Follow-up soil sampling to assist with defining additional targets for drilling is scheduled to commence across the initial 3.3km by 3km Chalby Chalby prospect area.
-
Airborne geophysical surveys have been completed across the Company’s Chalba and Mooloo tenements and provide new and valuable information for on-going targeting using response signatures from the Chalby Chalby pegmatites.
Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company” ) is pleased to announce the additional results from its early-stage exploration targeting lithium-bearing pegmatites in the Chalba area of the highly prospective Gascoyne Province.
Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell commented: “The latest results from Chalby Chalby highlight the significant potential for the discovery of lithium-bearing pegmatites within the Company’s Gascoyne tenure.

We have mapped pegmatites over 11km of strike at Chalby Chalby in an area which covers just 1% of our extensive Gascoyne tenure. Our mapping has also identified two other areas in addition to Chalby Chalby that have significant pegmatite intrusions, with individual pegmatites that are up to 50m thick. On-going exploration in these areas alongside our exciting exploration for high grade rare earth elements is now a priority for the Company.
We have also recently flown additional geophysical surveys across our Gascoyne tenure, completing the high resolution geophysics coverage for our tenure and providing valuable insights for the on-going targeting of rare earth elements and lithium”.

Chalby Chalby Lithium Exploration
Kingfisher has received further results from the initial exploration for lithium-bearing pegmatites at its Chalby Chalby Prospect in the highly prospective Gascoyne Region of Western Australia. The Chalby Chalby pegmatite field includes more than 11km of strike of mapped pegmatites and covers an area of 3.3km by 3km. The new results are from an area with multiple stacked pegmatites, each up to 10m thick with continuous anomalous results over 0.1% Li2O with a peak of 0.61% Li2O. The analytical results also indicate that the pegmatites are fractionating and fertile for forming lithium mineralisation, highlighting the potential for the discovery of spodumene mineralisation in more well-developed and fractionated areas either along strike or down-dip at depth (Figure 1).

The Chalby Chalby pegmatite field occurs at a similar position off the exposure of the Durlacher Granite as the Thirty Three Suite Pegmatites of Minerals 260 Limited’s Pyramid Hill prospect (Figure 2), where a 5km long lithium soil anomaly has recently been reported (see ASX:MI6 4 September 2023).
Recent exploration by Delta Lithium Limited has highlighted the potential of the Gascoyne Thirty Three Suite Pegmatites to host potentially economic lithium mineralisation. Significant and high grade spodumene-bearing mineralisation has been reported from Delta Lithium’s Yinnetharra Project, which is located 40km northeast of the Company’s Chalba projects. Recent exploration results from Yinnetharra include drill results of 33m at 1.9% Li2O[*] from the Malinda Prospect and rock chips results from Jamesons Prospect that include 4.2% Li2O[+] (Figure 3).

Next Steps - Lithium
A soil geochemistry program to define sub cropping and undercover targets is scheduled to commence in the coming weeks, with results expected during Q4 of 2023. The result of this geochemistry and other surface mapping and sampling across the tenure will guide the targeting for drill testing.
Gascoyne Rare Earths Exploration Program
Kingfisher is also continuing its 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 is testing high priority carbonatite targets across the Company’s belt-scale tenement holding, building upon the significant carbonatite discoveries, which has confirmed the presence of large scale, high grade REE mineralisation along the Chalba target corridor.
The exploration work planned for the 2023 field season includes:
-
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 has multiple stacked pegmatites with surface sample results up to 0.61% Li2O.
This announcement has been authorised by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Mr Farrell is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience that is relevant to this style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that is being reported on to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”.
