-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Australian Securities Exchange Announcement 18 February 2022

King River Resources Ltd (ASX:KRR) is pleased to announce its 2022 exploration targets for its Tennant Creek and Mt Remarkable Gold Projects, after the return of rock chip assays and interpretation of the 2021 geophysical results. The 2021 exploration program involved on ground reconnaissance exploration and airborne geophysical work across a range of targets with the aim of generating quality drill targets.

Unfortunately, the 2021 exploration season was severely disrupted by the various Covid protocols, rig availability, staff availability and long delays in receiving assay results.

Tennant Creek Targets:

  • The priority drill target in 2022 will be at the high-grade gold prospect ‘Kurundi’ Main, where previously announced (KRR ASX 5/3/21) rock chip grab samples returned multiple +10g/t Au results, some up to 17.25g/t Au, along a 2km mineralised trend that has never been tested with drilling.

  • The drilling would then move onto some coincident gravity and ground magnetic targets identified at the Lonestar Trend area immediately east of Tennant Creek gold field and within proximity to historic workings and outcropping ironstone trends.

  • Multiple magnetic high targets in the competitive Barkly Project Area may also be tested in 2022.

Kurundi

KRR is planning to commence RC drilling at the Kurundi Main high grade gold target in May this year.

The Kurundi Main prospect is situated within EL32200 and covers a part of the Kurundi Anticline and the main Kurundi historic gold workings (historic shaft and small pit) which have never been drill tested. The exploration plan would be to do several RC fences along and across the prognosed ~2km trend of this mineralised structure.

High grade gold results (previously reported KRR ASX 5/3/21) were returned from numerous positions along the vein with +5g/t Au results from 3 separate zones (shown in Figure 1): 17.25g/t Au and 16.25g/t Au (12m apart) from the northern zone over 700 NW of the main workings, 16.05g/t Au from the main workings, 13.55g/t Au from 200m SE of the main workings, and 6.43g/t Au from the south eastern zone over 800m SE of the main workings. An outcrop of veining in a historic pit had a dip of 60[o] to the southwest and the mineralisation is associated with quartz and goethite-hematite with varying amounts of malachite/azurite.

Tennant Creek East

Geophysical processing has revealed multiple quality geophysical targets within 2km and along strike of historical IOCG mines and ironstone outcrops. Geophysical results are summarized in Figures 3 – 7 below.

The area has previously been overlooked and sparsely explored due to very thin alluvial and Cambrian cover.

Of priority is the Lonestar Trend prospect which new gravity geophysical processing has revealed a trend of gravity anomalies that are only 700m along strike of the Mauretania/Hopeful Star (Figure 5) trend where Emmerson returned 20m @ 38.5g/t Au in a diamond drill hole and is currently working on resource modeling.

Also, very significant coincident gravity and Magnetic anomalies have been returned for the Lonestar East prospect area where a series of historic mines/ironstones (including Gigantic historic mine and Blue Moon historic open cut) associated with faulting and folding strike onto KRR’s EL31619. The gravity and magnetics reveal a folded sequence intersecting a NW trending fault with geophysical anomalism focused along these structures (Figure 6).

Work at Commitment and Area 5 also have shown coincident gravity and magnetic anomalies. 2019 drilling of the Commitment location gravity and magnetic anomalies revealed Warramunga equivalent rocks beneath shallow ~30m cover of the Georgina basin with geochemically anomalous ironstones.

Barkly Project

King River Resources holds over 1,600km[2] in the highly contended Barkly area – situated over unexplored prospective rock units buried beneath shallow cover between Tennant Creek and Mt Isa. Since late 2018, more than 17,000km2 of new mineral exploration licence applications have been made by industry over this previous vacant ground in the Barkly Tableland east of Tennant Creek, targeting copper and gold. KRR was one of the first to enter this area and start exploring.

Detailed airborne magnetics was flown over EL31634, in late 2021, as part of the NT governments “Resourcing the Territory” covering 50% of the survey costs. Results have revealed multiple significant magnetic anomalies along structural trends, beneath shallow Cambrian cover (Figure 7).

