ASX Announcement

Kingfisher to Divest Gascoyne REE Project to Dreadnought

Kingfisher Mining Ltd (ASX: KFM) (“Kingfisher” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding terms sheet with Dreadnought Exploration Pty Ltd , a wholly owned subsidiary of Dreadnought Resources Limited (ASX: DRE) (“Dreadnought”) , for the sale of 100% of its interest in 12 granted exploration licences in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.

Key Highlights:

  • $2.0 Million Upfront Consideration: Payable in fully paid ordinary shares of Dreadnought Resources Limited (DRE:ASX).

  • $1.5 Million in Potential Milestone Payments: Performance-based cash payments linked to JORC Resource definitions of up to 20MT @ 1% TREO.

  • Strategic Focus: Transaction frees up funds and technical resources to focus on high-priority NSW coppergold, silver, lead and zinc projects.

  • Retained Upside: KFM maintains exposure to Gascoyne Rare Earth Elements (REE) through a significant shareholding in DRE and future milestone cash triggers.

Kingfisher Managing Director Chris Bittar commented:

"This transaction is a win-win for Kingfisher. It immediately frees up vital funds to focus our energy and resources on developing our exciting NSW Copper, Gold , Silver , Zinc and Lead projects.

We have always believed in the potential of the Gascoyne, but we recognise that these tenements are better served as part of a larger, unified project where the true value of the assets can be unlocked in a more efficient and timely manner. Importantly, Kingfisher shareholders will retain significant exposure to the rare earth sector through our new shareholding in Dreadnought, while simultaneously allowing Kingfisher to dedicate its full attention and capital to driving discovery success in NSW."

Strategic Rationale: Sharpening Focus on NSW.

The divestment of the Gascoyne portfolio marks a deliberate strategic shift for Kingfisher. By transitioning these assets to Dreadnought, the Company strengthens its financial position and reallocates the capital previously required for these tenements towards the recently acquired NSW projects.

This realignment enables the Company to concentrate its resources on the high-priority NSW assets during a period of strong copper, gold, silver, and base metal prices. The Company’s NSW tenure is highly prospective for large-scale deposits, and this transaction provides the financial flexibility to accelerate exploration across these targets.

A primary beneficiary of this refined focus is the Copper Blow IOCG Project. Located near the world-class mining hub of Broken Hill, Copper Blow is a standout Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) system within the Company's portfolio.

Previous exploration at Copper Blow has confirmed high-grade copper-gold mineralisation over a 600m strike length. Recent drilling by Kingfisher has confirmed the continuity of the system with significant intercepts including (See ASX:KFM – ‘High-Grade Copper-Gold Results Confirm Continuity at Copper Blow’ 2 February 2026) . Significant results from the South Zone include:

13m @ 1.2% Cu and 0.26 g/t Au from 23m, incl. 4m @ 3.43% Cu and 0.74 g/t Au from 23m (25CBRC_073).

  • 7m @ 2.11% Cu and 0.32 g/t Au from 116m; Incl. 4m @ 3.32% Cu and 0.53 g/t Au from 116m (25CBRC_074).

  • 3m @ 1.70% Cu and 0.48 g/t Au from 204m; Incl. 2m @ 2.28% Cu and 0.69 g/t Au from 204m (25CBRC_078).

Significant results from the North Zone include:

  • 14m @ 1.13% Cu and 0.25 g/t Au from 9m, incl. 4m @ 2.27% Cu and 0.54 g/t Au from 9m (25CBRC_075).

  • 41m @ 0.44% Cu from 96m, incl. 3m @ 2.01% Cu and 0.49 g/t Au from 99m (25CBRC_076).

  • 7m @ 1.05% Cu and 0.32 g/t Au from 29m (25CBRC_077)

The project is characterized by a prominent 4km-long magnetic anomaly, much of which remains untested by modern drilling. A key priority for Kingfisher is the testing of undercover targets located directly along strike of the known mineralisation at Copper Blow as the Company seeks to significantly increase the currently defined 600m of strike.

By refining our exploration focus, Kingfisher is ensuring that its resources are directed toward projects like Copper Blow, which offer immediate potential for value creation. This strategic realignment ensures Kingfisher is ideally positioned to capitalise on the robust demand for gold, silver, copper and base metals while driving discovery success and maintaining a disciplined approach to capital management, all while retaining a valuable stake in the future of the rare earth sector.

NSW Projects: Capitalising on Strong Commodity Tailwinds

The Company’s decision to focus on its New South Wales portfolio (Copper, Gold, Silver, Zinc, and Lead) is driven by the exceptional strength and outlook for base and precious metals.

  • Copper, Gold, Silver & Base Metals: With the global energy transition driving robust copper and zinc demand alongside record or near-record gold and silver prices, Kingfisher is ideally positioned to advance its NSW targets. This favourable commodity environment ensures that exploration success carries significant weight, allowing the Company to maximize the potential value of its discovery programs during a period of structural supply deficits.

  • Drill-Ready Targets: Funds previously earmarked for the Gascoyne Project will now be redirected toward exploration drilling and resource definition in NSW, where the Company sees the greatest potential for a significant discovery. Projects in the exploration pipeline include Allendale where recent drilling in 2011 (as previously announced ASX:KFM 25 July 2025), includes

  • 10m@ 16.1% Pb+Zn and 29 g/t Ag from 15m in RCAN002

  • 2m@ 11.6% Pb+Zn and 39.2 g/t Ag from 47m in RCAN011

  • 2m@ 13.8% Pb+Zn and 51.1 g/t Ag from 117m in RCAN016

  • 2m @ 6.5% Cu and 17.6 g/t Ag from 71m in RCAN019
