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 LGM Project from Origen Resources Inc. (“Origen”), which was previously announced on June 6, 2024. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, the Company issued 3,000,000 common shares in the capital of Kingfisher to Origen and paid C$75,000 in cash to Origen in exchange for the transfer of the LGM Project claims on closing.

The 26,771 HaLGM Project is located immediately south and contiguous with Kingfisher’s HWY 37 Project, in Northwest British Columbia within the Golden Triangle. In addition, the LGM Property is subject to underlying royalty agreements over different parts of the project that range from 1 to 2% with Triple Flag Precious Metals (1%), Ryan Kalt (2%), and Carl von Einsiedel (2%). 

LGM Project Highlights

• Expansion of contiguous holdings in the Golden Triangle from 362 km² to 630 km² including KSM-type targets in west, alkalic Galore Creek-type targets in central region (Grizzly and Lucifer) and unexplored Eskay Creek-type stratigraphy to the east.

• Grizzly Target trench sampling from 2006 returned 0.74% Cu and 1.09 g/t Au over 38 m.

• The LGM Project represents one of only three silica-undersaturated magmatic-volcanic complexes in the Golden Triangle with discovery potential for Galore Creek-type porphyry systems and has only seen 3,988 m of drilling.

• Historical stream sampling at Lucifer outlined a 4 km-long trend of highly anomalous stream sediment samples grading up to 7.8 g/t Au – similar in strength and scale to the Hank epithermal deposit signature at HWY 37.

• LGM Project is fully permitted for diamond drilling.

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to initiate phase 1 exploration for the 2024 field season at the HWY 37, LGM, and Thibert projects in British Columbia.

Highlights

• 1253 line-km ZTEM airborne geophysical survey at HWY 37 and LGM projects starting late June
• VRIFY AI machine learning across HWY 37 and LGM projects underway
• ZTEM results will see follow-up mapping and IP surveys on priority targets at HWY 37 and LGM
• Soil and till sampling campaign at Thibert Project in June to follow up on prospectivity modeling completed over winter 2023-2024

Dustin Perry, CEO states “We are excited to get started with our 2024 field programs in northern BC. The goal of the ZTEM survey is to fingerprint the known porphyry centers at HWY 37 and LGM projects and discover new systems with the help of VRIFY AI. Following this survey, we will rate and rank targets and follow up with focused mapping and IP surveys. This will all lead into drill targeting for potential new discoveries within our large land position in the prolific Golden Triangle.”

HWY 37 Project and LGM Project Summary

The contiguous HWY 37 and LGM projects cover 630 km² within the prolific Golden Triangle and are host to porphyry, epithermal, and VMS mineralization spanning from the Late Triassic to Mid-Jurassic. 

The oldest mineralization on the combined projects belongs to the Galore Creek Suite intrusions (Late Triassic) with silica-undersaturated porphyry Cu-Au mineralization at the Grizzly Target. Galore Creek Suite intrusions are also responsible for the world-class Galore Creek deposit (Teck/Newmont) located 50 km to the west. Historical trenching at Grizzly returned 0.74% Cu and 1.09 g/t Au over 38 m.

Texas Creek intrusions (Early Jurassic) are the most widespread intrusive bodies at the project covering over 25 km accompanied by widespread geochemical anomalies and alteration. Mary, Williams, Rainbow, and Hank mineral systems are all related to these intrusive bodies which are also responsible for mineralization in the Sulphurets District (KSM, Treaty Creek, and Brucejack) and the Snip-Iskut District. The Company notes that mineralization on nearby projects or metal districts is not indicative of mineralization on the HWY 37 or LGM projects. Historical drilling on the HWY 37 Project outlined three porphyry centers and one epithermal center. 

