COMPANY PROJECTS
Kingfisher Mining Limited (ASX:KFM) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is focused on exploration at its wholly owned projects in the Gascoyne and Ashburton Mineral Fields of Western Australia. In the Gascoyne region, the Mick Well, Kingfisher and Arthur River Projects are prospective for REE mineralisation which is associated with a series of carbonatite intrusions discovered by the Company in late 2021. In the Ashburton region, the Company has advanced its copper and gold exploration projects at Boolaloo, which is located approximately 35km from the Paulsens gold mine.
The Company has made a number of breakthrough high grade REE discoveries in the Gascoyne region where it holds a target strike lengths of more than 54km along the Chalba mineralised corridor and more than 30km along the Lockier mineralised corridor. The Company has also secured significant landholdings across the interpreted extensions to its advanced copper-gold exploration targets giving it more than 30km of strike across the Boolaloo Project.
GASCOYNE RARE EARTHS PROJECTS
The Mick Well REE Project is located approximately 230km east of Carnarvon, in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia (Figure 1). The Company has recently made four hard rock REE discoveries at Mick Well. The mineralisation occurs in a series of dykes and veins and is associated with carbonatites that intruded along a structural corridor which extends over a strike length of 54km within the Company’s tenure. The tenure also includes rocks of the Proterozoic Durlacher Suite that hosts the world-class Yangibana Deposit which includes Mineral Resources of 29.93Mt at 0.93% TREO (see ASX:HAS 11 October 2022) and the Yin Deposit which includes Mineral Resources of 20.06Mt at 1.03% TREO (see ASX:DRE 5 July 2023) as well as rocks of the Archean Halfway Gneiss.
Mick Well: High Grade REE Discoveries
Mapping and sampling in the Mick Well area during the Quarter continued to target the source carbonatite intrusions for the high grade Mick Well vein and dyke mineralisation. The work produced seven new REE discoveries around the CH1 intrusion centre, including the newly identified MW9 target (Figure 2). The discoveries all lie within a NE-trending mineralisation zone that cross-cuts the 54km target corridor. The Mick Well mineralised zone is comprised of multiple parallel monazite-dominant lodes that now exceed a strike length of over 9km. Further high-grade results from the Mick Well reported during the Quarter area include:
-
18.84% TREO with 3.34% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS2247)
-
13.33% TREO with 2.06% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1866)

Large-Scale Carbonatite Intrusions
Three new carbonatite pipe targets were identified from a gravity survey at Mick Well which was completed during the Quarter (see ASX:KFM 23 October 2023). The three large carbonatite pipe targets are all below the high grade vein and dyke REE mineralisation and were generated through three-dimensional modelling of the gravity and magnetics data (Figure 3). 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.

Kingfisher’s large-scale carbonatite intrusions exploration is continuing to advance along the extensive 54km Chalba and 30km long Lockier target corridors. Mapping and sampling at CH8 and CH11 reported during the Quarter successfully confirmed ferrocarbonatite intrusions, with demonstrated fertility for REE mineralisation at the CH8 intrusion which returned a rock chip sample with 0.14% TREO (Figure 5, ASX:KFM 10 July 2023).

Vein and dyke mineralisation has also been discovered close to the CH9 intrusion centre located at the western end of the 54km long Chalba target corridor and is more than 22km along strike from MW2 (Figure 6). The newly discovered mineralised dykes includes surface sample results of up to 0.68% TREO (MWGS2713, see ASX:KFM 3 October 2023). These results are from an area with limited surface outcrop which makes it a compelling target and a surface geochemical program will be a key next step for advancing the discovery.

