ASX Announcement
Works for Drilling of Mick Well Carbonatites targets commenced together with Base Metal Evaluation
Highlights
-
Kingfisher has commenced works for the Mick Well co-funded Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) drilling program, targeting the defined Mick Well carbonatite pipes targets.
-
Drilling and works contractors have been engaged, with all the necessary approvals in place.
-
Review of VMS style base metal mineralisation is underway, including the reprocessing of historical induced polarisation (IP) geophysics survey over the Kingfisher prospect.
-
Field assessment of Copper bearing structures which outcrop for approximately 2km and the old Kingfisher copper workings where prior exploration by Pasminco identified high grade rockchips from spoil piles and limited wide spaced historical RC drilling has intersected anomalous copper values.
-
Rockchips from recent field investigations and sampling of spoils from historic workings returned a number of high grade copper results with values ranging from 1.73% up to 15.3% Cu.
-
The review has identified historical data including a base metal drilling intercept of 10m at 1% Pb from 27m (MCRC1) associated with a surface gossan at Mombo Creek, with no follow up ground-based geophysics undertaken.
Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that initial site works have commenced with diamond drilling anticipated to begin in early August. In addition to the soon to be commenced drilling, Kingfisher has undertaken a review of the base metal opportunities within its Gascoyne tenure.
Kingfisher’s non-executive chairman Warren Hallam commented:
“A significant amount of work has been undertaken defining a regional scale REE field with over 20km of REE mineralised strike being identified and the defining of several large potential carbonatite pipe targets which could be a significant host of REE mineralisation. We are excited that initial works are now underway for the commencement of diamond drilling of these targets in early August. Kingfisher appreciates DEMIRS support for the co-funded drilling of these carbonatite pipes at Mick Well which attests to the potential for the discovery of another significant rare earth deposit.”

Government Co-funded drilling
Kingfisher has been awarded $200,000 co-funding for drilling of the Mick Well carbonatite pipe targets under the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS).
The three large carbonatite pipe targets at Mick Well have been identified below the Company’s high grade vein and dyke REE mineralisation discoveries. The carbonatite pipe targets were generated through three-dimensional modelling of the Company’s 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 1,000m 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 (Figure 1, Figure 2). The modelled targets are also directly associated with the vein and dyke REE mineralisation which envelop and radiate away from the interpreted intrusion centres. The co-funded drilling will target the central and eastern pipes, with additional drilling planned in other locations.

Review of Base Metal Exploration Data
Kingfisher has undertaken a review of base metal opportunities within the company’s tenure. The company is currently reviewing and reprocessing a ground based induced polarisation (IP) geophysics survey conducted in 2007 by Mount Phillips Exploration (Wamex A75869) over the Kingfisher copper prospect. The reprocessing aims to recognise base metals occurrences not identified by the Company’s airborne VTEM survey conducted in 2021 (see ASX:KFM 27 July 2021). Kingfisher and previous explorers have undertaken wide spaced drilling conducted on a small number of targets which returned anomalous copper results including KFRC10: 3m @ 0.6% Cu from 69m (Wamex A75869) with further details included in Annexure 2. Induced polarisation surveys are commonly used within volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits to detect base metal mineralisation. Kingfisher’s recent ground-based activities have investigated previously documented base metal occurrences at the Kingfisher prospect. Rockchips results from on ground mapping and geochemical sampling recently returned a number of high grade copper results with values ranging from 1.73% up to 15.3% Cu (MWGS3256), see figure 5 with all new results included in Annexure 1. Kingfisher will also further investigate drillhole MCRC1: 10m @ 1% Pb from 27m, with lead (Pb) commonly associated with VMS base metal deposits (Wamex A58062) with further details included in Annexure 2. MCRC1 was drilled by WA Exploration Services in 1999 around a surface gossan at Mombo Creek, and is located outside of the areas previously focused on for base metal mineralisation. This area has no known on-ground geophysics techniques applied to the area surrounding the intercept. The company is currently on-ground investigating additional base metal opportunities.

About the Kingfisher’s Gascoyne Projects
Kingfisher’s Mick Well REE Project and Chalby Chalby Lithium Project are located in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia where the Company holds exploration licences covering 938km[2] . The tenure is prospective for carbonatite REE mineralisation similar to Hastings Technology Metals’ world-class Yangibana Deposit which includes 29.93Mt at 0.93% TREO[# ] as well as the recent Yin and C3 discoveries of Dreadnought Resources which include mineral resources of 40.82Mt at 1.03% TREO[^ ] (Figure 4). The Company’s Gascoyne tenure is also prospective for lithium-bearing Thirty Three Suite Pegmatites which hosts Delta Lithium’s Yinnetharra Project and has a Mineral Resource of 25.7 Mt at 1.0% Li2O[*] from Delta’s Malinda Prospect and rock chips results of 4.2% Li2O[+] from Delta’s Jamesons Prospect. The Kingfisher prospect has historically been explored for base metals with base metals mineralisation outcropping at surface.
Kingfisher has 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.
Kingfisher is also advancing its Chalby Chalby Lithium Project with mapping and sampling at Chalby Chalby delineating an area of 3.3km by 3km that includes multiple stacked pegmatites with a cumulative strike length of over 13km and with surface sample results up to 0.61% Li2O.