KRR is confident that these anomalies are associated with Warramunga equivalent rock units which are host to the IOCG gold deposits of the Tennant Creek Gold field. Fifteen historical holes were drilled at the western end of the tenement of which only one hole penetrated the cover (at 67m) intersecting a few metres of what was interpreted to be Warramunga Formation equivalent rocks before ending. Cover rocks are interpreted to range from only 67m to 100m across the tenement. These anomalies present quality IOCG targets within rocks shown to be Warramunga equivalent.

A VTEM Max survey has been booked to be flown over both EL31634 and EL31633 mid 2022 targeting both shallow stratiform copper deposits in the Cambrian cover units and IOCG deposits in the Warramunga units interpreted beneath. This will follow up on the magnetic targets identified in both tenements.

Tarragans Project

Reconnaissance exploration in the Kurundi -Tarragans area is planned in conjunction with the Planned 2022 Kurundi RC drill programme. Results from reconnaissance sampling late 2021 was disappointing with only one sample returning grades over 0.1g/t Au (Table 1). However, the results give insight into the host structure / stratigraphic unit and will direct further reconnaissance sampling work planned for 2022 which includes the Priesters historical workings northwest of Kurundi Main and the Tarragans historic workings.

`

Mt Remarkable

Exploration at Mt Remarkable during 2021 targeted its regional tenement holdings covering ~175km of prospective Whitewater volcanic rocks which are host to high grade gold mineralisation at KRR’s Mt Remarkable main project (with previously announced best diamond drill result of 4m @ 113g/t Au at the Trudi epithermal vein) and Hunter Project (held by WA Mining Resources) where historic high-grade gold values of up to 50.65g/t Au have been returned from epithermal quartz veins.

KRR’s reconnaissance exploration identified several new target areas including the Middle Branch area where 2021 helicopter reconnaissance rock chip grab sampling returned a high-grade gold result of 7g/t Au (announced in KRR ASX release 13 October 2021) with latest follow up work returning 9.3g/t Au from a second vein (Table 1 and Figure 8).

The focus of Drilling at Mt Remarkable in 2022 will be:

  • RC Drilling of Middle Branch where previously announced rock chip grab sample returned high grade gold result of 7g/t Au (KRR ASX release 13 October 2021) and follow up sampling returned 9.3g/t Au (Table 1, Figure 8) and RC Drilling at Tunganary where a complex epithermal vein system has been identified with anomalous gold values (Figure 9).

  • RC Drilling of Mt Remarkable Main Prospects including the Trudi Offset area and Jennifer North where high-grade gold was intersected during 2020 RC drilling.

Based on these encouraging results, at Middle Branch and Tunganary, further RC Drilling is being planned to the test the high-grade values returned from veins at the Middle Branch area and will also test the complex gold mineralized vein system at Tunganary Prospects during the dry season.

Further RC drilling is also proposed at the Mt Remarkable main project area including the Jeniffer north vein where RC drilling in 2020 returned a high-grade intersection of 2m @ 8.38g/t Au including 1m @ 14.8g/t Au within a 5m zone @ 3.45g/t Au (KRR ASX release 27 January 2021) – Figure 10 below. This intersection is 3km from the main Trudi Vein, outside of the main project Area and is the first +10g/t gold result outside of the Trudi Main prospect which is very encouraging for exploration of other veins at the main Mt remarkable project area and on other KRR exploration tenements in the region.

Reconnaissance exploration of the priority areas within KRR’s regional tenements will also continue.

