OPERATIONS: GASCOYNE CRITICAL METALS
Kingfisher is advancing its critical metals exploration at its extensive tenement holding and wholly owned projects in the highly prospective Gascoyne Mineral Field of Western Australia. The Company’s breakthrough Mick Well REE discovery and its Chalby Chalby Lithium Project both occur within the crustalscale Chalba Shear Zone which extends over a strike length of 54km within the Company’s tenure (Figure 1). The exciting landholding 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 pips 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 2).
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 3).
-
MWRC068: 5m at 1.54% TREO with 0.30% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 75m.

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 the 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 5, Figure 6).

Figure 6 : 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 6). 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 7).

CHALBY CHALBY LITHIUM PROSPECT
The Chalby Chalby Lithium Prospect is in the north of Kingfisher’s extensive Gascoyne tenement holding (Figure 8). 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 9).

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
Phone: 9466 9009
To the Members of Kingfisher Mining Ltd
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Kingfisher Mining Ltd (“the Company”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Kingfisher Mining Ltd does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a. Giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants ( including Independence Standards ) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Responsibility of the Directors for the Half-Year Financial Report
The Directors are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives us a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the
==> picture [75 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Half-Year Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