Williams Cu-Au

The Williams porphyry deposit was discovered from 2017-2019 and is highlighted by intercepts such as 0.39 g/t Au and 0.33% Cu over 346.7 m. Williams sits adjacent to the 6 km-long Hank epithermal Au-Ag deposit and outcrops in the valley bottom with potassic alteration at surface. The increased copper to gold ratios at Williams, situated at a low elevation relative other porphyry targets in the district, demonstrates the potential for higher copper grades at depth across the project.  Williams lies within a

Mary Cu-Au

The Mary porphyry deposit is highlighted by intercepts such as 0.48 g/t Au and 0.14% Cu over 291.5 m and 0.54 g/t Au and 0.12% Cu over 430.7 m.  Drilling has outlined a mineralized trend measuring ~1300 m by 400 m and is interpreted as the upper levels of a large porphyry Cu-Au system where Au to Cu ratios are high. Mary sits within a 3 km-long IP chargeability anomaly greater than 20 mV/V and is also located within an 8 km-long geochemical anomaly.

Rainbow Cu-Au

The Rainbow Cu-Au system outcrops in an area of widespread glacial till cover draped over outcrop.  Historical drilling returned 0.76 g/t Au and 0.05 % Cu over 91 m from surface. Limited work has been done to identify the source of this mineralization or the lateral extent of the system beneath till with only 3 drill holes completed in the area. 

Hank Au-Ag

The Hank epithermal Au-Ag deposit occurs as a 6 km-long trend of epithermal alteration, mineralization, and geochemical anomalies. Historical drilling has outlined several zones of intermediate to high sulfidation epithermal mineralization ranging from lithocap alteration at the highest elevations to intermediate sulfidation mineralization closer to the valley bottom. Historical intercepts include high-grade intercepts such as 11.63 g/t Au and 13.8 g/t Ag over 20 m, 13.4 g/t Au and 132.4 g/t Ag over 9.1 m, and 133 g/t Au and 263 g/t Ag over 0.8 m. The Company believes there is significant potential to discover high-grade feeder mineralization at Hank given the majority of historical drilling was within 150 m of surface and limited to only one azimuth. Additionally, the Company believes there is potential for discovering a porphyry Cu-Au system at depth below epithermal mineralization.

ZTEM Survey

Geotech Ltd has been contracted to complete at 1253 line-km ZTEM survey over the HWY 37 Project. The airborne survey collects deep penetrating electromagnetic and magnetic data which will be used to fingerprint the known areas of mineralization and unlock buried targets across the project. ZTEM surveys have proven to be highly successful in global exploration for porphyry Cu-Au systems and epithermal Au-Ag systems, with examples including at Pebble, Cobre Panama, and Ana Paula.

VRIFY AI

Kingfisher has engaged VRIFY AI to leverage the power of advanced machine learning models to analyze and identify potential mineral targets at the HWY 37 and LGM projects in northwestern British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle. Through the use of public and proprietary data sets, VRIFY AI utilizes sophisticated machine learning classifiers to create 3D models of potential mineral targets, incorporating probabilistic values to assess the accuracy of these models. This innovative approach enhances the precision of geological targeting, enabling exploration teams to instantly access and apply machine learning as needed. This allows for more intentional and accurate drilling of known mineral targets while prioritizing exploration targets and discovering previously unidentified mineral prospects. The AI tool ensures unbiased geological targeting and subjective data interpretation, accelerating exploration processes and improving the accuracy of mineral system identification.

Data collected during the Phase 1 exploration program will be continuously fed into the machine learning models leading to improved drill targeting.

IP Surveys and Geological Mapping

Focused exploration work including deep penetrating IP geophysics by Peter E. Wallcot and Associates and geological mapping by Dr. Stephanie Sykora will be completed on targets generated from both the ZTEM survey and VRIFY AI.  The goal of these surveys will be to derisk targets prior to drilling. 

