VANCOUVER, British Columbia, November 9, 2022 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of rotary air blast (“RAB”) drilling, and surface geochemical and ground geophysical surveys at the 100% owned 511 km² Goldrange Project. Goldrange is located approximately 25 km south of the town of Tatla Lake in the Chilcotin region of Southwest British Columbia.

Highlights

• The Day Trip Zone is 5 km from the Cloud Drifter Zone and these results represent the first modern exploration efforts at this zone.

• Gold anomalism is analogous to horizontal gold trends in 2021 drill results from the upper Cloud Drifter Zone, which lie spatially above high-grade feeders identified in 2022 (NR link).

• Highlight intercepts include 2.7 g/t Au over 4.6 m in GRR-22-023, 0.5 g/t Au over 12.2 m in GRR-22-27, 2.1 g/t Au over 4.6 m in GRR-22-026, and 0.8 g/t Au over 9.1 m in GRR-22-013.

• Shallow gold intercepts are open laterally and at depth, with an overall dip in geometry toward the west where 2022 rock sampling returned grades up to 49.8 g/t Au and extended the geochemical footprint 1 km to the west.

• Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey identified several strong chargeability and conductivity anomalies over 2 km; two sizeable diamond drill targets were identified from coincident chargeability-conductivity anomalies at depths below RAB drill capabilities.

Dustin Perry, CEO states “Initial shallow RAB drilling at Day Trip shows a broad zone of open-ended gold anomalism over 1 km associated with strong chargeability and conductivity anomalies that stretch nearly 2 km.  Early indications point to there potentially being a significant gold system that will need subsequent drilling to the west and at depth.”  Day Trip Zone Overview

Kingfisher commenced the first-ever drill program at the Day Trip Zone with a RAB drill rig in May 2022. The initial 27 holes (Table 1) focused on a ~300 m by 200 m area at shallow depths of less than 78 m.

The Day Trip Zone covers a rounded mountain top approximately 5 km southeast of the Cloud Drifter Trend (Figures 1 and 2).  The target is situated between two interpreted fault splays off the regional Ottarasko Fault.  High-density intrusive-hosted veins, up to 2 m in width, occur over an area ~100 m by 400 m.  Quartz veins from this area returned grades from below detection limit to 6.7 g/t Au over 2 m.  Adjacent to the intrusion is a ~70 m x 90 m area of arsenopyrite-cement breccia in subcrop (Figure 1).  Approximately 20% of the subcrop material in this area consists of arsenopyrite-cement breccia and rocks grade from 3.4 to 20.1 g/t Au.  Talus fines sampling in 2020 and 2021 outlined a broad area of gold anomalism coincident with areas of gold in outcrop and subcrop that grades up to 8.4 g/t Au.  Rock and talus fines geochemistry both yield a strong multi-element signature of As, Ag, Cu, Bi, Te, Sb, Zn and Pb associated with Au.

RAB Drill Results

The purpose of the Day Trip RAB drill program was to identify location and geometry of anomalous gold sampled on surface. The RAB holes tested shallow extents of the target over a 250×200 m area. Broad anomalous gold is shallow or at surface and was intercepted in all but the most southerly pad, which failed to reach target depth. Gold anomalism in the sedimentary-hosted, western holes defines a 20 degree west-dipping layer that parallels bedding. Gold intercepts in the intrusive-hosted western holes are interpreted to dip steeply east, similar to the veins on surface. The overall vein geometry from surface coupled with the gold intercepts, projects toward a large conductive and chargeability anomaly (Figure 5).

The feeder to the sulfide breccia rubble identified on surface and the subhorizontal gold pattern near surface is interpreted to be rooted in an easterly fault zone to the south of the RAB drill area. One pad attempted to drill through this structure into the interpreted feeder (GRR-22-30, -31, 32), but was unable to cross the structure due to difficult conditions.

Induced Polarization (IP) Geophysical Survey Results

A deep penetrating Induced Polarization (IP) survey was conducted to prepare for deeper diamond drilling targeting. The survey was extended more than 1100 m west of the original survey and target area due to the discovery of high-grade gold in outcrop ~1 km from the RAB drill area. The geophysical survey identified two large conductive anomalies beneath the RAB drill area and to the west. Conductivity can be associated with sulfide breccias and veins and related alteration.  Numerous chargeability anomalies were also identified throughout the survey area. Chargeability highs can be caused by the presence of disseminated sulfides.

The highest quality geophysical targets are where both chargeability and conductivity are anomalous. The area of RAB drilling confirmed the coincidence between hydrothermal alteration, elevated sulfide abundance and anomalous gold with chargeable rocks. Two anomalies are yet to be tested where chargeability and conductivity are both anomalous: 1) at depth below the RAB drill area, and 2) at depth below the new outcrop discovery ~1 km to the west where rocks returned up to 49.8 g/t Au.

