Outcropping strike of high grade Rare Earth Elements (REE) mineralisation is now more than 2.2 km long with multiple parallel mineralised lodes identified within a 300m wide corridor.
-
Ground proofing is on-going leading up to the Q4 2022 drilling program at MW2, with work expected to identify further outcrops of mineralisation within the 54km of the REE hosting Chalba Shear.
-
Results from the recent drill program at Mick Well as well as additional assays from the ongoing surface mapping are expected in September.
Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company” ) is delighted to provide an update on the ongoing mapping and rock chip sampling at its 100% owned projects in the Gascoyne Mineral Field in Western Australia.

Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell commented: “The ongoing field work from our team continues to identify high grade zones of outcropping REE mineralisation as we build our knowledge and demonstrate the potential scale of the REE system. We are ecstatic with the identification of this new mineralisation, including the 40.02% TREO sample from an outcrop which consists almost entirely of massive monazite.
The outcropping mineralisation has now been mapped over a strike length of more than 2.2km within our 54km REE target corridor. In the lead up to our drilling campaign in Q4 2022, our onground exploration will continue to focus on the large pipeline of high resolution geophysical targets and in particular those within the 10km vicinity immediately west of MW2.”

MW2 REE Mineralisation
Ongoing fieldwork at the Company’s Gascoyne projects has significantly increased the scale of the outcropping high grade REE discovery at MW2. The mapped mineralisation is in a zone which extends for more than 1,000m in length and 300m in width, with the cumulative strike length of the first four identified outcropping mineralised lodes within the zone now exceeding 2.2km. All four mineralised lodes remain open in all directions (Figure 1).
A new style of mineralisation, massive monazite, has also been identified at the project. The massive monazite mineralisation has few gangue minerals and is exceptionally high grade, with assays of 40.02% TREO containing 6.40% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS0708, Figure 2). Other outstanding grades were also returned from carbonatite dyke samples which contain masses of monazite, including 21.55% TREO with 3.74% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS0769) and 15.19% TREO with 2.56% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS0770, Figure 3).

Figure 1: MW2 rock chip samples and mineralisation. Previously reported rock chips are shown in italics (see ASX:KFM 20 June 2022). The outcropping mineralisation is located 500m northwest of Kingfisher’s MW2 discovery drill holes 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). Rock chip results are stated as Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO%) and total Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (%) content.

The outcropping mineralisation is located 500m northwest of Kingfisher’s MW2 discovery drill hole (Figure 1). The drilling also includes high grade results, with 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). The mineralisation consists of high grade monazite and allanite – both being important global sources for the production of the critical metals, neodymium and praseodymium.

The current exploration work has also led to the identification of a large number of laterally-extensive high priority targets in a broad area that extends 10km west-northwest from MW2 (Figure 4). 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 5).
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 intrusion-related exploration and mineralisation model is shown in Figure 6.

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 7). 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[^] .
