ASX Announcement

Government Co-funded Drilling Awarded for Mick Well Carbonatites

Highlights

  • Kingfisher set to receive $200,000 co-funding for Mick Well drilling under Government Exploration Incentive Scheme.

  • Co-funded drilling will target Mick Well carbonatite pipes, with funding available from June 2024.

  • Heritage survey work complete, including planned co-funded drilling sites.

  • Final heritage report awaited with all other approvals and permits for drilling already in place.

Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) (“ Kingfisher ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce its successful government co-funding application and completion of heritage survey work at its Mick Well Rare Earth Elements project within the highly prospective Gascoyne Province.

Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell commented: “Our successful application for government co-funded drilling for the carbonatite pipe targets is a very positive sign of support for the high quality targets and technical work the Company has completed advancing its Rare Earths Elements discoveries at Mick Well. We have recently completed heritage surveys for the planned drilling as well as other potential drill sites across the Mick Well area. With all drilling approvals in place, we look forward to drilling the carbonatite pipes which can commence from June. We are grateful for the support from DEMIRS under the co-funded exploration incentive scheme”.

Government Co-funded Drilling

Kingfisher has been awarded $200,000 of co-funding for drilling 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 mineralisation which envelop and radiate away from the interpreted intrusion centres. The co-funded drilling will target the central and western pipes, with additional drilling planned in other locations.

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 3). 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.

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.

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.