Rock Sampling Results

Highly weathered sulfide rubble was located ~1km west of the area of drilling and was followed up with hand trenching that led to the discovery of an outcropping sulfide vein up to 50 cm wide and grading up to 49.8 g/t Au over 0.5 m. Sulfide mineralization includes arsenopyrite, stibnite, boulangerite, and chalcopyrite. Samples show a strong correlation with Ag, Cu, Pb, Sb, Bi, and Te. Results are shown in Table 3.

About RAB Drilling

Kingfisher is using RAB drills as a cost effective and efficient first pass exploration tool. The RAB is a heli-portable, track mounted drill that can drill a wide range of dips (50-90°) to depths of up to 100 meters. Rock cuttings from the drill hammer are returned to surface between the outside of the rods and the open hole. Under certain conditions, cross contamination between samples is a concern. The assay results from the RAB drill provide a strong indication of the grade and thickness of gold intercepted in a given hole. Kingfisher intends to follow up encouraging RAB assay results with a diamond drill to fully quantify the grade and thickness of these mineralized intercepts.

QAQC

Grab and chip rock samples are selective by nature and values reported in this news release may not be representative of mineralized zones. Blank and unlabeled certified reference materials (CRM) were inserted into the sample sequence every 20^th sample.

RAB drill holes at the Goldrange Project are NWJ sized (2 5/8”). Samples are collected continuously from surface from each 5 ft (1.52 m) rod length. Collected sample material is put through a 1:8 riffle splitter, with the smaller portion of the sample bagged to be sent to the lab for Au Chrysos PhotonAssay^TMand Au Fire Assay checks. Certified reference materials and blanks are inserted into the sample sequence every 20^th sample. Duplicates were collected from every 40^th sample by running the 7:8 reject material through the riffle splitter again, and collecting the 1:8 split for submission to the lab. The total number of blanks, duplicates and CRM samples equals approximately 5% of the samples submitted to the lab for analysis.

RAB and rock chip samples were shipped to MSALABS, located in Langley, British Columbia for preparation and analysis. MSALABS is an ISO17025 and ISO9001 accredited laboratory and is independent of Kingfisher Metals and its Qualified Person. Samples were prepped using the SPL430, CRU-220. Rock chip samples were then analyzed for 48 major and trace elements with ICP-MS after a four-acid digestion (method code IMS-230). Following sample preparation, a 500 g split from each sample was sent to MSALABS Val-D’Or location for Au analysis using Chrysos PhotonAssay^TM (method code CPA-Au1). Selected samples were also subjected to Au fire assay and gravimetric check assays. A 30 g split from each check assay sample was analyzed for Au using a lead collection fire assay fusion that was digested and analyzed using AA (method code FAS-111). A 30g split from the check assay samples that assayed >10 ppm Au was analyzed using a lead collection fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish (method code FAS-415).

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, October 13, 2022 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce initial drill results from the 100% owned 511 km² Goldrange Project. Goldrange is located approximately 25 km south of the town of Tatla Lake in the Chilcotin region of Southwest British Columbia.

Highlights

• 2.86 g/t Au over 40 m including 5.56 g/t Au over 9 m, 5.05 g/t Au over 6 m, and 19.91 g/t Au over 1 m in hole GR22-018

• 58.88 g/t Au over 1 m in hole GR22-019, 19.54 g/t Au over 2 m in hole GR22-016, 10.39 g/t Au over 1 m in hole GR22-017, and 9.55 g/t Au over 2 m in hole GR22-020

• Across the Cloud Drifter Trend, drilling has intersected quartz-sulfide vein and breccia at the Pad 400, West, and East Cloud Drifter target areas, as well as the Langara Zone

Dustin Perry, CEO states “Initial results from the ongoing 2022 drill program continue to show the robust nature of the gold system at Goldrange.  With 2.86 g/t Au over 40 m, drill hole 18 surpassed the 100 GT mark (grade x thickness) on only the fourth hole of the program.”  

The Goldrange Project covers a significant deformation zone with numerous precious metal veins across the project. Mineralization at Goldrange occurs within the orogenic Yalakom Gold Belt, which is host to the Bridge River District that includes the past-producing Bralorne Mine. Several areas of historical hand mining are located within the project that date back to the 1930s.

The 2022 drill program (Figure 1) at the Goldrange Project was designed to follow up on the initial 2021 program as well as test a much broader area across the Cloud Drifter Trend. Ongoing drilling is focused on testing structural corridors across the trend. The initial six drill holes of the 2022 program (Tables 1 and 2) included within this release are located within the Pad 400 Target Area. Drilling in 2021 intersected highlights from this target including 73.4 g/t Au over 1 m and 6.9 g/t Au over 9 m. Remaining drill hole results from the Cloud Drifter and Langara zones are pending.  

The Pad 400 Target Area is structurally controlled vein and breccia hosted mineralization that outcrops within an incised gulley. Where it outcrops, it grades up to 128.9 g/t Au in surface sampling.  Mineralized veins and breccia throughout the Pad 400 Target Area are hosted within strongly quartz-carbonate-sericite altered quartz diorite or within adjacent sedimentary rocks. Gold is closely associated with elevated Ag, Bi, Te, As, Sb, Cu, Zn, and Mo.

