  • Large-scale airborne radiometrics and magnetics surveys identified numerous potential carbonatite intrusions across the entire length of the 54km Chalba shear and along the 30km of the Lockier shear. A significant new large target, CH10, identified at Kingfisher South consists of a distinct circular magnetic feature 2km in diameter.

  • Multiple targets identified from the newly acquired geophysics at Arthur River. A large REE target LK1 features several circular (>2km diameter) magnetic and thorium responses, interpreted to be associated of carbonatites intrusions.

Kingfisher Mining Limited ( ASX:KFM ) ( “Kingfisher” or the “Company” ) is pleased to provide an update on its activities for the March 2023 Quarter. Commenting on the Company’s activities during the Quarter, Kingfisher’s Executive Director and CEO James Farrell said: “The March Quarter saw the Company continue its rapid development of its rare earth elements discoveries across its extensive tenement holding in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.

The significant potential of the MW2 discovery was confirmed from drilling results received during the Quarter which returned further high grade REE results across the entire strike length of the drilling, with the mineralisation remaining open along strike and at depth.

The potential for discovery of additional high grade REEs was also highlighted by results from our on-going surface mapping, with additional results from MW2 and MW7 extending the cumulative strike length of the mineralised lodes in the Mick Well area to more than 6.5km. Mapping in the

ASX Announcement: 24 April 2023

Kingfisher area, 15km east of Mick Well, also led to the discovery of a new area of outcropping mineralisation at KF3, with a surface sample result returning more than 32% TREO.

We received results from our large-scale airborne geophysical surveys across the Chalba target corridor and our Arthur River project. The surveys are enormously encouraging, with high quality targets identified along the entire length of the target corridors; these targets are now being systematically advanced as part of our on-going fieldwork. Further geophysical surveys have also been planned for the North Chalba and Mooloo areas will complete the high resolution geophysics coverage across our entire Gascoyne tenement holdings.

Kingfisher is uniquely positioned to build on its REE discoveries with tenure covering 84km of strike along the Chalba and Lockier REE target corridors. Fieldwork is now underway for the 2023 field season, with exploration activities focused on the discovery of large-scale ‘Mt Weld style’ carbonatite intrusions which we interpret to be the source of mineralisation in our discoveries and our exciting high priority REE targets.”

COMPANY PROJECTS

Kingfisher 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 MINERAL FIELD: MICK WELL AND KINGFISHER PROJECTS

The Mick Well and Kingfisher Projects are located approximately 230km east of Carnarvon, in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia (Figure 1). The Company has recently made three hard rock REE discoveries at Mick Well as well as a high-grade REE discovery at the Kingfisher Project. 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 worldclass Yangibana Deposit which includes 29.93Mt at 0.93% TREO (see ASX:HAS 11 October 2022) and the Yin Deposit which includes 14.36Mt 1.13% TREO (see ASX:DRE 28 December 2022) as well as rocks of the Archean Halfway Gneiss.

MW2 Drilling Results

Drilling results from MW2 were received during the Quarter from the Company’s latest RC program which was designed to target REE mineralisation identified by the Company from its on-going surface mapping and sampling (see ASX:KFM 20 June 2022, 30 August 2022 and 4 October 2022). The mineralisation targeted in the program is located 500m northwest of Kingfisher’s initial discovery in the MW2 area, where previously reported high grade results included 5m at 3.45% TREO, including 3m at 5.21% TREO (see ASX:KFM 5 July 2022) as well as 12m at 1.12% TREO, with 4m at 1.84% TREO (see ASX:KFM 24 March 2022).

Figure 2: Sample trays from MWRC067 showing REE mineralisation, assay results (TREO%) and well developed fenite alteration which is associated with the intrusion of carbonatites.

The intersections from MW2 are comparable to results reported by Hastings Technology Metals from the Bald Hill deposit which makes up over half of the mineral resources of Hasting’s world-class Yangibana Project (see ASX:HAS 25 July 2022, Appendix 2).

The MW2 mineralisation occurs in five separate lodes, with high REE grades distributed across the entire strike length of the mineralised zone (Figure 3). The high grade REE mineralisation outcrops at surface, with the deepest mineralisation so far being intersected at a vertical depth of approximately 115m. In addition, the highest grade mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth. The mineralisation also consists dominantly of monazite, an important host globally for the magnet REEs, neodymium and praseodymium and is also low in thorium, with thorium typically being less than 200ppm for the reported mineralisation intervals.

The mineralisation occurs within broad zones of well-developed fenite alteration, the alteration is specifically associated with the intrusion of carbonatites. The scale and intensity of the fenite alteration is highly encouraging from an exploration perspective, providing evidence of the presence of a large-scale mineral system within the Company’s 54km long Chalba target corridor. The fenites also contain highly anomalous REEs, with drill hole MWRC037 intersecting 62m at 0.29% TREO.

A plan view of the MW2 mineralisation is shown in Figure 3, with four cross-sections showing the mineralisation and broad zones of fenite alteration shown in Figure 4 to figure 7.