Thibert Project Summary

The 130 km² Thibert Project is located approximately 65 km north of Dease Lake, northwest British Columbia and covers an area of significant historical and contemporary placer gold production from Thibert Creek and several tributaries for which the bedrock source has not yet been discovered. The Thibert Project spans 27 km of strike length along the Thibert Shear Zone – a major crustal scale terrane bounding fault system. The project is prospective for Cretaceous orogenic gold mineralization similar to that found in the Juneau Gold Belt in Alaska, the Motherlode District in California, and the Bralorne and Cassiar Districts in British Columbia. The Company notes that mineralization on nearby projects or metal districts is not indicative of mineralization on the Thibert Project.

Prospectivity Modelling

Using the Cassiar Gold District as an analogue, a 3-dimensional gold prospectivity assessment was completed at the Thibert Project. The model generated new prospective domains for bedrock gold discovery – Tier 1 and Tier 2 (Figure 2). Shear zones at Thibert were modelled in 3D based on airborne magnetic data and structural interpretation products from Fathom Geophysics (Figure 3). Structural prospectivity assessment was weighted based on ideal structural geometry (ENE) of sheeted vein arrays at Cassiar. Prospectivity is interpreted to broadly follow the trend of the Thibert shear zone, and geometry of the vein swarms and prospectivity domains are inferred to be ENE in orientation similar to at Cassiar. The most prospective domains (Tier 1) coincide with domains of multiple structural intersections, and Tier 1 coincide with at least one structural intersection.

Soil Sampling Program

The planned soil sampling program in 2024 consists of ~1000 soil samples with samples spaced 25 m apart on lines spaced 250 m apart over two areas of interest that coincide with Tier 1 and Tier 2 prospectivity areas with limited glacial till.

The exploration goal for the soil campaign is to outline significant areas of gold anomalism that will lead to a reconnaissance RAB drill program in the future.

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire the LGM Project from Origen Resources Inc. (“Origen”). The 26,771 HaLGM Project is located immediately south and contiguous with Kingfisher’s HWY 37 Project, in Northwest British Columbia within the Golden Triangle.

Highlights

• Expansion of contiguous holdings in the Golden Triangle from 362 km² to 630 km² including KSM-type targets in west, alkalic Galore Creek-type targets in central region (Grizzly and Lucifer) and unexplored Eskay Creek-type stratigraphy to the east.

• Grizzly Target trench sampling from 2006 returned 0.74% Cu and 1.09 g/t Au over 38 m.

• The LGM Project represents one of only three silica-undersaturated magmatic-volcanic complexes in the Golden Triangle with discovery potential for Galore Creek-type porphyry systems and has only seen 3,988 m of drilling.

• Historical stream sampling at Lucifer outlined a 4 km-long trend of highly anomalous stream sediment samples grading up to 7.8 g/t Au – similar in strength and scale to the Hank epithermal deposit signature at HWY 37.

• LGM Project is fully permitted for diamond drilling.

Dustin Perry, CEO states “Acquiring the LGM Project fits into Kingfisher’s strategy to explore large district-scale opportunities and further increases our land holdings adjacent to Highway 37 in the prolific Golden Triangle. Historical results at LGM show very encouraging early-stage indications of porphyry Cu-Au mineralization with the Galore Creek potential.”

Gayle Febbo, VP Exploration states “The Grizzly and Voigtberg showings represent the only known showings in the region with mineralization hosted in pseudoleucite bearing volcanic rocks without a significant discovery. My work at Galore Creek focused on the structural patterns of ore shoots, and I believe comparable unrecognized patterns and potential exist for the LGM Project.”

The LGM Project Overview

The LGM Project lies directly south of the HWY 37 Project (Figure 1). It parallels Highway 37 and is bound to the south by the Galore Creek access road. The project comprises 26,771 Ha with underlying NSR royalties ranging from 1% to 2%.

