Large-Scale Carbonatite REE Targets Identified at Arthur River

12km of Strike Added to Lockier Target Corridor

  • Numerous Rare Earth Elements (REE) targets identified at Arthur River, with a large-scale target area that features several circular magnetic and thorium responses which are interpreted to be associated with the intrusion of carbonatites.

  • In addition, six large-scale and high priority target areas have been identified with tens of other discrete magnetic features with geophysical signatures similar to other known carbonatite intrusions globally and within the region.

  • The newly identified targets add a further 12km of strike to the Lockier target corridor which also hosts the Company's Mooloo project target zone, taking the Company's target corridor on the Lockier shear to a total strike length of 30km. This significantly adds to the Company's already extensive 54km Chalba target corridor which hosts the MW2 discovery.

  • A review of historical exploration data is already underway with new targets being ranked and included in the Company's exploration activities for 2023.

Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company” ) is pleased to announce that it has received the results from its recent tenement-scale magnetics and radiometrics airborne geophysics surveys at its 100% owned Lockier shear projects in the Gascoyne Mineral Field in Western Australia. The latest results are from the Arthur River project area, which is located 30km southwest of Mick Well, where a significant amount of geophysical targets have also been identified and geological mapping has delineated strike lengths of more than 5km of outcropping high grade Rare Earth Elements (REE) mineralisation and where drilling has returned results of 5m at 3.45% TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides), including 3m at 5.21% TREO at MW2 (see ASX:KFM 5 July 2022).

Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell commented: “Our tenement-scale airborne geophysics surveys have once again led to the identification of more high quality and large-scale carbonatite targets, including a truly exceptional target which extends for over 9km and is comprised of numerous circular magnetic and thorium

ASX Announcement:

features which we interpret to be associated with carbonatite pipes and dykes. This is the most significant and largest geophysical feature we have identified so far, adding significantly to an already impressive pipeline of geophysical targets and zones of outcropping high grade mineralisation.

The new targets are along the Lockier Shear Zone which is approximately 20km to the south and is parallel to the Company’s 54km Chalba target corridor which hosts the high grade REE discoveries near Mick Well. The new targets at Arthur River together with our Mooloo Project extends the Company’s Lockier target corridor strike to 30km; a target zone of significant scale which provides for a second target corridor within our Gascoyne tenure.

We recently announced a series new targets carbonatite targets along the Chalba mineralised corridor, which we hope to see develop into a world-class REE centre. We are now seeing similar high quality targets emerging along the Lockier corridor. We remain amazed that these two mineralised corridors extending over a total of 80km have never before been identified for carbonatites and REE mineralisation and we are extremely excited as to the prospective opportunities ahead of us as we progress our exploration in this emerging region.”

Airborne geophysics are highly effective tools for the identification of carbonatite intrusions and associated mineralisation. 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 1). 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 2). Figure 1: Each part of the carbonatite system has characteristics which can be detected by geophysics, for example:

Figure 1: 3D schematic of a carbonatite intrusion[+]

  • 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.

  • Aster 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.

==> picture [194 x 197] intentionally omitted <==

The combination of these geophysical responses to the carbonatite geology make it a very powerful combination of tools for early stage targeting and project generation.

ASX Announcement: 18 January 2023

Including the very large (approximately 9km) target area, there are seven large-scale high priority target areas that have been identified from the interpretation of the geophysics surveys, with each target selected from a combination of magnetic, potassium and thorium features (Figure 3 and Figure 4). Tens of other smaller circular features have also been identified in the magnetic data; each of these high magnetic features, particularly where clustered or where colocated with high thorium responses are of interest to the Company for future project generation work.

All of the prioritised targets cover a substantial area, with the smallest LK3 being more than 2.2km long and 1km wide. The largest target, LK1, is particularly significant, and is more than 9km long and more than 6.5km wide. LK1 is also comprised of multiple circular features which are defined by the magnetics and thorium, with the ring-shaped thorium feature (Figure 1 and Figure 4) having a diameter of 1.7km.

Figure 4: Thorium response from the airborne geophysics survey showing priority carbonatite targets and interpreted faults. High thorium responses are typically associated with carbonatite-related REE mineralisation.

High priority targets LK1, LK2, LK3, LK4 and LK7 have already been selected for surface mapping and sampling due to the presence of interpreted carbonates and circular or oval-shaped features which are indicative of intrusion pipes. The identification of the targets from geophysics is an important early part of the discovery process, with all of the targets to be ranked and included in the Company’s project generation activities in 2023 and beyond.

The targets identified from the recently completed geophysics surveys have extended the Company’s target corridor along the Lockier Shear Zone by 12km to a total strike length of 30km. This builds significantly on the previously announced strike length of 18km at the Mooloo Project for the Lockier target corridor (see ASX:KFM 15 November 2022); a zone which is located approximately 20km south of the parallel Chalba target corridor (Figure 5).

Gascoyne Exploration Program

Kingfisher carried out extensive and targeted exploration programs for its Gascoyne projects during 2022. The Company’s exploration work is cost-effective and is aiming to develop and test drill targets from ground-based mapping and rock sampling. The Company is also simultaneously developing a pipeline of exploration opportunities through integrating tenement-scale airborne geophysical surveys with geological knowledge from the Company’s breakthrough REE discovery at Mick Well. The geophysical survey from the 54km Chalba corridor is an important part of this generative work.

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, MW8 as well as substantial project generation work at the CH1 to CH10 targets along the 54km Chalba target corridor and the LK1 to LK7 targets along the 30km Lockier target

About the Arthur River, Mick Well and Kingfisher Projects

The Arthur Project is located approximately 205km east of Carnarvon and 30km southwest of the Company’s Mick Well Project 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 29.93Mt @ 0.93% TREO[# ] as well as the Archaean Halfway Gneiss.

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.

Geology mapping and sampling of the REE mineralisation at MW2 has returned rock chip results of over 40% TREO and resulted in the delineation of five parallel lodes of outcropping mineralisation within a 300m wide mineralised zone. Kingfisher’s discovery drilling in the MW2 area has returned high grade monazite mineralisation with 5m at 3.45% TREO, including 3m at 5.21% TREO as well as 12m at 1.12% TREO, with 4m at 1.84% TREO. The mineralisation is associated with broad zones of potassium, sodic and mafic fenite, which are alteration styles that are associated with the intrusion of carbonatites.