Highlight intercepts from the Pad 400 Target Area are listed in Table 1 and plotted on Figures 1-5.

Exploration Update

A total of 27 diamond drill holes, over 7089 m, have been completed in the Cloud Drifter Trend. In addition to the six drill holes included in this release, an additional two drill holes were completed at the Pad 400 Target Area bringing that total to 1626 m. Drilling at the Western Target Area included 5 holes over 1884 meters and drilling at the Eastern Target Area included ten holes over 1986 meters. Drilling is currently ongoing at the Pad 400 Target Area. Four drill holes at the Langara Zone have been completed over 1594 m.

Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drill results from the Langara and Day Trip zones are pending. Deep penetrating induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveys were completed at the Eastern Target Area at the Cloud Drifter Zone as well as at the Day Trip Zone. These surveys expand both the lateral and depth extents from previous survey coverage. Geophysical and RAB drill results will be released once final data is received.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QAQC)

All drillholes in this release are NQ sized (47.6 mm diameter). A continuous series of one-metre-long half-split core samples was taken down the entire length of each drill hole. Sample lengths were reduced to a minimum of half a meter to avoid crossing lithologic contacts or other features deemed important by Kingfisher geologists.

Unlabelled certified reference materials (CRM) were inserted systematically throughout the sample sequence along with blanks and duplicate samples. In addition to the systematic insertion of duplicates, duplicates were also collected from conspicuously mineralized samples. Half-split core samples for duplicates were further split into quarter core samples before submission for analysis. Upon receipt of duplicate analyses, the results from each of the quarter cores were averaged before integration into the assay database. The total number of blanks, duplicates and CRM samples equals approximately 5% of the total samples taken.

Core samples were shipped to MSALABS, located in Langley, British Columbia for preparation and analysis. MSALABS is an ISO17025 and ISO9001 accredited laboratory and is independent of Kingfisher Metals and its Qualified Person. Samples were prepped using the SPL430, CRU-220 and analyzed for 48 major and trace elements with ICP-MS after a four-acid digestion (method code IMS-230). Following sample preparation, a 500 g split from each sample was sent to MSALABS Val-D’Or location for Au analysis using Chrysos PhotonAssay^TM (method code CPA-Au1). Selected samples were also subjected to Au fire assay and gravimetric check assays. A 30 g split from each check assay sample was analyzed for Au using a lead collection fire assay fusion that was digested and analyzed using AA (method code FAS-111).

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 17, 2022 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce updates on diamond drilling at the 100% owned 511 km² Goldrange Project. Goldrange is located approximately 25 km south of the town of Tatla Lake in the Chilcotin region of Southwest British Columbia.

Highlights

• 11 diamond drill holes (2427 m) have been completed at the Cloud Drifter Zone so far this season.

• Intervals of vein, breccia, and disseminated sulfide mineralization intercepted in all drill holes over ~850 m east-west extent.

• Drilling at the Eastern Target Area intersected up to ~35 m of strongly altered and mineralized quartz diorite below an outcrop that grades up to 9.7 g/t Au.

• Drilling at the Pad 400 Target Area intersected multiple areas of strongly altered quartz diorite with breccia and vein hosted mineralization.

• At the Western Target Area, drilling intercepted structurally controlled quartz-sulfide veins, breccias, and disseminated sulfide mineralization beneath the highest multi-element soil geochemical anomaly in the Cloud Drifter Zone.

Dustin Perry, CEO states “Drilling at the Cloud Drifter Zone is off to a great start with zones of mineralization in all drill holes to date which significantly expands the footprint of the mineralized system.  We continue to see a wide variety of mineralization styles across a broad area proving the robust nature of this gold system. The drill will be moving back to the Eastern Target Area shortly where we will begin drilling step out holes from the promising mineralization in GR22-022.  We anticipate that our upcoming diamond drill assays will guide follow-up drilling of these target areas.”

The Goldrange Project covers a significant deformation zone with numerous precious metal veins across the project.  Mineralization at Goldrange occurs within the orogenic Yalakom Gold Belt, which is host to the Bridge River District that includes the past producing Bralorne Mine. Several areas of historical hand mining are located within the project and date back to the 1930s.

Diamond Drilling Update

Diamond drilling at the Cloud Drifter Zone has been completed over 11 holes totalling 2427 m (Table 1).  Figure 1 outlines the drilling progress to date. Drilling has been completed over three areas referred to as the Eastern, Western, and Pad 400 Target Areas.  GR22-015 to GR22-20 were completed at the Pad 400 Target, GR22-21 and GR22-22 were completed at the Eastern Target, and GR22-23 to GR22-25 have been completed at the Western Target.  Drilling is ongoing at the Western Target and once completed it will move to the Eastern Target for additional follow-up drilling.  Summaries of visual drill results at each target area are described below.