LK1 Exploration Target
The large-scale LK1 target is more than 9km long and more than 6.5km wide and is comprised of multiple circular features which are defined by the magnetics and thorium, with a ring-shaped thorium feature having a diameter of 1.7km (see ASX:KFM 18 January 2023). The combination of magnetic, thorium and potassium responses of the target appear similar to the architecture of the carbonatite intrusion model, with potential for carbonatite plugs and the associated vein and dyke mineralisation (Figure 7).
Past exploration in the Arthur River area has established the potential for carbonatite intrusion-related REE mineralisation at the LK1 target, with previous drilling and surface sampling establishing the presence of siderite and potassic alteration, numerous anomalous REEs as well as pathfinder elements. Previous exploration results include:
-
Broad zones of ironstone and siderite intersected in multiple drill holes completed by Barranco Resources (Wamex report A78338). Siderite-rich ironstones host the REE mineralisation within the Gifford Creek Carbonatite complex, including at Dreadnought Resources’ Yin discovery[^] .
-
Significant areas of ironstone have been mapped at surface, with limited surface sample results confirming the presence of highly anomalous rare earth elements, including 1170 ppm La and 166 ppm Y (Figure 7, Wamex report A57341) as well as other samples with 700 ppm Ce and 600 ppm Ce (Wamex report A65851). Results from samples similar La and Ce values with analysis of the full suite of REE element from Kingfisher’s Mick Well are typically in the order of 0.5% and 0.3% TREO (see ASX:KFM 30 August 2022).
-
Kingfisher’s work in the Mick Well area has established a relationship between REEs and various pathfinder elements, including Ba, Sr, P, Co, Ni and Zn. Drilling in the LK1 area completed by Rio Tinto Exploration (four holes) was only analysed for Ce, La and Y as well as a number of pathfinder elements. Assays from the Rio Tinto Exploration drilling returned anomalous REEs and key pathfinder elements, including 340 ppm Ce, 195 ppm La, 125 ppm Y, 1100 ppm Ba and 8900 ppm P

(Table 1, Wamex report A65851) supporting the potential for carbonatite-related REE mineralisation.
-
Drilling by Barranco Resources targeted base metal-bearing ironstones and the 25 RC holes drilled by Baranco were not analysed for REEs. However, the drilling did return highly anomalous results for the pathfinder element Zn (Table 1), with results from ironstones which included 25m at 0.29% Zn from surface (RC5, Wamex report A78338) and 22m at 0.29% Zn from 1m (RC25, Wamex report A82640).
-
Fenite alteration has been intersected in drilling and has been recorded from petrographic analysis of surface samples close to the ironstone outcrops (Wamex report A65851).
-
Moderate to weak conductors coincident with the ironstones have been identified from groundbased Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) surveys in the LK1 area (Wamex report A75273). The REE mineralisation at Mick Well is also conductive, with the high grade REE mineralisation at MW2 identified from drilling a conductor target from Kingfisher’s airborne electromagnetic survey (see ASX:KFM 10 January 2022).
-
The previous exploration results from LK1 are highly encouraging for the potential for the discovery of large-scale carbonatites and associated REE mineralisation. Access to LK1 has now been established and the Company plans to focus on additional exploration works during the September Quarter to confirm the extent of mineralisation at LK1.

The Carbonatite Exploration Model
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 8). 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 9).
==> picture [170 x 129] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 8: 3D schematic of a carbonatite intrusion[+]
Each part of the carbonatite system has characteristics which can be detected by modern exploration techniques, for example:
-
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.
-
Carbonatites typically have high density and can be distinguished from the country rocks by gravity surveys.
-
ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) remote sensing 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.
The combination of these geophysical responses to the carbonatite geology provide a very powerful combination of exploration tools for early stage targeting and project generation.

GASCOYNE LITHIUM PROJECTS
The Chalby Chalby Lithium Project is in north of Kingfisher’s extensive Gascoyne tenement holding (Figure 10). Mapping and sampling for lithium at the Company’s Chalby Chalby project has delineated multiple stacked pegmatites with a cumulative strike length of over 13km and with surface sample results up to 0.61% Li2O (see ASX:KFM 11 September 2023).
Recent exploration by Delta Lithium Limited has highlighted the potential of the Gascoyne Thirty Three Suite Pegmatites to host potentially economic lithium mineralisation. Significant and high grade spodumene-bearing mineralisation has been reported from Delta Lithium’s Yinnetharra Project, which is located 40km northeast of Chalby Chalby. Recent exploration results from Yinnetharra include drill results of 33m at 1.9% Li2O (see ASX:DLI 23 June 2023) from the Malinda Prospect and rock chips results from Jamesons Prospect that include 4.2% Li2O (see ASX:RDT 14 April 2023). Minerals 260 Limited has also defined a 5km long continuous lithium trend at Pyramid Hill[<] , which is immediately along strike from Chalby Chalby. The mapping of pegmatites highlights a pegmatite target zone which extends more than 22km around a large granite intrusion of the Durlacher Suite (Figure 11).
Chalby Chalby Lithium Prospect
During the Quarter, the Company added the Chalby Chalby Prospect to its portfolio. The lithium prospectivity of the project is advancing rapidly, with mapping and rock chip sampling identifying a cumulative strike length of over 13km of pegmatites and initial assay results that include 0.61%, 0.46%, 0.37% and 0.34% Li2O (see ASX:KFM 7 August 2023 and 11 September 2023).
A first pass and wide spaced soil geochemistry program was also completed by the Company subsequent to the Quarter. The survey returned broad areas of lithium soil anomalism extending up to 1,600m in length and 800m in width. The lithium soil anomalies are associated with mapped pegmatites and extend beyond the known pegmatites, highlighting the potential for discovery of additional lithiumbearing pegmatites (see ASX:KFM 26 October 2023). A map showing the location of the soil samples, mapped pegmatites and rock chip results is shown in Figure 12.

