Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce further discovery from its ongoing exploration within the Mick Well area of the highly prospective Gascoyne Province.
Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell commented: “The discovery of new high grade REE mineralisation at MW9 highlights the significant additional potential of the large scale carbonatite target at Mick Well which extends over an area of 7km by 4km.
Our ongoing exploration is advancing towards new drill targets, with the recent completion of a gravity survey at Mick Well as well as another at our other very large LK1 target.
In addition to our REE exploration, our lithium pegmatites targeting is continuing, with a soil geochemistry program at Chalby Chalby.”

Regional REE Mineralisation Discovery
Vein and dyke mineralisation has also been discovered close to the CH9 intrusion centre located at the western end of the 54km long Chalba target corridor and is more than 22km along strike from MW2 (Figure 2). The newly discovered mineralised dykes includes surface sample results of up to 0.68% TREO (MWGS2713). These results are from an area with limited surface outcrop which makes it a compelling target and a surface geochemical program is currently being planned to advance the discovery.

Gravity Survey
A ground-based gravity survey has recently been completed over the large-scale 7km by 4km CH1 (Mick Well) carbonatite intrusion centre. Gravity surveys are effective for delineating dense carbonatites and carbonatite-related mineralisation from the less dense host rocks and alteration. The CH1 survey is currently being processed and results will be announced when they become available.
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).

==> picture [280 x 58] intentionally omitted <==
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 project 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.
