Rockface & Reward Drilling Update
-
Assays confirm high-grade copper at Rockface
-
Deep hole targeting Conductor 8 at Rockface intersects modelled mineralisation
-
Resource extension drilling at Reward continues to intercept mineralisation
-
Placement at a premium raises $6.73M to secure Jervois exploration program through 2018
KGL Resources Limited (KGL:ASX) (KGL or the Company) announces further high grade copper mineralisation from drilling and assays at the Rockface prospect, located at KGL’s 100% owned Jervois Copper Project in the Northern Territory and a $6.73 million placement.
KGL Executive Chairman Mr Denis Wood said:
“KGL recommenced exploration late January with two rigs making good progress at both Rockface and Reward. It is encouraging to see mineralisation intersected in the most recent hole in Conductor 8 at a vertical depth of over 800m.
“Several holes at Rockface have been designed to test the outer edges of the conductors where lower grade mineralisation is anticipated as we work towards a resource update later this year.
“Separately at Reward, along strike 5km north-east of Rockface, additional copper mineralisation has been delineated above Conductor R1 which is not currently in the existing resource.
“We are also extremely pleased to have secured a $6.73 million private placement, at a premium price of 40 cents to last closing price as of 14 February of 38 cents and with no fees, that will give us the financial security to complete the 2018 exploration program at the Jervois Copper Project.”
Placement
KGL is pleased to announce the raising of $6.73 million through a placement to an entity related to international mineral resources identity Mr Ernie Thrasher and to KGL’s existing major shareholder KMP Investments Pte Ltd (KMP).

www.kglresources.com.au
The placement comprises 12.5M new shares to Mr Thrasher at $0.40 cents per share to raise $5 million, and 4.32M new shares to KMP at the same price to raise $1.73 million. The price of the placement represents a 5% premium to yesterday’s closing price for KGL shares on the ASX and a 30% premium to the Company’s previous placement and entitlement offer last October.
The placement will be made pursuant to the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1, with the shares to be issued upon settlement on 2 March 2018.
Commenting on the placement, Mr Wood, said:
“Mr Thrasher’s investment – at a premium - is welcomed as a significant vote of confidence in KGL. As CEO and founder of the US company Xcoal Energy & Resources, Mr Thrasher is one of the world’s most highly regarded resource industry operators, investors and developers, and a senior figure in international resources marketing and government affairs. Ernie’s strategic global finance, trade and shipping contacts will be of great value to KGL in our plans to enter the business of copper production.
“The continued strong support of KMP for KGL as the Company’s largest shareholder is greatly appreciated.
“In proceeding with the placement now, directors took into account the recent increased volatility of financial markets. The funds raised from the placement will secure KGL’s ability to complete the total current exploration program, enabling two drilling rigs to remain on site for the whole of 2018, and to complete the Environmental Impact Statement, an essential step towards project development at the growing Jervois Copper Project.”
Drilling Update
Rockface
Assays from drilling late last year in the eastern zone of Rockface confirm high grade copper with additional assays from this year’s drilling still pending.
Hole KJCD226W1
Hole KJD226W1 intersected two intervals of massive sulphide at Rockface. The upper portion of the first zone corresponds with the expected position of Conductor 6 and upper portion of the second zone corresponds with Conductor 8.
Significant intercepts included
-
6.62m @ 3.8% Cu, 0.72% Zn, 33.2g/t Ag, 0.24g/t Au from 590.72 m (C6)
-
4.18m @ 3.16% Cu, 0.32% Zn, 25.6g/t Ag, 0.25g/t Au from 607.57 m (C8)

www.kglresources.com.au
Hole KJCD227
Hole KJD227 intersected a 14.23m interval of chalcopyrite mineralisation at Rockface. A follow up DHEM survey confirmed this intersection was on the very eastern edge of Conductor 8
Significant intercepts included
- 14.23m @ 0.76% Cu, 7.5g/t Ag, 0.11g/t Au from 764.12m (C8)
Assays from holes drilled late last year in the western zone at Rockface also confirmed high grade copper.
Hole KJCD228
Updated DHEM modelling confirmed that Hole KJCD228 passed just beyond the eastern edge of Conductor 3 before intersecting a 17.37m interval of chalcopyrite mineralisation coincident with Conductor 5.
Significant intercepts included
17.37m @ 3.59% Cu, 16.1g/t Ag, 0.24g/t Au from 557.83m (C5)
Hole KJCD229
Hole KJCD229 was designed to test the mineralised boundaries of Conductor 3 and intersected mineralisation coincident with the lower and western edge of Conductor 3 and a second narrow zone of mineralisation, although not conductive, is coincident with the strike extension of Conductor 5.
Significant intercepts included
-
4.63m @ 1.78% Cu, 5.9g/t Ag, 0.06g/t Au from 546.06m (C3)
-
2.12m @ 1.9% Cu, 9.6g/t Ag, 0.08g/t Au from 580.65m
Hole KJCD230
Hole KJCD230, for which assays are pending, intersected a zone of mineralisation while targeting DHEM conductors at the eastern zone of Rockface. The intersection corresponds to the expected position of the extended conductor C8.
The mineralised zone occurs within a psammitic host unit, which has pervasive vein hosted magnetite alteration and carbonate veinlets. A semi-massive zone of sulphides occurs from 836.64 to 840.21m (Photographs 1 & 2). Within the mineralised zone, the late stage carbonate veinlets have remobilised mineralisation, resulting in disseminated blebs of chalcopyrite within veins.
Outside of this zone, sulphides occur as chalcopyrite-dominated, disseminated stringers or within late stage quartz and carbonate veins.

Reward
Hole KJCD234
Hole KJCD234 intersected a zone of mineralisation while targeting DHEM conductors at Reward. The hole intersection corresponds to the expected position of conductor R1.
The mineralised zone occurs within a psammitic host unit in association with massive brecciated magnetite. The semi-massive, breccia-matrix zone of sulphides occurs from 266.54 to 281m. This zone is split by an unmineralised pegmatite vein running through the middle from 274.19 to 274.63m.
Outside the zone of semi massive sulphides, mineralisation occurs as disseminated chalcopyrite, pyrite and trace galena along foliation planes. Assays are pending.