LGM offers exposure to three district-scale exploration targets: 1) KSM-type porphyry showings (Texas Creek suite intrusions) in the western half of project, 2) Galore Creek-type showings in the southwest region of project (Galore Creek suite intrusions), and 3) Eskay-type prospective stratigraphy in the eastern project (Iskut River Formation). Despite the highly favourable location within the Golden Triangle and proximity to both the highway and the Galore Creek access road, the project has only seen 3,988 m of shallow reconnaissance diamond drilling. Historical exploration at the project has focused on the Grizzly and Lucifer targets with exploration dating back to the 1970s.

The LGM/Voigtberg, Galore Creek, and Newmont Lake projects represent the only three areas in the Golden Triangle where ~210-208 Ma silica-undersaturated, alkalic magmatic-volcanic complexes are identified. These rare and Cu-Au-rich systems are marked by the presence of pseudoleucite in both the intrusions and in the overlying volcanic rocks. Although many Galore Creek suite intrusions are identified in the region, only three reflect full vertical preservation that includes the pseudoleucite-bearing volcanic carapace. Galore Creek is the most advanced of these projects with a measured and indicated resource of 1,197 Mt at 0.46% Cu and 0.25 g/t Au, and the Newmont Lake Project is host to the Burgundy Ridge drill delineated Cu-Au porphyry deposit. The LGM/Voigtberg region represents rare exposure to a Galore Creek-type system, and the only magmatic-volcanic complex where a deposit has not yet been delineated. The Company notes that mineralization on nearby projects is not indicative of mineralization on the LGM Project.

 Grizzly Porphyry Target Area

The Grizzly target (Figure 2) is a silica-undersaturated alkalic Cu-Au porphyry with a comparable setting to Galore Creek. The target is centered on a surface trench of 0.74% Cu and 1.09 g/t Au over 38 m and lies within a 1 km by 1 km Cu-Au-Ag-Mo soil geochemical anomaly that grades up to 2916 ppm Cu,  1100 ppb Au, 5.4 ppm Ag, and 160 ppm Mo. Excellent rock sampling results up to 5.91% Cu and 13 g/t Au at Grizzly were the focus of a small drill program in 2008, with 1442.9 m of diamond drilling.

The small program failed to identify the geometry of the porphyry intrusion and drilled exclusively along an east-west azimuth into pseudoleucite-bearing rocks. The NNE axis of mineralization in moderately S-dipping gully defined by rocks was not crossed by the 2008 drill holes. Anomalous intercepts from 2008 include 0.16 g/t Au and 0.10% Cu over 66.6 m (hole GRZ08-11).    

Follow-up geophysical surveys identified a moderate chargeability and magnetic anomaly directly below the Grizzly trench showing. The strongest chargeability anomaly remains untested and lies downslope from the Grizzly showing in a region where monzonite to syenite porphyry is mapped on surface. Three large untested magnetic anomalies were identified at depth below the Grizzly showing, the most westerly coincides with a moderate shallow chargeability anomaly.

The Grizzly showing appears to be a high-level, Galore Creek-type setting with several untested geophysical anomalies and excellent trench results that have not been crossed by drilling. The first-ever 3D modelling was completed by Kingfisher during the due diligence process, and it highlighted porphyry mineralization outlined by historical trenching occurs as a ~150 m wide panel that dips moderately to the south on the shoulder of a large magnetic anomaly. The region represents an opportunity to test higher-level, structurally controlled porphyry emplacement bodies from surface as well as deeper, bulk tonnage porphyry targets.

Lucifer Porphyry and Epithermal Target Area

Lucifer is an early-stage 4 by 5 km region defined by a Cu-Au-Ag-Mo soil geochemical anomaly grading up to 3383 ppb Au, 787 ppm Cu, 5.6 ppm Ag, and 216 ppm Mo; the strongest ASTER anomaly across the Grizzly-Voigtberg-Lucifer Trend; and a 2.5 km by 1 km area of silica-sericite-carbonate-pyrite alteration outlined by Noranda in 1991.  The region is also defined by a large gossan continuous with the Grizzly and Voigtberg targets and is prospective for both porphyry and epithermal mineralization. 