Hole	Easting (m)	Northing (m)	Elevation (m)	Depth (m)	Azimuth	Dip
GR22-015	388582	5705826	1503	201	310	80

­Eastern Target Area

The first two drill holes (GR22-021 and GR22-022) in the Eastern Target Area confirmed the presence and continuity of a disseminated sulfide and stockwork style of veins not yet identified in drilling. Mineralization styles in drilling includes disseminated, breccia, and vein-hosted chalcopyrite, pyrite, and arsenopyrite. Stockwork and disseminated mineralization styles in surface rocks in this area grade up to 9.7 g/t Au and coincide with strong multi-element (Au, Ag, As, Cu, Bi, Te, Sb, Zn, Mo, W) anomalism in soil geochemistry.

At the Eastern Target Area, mapping and rock sampling of limited rock exposures in forest cover indicate the presence of both a high sulfide and a high vein density domain with a homogeneous mineralization style. Based on the homogeneous textures and consistent vein densities, there is potential for continuity of grade laterally between outcrops and vertically at depth. 

GR22-021 collared downslope of an outcrop that grades up to 6.8 g/t Au and drilled to the southeast.   Drilling encountered mineralized quartz diorite from surface to 21 m and another interval of stronger quartz diorite hosted mineralization from 51 m to 65 m (Figure 2).  The Company believes that the drill hole did not intersect the full thickness of this body and future drilling will test the full thickness body by drilling north from upslope. Further drilling will aim to outline the orientation of the intrusion that is host to mineralization.

High resolution image available here: Figure 2

GR22-022 collared upslope of an outcrop that grades up to 9.7 g/t Au and is located ~60 m west of the outcrop that GR22-021 targeted.  Intervals of dense veins in quartz diorite were intercepted from 26.0 m to 65.8 m (Figure 3), 88 m to 95 m, and 112 m to 120 m. 

High resolution image available here: Figure 3

Pad 400 Target Area

Diamond drilling at the Pad 400 Target Area follows up on vein and breccia hosted mineralization from the 2021 drill program.  Highlights from this area in 2021 include 73.4 g/t Au over 1 m from pyrite-ankerite veins and 6.88 g/t Au over 9 m from sulfide cement breccia.  This year’s drilling is testing the lateral and down-dip continuity of high-grade gold along an easterly structural trend that dips moderately south.  Drill holes into this trend confirmed the location and presence of high-density quartz-sulfide veins parallel to the modelled structures. This important easterly structural trend in the lower Cloud Drifter Zone correlates with multiple high-grade Au intercepts in 2021 drill holes. The structural expression is more than 25 m true thickness, which also coincides with a coincident chargeability-conductivity geophysical anomaly.

Drilling in this area returned broad intercepts of altered and dense veins in quartz diorite in all drill holes (GR22-015 to GR22-020) including GR22-018 which intercepted altered and mineralized quartz diorite from 61.80 m to 174.20 m (Figure 4).  An additional drill pad is built in the Pad 400 Target Area and drill holes will be oriented in a westerly direction from that pad. 

High resolution image available here: Figure 4

Western Target Area

Initial holes at the Western Target Area intercepted structurally controlled quartz-sulfide veins, breccias, and disseminated sulfide mineralization beneath the highest multi-element soil geochemical anomaly (Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, Pb, Sb, Bi, Te, W) in the Cloud Drifter Zone. The source of a coincident conductivity and chargeability anomaly was determined to be due to the presence of hydrothermal sulfide mineralization. Structural and geochemical exploration trends were intercepted at anticipated depths with drilling and are coincident with elevated sulfide mineralization.

Altered quartz diorite was identified in GR22-023 to GR22-025 and is similar in appearance to the Pad 400 Target Area as well as at the Eastern Target Area.  This gives the intrusive hosted target over 800 m of strike length, open in multiple directions.  Additional styles of mineralization are illustrated in Figure 5.  A feldspar porphyry containing disseminated molybdenite and chalcopyrite was intercepted in GR22-023 and points towards a potential higher temperature heat source for the mineralizing system. 

High resolution image available here: Figure 5

Future Steps

Diamond drilling is underway at the Western Target Area gossan pad where it is drilling northeast underneath the large gossan and geochemical anomaly after which it will test to the northwest under the Argo showing. 

Once completed, the drill will move to the Eastern Target Area where it will continue to test the promising intrusive hosted mineralization intersected in GR22-021 and GR22-022.  Future drilling will be completed from the same pad as GR22-022 and then step out drilling will occur to the east and west.

Additional IP surveying is underway at the Eastern Target Area and Day Trip Zones to test for deeper feeder structures that will inform targeting at both areas for diamond drill testing later this season.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 8, 2022 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce updates on rotary air blast (“RAB”) drilling at the 100% owned 511 km² Goldrange Project. Goldrange is located approximately 25 km south of the town of Tatla Lake in the Chilcotin region of Southwest British Columbia.

Highlights

• Six RAB drill holes (399.28 m) have been completed at the Langara Zone, located in the eastern Cloud Drifter Trend.

• Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (“pXRF”) analysis has delineated multi-element anomalism in all holes drilled from one pad to target a historical adit.

• Visual chip logs identified sulfide minerals and quartz veins typical of gold mineralization style observed on surface in all drill holes to date.

