OPERATIONS: GASCOYNE CRITICAL METALS
Since listing the company has undertaken the evaluation of and completed various drilling programs within both the Gascoyne and initially its Ashburton tenure. This work has resulted in the Company successfully making several hard rock and clay high-grade rare-earth elements discoveries over a parallel deep crustal shear system, similar to the Lyons deposits of Giffords Creek, the Yangibana Deposit and the Yin and C3 deposits to the North in the Gascoyne. Kingfisher to date has confirmed REE mineralisation over 20km of strike, predominately as dyke mineralisation which radiates from three main identified large defined carbonatite structures. The company has also identified a field of highly prospective lithium bearing Pegmatites at Chalby Chalby in the north of its tenements and proximal to other defined Lithium deposits. The Company has accumulated a tenement package of 938km[2] in the Gascoyne Region highly prospective for REE and Lithium which hosts a 54km potential REE mineralisation corridor along the Chalba Shear and more than 30km along the Lockier mineralised corridor.
The Company is well placed with its current capital structure, including approximately $1.8M in cash and listed investments as of 31 December 2024, to continue to pursue opportunities within, and outside of its existing tenure. To this end and with the Gascoyne tenure remaining in good standing due to the exploration spend undertaken to date, the Company will continue to evaluate opportunities to progress and add value to the tenement package in readiness for the inevitable improvement in the global REE market. However, although there are some signs of improvement in the Lithium and REE markets, it is anticipated at this stage that it may be some years away from a significant improvement to attract funding for REE and Lithium exploration projects. The company will continue to seek and review various opportunities to extend and diversify its portfolio in addition to its REE and Lithium prospects. Numerous opportunities have already been assessed, and we will continue to review these and other opportunities predominately focussed on Gold and Copper.
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 pipe 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).
In the second half of 2024 Kingfisher Mining successfully completed a co-funded diamond drilling program at the Mick Well Project, supported by the Western Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS). This program was designed to test these significant carbonatite pipe targets, believed to be key to the region’s rare earth element (REE) mineralisation (Figure 2).
The co-funded drilling yielded significant results, confirming two new REE mineralised lodes approximately 250 metres from previously identified zones. Notably, diamond drill hole MWDD001 intersected:
-
0.85 metres at 1.39% Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) and 0.20% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 74.1 metres, within a structurally controlled carbonatite dyke.
-
0.5 metres at 0.89% TREO and 0.14% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 485 metres, within a broader alteration zone indicative of proximity to a carbonatite source.

These findings not only expand the known extent of REE mineralisation at Mick Well but also reinforce the potential scale of the carbonatite system underlying the project area. The mineralisation is hosted within an extensive carbonatite alteration halo, which provides valuable geological insights and enhances our exploration model for targeting additional lodes within the system.
In addition to the REE mineralisation, the drilling program revealed significant base and precious metal intersections including:
- 0.2 metres at 1.70% Cu and 0.22 g/t Au from 128.15 metres in MWDD001.
This intersection underscores the multi-commodity potential of the Mick Well Project, reinforcing the presence of a substantial mineralising system capable of hosting both REE and base metal mineralisation. To further enhance our understanding of the mineral system, drill core samples from the program were been submitted for analysis using the HyLogger spectral scanner, a state-of-the-art instrument located at the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) Core Facility. The HyLogger will conduct detailed mineralogical and spectral analyses, allowing Kingfisher to:
-
Understand Alteration Mineralogy : Identify and map minerals associated with alteration zones, which are key indicators of mineralisation.
-
Determine Mineral Associations : Gain insights into the relationships between different minerals, aiding in vectoring towards zones of higher-grade mineralisation.
-
Refine Exploration Targeting : Utilize the spectral data to improve our geological models, enhancing the precision of future drilling campaigns
High grade discoveries of REE mineralisation have also 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 2).
-
MWRC068: 5m at 1.54% TREO with 0.30% Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 75m.

A second style of REE mineralisation also occurs at Mick Well, with REE mineralisation being hosted in kaolinite clays and weathered bedrock that occur from surface within the broad shears that are part of the extensive Chalba Shear Zone. Geological interpretation of the shear zone and associated clay mineralisation at Mick Well has highlighted a potential strike length of 6.5km and drilling has delineated widths of over 100m with vertical extents to 40m depth from surface. Significant drilling results from the clay mineralisation at Mick Well include:
-
MWRC020: 48m at 1265 ppm TREO with 257 ppm Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 4m, including 40m at 1367 ppm TREO with 278 ppm Nd2O3 + Pr6O11 from 8m.

Figure 3: Mick Well Prospect showing TREO results and the clay REE mineralisation target.
At the Ring Well Prospect, located approximately 12.3 km from Mick Well, surface sampling has identified exceptional high-grade copper mineralisation. Rock chip assays returned values of up to 21.6% copper (Cu), with mineralisation predominantly occurring as malachite with trace azurite and bornite over a 44metre strike length. These results represent a continuing opportunity within Kingfisher’s portfolio, particularly as the area remains untested by drilling or geophysical surveys.
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 4, Figure 5).

Figure 4 : 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 4). 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 5).

CHALBY CHALBY LITHIUM PROSPECT
The Chalby Chalby Lithium Prospect is in the north of Kingfisher’s extensive Gascoyne tenement holding (Figure 6). 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. 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 6).

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
Phone: 9466 9009
To the Members of Kingfisher Mining Limited
Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Kingfisher Mining Limited (“the Company”), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, 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 Limited 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 2024 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 2024 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.
