Latest MW2 Surface Samples Extend Ferrocarbonatite Mineralised Zone

Substantial Strike Indicates Potential for Large-Scale Plugs

  • Kingfisher is continuing to move along the 54km mineralised Chalba corridor targeting high grade Rare Earth Elements (REE) mineralisation. The latest surface samples from northeast of MW2 have extended the target zone, with the mineralisation remaining open in all directions.

  • The MW2 mineralisation occurs in five parallel lodes that are associated with ferrocarbonatite dykes which occur in a zone that is 300m wide and has now been extended to have a strike length of more than 2.4km. The latest surface sample results from the outcropping high grade monazite mineralisation include:

  • 30.54% TREO with 5.08% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1610)

  • 16.00% TREO with 2.62% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1611)

  • 24.04% TREO with 4.06% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1612)

    • 11.43% TREO with 1.77% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1613)
  • 21.02% TREO with 3.58% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1614)

  • 20.86% TREO with 3.59% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1615)

  • 18.45% TREO with 3.16% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1617)

  • 14.81% TREO with 2.13% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1618)

  • Geological mapping around the Mick Well area has also resulted in the discovery of mineralisation in a new area, with a surface sample returning 1.99% TREO with 0.46% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1622). This represents the highest NdPr ratio previously seen at Mick Well.

  • The substantial strike and width of the zone at MW2 which hosts the mineralisation is highly encouraging, with on-going exploration now focused on targeting both the largescale carbonatite intrusion plugs as well as the high-grade REE mineralisation associated with ferrocarbonatite dykes.

  • Field work is set to commence in March, with the Company’s full exploration plans for the 2023 to be announced in the coming weeks; ahead of the field season.

Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company” ) is pleased to announce that it has extended the mineralisation at MW2 yet again, with a strike length of over 2.4km. The most resent rock chip results have also returned the highest NdPr ratio we have seen thus far.

Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell commented: “The latest results from MW2

highlight the significant potential of these emerging high grade carbonatite REE zones as a regional scale discovery. There are strong indications that the REE mineralisation forms part of a larger carbonatite system.

Kingfisher is uniquely positioned to build on the discovery with its tenure that covers 84km of strike along the mineralised target corridors of the Chalba and Lockier shears. High grade REE mineralisation has been confirmed from drilling on the Chalba and numerous large-scale carbonatite plug and dyke targets have been identified along the entire strike length of these corridors.

Our exploration plans for this year will include multiple drill programs as well as significant on-ground work as we seek to advance the large-scale carbonatite targets. This pipeline of projects has Kingfisher primed

Latest MW2 Surface Sampling Results

The latest surface sampling results from MW2 have further extended the high grade outcropping monazite-rich mineralisation. The mineralisation occurs in five-parallel lodes which are associated with the intrusion of ferrocarbonatite dykes that occur within a 300m wide zone extending for over 2.4km (Figure 1). New high grade results from the strike extensions to MW2 include:

  • 30.54% TREO with 5.08% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1610)

  • 16.00% TREO with 2.62% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1611)

ASX Announcement:

Results from drilling below the targets defined by rock chips have recently been reported by the Company, with high grade REE mineralisation intercepts that include (see ASX:KFM 7 February 2022):

  • 5m at 2.63% TREO with 0.54% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11, including 3m at 4.11% TREO with 0.85% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 124m (MWRC067)

  • 4m at 3.24% TREO with 0.54% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 46m (MWRC035)

  • 5m at 1.54% TREO with 0.30% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 75m (MWRC068)

  • 4m at 1.90% TREO with 0.34% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11, including 3m at 2.42% TREO with 0.43% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 65m (MWRC059)

  • 3m at 2.52% TREO with 0.41% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 46m (MWRC033)

Mapping and surface sampling in the Mick Well area has also resulted in the identification of new areas of mineralisation The newly discovered mineralisation appears on a different trend, with an east-west strike (Figure 1). The mineralisation also has a higher NdPr ratio than other outcropping REE mineralisation in the Mick Well area. Firstpass sampling returning results which include:

  • 0.30% TREO with 0.05% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1621)

  • 1.99% TREO with 0.46% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1622)

  • 0.21% TREO with 0.04% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1623)

The latest results confirm the significance of the NE-trending magnetic features to be associated with the high-grade mineralisation and the late-stage intrusion of ferrocarbonatite dykes (Figure 2). Re-interpretation of the results from the discovery drilling also indicate a NE strike for the mineralisation.

ASX Announcement: 27 February 2023

On-going Exploration

The reported mapping and rock chip sampling work is targeting REE mineralisation associated with ferrocarbonatite intrusions and dykes. Step-out work has identified new high-grade outcropping mineralisation at KF3 (15km east of MW2) and continues to target ferrocarbonatite dykes and potential mineralised plugs along Kingfisher’s target Chalba Shear Zone which extends for 54km across the Company’s Gascoyne tenure (Figure 3).

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) are well-developed in the Mick Well area where they are an important host of the REE mineralisation as well as along the length of the Chalba Shear Zone and the Lockier Shear Zone at the Company’s Mooloo and Arthur River projects. The carbonatite intrusion-related exploration and mineralisation model is shown in Figure 4.

Gascoyne Exploration Program

Planning is well advanced for the Company’s exploration activities for 2023 at its Gascoyne projects. It is envisaged the 2023 exploration activities will include drilling at MW2, MW7 and MW8 as well as substantial project generation work at KF3 and the large-scale CH1 to CH10 targets along the 54km Chalba target corridor and the LK1 to LK7 targets along the 30km Lockier target corridor. The 2023 exploration activities are also likely to include airborne geophysics across the Mooloo project. The Company’s exploration plans for 2023 will be announced shortly.

About the Kingfisher and Mick Well Projects

The Mick Well and Kingfisher 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 5). 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 maiden mineral resources of 14.36Mt @at 1.13% TREO[^] .

ASX Announcement: 27 February 2023

The Company 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.