• GRR22-033 intercepted the historical Langara adit (1930s) at 9.14 m and visual chip logs identified geology typical of rocks from adit dump pile.  

• Samples have been submitted for gold analysis at MSALABS’ Chrysos PhotonAssay^TM for analysis and check fire assays with initial results expected in the coming weeks.

Dustin Perry, CEO, states “This first shallow drill test of the Langara Zone was successful at locating the historical adit that was obscured by talus cover. Additionally, drilling encountered highly anomalous pathfinder mineralization in areas of limited outcrop due to talus cover. Logging of RAB cuttings shows widespread quartz veins with associated sulfide minerals that is comparable to the high-grade Au-Ag veins at surface. Now that we have a better 3D understanding of this target, we can diamond drill this season. The diamond rig will test a much broader area of mineralization as well as potential feeder mineralization to these areas of surficial anomalism.”

Overview

Kingfisher commenced the first-ever drill program at the Langara Zone (Figures 1 and 2) with a RAB drill rig in July 2022. The initial six holes (Table 1) were drilled from a single pad located adjacent to a historical adit from the 1930s. Drilling was completed to test the geometry of near surface mineralization including the talus obscured adit. The historical working is centered on an interference zone between northwest and east trending veins.

RAB Drill Results

Drill cuttings were analyzed using an Olympus Vanta Handheld XRF (C Series) (pXRF) instrument for multiple elements. All RAB holes intercepted anomalous intervals of pathfinder elements (Figure 3, Table 2) consistent with Au-related pathfinder enrichments observed in surface geochemical samples previously collected at the Langara Zone.

Langara Adit Target Area

The Langara Adit and surrounding quartz-hosted mineralization is defined by surface grades up to 60.4 g/t Au and 1500 g/t Ag from grab samples. Dump samples from the Langara Adit grade up to 14.4 g/t Au and are associated with arsenopyrite (As), chalcopyrite (Cu), sphalerite (Zn), boulangerite (Pb, Sb), and Bi- and Te-bearing minerals. 

The sulfide minerals identified in RAB holes (Figure 4) are comparable to gold-bearing rocks observed at surface. Hole GRR22-033 intercepted quartz and sulfide vein material from surface to 9.14 m, where the historical adit was intersected. 

The precise location of historical mining obtained from hole GRR22-033 provides the key data required to plan for diamond drilling. A diamond drill pad will be built near the top of the slope at the Langara Zone (Figure 2) within the coming weeks. Drilling from this pad will test the depth potential of the Langara adit ore shoot.

pXRF Sampling and Analytical Protocol

RAB drill holes at the Goldrange Project are NWJ sized (2 5/8”). Samples are collected continuously from surface from each 5 ft (1.52 m) rod length. Collected sample material is put through a 1:8 riffle splitter, with the smaller portion of the sample bagged to be sent to the lab for Au Chrysos PhotonAssay^TMand Au Fire Assay checks. From the riffle splitter reject ~500 grams of material are collected for pXRF analysis. The pXRF samples are returned to camp where they are dried prior to analysis. Once dry 15 ml of it is packed in a plastic XRF sample cup lined with prolene thin film. Care is taken to ensure that no material larger than 2 mm in diameter is packed into the sample cup. Once the sample cups have been packed, they are analyzed with an Olympus Vanta Handheld pXRF (C Series). Each sample is analyzed twice, adjusting the position of the sample on the pXRF detector between analyses. The two analyses are averaged to give a final result. Between each sample, the pXRF workstation is cleaned with pressurized air and paper towel. Certified reference materials and blanks are inserted into the sample sequence every 20^th sample.

About RAB Drilling

Kingfisher is using RAB drills as a cost effective and efficient first pass exploration tool. The RAB is a heli-portable, track mounted drill that can drill a wide range of dips (50-90°) to depths of up to 100 m. Rock cuttings from the drill hammer are returned to surface between the outside of the rods and the open hole. Under certain conditions, cross contamination between samples is a concern. The assay results from the RAB drill provide a strong indication of the grade and thickness of gold intercepted in a given hole. Kingfisher intends to follow up encouraging RAB assay results with a diamond drill to fully quantify the grade and thickness of these mineralized intercepts.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 12, 2022 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce updates on rotary air blast (RAB) drilling at the 100% owned 511 km² Goldrange Project. Goldrange is located approximately 25 km south of the town of Tatla Lake in the Chilcotin region of Southwest British Columbia.

Highlights

• 27 RAB drill holes (1417.32 m) have been completed at the Day Trip Zone, located 5 km SE of the Cloud Drifter Trend.

• Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) analysis has delineated multi-element anomalism related to a significant hydrothermal system.

• Visual chip logs identified sulfide minerals and quartz veins typical of the gold mineralization style observed on surface in all drill holes to date.

• Geochemical and geological observations from drill cuttings outline a ~275 m x 120 m prospective footprint open laterally and at depth.

• Samples have been submitted for gold analysis at MSALABS’ Chrysos PhotonAssay^TM for analysis and check fire assays with initial results expected in the coming weeks.

