Kingfisher Closes Acquisition of the Ball Creek West (BAM) Project in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the acquisition of the Ball Creek West project (the “BAM Project”) from P2 Gold Inc. (“P2 Gold”) (the “Transaction”), which was previously announced on December 5, 2024. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, the Company issued 1,515,151 common shares in the capital of Kingfisher to P2 Gold and paid C$950,000 in cash to P2 Gold in exchange for the transfer of the BAM Project claims on closing of the Transaction.

The BAM Project is comprised of 54 claims totalling 18,893 hectares and is located immediately west and contiguous with Kingfisher’s HWY 37 Project, in Northwest British Columbia within the Golden Triangle. The BAM Project is highly prospective for Cu-Au porphyry systems with three grassroots, large-scale target areas: Northmore, Mess Creek, and Hickman. The Transaction will bring the Company’s consolidated HWY 37 Project to 819 km2 making it the largest contiguous project held by a non-producing company in the Golden Triangle.

In addition, the BAM Project is subject to underlying royalty agreements over the project that includes a 1% net smelter return to be retained by Evrim Exploration Canada Corp., a subsidiary of Orogen Royalties Inc. (“Orogen”), and a 2% net smelter return to be retained by Sandstorm Gold Ltd. (“Sandstorm”), as well as a provision for Orogen to buy down 1% of the Sandstorm net smelter return for C$1,000,000 and the right to up to C$4,100,000 in milestone payments. 

Consolidation of the Golden Triangle

  • The Golden Triangle is the most endowed region in Canada for large Cu-Au porphyry systems where neighbouring major miners Teck and Newmont hold Red Chris, Galore Creek, and Schaft Creek
  • Kingfisher entered the Golden Triangle in 2023 and has rapidly consolidated the largest contiguous non-producer held project in the region with 819 km2
  • The addition of three large-scale porphyry Cu-Au targets furthers the strategy of positioning Kingfisher as the premier Cu-Au explorer in the region
  • New tenure addition of 189 km2 is fully assessed with no holding costs until 2032

Kingfisher Strengthens Technical Team

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Tyler Caswell as Vice President of Exploration. Mr. Caswell has a wealth of porphyry Cu-Au experience throughout British Columbia and South America and recently held the same title at NorthWest Copper. 

Mr. Caswell is a registered professional geologist with over 20 years of experience in mineral exploration, having worked in Peru, Chile, Argentina, Laos, Nunavut, the Yukon, and northern British Columbia. He has focused on exploring for base and precious metals. Most recently, Mr. Caswell served as Vice President of Exploration for NorthWest Copper, where he led discovery teams at the Stardust Project, achieving a drilling result of 2.51% copper, 3.03 g/t gold, and 52.5 g/t silver over 100.0 meters. He was also involved in the KwanikaProject, where they drilled 2.00% copper, 1.21 g/t gold, and 5.3 g/t silver over 235.45 meters. His experience encompasses both producers and junior mining companies, covering brownfield and greenfield exploration programs. He holds a B.Sc. (with distinction) from the University of Victoria.

The addition of Mr. Caswell enhances the operations and exploration management capabilities of the Company’s team. This strategic addition enables Gayle Febbo, the previous Vice President of Exploration, to assume a technical role as Chief Geologist, allowing Kingfisher to effectively manage one of the most significant tenure positions in the Golden Triangle while enabling Ms. Febbo to focus solely on geoscience and drill targeting.

“I have been trying to recruit Tyler to the Kingfisher team for several years due to his expertise in discovery-stage project management and our shared enthusiasm for the discovery process. Given the exciting recent developments in our Company, we were finally able to make this happen. Adding Tyler to the team will not only provide immediate benefits but also facilitate our continued growth as a company. I am equally excited that Gayle can now dedicate 100% of her time to drill targeting and evaluating the highly prospective 819 km² tenure package we have assembled. An exploration company is only as good as its people and projects, and this move aligns with the aggressive consolidation we have undertaken,” states Dustin Perry, CEO.

“I am excited to join Kingfisher’s leadership group and contribute to their highly skilled technical team in my new role as VP Exploration. Kingfisher has a highly prospective and extensive land position in the Golden Triangle, and the team is very motivated to make a major discovery,” stated Mr. Caswell. “Now is an exciting time for Kingfisher, it is a company poised for success as copper projects are at the heart of the Global Critical Metals effort.”

Stock option grant

Kingfisher also announces the grant of 1,850,000 stock options that are exercisable for a period of five years at a price of C$0.17 per share to its directors, officers, and various staff members.
