, south of Alamos Gold's Island Gold Project in the fast-growing Wawa Gold Corridor of northern Ontario.

Spring drilling will centre around the critical metals targets identified on the 7,691-hectare gold, silver, and critical metals project. The drill rig is now onsite (Figure 1) at the Smoke Target, which was recently identified through interpretation of the 2021 airborne VTEM (Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic) and 2023 IP (Induced Polarization) surveys (Figure 2).

The 600-metre program utilizing a minimum of two drill holes aims at intersecting both anomalies from the above mentioned 2021 surveys (Figure 3).

James Macintosh, President and CEO, commented: "We are pleased to be drilling our first hole at the Echum Project, and it's on track to intersect the interpreted disseminated sulphide halo near the surface. We will then continue deeper to intersect what we interpret as a potential massive sulphide body within the disseminated halo. This initial phase of drilling will be followed by additional programs designed to target the numerous anomalies found in the geophysical surveys. The team is optimistic about the possibility of discovering critical metals at Echum."