Dustin Perry, CEO states “RAB drilling coupled with pXRF analysis at Day Trip has efficiently outlined an open-ended hydrothermal footprint typical of gold mineralization on surface.  Results to date indicate that the system may be considerably larger than what we had initially interpreted.  The Company will update the market on developments from the gold assay results in due course.” 

Overview

Kingfisher commenced the first-ever drill program at the Day Trip Zone with a rotary air blast (RAB) drill rig in May 2022. The initial 27 holes (Table 1) focused on a ~275 m by 120 m area at shallow depths of less than 82 m.

The Day Trip Zone covers a rounded mountain top approximately 5 km southeast of the Cloud Drifter Trend (Figures 1 and 2).  The target is situated between two interpreted fault splays off the regional Ottarasko Fault.  High-density intrusive-hosted veins, up to 2 m in width, occur over an area ~100 m by 400 m.  Quartz veins from this area returned grades from below detection limit to 6.7 g/t Au over 2 m.  Adjacent to the intrusion is a ~70 m x 90 m area of arsenopyrite-cement breccia in subcrop (Figure 1).  Approximately 20% of the subcrop material in this area consists of arsenopyrite-cement breccia and rocks grade from 3.4 to 20.1 g/t Au.  Talus fines sampling in 2020 and 2021 outlined a broad area of gold anomalism coincident with areas of gold in outcrop and subcrop that grades up to 8.4 g/t Au.  Rock and talus fines geochemistry both yield a strong multi-element signature of As, Ag, Cu, Bi, Te, Sb, Zn and Pb associated with Au.

RAB Drill Results

Drill cuttings were analyzed using an Olympus Vanta Handheld XRF (C Series) (pXRF) instrument for multiple elements. All RAB holes intercepted anomalous intervals of pathfinder elements (Figure 3, Table 2) consistent with Au-related pathfinder enrichments observed in surface geochemical samples previously collected at the Day Trip Zone.

Breccia Target Area

The breccia target area consists of mafic to intermediate volcaniclastic siltstone and sandstone that is host to a quartz-sulfide breccia. The breccia is associated with arsenopyrite and subordinated pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite. Drilling intercepted hydrothermal quartz and sulfide in all holes in the target area (Figure 4) that are enriched in As, Cu, Zn, Pb, Sb and Bi as defined by pXRF.

Intrusive Target Area

The intrusive target area is host to a quartz diorite intrusion that cuts sandstone. In contrast to the breccia target area, hydrothermal material at the intrusive target area is quartz dominated, and relatively sulfide poor (Figures 5 and 6). Intervals with hydrothermal material are associated with similar enrichments in Cu and Pb as the breccia target, whereas As, Bi, Sb, and Zn enrichments are more muted.

pXRF Sampling and Analytical Protocol

RAB drill holes at the Goldrange Project are NWJ sized (2 5/8”). Samples are collected continuously from surface from each 5 ft (1.52 m) rod length. Collected sample material is put through a 1:8 riffle splitter, with the smaller portion of the sample bagged to be sent to the lab for Au Chrysos PhotonAssay^TMand Au Fire Assay checks. From the riffle splitter reject ~500 grams of material are collected for pXRF analysis. The pXRF samples are returned to camp where they are dried prior to analysis. Once dry 15 ml of it is packed in a plastic XRF sample cup lined with prolene thin film. Care is taken to ensure that no material larger than 2 mm in diameter is packed into the sample cup. Once the sample cups have been packed, they are analyzed with an Olympus Vanta Handheld pXRF (C Series). Each sample is analyzed twice, adjusting the position of the sample on the pXRF detector between analyses. The two analyses are averaged to give a final result. Between each sample, the pXRF workstation is cleaned with pressurized air and paper towel. Certified reference materials and blanks are inserted into the sample sequence every 20^th sample.

About RAB Drilling

Kingfisher is using rotary air blast (RAB) drills as a cost effective and efficient first pass exploration tool. The RAB is a heli-portable, track mounted drill that can drill a wide range of dips (50-90°) to depths of up to 100 meters. Rock cuttings from the drill hammer are returned to surface between the outside of the rods and the open hole. Under certain conditions, cross contamination between samples is a concern. The assay results from the RAB drill provide a strong indication of the grade and thickness of gold intercepted in a given hole. Kingfisher intends to follow up encouraging RAB assay results with a diamond drill to fully quantify the grade and thickness of these mineralized intercepts.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 14, 2022 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of diamond drilling at the 100% owned 511 km² Goldrange Project. Goldrange is located approximately 25 km south of the town of Tatla Lake in the Chilcotin region of Southwest British Columbia.

Highlights

• An expanded and fully funded program of up to 10,000 m of diamond drilling.

• Step out drilling of near-surface breccia targets in the Cloud Drifter Zone that graded up to 73.4 g/t Au over 1 m and 6.9 g/t Au over 9 m in the Pad 400 target area.

• First-ever drilling of robust multi-element geochemical anomalies at the Cloud Drifter Zone on exploration trend with high-grade Au intercepts from 2021.

