HELICOPTER-BORNE ELECTROMAGNETIC SURVEY COMMENCED AT BOOLALOO PROJECT
-
Helicopter-borne VTEM[TM] Max survey has commenced at the Boolaloo Project in the Ashburton Basin of Western Australia.
-
More than 20km of strike of the target geological unit and structures to be surveyed, including areas with known mineralisation and interpreted regional extensions to mineralisation.
-
Airborne electromagnetics is effective at identifying conductive sulphide mineralisation up to depths of 300m below surface.
-
Survey expected to be a key input into on-going exploration and the design of reverse circulation drilling planned for later in the year.
Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company” ) is pleased to provide an update of its on-going exploration at its 100% owned flagship Boolaloo Project in the Ashburton Basin of Western Australia.
The Company has commenced a helicopter-borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM[TM] Max) survey at the Boolaloo Project. The survey will cover more than 20km of strike of the Company’s target geological unit and structures and will include more than 900 flight line kilometres and cover 165km[2] (Figure 1). The VTEM[TM] survey is being flown by UTS Geophysics Pty Ltd using the industry leading time domain electromagnetic system and is expected to take seven days for the data acquisition to be completed.
Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell commented: “Subsequent to listing the Company is extremely excited to build upon and consolidate over 30km of potential strike of the target geology for copper mineralisation in the emerging Ashburton province. The VTEM[TM] survey covering the flagship Boolaloo Project is a major step forward for the Company. Airborne electromagnetics is the favoured method for identifying sulphide targets and once complete, the results will be integrated with the Company’s other exploration data, including the airborne hyperspectral survey as well as the recent diamond drilling, field mapping and pending rock chip sample results. This data will then be used in the design and planning of the upcoming reverse circulation drill programs expected to commence in August”.
Boolaloo Project
The Boolaloo copper-gold and base metal project is located approximately 160km west of Paraburdoo and 35km southwest of the Paulsen's gold mine in the Ashburton region of Western Australia (Figure 2). The Company has pegged exploration licences over the potential strike extents of the interpreted mineralised corridors, giving a significant strategic holding in an emerging province and tenure which now covers more than 30km of strike of the interpreted mineralised structures.
Past exploration has established the potential for the discovery of copper mineralisation at the project, with previous reverse circulation (RC) drilling returning very encouraging results which include:
- 4m @ 1.06% Cu & 1.40 g/t Au from 109m, including 1m @ 1.41% Cu & 2.70 g/t Au from 110m (MIRC002)[ 1] ;