Widely spaced drilling at Lucifer amounts to 1,821.96 m. Airborne geophysical surveys were completed at Lucifer including magnetic susceptibility and VTEM.

The source of Cu-Au mineralization at Lucifer is not yet drill delineated and several gossans on surface to the east are unsampled.

Potential Continuation of Hank-Williams Trend

The northern LGM project lies to the southwest from the Hank-Williams Trend on the HWY 37 Project. Within this area are Texas Creek Suite intrusions mapped by the BC Geological Survey. Much of the prospective region lies in areas of extensive glaciation that have undergone significant recession since the last work was completed in the area by Skeena Resources in 1990. 

Historical rock sampling of intrusive boulders at the toe of one glacier returned grades up to 0.90% Cu, 0.27 g/t Au, and 6.8 g/t Ag. That glacier has since receded by ~1,500 m and not been subsequently explored.  Sampling of lateral moraines in the area returned up to 4.5 g/t Au and 74.6 g/t Ag from breccias. 

Terms of the Agreement

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will issue 3,000,000 common shares in the capital of Kingfisher, to Origen and pay C$75,000 in cash to Origen in exchange for the transfer of the LGM Project claims on closing. In addition, the LGM Property is subject to underlying royalty agreements over different parts of the project that range from 1 to 2% with Triple Flag Precious Metals (1%), Ryan Kalt (2%), and Carl von Einsiedel (2%). 

The transaction remains subject to various terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSX-V and CSE.

Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the completion of diamonddrilling at the HWY 37 Project with 2150 m drilledover 6 holes. The project is located in Northwest British Columbia within the Golden Triangle.

Summary

The 2023 diamond drill program focused on three target areas: the Cliff porphyry, the Mary Root Zone, and the Mary deposit southern step-out (Fig. 1). Two holes (M-23-001 and M-23-004) tested the Cliff porphyry, one from upslope that crossed the stockwork to test the width extent and one that collared at a lower elevation in the stockwork to test the changes with depth. Two holes were completed at the Mary Root Zone at the central (M-23-002) and southern target (M-23-003), with the strongest alteration and metal content intercepted in the northern hole. A single hole was originally planned at the Mary deposit, but difficult drilling conditions caused the loss of the hole prior to target depth. So, a second hole was drilled from the same pad to test the deeper extents of the area. Drill core samples are currently being assayed and results will be released once available.  

Figure 1: Surface Map of Drill Collar Locations

Table 1: Diamond Drill Collars (NAD 83 – Zone 9), MRZ – Mary Root Zone

Cliff Porphyry Target

Two diamond holes tested a ~200 x 100 m chalcopyrite-bearing quartz stockwork body at surface, located in the core of a Cu-Au-Ag-Mo soil anomaly and coincident magnetic high. The initial hole (M-23-001) collared above the stockwork body, drilling across the stockwork body to the southeast. The second hole (M-23-004) collared in the stockwork body and drilled to the northwest, to cross the stockwork body and drill at-depth below it.

Lithology in the two holes comprises sub-horizontal layers of volcaniclastic to coherent basalt with lesser rhyolite and multiple phases of cross-cutting hornblende monzonite to monzodiorite porphyry and biotite hornfels in the contact zones. Three broad alteration domains were identified within the two drill holes:

1. An ‘inner propylitic’ alteration panel overlies the stockwork body with quartz, actinolite, chlorite, epidote, white mica, carbonate, galena, sphalerite, and pyrite (0-72 m; M-23-001).

2. A principle ‘potassic’ stockwork alteration body with 5-35% quartz veins, secondary K-feldspar, biotite, magnetite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and trace covellite (72-264 m, M-23-001; 0-126 m, M-23-004).

3. A deeper level ‘sodic-potassic’ alteration domain with secondary K-feldspar, quartz, albite, magnetite, diopside, actinolite, chlorite, epidote, pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite; (264-384m, M-23-001; 126-300 m, M-23-004).