• Day Trip, Langara, and Standard zones will see first-ever diamond drill holes contingent upon positive RAB drill results.

Dustin Perry, CEO states “Our second drill program will begin at the Cloud Drifter Zone and see shallow target follow-up drilling as well as the very first drill tests of two exciting gold targets within the zone. Drill results from last year identified high-grade gold along these easterly and north-easterly exploration trends in the lower (northern) mountain. This year, our drill targeting will focus on delineating feeder structures in the lower mountain responsible for widespread gold anomalism intercepted in the upper (southern) Cloud Drifter drill holes.  Additionally, we are allocating about a third of our program to follow up on results at Day Trip, Langara, and Standard zones from our ongoing RAB drill program.”

Overview

Last year Kingfisher drill tested approximately 10% of the Cloud Drifter Trend in the first-ever drill program on the 511 km² project. The 2021 drill results indicated the presence of a large hydrothermal system with broad gold anomalism throughout and multiple high-grade intervals discovered by drilling in areas of forest cover.

Geological interpretations identify four target types at Cloud Drifter: 1) high-grade gold in steep shears, such as 73.40 g/t Au over 1 m in hole GR22-014; 2) complex structural zones and associated high-grade feeder breccia bodies, such as 6.88 g/t over 9 m in hole GR22-007; 3) quartz diorite hosted homogenous (disseminated and stockwork) mineralization styles that are yet to be tested with drilling; and 4) broad gold anomalism along subhorizontal lithological boundaries, such as 16 m of 0.60 g/t Au in GR22-004.

The 2022 drill strategy at Cloud Drifter is two-part: with both step out holes and new exploration holes planned. Step out drill holes will follow-up on high-grade intervals (e.g., 6.88 g/t Au in hole GR22-007 and 73.40 g/t Au in hole GR22-014; Figure 2). Structural interpretations indicate a common structural trend along these two intercepts that also coincides with a surface sample of 128.9 g/t Au.

Pad 400 Target Area

An important structural trend in the lower Cloud Drifter Zone correlates with multiple high-grade Au intercepts in 2021 drill holes. The structure strikes easterly and dips moderately south (Figure 2). The structural expression is more than 25 m true thickness, which also coincides with a coincident chargeability-conductivity geophysical anomaly. The high-grade Au intercepted along the structure (see Figure 2) is separated by 100 m and 60 m of true distance along the structure, and the there are no holes which test the deeper extents. Drilling in this area will test the potential for lateral and down-dip continuity of high-grade gold along the structure.

Eastern Target Area

Initial exploration holes outboard of the Pad 400 Target Area will target previously untested geochemical, and geophysical anomalies located up to 450 m east (Figure 4) and 650 m west (Figure 6) from 2021 drill collars. At the Eastern Target Area (Figure 4), mapping and rock sampling of limited rock exposures in forest cover indicate the presence of both a high sulfide and a high vein density domain with homogeneous mineralization textures (Figure 5). Stockwork and disseminated mineralization styles in rocks in this area grade up to 9.7 g/t Au and coincide with strong multi-element (Au, Ag, As, Cu, Bi, Te, Sb, Zn, Mo, W) anomalism in soil geochemistry. Based on the homogeneous textures and consistent vein densities, there is potential for continuity of grade laterally between outcrops and vertically at depth.  

Western Target Area

Planned holes at the Western Target Area (Figure 6) will target the highest multi-element soil geochemical anomaly (Au, Ag, Cu, Zn, Pb, Sb, Bi, Te, W) in the Cloud Drifter Zone coupled with a coincident conductivity and chargeability anomaly. Geological mapping in 2020 identified an Fe-oxide alteration body uphill of this soil anomaly (Figure 6). This alteration domain hosts abundant Fe-oxide veins (Figure 7) interpreted to reflect the reaction of sulfide minerals with meteoric water and air. One of the samples with the least Fe-oxide and most primary sulfide graded 21.4 g/t Au. The Western Target Area has seen little exploration to date due to the steep nature of the terrain, yet it is large in scale and exploration potential.  It will be initially tested with relative long drill holes to transect the broad Fe-oxide alteration on the slope.

Options Grant

The Company also announces the grant of 2,000,000 stock options exercisable for a period of five years at a price of C$0.30 per share to various directors, officers, and employees.  The options will be subject to deferred vesting over one year and is part of Kingfisher’s ongoing strategy of granting stock options to attract and retain talent.

(TSX-V: KFR) (FSE: 970) (OTCQB: KGFMF) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of rotary air blast (RAB) drilling at the 100% owned 511 km² Goldrange Project. Goldrange is located approximately 25 km south of the town of Tatla Lake in the Chilcotin region of Southwest British Columbia.

Highlights

• The Company plans for a 35-day rotary air blast (RAB) drill program to test the Day Trip, Langara, and Standard zones. Production with the RAB drill averages one hole per day with a depth capability of up to 100 m.

