QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES
During the Quarter, the Company successfully received government co-funding for drilling at Mick Well. Under the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) commencing in June 2024, Kingfisher will receive co-funding for drilling of the central and eastern carbonatite targets (Figure 1) which have been identified as the potential host of and main control of REE’s within the Mick Well REE field. Kingfisher has so far identified over 20kms of REE strike which in general radiate from the carbonatite targets. The government co-funding is a strong endorsement of the high-quality targets and technical work the Company has completed in advancing its REE discoveries at Mick Well.
The Company has completed the heritage clearances to drill and access the two carbonatite pipe targets as well as the high-grade dyke and vein discoveries at MW11, MW12 and MW14 (Figure 1 - 3). Additionally, preparation work was carried out for track and drill pad clearing works as well as the selection of a diamond drill contractor for drilling to commence in August 2024.

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 highgrade 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 (Figure 1).
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). 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 eastern pipes, with additional drilling planned in other locations.
Review of Base Metal Opportunities
Kingfisher is undertaking an on-going review of the base metal opportunities within the company’s tenure. 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 ASX: KFM 3 July 2024), further analysis has identified elevated bismuth (Bi) up to 0.26% (MWGS3256). Elevated bismuth commonly occurs within volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. The recently collected samples were re-assayed for gold, with a peak value of 0.6 g/t (MWGS3262) associated with a 10.76% Cu assay, see figure 4 with all new results included in Annexure 1 and historical results listed in Annexure 2. These new results and other identified base metal targets are planned to be followed up during the upcoming carbonatite diamond drilling program.

COMPANY PROJECTS
Kingfisher Mining Limited (ASX:KFM) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is a critical metals focussed company through its wholly owned projects in the highly prospective Gascoyne Mineral Field of Western Australia.
GASCOYNE CRITICAL METALS
Kingfisher’s breakthrough Mick Well REE discovery and its Chalby Chalby Lithium Project both occur within the Company’s extensive 938km[2] Gascoyne tenement holding which covers a strike length of 54km along the crustal-scale Chalba Shear Zone (Figure 5). 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 (see ASX:HAS 11 October 2022) as well as the recent Yin and C3 discoveries of Dreadnought Resources which include mineral resources of 40.82Mt at 1.03% TREO (see ASX:DRE 30 November 2023). The Company’s Gascoyne tenure is also prospective for lithium-bearing Thirty Three Suite Pegmatites that host Delta Lithium’s Yinnetharra Project which has a mineral resource of 25.7Mt at 1.0% Li2O (see ASX:DLI 27 December 2023).
Mick Well REE Project
Mick Well occurs within a large-scale carbonatite intrusion centre that extends over an area of 10km by 7km. The Company has delineated 20km of strike of high-grade REE mineralisation in dykes and veins which envelop and radiate away from three pipe-like features that have been delineated from geophysical surveys. Each of the large pipes targets 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-scale area of outcropping carbonatites and associated fenite alteration. Kingfisher has interpreted the three pipe-like features to be the potential source of the high-grade dyke and vein mineralisation as well as the clay-hosted REEs that also occur in the area (Figure 6).

High grade discoveries of REE mineralisation have been made by the Company at MW2, MW7, MW8, MW9, MW10, MW11, MW12, MW13 and MW14. The REE mineralisation dominantly occurs as monazite and is associated with ferrocarbonatite intrusions and exceptionally high-grade veins that fill structures around the modelled intrusion centres. Drilling at MW2 has returned the following highly encouraging results:
-
MWRC011: 5m at 3.45% TREO with 0.65% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 102m, including 3m at 5.21% TREO with 0.98% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 102m.
-
MWRC033: 3m at 2.52% TREO with 0.41% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 46m.
-
MWRC035: 4m at 3.24% TREO with 0.54% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 46m.
-
MWRC059: 4m at 1.90% TREO with 0.34% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 65m, including 3m at 2.42% TREO with 0.43% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 65m.
-
MWRC067: 5m at 2.63% TREO with 0.54% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 124m, including 3m at 4.11% TREO with 0.85% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 124m (Figure 7).
-
MWRC068: 5m at 1.54% TREO with 0.30% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 75m (Figure 7) .
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.

LK1 REE Prospect
The large-scale LK1 Prospect is located 30km west of the Company’s breakthrough Mick Well REE discoveries on a separate large shear zone, the Lockier Shear Zone. LK1 is more than 9km long and more than 6.5km wide and was identified by Company due to similarities with the Company’s breakthrough Mick Well REE discoveries. The large-scale prospect is comprised of multiple circular features which are defined by the magnetics and thorium responses, with a ring-shaped thorium feature having a diameter of 1.7km (see ASX:KFM 18 January 2023).
Four large carbonatite pipe targets have been identified at the LK1 Prospect from three-dimensional modelling of the gravity and magnetics data. The two larger LK1 pipe targets are both more than 1,000m in diameter, extending from the near surface to depths of more than 1,000m below the ground surface. The combination of magnetic, thorium and potassium responses of the target together with the threedimensional geophysical models appear similar to the architecture of the carbonatite intrusion model, with potential for carbonatite pipes and the associated vein and dyke mineralisation (Figure 8, Figure 9).

Figure 9 : LK1 surface REE geochemistry and carbonatite pipe targets. The REE geochemistry has been calculated from a suite consisting of CeO2, La2O3, Nd2O3 and Pr6O11. The carbonatite pipe targets were derived from three-dimensional modelling of the combined magnetics and gravity geophysics data. Anomalous rock chip results associated with the southwestern carbonatite pipe target as well as the peak soil geochemistry value of 0.21% LREO are also shown.
Surface mapping at LK1 has confirmed the presence of ironstones, which have returned anomalous rock chip results of 0.12% and 0.10% TREO. The mapping, geophysics and geochemistry also indicate there are other rock types under cover which are yet to be fully identified.
Several areas with highly anomalous REEs, including a large area with a diameter which extends for more than 2km have also been identified from a soil geochemistry survey completed by the Company. The REE soil anomalies are based on an LREO suite consisting of CeO2, La2O3, Nd2O3 and Pr6O11. The high magnitude surface geochemistry results which include a peak value of 0.21% LREO are spatially associated with the carbonatite pipe targets (Figure 9). The broad soil anomaly in the northeast of the target area is also coincident with a circular radiometric feature, a highly significant occurrence and one of the key features recognised during the early-stage target identification at LK1 (Figure 10).

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 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). 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:
Figure 11: 3D schematic of a carbonatite intrusion[+]
-
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.

Chalby Chalby Lithium Prospect
The Chalby Chalby Lithium Prospect is in the north of Kingfisher’s extensive Gascoyne tenement holding (Figure 13). Mapping and sampling for lithium at Chalby Chalby has delineated multiple stacked pegmatites with a cumulative strike length of over 13km and with rock chip results up to 0.61% Li2O (see ASX:KFM 11 September 2023). The pegmatites occur within broad areas of lithium soil anomalism extending up to 1,600m in length and 800m in width. The lithium soil anomalies are associated with, and extend beyond mapped pegmatites, highlighting the potential for discovery of additional lithium-bearing pegmatites (see ASX:KFM 26 October 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 spodumene-bearing mineralisation has been reported from Delta Lithium’s Yinnetharra Project, which is located 40km northeast of Chalby Chalby and now includes a mineral resource of 25.7Mt at 1.0% Li2O (see ASX:DLI 27 December 2023). Minerals 260 Limited has also defined a 5km long continuous lithium trend at Pyramid Hill (see ASX:MI6 4 September 2023), 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 14).
