Significant Clay REE Mineralisation Confirmed at Mick Well

24m at 2345ppm TREO from surface

  • In addition to the recent exceptional high grade hard rock Rare Earth Elements (REE) results, follow-up RC drilling of the mineralised clays at Mick Well has confirmed significant high grade clay hosted REE, with new drill hole results including:

  • 24m at 2345 ppm TREO from surface (MWRC030). The drill hole also included 8m at 3011 ppm TREO from surface.

  • 48m at 1076 ppm TREO, including 16m at 1580 ppm TREO from surface (MWRC028). The drill hole also included 4m at 2379 ppm TREO from surface.

  • 20m at 734 ppm TREO from 32m, including 4m at 1020 ppm TREO from 48m (MWRC029).

  • The new results build upon the previously reported clay REE results from Mick Well (see ASX:KFM 27 July 2022):

  • 48m at 1265 ppm TREO, including 40m at 1367 ppm TREO from 8m (MWRC020).

  • 16m at 1156 ppm TREO, including 12m at 1301 ppm TREO from 8m (MWRC021).

  • The clay and high-grade hard rock mineralisation at Mick Well are now recognised to be part of the same large scale mineral system within the Company’s 54km REE target corridor.

  • The latest clay mineralisation intersections are thick, high grade and confirm the continuity of mineralisation downhole and along strike.

  • Early-stage interpretation of the clay mineralisation highlights a potential strike length of more than 6.5km, with demonstrated widths of 100m and vertical depths from surface to greater than 40m.

  • Metallurgical sighter testwork is underway to assess the extraction of the REE from the clay mineralisation.

  • Additional assay results from further surface sampling around the high grade hard rock mineralisation at MW2 (see ASX:KFM 30 August 2022) are expected in September ahead of drilling planned for October.

Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company” ) is pleased to provide the results from the Mick Well drilling at its 100% owned projects in the Gascoyne Mineral Field in Western Australia.

Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell commented: “We continue to be amazed by the underlying potential of our Gascoyne projects. In addition to the very high grade hard rock assays recently reported, these latest drill results have confirmed broad zones of clays containing a second style of REE mineralisation at Mick Well. We now recognise that the clay and hard rock mineralisation are part of the same large-scale system, with the clay mineralisation hosted in broad structures within our 54km target corridor indicating the potential for larger mineralised carbonatite intrusions at depth.

Our fieldwork which is targeting the exceptionally high-grade hard rock monazite mineralisation in the MW2 area is continuing. This work remains a priority as we seek to discover new areas of outcropping mineralisation and extend the recently discovered REE lodes that remain open in all directions.”

Mick Well Drilling Results

Follow-up reverse circulation (RC) drilling at Mick Well has confirmed the broad zones of clay hosted REE mineralisation at Mick Well (Figure 1, Figure 2). The mineralisation is associated with kaolinite clays and weathered bedrock within the shear zones which are part of the Company’s 54km REE target corridor. Significant new results from the clay mineralisation include:

  • MWRC030: 24m at 2345 ppm TREO with 470 ppm Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from surface.

  • MWRC028: 48m at 1076 ppm TREO with 204 ppm Nd2O3 + Pr6O11, including 16m at 1580 ppm TREO with 325 ppm Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from surface.

  • MWRC027: 36m at 779 ppm TREO with 164 ppm Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 4m.

  • MWRC029: 20m at 734 ppm TREO with 146 ppm Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 32m, including 4m at 1020 ppm TREO with 237 ppm Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 48m.

Figure 2: Mick Well Prospect schematic long section showing TREO results and the clay REE mineralisation. The location of the long section is shown on Figure 1. Results from drill holes MWRC020 and MWRC021 were previously reported (see ASX:KFM 27 July 2022).

The interpretation of the shear zone and associated clay mineralisation has highlighted a potential strike length of 6.5km at Mick Well (Figure 3) and drilling has delineated widths of 100m with vertical extents to 40m depth from surface. The 100m width of the clay zone was highlighted by drill hole MWRC029, which was collared in rock and passed into the clays at 30m downhole.

The current program has also highlighted the association between the high grade REE mineralisation at MW2 and the clay mineralisation at Mick Well. Both styles of mineralisation are now recognised to be part of the same mineral system, occurring in related geological structures, with potential for both styles of mineralisation within structures that make up the 54km target corridor. The clay mineralisation has developed in areas of deep weathering of the carbonatites and associated intense alteration which filled the belt-scale shears.

Figure 3: Mick Well Project area showing the clay target corridor and its relationship with the mineralised carbonatite dykes at MW2. Previously reported drill holes at MW2 which included 5m at 3.45% TREO, with 3m at 5.21% TREO (see ASX:KFM 5 July 2022) and 12m at 1.12% TREO, with 4m at 1.84% TREO (see ASX:KFM 24 March 2022) as well are previously reported rock chips (see ASX:KFM 30 August 2022 and 20 June 2022). Rock chip results are stated as Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO%) and total Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (%) content.

The RC drilling at MW2 intersected areas of alteration and anomalous REE mineralisation in the positions of the interpreted strike extents of the mineralisation intersected in MWRC011 (see ASX:KFM 5 July 2022), with 4m at 0.1% TREO returned from MWRC026 and 1m at 0.1% TREO returned from MWRC025 (see Annexure 1). The upcoming Q4 drilling at MW2 will now focus on the 2.2km of strike of outcropping high grade hard rock mineralisation (see ASX:KFM 30 August 2022) which is located 500m northwest of the previous MW2 drilling, along with the targeting of anticipated additional outcrop discoveries from our ongoing fieldwork.

The Company is targeting REE mineralisation along a 54km corridor associated with the Chalba Shear Zone (Figure 4). The Chalba Shear 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 intrusion-related REE exploration 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.

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 27.42Mt @ 0.97% 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[^] .