Appendix 1: King River Resources Limited JORC 2012 Table 1 The following section is provided to ensure compliance with the JORC (2012) requirements for the reporting of exploration results: SECTION 1 : SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
Techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes,
or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be
taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
This ASX Release dated 18 February 2022 reports on KRR’s exploration plans for 2022, rock
chip sampling programme at its Mt Remarkable Project and Rock Chip Sampling and geophysics
at its Tennant Creek Project.
Surface rock chip sampling/grab sampling. Grab Samples are around 1-2kg and selected from
newly discovered outcrops or float.
Onsite XRF analysis is sometimes conducted on rock chips using a hand‐held Niton XRF Model
XL3T 950 Analyser. These results are only used for onsite interpretation and preliminary
assessment subject to final geochemical analysis by laboratory assays.
Historical Drilling - Tennant Creek
There is no historical drilling at the Kurundi Project.
Historical Drilling – Mt Remarkable
Drill and assay data for historical drilling was sourced from annual mineral exploration reports
downloaded through WAMEX and historical quarterly activity reports submitted to ASX by
Northern Star Resources Ltd. Historical licences were E80/2427 and E80/4001
For historical holes (WRC<001 – WRC<026) initial sample taken by spear with all significant
results later riffle split.
For historical holes (08WRC059<08WRC088) 3<5kg 1m samples taken direct from static cone
splitter or 4m comps taken by spearing 1m samples. Field standards and duplicates inserted at
regular intervals.
No details on sampling are available on historical RC holes WRC027 – WRC058 or diamond
core holes WCD01<02.
Onsite XRF analysis is conducted on Grab Rock Chip samples using a hand‐held Niton XRF
Model XL3T 950 Analyser. These results are only used for onsite interpretation and preliminary
assessment subject to final geochemical analysis by laboratory assays.
Current RC Programme
No new drilling reported
RC Sampling: All samples from the RC drilling are taken as 1m samples. Samples are sent to
ALS Laboratories in Perth for assaying.
Appropriate QAQC samples (standards, blanks and duplicates) are inserted into the sequences
as per industry best practice. Samples are collected using cone or riffle splitter. Geological
logging of RC chips is completed at site with representative chips being stored in drill chip trays.

Sampling
Techniques
(continued)
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
_Grab Rock Chip Sampling:_Grab Rock Chip samples are recorded on a sampling sheet which
includes nature of sampled site, rock type, structure site, structure orientation, size,
mineralisation style. Samples are selected to give an understanding of mineralisation and
alteration styles and are representative only based on sample site description.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for
fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Grab Rock Chip Sampling:_samples are selected specifically to give an understanding of
mineralisation/alteration styles and minerals present.
_RC Sampling
: No new drilling reported
RC Sampling is done from the 1m splits in altered or mineralised rock and at 4m composites in
unaltered/unmineralised rock.
Diamond sampling: Sampling is done from geological boundaries identified by a geologist. The
intervals are based on structure, alteration, veining and mineralisation. Samples no smaller than
20cm and no bigger than 1.3m are taken. The core is cut in two with a core cutting machine.
KRR Samples are assayed by ALS Laboratory for multi<elements using either a four acid digest
followed by multi element analysis with ICP<AES (Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission
spectroscopy) or ICP<MS (Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) analysis dependent
on element being assayed for and grade ranges). Au, Pt and Pd processed by fire assay and
analysis with ICP<AES.
Laboratory QAQC procedures summary:
Following drying of samples at 85°C in a fan forced gas oven, material <3kg was pulverised to
85% passing 75µm in a LM<5 with samples >3kg passing through a 50:50 riffle split prior to
pulverisation. Fire assay was undertaken on a 30g charge using lead flux Ag collector fire assay
with aqua regia digestion and ICP<AES finish. Multiple element methodology was completed on
a 0.25g using a combination of four acids including hydrofluoric acid for near total digestion.
Determination was undertaken with a combination of ICP<AES and ICP<MS instrumentation.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open<hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face<sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
Current RC Programme
No new drilling reported.
The RC drilling uses a 140 mm diameter face hammer tool. High capacity air compressors on the
drill rig are used to ensure a continuously sealed and high pressure system during drilling to
maximise the recovery of the drill cuttings, and to ensure chips remain dry to the maximum
extent possible.
Diamond core was drilled with HQ3 split tube to preserve structure and core integrity in oxide
material, orientations where taken every run or where possible.

o Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the
in situ material collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second<half sampling.
o Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
Assay preparation procedures ensure the entire sample is pulverised to 75 microns before the
sub‐sample is taken. This removes the potential for the significant sub‐sampling bias that can be
introduced at this stage.
Field QC procedures maximise representivity of RC samples and eliminate sampling errors,
including the use of duplicate samples. Also the use of certified reference material including
assay standards and with blanks aid in maximising representivity of samples.
For fire assay a run of 78 client samples includes a minimum of one method blank, two certified
reference materials (CRMs) and three duplicates. For the multi<element method, a QC lot
consists of up to 35 client samples with a minimum of one method blank, two CRMs and two
duplicates. The analytical facility is certified to a minimum of ISO 9001:2008.
Field duplicates were taken every 20thsample for RC and Diamond samples.
The sample sizes are considered to be appropriate to correctly represent the gold<silver
mineralisation at the Project based on the style of mineralisation (epithermal quartz vein), the
thickness and consistency of the intersections and the sampling methodology.

to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
Grab Rock Chip Sampling:_Surface rock chip samples do not provide orientation, width
information. Associated structural measurements and interpretation by geologist can assist in
understanding geological context.
_Current RC/DDH Programme

No new drilling reported.
The drill holes are drilled at an angle from‐50 to 74 degrees (unless otherwise stated) on an
azimuth designed to intersect the modelled mineralised zones at a near perpendicular
orientation. However, the orientation of key structures may be locally variable and any
relationship to mineralisation has yet to be identified.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of
key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling
bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
No orientation-based sampling bias has been identified in the data to date.
Sample

The measures taken to ensure sample security. _KRR Samples:_Chain of Custody is managed by the Company until samples pass to a duly
certified assay laboratory for subsampling and assaying. The rock chip and RC sample bags are
stored on secure sites and delivered to the assay laboratory by the Company or a competent
agent. When in transit, they are kept in locked premises. Transport logs have been set up to
track the progress of samples. The chain of custody passes upon delivery of the samples to the
assay laboratory.
Library samples collected and slabbed to allow resampling and further analysis where required
during and after the wet season. Pulps will be stored until final results have been fully
interpreted.

Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Treasure Creek:
Tennant Creek mineral field has had a long history of exploration and mining (since 1933).
Historical exploration around the main Tenant Creek Gold Field primarily included work by
Giants Reef, Peko, Posiedon, Roebuck, Normandy (later Newmont) and Tennant Creek Gold.
Exploration was primarily based on geophysical surveys targeting coincident gravity and ground
magnetic anomalies, followed by RC or diamond drilling. Lines of RAB or Aircore holes were
also drilled where specific geophysical models were not present. Currently the bulk of the
Tennant Creek mineral field is held by Emmerson Resources. Treasure Creeks applications are
outside of the main gold field (except ELA31619) extending from Tennant Creek to Hatches
Creek gold fields. Historic exploration over the applications east of the Stuart highway has been
sparse and sporadic, with companies including Giants Reef, Normandy, Newmont doing
minimal, if any, on ground work (on ground work included a few very broad spaced RAB lines).
In the early to mid-2000’s Arafura completed some broad spaced soil samples but relinquished
the ground without pursuing any anomalies that were discovered. Applications west of the
highway cover ground that was involved in exploration around the Rover Gold Field, including
companies such as Geopeko, Giants Reef, Newmont, Western Desert Resources and Tennant
Creek Gold. Exploration included magnetic and gravity surveys, geophysical analysis, targeted
RC and diamond drilling. The applications in this area cover significant IOCG targets generated
from this work. EL31617 covers ground held by Tennant Creek Gold/Western Desert Resources
as part of their Rover Exploration Project which they relinquished in 2014 in favour of their
developing iron ore projects. Rock chip sample results referred to at Kurundi and Whistle Duck
were taken were taken by various companies in the 1960’s.

aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut<off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Rock Chip Samples:_No weighting averaging techniques or maximum/minimum grade
truncations used in the laboratory assays reported. Cut-off grades of 0.1g/t Au have been used
in reporting the rock chip sample exploration results (Table 1).
_Drill intersections: No New Drilling Reported

o
Intersections calculated using a weighted average of grade vs metres.
Also:
o
No metal equivalent calculations used.
o
No upper cuts used in intersection calculations.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for
such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
No New Drilling Reported
No aggregate intercepts. Downhole drill intersects are reported as averages of the interval
>0.1g/t Au and up to 2m of internal waste. Where high grades are included in an interval then
they are quoted as ‘including’.
