Drilling Commences at Kingfisher Nickel-Copper prospect following Confirmation of Two Strong Bedrock EM Conductors

Target modelled at 255m (vertcal depth): to be tested with three 100m spaced RC drill holes

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Two anomalous bedrock conductors confirmed from recent MLEM survey.

  • Both targets, KFC1 and KFC2 are interpreted to be bedrock conductors consistent with an accumulation of sulphides.

  • Vertical RC drilling has commenced at the priority KFC2 target.

Kin Mining (ASX:KIN) is pleased to advise that it has commenced Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling to test the first of two highly prospective EM targets at its Kingfisher Nickel-Copper PGE prospect (M40/330) located near Leonora in WA.

An initial three hole drill programme for approximately 900m, targeting Kingfisher Conductor Two (KFC2), one of two bedrock geophysical conductors identified in a recent Moving Loop Electro Magnetic (MLEM) survey has commenced.

Further to its ASX Announcement of 8[th] October 2014, the Company has received further positive results from the infill MLEM survey which was managed and interpreted by Newexco Services Pty Ltd. The results have enabled Newexco to confirm and model the two conductors.

GEM Geophysics under the supervision of Newexco (25/9/14 - 12/10/14) collected MLEM geophysical data at Kingfisher by surveying the entire tenement with 133 sounding stations along 12 profiles for an advance of 12.1 line kilometres.

Results are regarded as positive with two conductors identified as a result of the geophysical MLEM survey, namely Kingfisher Conductor One (KFC1) and Kingfisher Conductor Two (KFC2). Both are genuine bedrock conductors displaying pronounced exponential decays observed at multiple survey stations on multiple 200m spaced survey lines. Decay analysis shows a clear exponential decay at late time with constraints in the range of 8-16ms, the time constants are consistent with an accumulation of sulphides.

Conductor KFC2 represents a high priority target with the response interpreted to be centred on line 6784200mN with contiguous anomalism also identified on 6784600mN and 6784800mN; the later northern response may explain the KFC2 (north) conductor at depth.

The southern conductive plate KFC2 south is currently being RC drilled. Drilling will target the top of the electromagnetic response, at a modelled depth of 255 vertical metres, in an area that has not been subjected to any deep historical drilling.

Three vertical RC holes (KF14RC001-003) are planned at 100m line spacing centred on the peak KFC2 response. Follow up additional drilling of other conductors; KFC2 north and KFC1 are proposed pending initial assay results (Figure 1).

Details of the programme are set out in the following table.

340360 6784200 KF14RC001 255
340380 6784300 KF14RC003 255-260

The RC drilling programme commenced on Tuesday (21/10/14) with the first 300m drill hole (KF14RC001) already collared.

The western conductor, KFC1, represents a strike extensive bedrock conductor displayed on multiple lines over at least 1,200m of strike; however, total survey coverage was not completed as the lines approaching KFC1 were confined to Kin tenure.

An additional follow-up EM survey is recommended to accurately model the source of the geophysical response at KFC1.
