ASX Announcement
Gravity Survey Confirms Carbonatite Pipe Targets at Mick Well
Targets interpreted to be sources of high grade REEs
Highlights
-
Three large carbonatite pipe targets identified from ground gravity survey at Mick Well.
-
Carbonatite pipe targets interpreted to be the source of high grade Rare Earth Elements (REE) mineralisation for MW2, MW7, MW8 and the recently discovered MW9 mineralisation.
-
New targets add to the pipeline of drill ready prospects, with on ground validation and planning for drilling already underway.
Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce the identification of three new carbonatite pipe targets from the recent gravity survey at Mick Well in the highly prospective Gascoyne Province.
Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell commented: “Our geophysical surveys have led to the identification of several compelling carbonatite pipe targets in the centre of the large scale Mick Well project. These targets extend over an area of 7km by 4km and is where we have been progressively delineating high grade REE mineralisation. There is a strong possibility that these targets put into place the final pieces of our geological discovery model and are the source of our REE mineralisation. Ground truthing and drill planning is now underway.”

Three large carbonatite pipe targets have been identified below the high grade vein and dyke REE mineralisation at Mick Well. The carbonatite pipe targets were generated through three-dimensional modelling of the gravity and magnetics data, with areas with more dense and more magnetic rocks identified from the geophysics. Each of the target pipes is more than 1000m in diameter and close to surface, with the depth to the top of each target being less than 50m below the ground surface.
The carbonatite pipe targets are all located in the centre of the large area of outcropping carbonatites and associated fenite alteration at Mick Well. The modelled targets are also directly associated with the vein and dyke mineralisation which envelop and radiate away from the interpreted intrusion centres (Figure 2).

The Carbonatite Exploration Model
The carbonatite intrusion model has a central carbonatite pipe which is comprised of multiple phases of carbonatite intrusion that is surrounded by ring dykes which form around and radial dykes which radiate out from the central intrusion (Figure 3). The carbonatite exploration model envisages alteration of the host country rock into which the carbonatites intrude, with development of sodic (Na) and potassic (K) fenites around the intrusions which often hosts the REE mineralisation (Figure 4).

Each part of the carbonatite system has characteristics which can be detected by modern exploration techniques, for example:
-
Thorium associated with the REE mineralisation is apparent in the radiometrics.
-
Potassium fenites, the alteration which forms around carbonatites intrusions, is also apparent in the radiometrics.
-
Ferrocarbonatites have high iron content and can appear as magnetic highs in the geophysics.
-
Carbonatites typically have high density and can be distinguished from the country rocks by gravity surveys.
-
ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) remote sensing can detect various minerals and elements, including carbonates, ferrous and ferric iron as well as alumina and magnesium and can assist with of carbonatites and associated alteration.
The combination of these geophysical responses to the carbonatite geology provide a very powerful combination of exploration tools for early stage targeting and project generation.

Gascoyne Exploration Program
Kingfisher is undertaking high impact and value building exploration programs targeting large-scale carbonatite targets along its 54km Chalba target corridor and its 30km long Lockier target corridor. The program will test high priority carbonatite targets across the Company’s belt-scale tenement holding, building upon the significant carbonatite discoveries, which confirmed the presence of high grade REE mineralisation along the Chalba target corridor. In addition, the Company is undertaking exploration for lithium associated with various pegmatite outcrops within its tenements at Chalby Chalby.
The exploration work planned for the 2023 field season will include:
-
Significant on-ground mapping and sampling targeting interpreted "Mt Weld style" carbonatite plugs as well as dyke mineralisation and alteration which can be used to vector towards the large-scale source of intrusions. The results will be used for drill planning of the high priority targets.
-
RC drilling to test carbonatite targets at Mick Well, Kingfisher and Arthur River.
-
Ground-based gravity at LK1 and Mick Well. The gravity survey will be used to model higher density rocks (potential mineralised carbonatites) at depth.
-
Surface geochemical survey over the large-scale high priority LK1 target at Arthur River, where mapping is restricted by deep weathering associated with the highly altered rocks and cover.
-
Surface geochemistry at Chalby Chalby to define additional lithium-bearing pegmatite drill targets.
-
Further airborne geophysics to incorporate Mooloo and North Chalba Projects to our early-stage target generation. Magnetics and radiometrics are highly effective for identifying carbonatite mineralisation.
The timeline for the planned and completed activities for 2023 for Kingfisher’s projects are shown below.

About the Kingfisher’s Gascoyne Projects
The Mick Well and Kingfisher Projects are located approximately 230km east of Carnarvon, in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia where the Company holds exploration licences covering 969km[2] . The geological setting of the tenure is similar to Hastings Technology Metals’ world-class Yangibana Deposit which includes 29.93Mt at 0.93% TREO[# ] as well as the recent Yin discovery of Dreadnought Resources which includes mineral resources of 20.06Mt at 1.03% TREO[^] . The tenure is also prospective for lithium-bearing Thirty Three Suite Pegmatites which hosts Delta Lithium’s Yinnetharra Project and has returned drill results of 33m at 1.9% Li2O[*] from Delta’s Malinda Prospect and rock chips results of 4.2% Li2O[+] from Delta’s Jamesons Prospect.
Kingfisher recently made discoveries of hard rock and clay rare earth elements mineralisation at Mick Well. Both styles of mineralisation are associated with carbonatites that intruded along a crustal-scale structural corridor, the Chalba Shear, which extends over a strike length of 54km within the Company’s tenure. The Company has also identified a second structural corridor along the Lockier Shear which extends for 18km across the Company’s Mooloo Project and 12km across the Arthur River Project.
Drilling at the MW2 Prospect has intersected five parallel ferrocarbonatite lodes and associated monazite mineralisation within a 300m wide zone and has returned high-grade REE results with 5m at 2.63% TREO with 0.54% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11, 4m at 3.24% TREO with 0.54% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11, 5m at 1.54% TREO with 0.30% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11, 4m at 1.90% TREO with 0.34% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 and 3m at 2.52% TREO with 0.41% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11. The results from the ferrocarbonatite mineralisation is 500m northwest of Kingfisher’s breakthrough REE discovery where maiden drilling returned 5m at 3.45% TREO with 0.65% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 as well as 12m at 1.12% TREO with 0.21% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from a separate mineralised lode.
Mapping and sampling for lithium at the Company’s Chalby Chalby prospect has delineated an area of 3.3km by 3km that includes multiple stacked pegmatites with a cumulative strike length of over 11km and with surface sample results up to 0.61% Li2O. Chalby Chalby is along strike from Minerals 260 Limited’s Pyramid Hill prospect, where a 5km long lithium anomaly has been defined by soil geochemistry[<] and where geological mapping has highlighted a pegmatite target zone which extends more than 22km around a large granite intrusion of the Durlacher Suite.
