Exploration Success: Discovery Hole at Crowe’s Nest Highlights
Potential Significance of the Western Limb of J-Fold
----- End of picture text -----
18 March 2025
-
While the primary focus of the drilling program in 2024 has been on improving confidence in the resource to support the FSU25, KGL continues to progress its understanding of the geological structures and mineralising systems at Jervois with each of the main deposits remaining open at depth.
-
Despite extensive drilling over the years, the Jervois exploration leases remain underexplored with significant upside potential due to their position along the crustal-scale Jervois Fault.
-
In Q4 2024, structural geologist, Dr Warwick Crowe, was re-engaged to undertake a site visit and review the latest geological and geophysical data and to provide an updated report on the exploration potential at Jervois. On the basis of this report, a final exploration hole (KJC684) for 2024 targeted a geophysical anomaly at Crowe’s Nest and confirmed a discovery with similar mineralisation to Reward (brecciated IOCG) highlighting the potential significance of the western limb of the J-Fold.
-
The discovery of a magnetite body on the western limb, with associated copper mineralization, supports the hypothesis that the Jervois Fault may have served as a primary pathway for mineralized fluids across the entire Jervois Project.
-
A downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) and other geophysical surveys are planned following the completion of the current Inversion study and update of the 2025 / 2026 exploration plan.
Crowe’s Nest and Scarp Trend Exploration Update
KGL Resources ( ASX:KGL ) is excited to report the drilling results of the last hole of 2024, KJC684, a discovery hole on the western limb of J-fold, at Crowe’s Nest prospect (Figure 1).
The Jervois project is positioned along the crustal-scale Jervois Fault with a unique mineralisation style blending SEDEX, VMS and IOCG characteristics. Exploration results to date demonstrate the rationale for pursuing a systematic approach to unlocking this project's immense value. In this regard, Dr. Warwick Crowe, a globally regarded structural geologist, was commissioned to provide a report on the exploration potential at Jervois and to provide directions for future work as part of the exploration planning process. Dr Crowe completed a site visit and field report, and on the basis of this report, a final exploration hole for 2024 was drilled at Crowe’s Nest.
The Crowe’s Nest and Scarp Trend, located on the western limb of the J-Fold, has been a persistent geophysical hotspot since KGL’s initial gravity and magnetic surveys in 2016 and 2017 (Figures 2 and 3). Additionally, soil sampling conducted in 2015 identified anomalous copper grades at the Scarp prospect, prompting follow-up drilling with three shallow RC holes, the deepest reaching only 100 meters. One of these legacy holes logged magnetite and returned elevated copper assay results.

Figure 2. Map of the Jervois Project displays the Aeromagnetic Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) on the left and the Residual Bouguer Gravity (curve and terrain corrected) on the right. Both gravity and magnetic data emphasize the significance of the western limb of the J-Fold.
The 2024 gravity and magnetic inversion models have once again highlighted the significance of the western limb of the J-Fold (Figure 3). A cross-section along the Reward-Crowe’s Nest trend from the 2024 magnetic inversion model suggests a connection between the Jervois Fault, a crustal-scale shear zone and the D3 related J structure fault-system on the eastern limb (Figure 4). Furthermore, the discovery of a magnetite body on the western limb, with associated copper mineralization, supports the hypothesis that the Jervois Fault may have served as a primary pathway for mineralized fluids across the entire Jervois Project (Figure 3). Notably, the fold exhibits a U-shape rather than the originally inferred J-shape.

The western limb of the J-fold has strong geophysical signatures suggesting high prospectivity.
A single RC hole, KJC684, was drilled at the northern end of the western limb of the J-Fold, where the geophysical anomalies are shallower along this trend targeting a geophysical anomaly at the Crowe’s Nest prospect.
The hole intersected three brecciated magnetite bodies, with the main intersection measuring 17 meters (from 205 to 222 m), thereby confirming the geophysical anomaly and returning anomalous copper assay results. The highest intersection is 0.15% copper (from 174 to 175 m).
Although significant sulphide mineralization was not intersected, the hole KJC684 is considered an exploration success. Trace sulphides were encountered, hosted in magnetite breccia and quartz-carbonate mixtures. The observed alteration sequence aligns with those identified at known deposits and along the eastern limb of the J- fold. The data suggests the potential presence of another ore body, supported by high magnetic susceptibility (MagSus) readings and elevated copper levels (based on pXRF readings) near the end of the hole. This new finding opens another 3km long western limb of the J-Fold (Scarp – Crowe’s nest trend) for exploration (Figure 2).
It is important to note that all thicknesses reported for hole KJC684 represent downhole thicknesses. As this is the first RC hole drilled in the area, no structural information is currently available.
The full assay results are provided in Table 1. The hole has been cased off with PVC in preparation for a downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) survey.

Important Insights for Exploration Strategy and Next Steps
Despite extensive drilling since KGL acquired the Jervois exploration lease in 2011, the Jervois tenements remain under explored with recent drilling focused on infill drilling and extending the resource and knowledge, at depth, for the current lodes.
Given the large scale and high-grade nature of the mineralising systems at Jervois, Dr. Crowe’s recent structure analysis and review of the exploration potential of the Jervois and UNCA Creek exploration leases has provided an updated framework for interpreting the geological model for copper mineralisation at Jervois with important insights that will help to refine the Company’s exploration strategy going forward as we seek to unlock this project's immense value.
The copper mineralisation distribution around the J-Fold occurs as a series of discrete, steeply plunging shoots broadly associated within the same stratigraphic package.
An updated analysis of the Jervois geology and geophysics data suggests a fluid migration model for the Jervois magnetite-copper mineral system that involves a deep, late tectonic, felsic intrusive source at depth intersecting the crustal scale Jervois Fault which provided a conduit for fluid migration to higher crustal levels. The line of fault intersection between the Jervois Fault and the J-Fold structure may have provided for more focused fluid ingress.
As shown in Figure 4., an interpreted cross section on magnetic inversion data across the J-Fold shows the Jervois Fault is the major structure in the area dipping to the east beneath the J-Fold. The intersection of the J- Fold with the Jervois Fault Zone may have enabled preferential fluid migration into the J-Fold structure. The line of fault intersections between the two structural domains would also have facilitated focused fluid ingress along the Jervois Fault and into the subsidiary systems.
Building on these insights, KGL has commissioned Viridien (formerly CGG) Multiphysics to undertake a comprehensive geophysics; gravity and magnetic inversion analysis utilizing advanced tools and technologies and the existing datasets for the Jervois and UNCA Creek exploration leases to identify high potential near mine, brownfield and greenfield exploration targets for future exploration programs. It is expected that the use of more cost effective advanced geophysical techniques and advanced modeling techniques of geophysical data may help to reduce the cost of future exploration programs.
A decision to undertake deeper diamond drilling of Crowe’s Nest, located approximately 2 kilometers west of Reward and targeting other geophysical prospects along the western limb of the J-Fold will depend on the results of the DHEM survey, inversion analysis, ranking of other prospects and other development priorities.

Atiqullah Amiri is a fulltime employee of KGL Resources. He has over 5 years of experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity being undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Amiri consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