MW2 Surface Sampling Results

The latest surface sampling results from MW2 received during the Quarter have further extended the high grade outcropping monazite-rich mineralisation. The mineralisation occurs in five parallel lodes which are associated with the intrusion of ferrocarbonatite dykes that occur within a 300m wide zone extending for over 2.4km (Figure 8). New high grade results from the strike extensions to MW2 include:

  • 30.54% TREO with 5.08% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1610)

Results are stated as Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO%) and total Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (%) content.

The results from mapping and surface sampling in the Mick Well area received during the Quarter also led to the identification of new areas of mineralisation. The newly discovered mineralisation appears on a different trend, with an east-west strike (Figure 8). The mineralisation also has a higher NdPr ratio than other outcropping REE mineralisation in the Mick Well area. First-pass sampling returning results include:

  • 0.30% TREO with 0.05% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1621)

  • 1.99% TREO with 0.46% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1622)

  • 0.21% TREO with 0.04% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (MWGS1623)

The latest results from Mick Well confirm the significance of the NE-trending magnetic features to be associated with the high-grade mineralisation and the late-stage intrusion of ferrocarbonatite dykes (Figure 9).

Kingfisher: KF3

During the Quarter, the discovery of high grade REE mineralisation was reported from the new KF3 target, with a single sample consisting dominantly of monazite returning 32.16% TREO with 5.25% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 (Figure 10). The sample was collected as part of the Company’s regional geological mapping and is associated with a distinct magnetic feature and a broad area of fenite alteration (the alteration associated with the intrusion of carbonatites) that extends over a strike of 5km and is more than 500m in width. Follow-up mapping focused on delineating the mineralisation will be completed as a high priority as part of the Company’s 2023 field program.

Gascoyne REE Project Generation

The results from airborne magnetics and radiometrics surveys completed at the Company’s Gascoyne REE projects were received during the Quarter. The survey included 11,875 line kilometres and extended the strike length of highresolution geophysics by 26km across the Company’s 54km Chalba target corridor, with the airborne surveys also complete across the Arthur River tenements on the Company’s second target corridor, the Lockier zone.

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 11). 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 12).

==> picture [184 x 140] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 11: 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.

  • 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 make it a very powerful combination of tools for early stage targeting and project generation.

Mick Well and Kingfisher Exploration Targets

The carbonatite exploration model together with the results obtained from the Company’s recent airborne geophysical surveys and other exploration data has been used to generate high quality, high priority exploration targets across the entire 54km strike length of the Chalba target corridor. Ten high priority target areas have been identified at the Mick Well and Kingfisher Projects from a combination of magnetic, potassium and thorium features (Figure 13 and Figure 14). The target areas are very large scale, ranging in size from 0.7km[2] to 18km[2] .

Of significance is a large-scale target delineated at Kingfisher South (CH10), where geological mapping has already confirmed the presence of ferrocarbonatite intrusions (see ASX:KFM 21 December 2021). The target includes a central area defined by a distinct circular magnetic feature with a diameter of approximately 2km which is surrounded by an area of high thorium and potassium which extends over a length of more than 6km along the Chalba target corridor; features that are associated with mineralisation in the carbonatite exploration model.

High priority targets CH2 and CH5 have already been scheduled for immediate 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 progressively advanced in line with the Company’s exploration target ranking system.

Arthur River Exploration Targets

Seven large-scale target areas have been identified in the Arthur River targets from the interpretation of the Company’s recent geophysical surveys (see ASX:KFM 18 January 2023), with each target selected from a combination of magnetic, potassium and thorium features (Figure 15 and Figure 16). The targets include circular magnetic high features which range in diameter from 500m to 1000m and have a similar appearance to the magnetic high at the giant Mt Weld deposit, which has a diameter of 4km. Tens of other smaller circular features have also been identified in the magnetic data; each of these high magnetic features, particularly where these are clustered or where they are co-located 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 15 and Figure 16) having a diameter of 1.7km.

Surface mapping and sampling at the high priority targets LK1, LK2 and LK3 commenced during the Quarter, where interpreted carbonates and circular or oval-shaped features in the geophysical data are indicative of intrusion pipes.

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 17).

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 17, 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 ground-based 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).

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 18). 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. Follow-up 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] .

2023 Exploration Program

Kingfisher is currently undertaking a high impact and value building exploration program 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 in 2022, which confirmed the presence of high grade REE mineralisation along the Chala target corridor.

The exploration work being undertaken in the 2023 field season includes:

  • 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 large-scale source of intrusions. The results will be used for drill planning of the high priority targets.

  • RC drilling at Mick Well, Kingfisher and Arthur River. The maiden drilling planned for MW7 and MW8 as well as infill and extensional drilling at MW2 will be deferred until midyear to allow the Company to focus on high priority, large scale and high value targets identified from the recent geophysical surveys reported in January this year.

  • 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.

  • Ground-based gravity at LK1. The gravity survey will be used to model higher density rocks (potential mineralised carbonatites) at depth.

  • 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.

  • Airborne hyperspectral across the Chalba shear zone from MW8 to KF3. The hyperspectral technique can directly detect neodymium and is highly effective for identifying alteration associated with mineralisation.

The exploration plan enables rapid and cost-effective target progression, with significant effort being directed towards the discovery of new mineralisation at Arthur River.

The timeline for the planned and completed activities for 2023 for Kingfisher’s projects are shown below.