Mary Root Zone Target

Two diamond holes targeted a coincident chargeability-resistivity anomaly starting at depth in holes M-23-002 and M-23-003. Host lithology includes a matrix-supported, volcaniclastic andesite and multiple phases of hornblede monzonite to hornblende monzodiorite porphyry. The holes intersected three vertically zoned alteration domains:

1. An upper panel of ‘inner propylitic’ alteration with secondary albite, actinolite, chlorite, epidote, pyrite, and carbonate stringers (0-80 m, M-23-002).

2. A mid-level ‘phyllic’ alteration, with stringers and disseminations of pyrite (average 8%), white mica, carbonate, pervasive quartz, green fluorite, clay, disseminations, and stringersthroughout of sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite (80-270 m, M-23-002; 145-308 m, M-23-003).

3. A deeper level, higher temperature ‘sodic’ to ‘sodic-potassic’ alteration domain includes pervasive secondary K-feldspar, albite flooding, white mica, quartz, fluorite, anhydrite, disseminated pyrite (average 5%), anddisseminations of sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite (270-417 m, M-23-002; 308-372 m, M-23-003).

Mary Deposit Step-Out

The planned hole is a ~100 m step-out that follows-up on a drillhole from 2019, which intersected 0.5 g/t Au, 0.1% Cu over 291.5 m from 15.5 m (BCK-MZ-19-01). The initial hole (M-23-005) faced difficult drilling conditions and the hole was lost at 189 m. The second hole (M-23-006) was drilled from the same pad with a change in azimuth and dip. Both holes collar in a coherent to volcaniclastic basalt:

1. An upper ‘potassic’ alteration assemblage with secondary K-feldspar, biotite, quartz with disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite andmolybdenite) in a basalt host (0-189 m, M-23-005; 0-199 m; M-23-006).

2. A mid-level chlorite-magnetite alteration with pervasive chlorite, quartz, albite and disseminated magnetite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite in host of basalt, diorite, and monzonite (199-449 m, M-23-006).

Additional Field Work

Surface geological mapping was undertaken by geological mapping expert Dr. Stephanie Sykora with a focus on the Hank and Rojo Grande map areas. The map study focused on identifying structural, stratigraphic and alteration patterns in the area in preparation for future drilling in 2024.

Target 4 (Fig. 1) is a new area of interest identified by geophysical and structural patterns. Kingfisher carried out prospecting and identified chalcopyrite in quartz stockwork in a region with no previous rock or soil samples. Prospecting was followed-up with a soil grid of 47 samples conducted over the area with results pending.

These assumptions include; success of the Company’s projects; prices for gold remaining as estimated; currency exchange rates remaining as estimated; availability of funds for the Company’s projects; capital, decommissioning and reclamation estimates; prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including transportation); no labour- related disruptions; no unplanned delays or interruptions in scheduled construction and production; all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals are received in a timely manner; and the ability to comply with environmental, health and safety laws. The foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive.

The Company cautions the reader that forward-looking statements and information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information contained in this news release and the Company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: risks related to fluctuations in gold prices; fluctuations in prices for energy inputs, labour, materials, supplies and services (including transportation); fluctuations in currency markets (such as the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar); operational risks and hazards inherent with the business of mineral exploration; inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks and hazards; our ability to obtain all necessary permits, licenses and regulatory approvals in a timely manner; changes in laws, regulations and government practices, including environmental, export and import laws and regulations; legal restrictions relating to mineral exploration; increased competition in the mining industry for equipment and qualified personnel; the availability of additional capital; title matters and the additional risks identified in our filings with Canadian securities regulators on SEDAR+ in Canada (available at www.sedarplus.ca). Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, described, or intended. Investors are cautioned against undue reliance on forward-looking statements or information. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof and, except as required under applicable securities legislation, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances.
