A large number of additional high priority geophysical targets have been identified in a broad zone which extends 10km WNW from MW2 within the Company’s 54km target corridor. The new targets will be mapped and sampled as part of upcoming fieldwork.
-
Newly discovered mineralisation is drill ready. A drill rig has been booked and the newly discovered mineralisation will be added to programs planned for later this year.
-
Additional results from drilling at MW2, Kingfisher and other targets are expected to be received later in June and July.
Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company” ) is pleased to provide an update on the on-going 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 discovery of the additional rare earth element mineralisation in three parallel dykes just 500m from MW2 is a very exciting development for the Company. The high grade assay results exceed our expectations and have led to the further identification of numerous new targets over a large area at Mick Well. As our work expands along our 54km target corridor, the new targets will be progressively assessed as we continue to increase our fieldwork over the coming months.

We are eagerly awaiting the results from our follow-up drilling at the discovery target, MW2. The geological logging of the drill holes from the recent drilling program was a key factor in the discovery of this additional mineralisation, with the outcrop being very similar to the geology logged in the drilling.
The newly identified mineralisation is now drill ready and will be added to drill programs that have already been planned and contracted for later in the year”.
Mick Well Carbonatite Discovery
Additional high grade REE mineralisation has been discovered at the Company's Mick Well project, which is in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia. The outcropping mineralisation has been defined over a strike length of more than 800m, within a broad zone where two additional parallel carbonatite dykes with REE mineralisation have already been identified (Figure 1, Figure 2). The mineralisation includes exceptional grades, with laboratory assays of 21.13% TREO with 3.59% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS0484) and 14.29% TREO with 2.23% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS0465). All three mineralised dykes remain open in all directions.
The outcropping mineralisation is fresh from surface and predominantly consists of high grade monazite and allanite – both being important global sources for production of the critical metals, neodymium and praseodymium.

Rock chip results are total rare earth oxides (TREO%), total Nd2O3 + Pr6O11% and percentage of TREO which is Nd2O3 + Pr6O11.

The identification of outcropping mineralisation has significantly added to the Company’s understanding of the geology of the project area and has confirmed the effectiveness of airborne radiometrics and magnetics for targeting on-ground mapping and the subsequent successful discovery of outcropping mineralisation.
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 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 for the newly identified outcropping mineralised carbonatite dykes. 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).
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 latestage 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 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 groundbased mapping and rock sampling. The Company also plans to simultaneously develop a pipeline of exploration opportunities through integrating current and planned 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[^] .