ASHBURTON MINERAL FIELD: BOOLALOO PROJECT
The Boolaloo copper-gold and base metal project is located approximately 160km west of Paraburdoo and 35km southwest of the Paulsen's gold mine in the Ashburton region of Western Australia (Figure 13). The Company has granted exploration licences over the potential strike extents of the interpreted mineralised structures, giving a significant strategic holding in an emerging province and tenure which now covers more than 30km of this strike.
Past exploration established the potential for the discovery of copper mineralisation at the project, with previous reverse circulation (RC) returning encouraging results at the K15, K16 and Copper Strike Prospects, with the K16 mineralised zone being intersected in drilling over a strike length of 1.5km. Followup diamond and RC drilling by Kingfisher has identified additional mineralisation at Copper Strike and Erny Bore and resulted in the discovery of new copper and gold mineralisation at the Green Hills Prospect.
Significant drilling results from the Boolaloo Project include:
K15
- MIRC013: 3m at 3.05% Cu and 0.57 g/t Au from 63m, including 2m at 3.90% Cu and 0.77 g/t Au from 63m[1] .
K16
-
MIRC002: 4m at 1.06% Cu and 1.40 g/t Au from 109m, including 1m at 1.41% Cu and 2.70 g/t Au from 110m[1] .
-
MIRC004: 3m at 1.83% Cu and 1.12 g/t Au from 96m, including 1m at 3.14% Cu and 1.38 g/t Au from 96m[1] .
-
MIRC009 : 2m at 1.44% Cu and 1.36 g/t Au from 137m, including 1m at 2.28% Cu and 2.28 g/t Au from 138m[1] .
Copper Strike
-
MIRC027: 2m at 3.81% Cu and 0.62 g/t Au from 62m[2] .
-
BLDD003: 10.05m at 0.84% Cu and 0.11 g/t Au from 23.15m, including 2.7m at 1.45% Cu and 0.14 g/t Au from 23.15m and 0.85m at 2.68% Cu and 0.49 g/t Au from 32.35m.
Green Hills
-

Gascoyne Exploration Program
Kingfisher is undertaking high impact and value building exploration programs targeting large-scale carbonatite targets along its 54km Chalba target corridor and its 30km long Lockier target corridor. The program will test high priority carbonatite targets across the Company’s belt-scale tenement holding, building upon the significant carbonatite discoveries, which confirmed the presence of high grade REE mineralisation along the Chalba target corridor. In addition, the Company is undertaking exploration for lithium associated with various pegmatite outcrops within its tenements at Chalby Chalby.
The exploration work planned for the 2023 field season will include:
-
Significant on-ground mapping and sampling targeting interpreted "Mt Weld style" carbonatite plugs as well as dyke mineralisation and alteration which can be used to vector towards the largescale source of intrusions. The results will be used for drill planning of the high priority targets.
-
RC drilling to test carbonatite targets at Mick Well, Kingfisher and Arthur River.

-
Ground-based gravity at LK1 and Mick Well. The gravity survey will be used to model higher density rocks (potential mineralised carbonatites) at depth.
-
Surface geochemical survey over the large-scale high priority LK1 target at Arthur River, where mapping is restricted by deep weathering associated with the highly altered rocks and cover.
-
Surface geochemistry at Chalby Chalby to define additional lithium-bearing pegmatite drill targets.
-
Further airborne geophysics to incorporate Mooloo and North Chalba Projects to our early-stage target generation. Magnetics and radiometrics are highly effective for identifying carbonatite mineralisation.
