CALGARY, ALBERTA, March 17, 2026 – TheNewswire - Kairos Gold Inc. (“Kairos” or the “Company”) announces that its Board of Directors has approved, as of March 13, 2026, the issuance of 1,200,000 stock options (the “Options”) to certain officers and directors of the Company.

The Options are exercisable at a price of $0.20 per common share for a term of five years from the date of grant, being March 13, 2026, and were issued pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan, which has been previously approved by the shareholders of the Company. These Options represent the first grants made under the Company’s stock-based compensation plan, and accordingly, are the only stock options currently outstanding.

The Options are subject to the terms of the stock option plan and applicable securities laws.

In addition, the Company also announces that it has extended the expiry date of an aggregate of 326,250 common share broker warrants (the “Warrants”) issued in connection with the closing of a non-brokered private placement announced on February 27, 2025.

The Company has extended the expiry date of the Warrants by an additional six months, from February 20, 2026, to August 20, 2026 (the “Warrant Extension”).

Management believes the Warrant Extension is appropriate as the Warrants were earned by the brokers in connection with the Company’s 2025 private placement. The 2025 private placement closed in three tranches, with the final tranche closing on February 27, 2026.  Given the significant time between closings, the Company has agreed to extend the term of the Warrants in order to better align the expiry dates between the various tranche closings.
