Drilling Underway at Mick Well

Drill Holes Targeting REE Dykes with 40% TREO at MW2

  • Drilling is underway at MW2 as part of a 4,000m drill program designed to target the mineralised lodes which have been delineated by high grade rock chips that exceed 40% TREO (total rare earth oxides).

  • The MW2 mineralisation includes five separate lodes over a 300m wide zone with a cumulative strike length of over 3,000m. The mineralisation dominantly consists of monazite, which includes the high-value magnet rare earth elements (REEs), neodymium and praseodymium.

  • The current mineralised targets are 500m northwest of the Company’s discovery drill hole where previously reported high grade results included 5m at 3.45% TREO, including 3m at 5.21% TREO (see ASX:KFM 5 July 2022).

  • The drill program is expected to take a month to complete, with the first assay results anticipated in approximately eight weeks.

  • Fieldwork to delineate additional high grade targets across the Company’s highly prospective Gascoyne tenure is on-going and will continue during the drilling program. The Company aims to build a pipeline of exploration targets that will be progressively evaluated over the years to come.

Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company” ) is pleased to announce that drilling is underway at its Mick Well REE project in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.

Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell commented: “We are thrilled to have the drill program at MW2 underway. The program brings together several months of work in mapping, sampling and delineating the surface outcrops of mineralisation at MW2.

Our previous drilling at Mick Well which led to the discovery of the rare earths mineralisation in the area returned high grade mineralisation over 5m at 3.5% TREO. We hope to see similar results from this program, particularly as we are drilling a target where we have identified an area of well-developed mineralisation at surface.

ASX Announcement: 14 November 2022

MW2 Drill Program

Drilling is underway at MW2, with the current program including 39 drill holes for approximately 4,000m.

The drilling has been designed to target the high grade REE mineralisation at MW2, where rock chip results over 40% TREO have been returned (see ASX:KFM 30 August 2022 and 4 October 2022) and where mapping and sampling has delineated five parallel lodes of outcropping mineralisation within a 300m wide mineralised zone. The cumulative strike length of the five mineralised lodes within the MW2 mineralised zone is 3km, with all of the lodes remaining open in all directions (Figure 1).

The mineralisation targeted in the current program is located 500m northwest of Kingfisher’s discovery drilling in the MW2 area, where previously reported high grade results have included 5m at 3.45% TREO, including 3m at 5.21% TREO (see ASX:KFM 5 July 2022) as well as 12m at 1.12% TREO, with 4m at 1.84% TREO (see ASX:KFM 24 March 2022).

On-going Fieldwork

The current mapping and rock chipping work will continue during the drilling campaign and is targeting a large number of laterally-extensive high priority targets in a broad area that extends 10km west-northwest from MW2 (Figure 3). The targets in this area are also associated with carbonatite complexes as well as high thorium and magnetic responses – similar to what is seen from the newly identified outcropping mineralisation at MW2. Significantly, all of these targets within this 10km long area also lie within Kingfisher’s target corridor, the Chalba Shear Zone, which extends for 54km across the Company’s Gascoyne tenure (Figure 4).

ASX Announcement: 14 November 2022

The Chalba Shear Zone is a broad WNW-trending crustal-scale structure that has played an important role in providing a conduit for the intrusion of the carbonatites, as well as the associated alteration and late-stage mineralised veins and carbonatite dykes. Fenites (carbonatite-associated alteration) and potassium fenites, are well-developed in the Mick Well area and are an important host of the REE mineralisation. The carbonatite intrusionrelated exploration and mineralisation model is shown in Figure 5.

2022 Gascoyne Exploration Program

Kingfisher is carrying out extensive and targeted exploration programs for its Gascoyne projects during 2022. The planned exploration is cost-effective and aims to develop and test drill targets from ground-based mapping and rock sampling. The Company also plans to simultaneously develop a pipeline of exploration opportunities through integrating current and scheduled tenement-scale airborne geophysical surveys with geological knowledge from the Company’s breakthrough REE discovery at Mick Well.

Planned and completed activities for 2022 for Kingfisher’s Gascoyne projects are shown below.

About the Kingfisher and Mick Well Projects

The Kingfisher and Mick Well Projects are located approximately 230km east of Carnarvon, in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia. The Company holds exploration licences covering 969km[2] and has recently increased its interests in the Gascoyne Mineral Field by nearly 40% through the targeted pegging of additional tenure interpreted to be prospective for rare earth elements (Figure 6). The tenure includes rocks of the Proterozoic Durlacher Suite that hosts the world-class Yangibana Deposit which includes 29.93Mt @ 0.93% TREO[# ] as well as the Archaean Halfway Gneiss.

The recently discovered REE mineralisation at Mick Well is associated with carbonatite intrusions discovered by Kingfisher. Historic exploration in the area had focused on outcrops of quartz reef and gossanous ironstones which are up to 10m in width. Past exploration returned rock chip sample results of up to 10.6% Cu over a strike length of 1km within a laterally extensive geological horizon. Four historical drill holes were completed in the Mick Well area, with the best result being 11m @ 0.25% Cu from 118 m (MWDD001)[^] .

Historical exploration also identified copper at the Kingfisher Project, with mineralisation exposed in a series of shallow historical mining pits over a strike length of 2km. Previous exploration at the project has included geophysical surveys, surface geochemical sampling and limited reverse circulation drilling, with drilling intercepts including 3m @ 0.6% Cu (KFRC10) and rock chip results of 15.3% Cu, 6.3% Cu, 6.2% Cu, 5.9% Cu and 3.4% Cu[^] .