• Proposed RAB holes at the Day Trip Zone will test several targets where highly anomalous geochemistry (up to 20.1 g/t Au in subcrop and up to 8.3 g/t Au in talus fines) coincides with very high IP chargeability (up to 97 mV/V) and conductivity.

• At the Langara Zone, planned holes will target below a historical adit and sheeted quartz-sulfide veins mapped on surface. Rock samples at Langara grade up to 60.4 g/t Au, 1500.1 g/t Ag, and 6.8 % Cu.

• Results from backpack drilling in 2020 at the Standard Zone of 10.84 g/t Au over 6.9 m will be followed-up with RAB, which will also target the Standard adit downslope.

Dustin Perry, CEO states “We are excited to be back at Goldrange for an expanded 2022 discovery-focused drill program.  Initial RAB drilling will test high quality, shallow targets at the Day Trip, Langara, and Standard Zones, which have been substantially de-risked through structural mapping, IP geophysics and backpack drilling. The RAB drill provides us with a low-cost drill option for near-surface targets as an initial pass prior to diamond drilling.”

About Goldrange

The 511 km² Goldrange Project spans over 43 km along a complex structural zone within the Yalakom Gold Belt in southwest British Columbia. Goldrange was acquired to cover a broad area of widespread anomalous gold mineralization in streams, soils, and rocks. In 2021, Kingfisher completed the first-ever diamond drill program on the property which focused on approximately 10% of the Cloud Drifter Trend – the most advanced target on the property that includes the Cloud Drifter, Langara, Standard, Essential, and Waterfall Zones.  Initial results returned highlights of 73.4 g/t Au over 1 m, 6.9 g/t Au over 9 m and 18.7 g/t Au over 2 m.  Widespread anomalous gold mineralization was intercepted throughout the area of drilling which spanned ~600 m by ~350 m and tested over 550 m of vertical extent. 

The RAB drilling program in 2022 is focusing on shallow targets at the Day Trip, Langara, and Standard zones shown on Figure 1 and each zone is explained in more detail below.  The diamond drilling program in 2022 will focus on the lower elevation areas of the Cloud Drifter Zone and is scheduled to begin in mid-June. Details on diamond drill targets will be announced in future releases.

Day Trip Zone

The Day Trip Zone covers a rounded to flat mountain top approximately 5 km southeast of the Cloud Drifter Trend (Figure 2).  The target covers a minimum 900 x 500 m area of geophysical and geochemical anomalism that projects under talus cover on all sides The target is situated between two fault splays rooted in the regional Ottarasko Fault.  Intrusive-hosted veins up to 2 m in width occur over an area ~100 m by 400 m.  Quartz veins from this area returned grades from below detection limit to 6.7 g/t Au over 2 m.  Adjacent to the intrusion is a ~70 m x 90 m area of arsenopyrite-cement breccia in subcrop.  Approximately 20% of the subcrop material in this area consists of arsenopyrite-cement breccia and grades from 3.4 to 20.1 g/t Au (see release dated May 13, 2021).  Talus fine sampling in 2020 and 2021 outlined a broad area of gold anomalism (>100 ppb Au) over ~100 m x 450 m and grades up to 8.4 g/t Au over the subcrop breccia area.  Talus fine anomalies are coincident with areas of gold in outcrop and subcrop that graded up to 20.1 g/t Au.  Rock and talus fine geochemistry both yield a strong multi-element signature of elevated As, Ag, Cu, Bi, Te, and Pb associated with Au.

IP surveying was completed in 2021 and consisted of 5 lines spanning 4.2 km (see release dated January 12, 2022).  The survey delineated three domains with significant high chargeability values (>32 mV/V), the largest of which is broadly coincident with areas of known mineralization and talus fine anomalies. The strongest chargeability values (>60 mV/V) within the survey area are coincident with high conductivity responses on survey lines 3500, 3600, and 3700. Anomaly 3600E (Figure 5) coincides with a 90 x 70 m subcrop of sulfide-cement breccia. The geophysical anomalies are open to the south, north, and southwest as well as at depth. No rock or soil samples have been collected in the western chargeable zones to date.

Proposed RAB drill holes at Day Trip will target multiple at-surface and near-surface coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies.  The proposed holes will drill below mapped mineralization hosted in sheeted veins on surface (see Figure 4) as well as below a sulfide-cement body mapped in subcrop (see Figure 5).  The chargeability targets each demonstrate an excellent correlation with known structural features projected to depth, such as faults, intrusive contacts or projection of breccia body.  One chargeability anomaly (3600E, Figure 5) does not continue to surface despite a spatial association with surface mineralization. This low chargeability area is interpreted to reflect a loss of sulphide near surface due to oxidation, which is also identified in rocks on the surface (e.g., Figure 3).

Langara Zone

The Langara Zone (Figure 6) is located at the eastern extent of Cloud Drifter Trend, a ~3 x 2 km gold anomaly. The Langara target is centered on a diorite intrusion that is part of the Bendor suite, emplaced into fossil-rich sandstone of the Cloud Drifter Formation. Quartz-sulfide veins are focused along northerly lithological contacts and easterly dextral-reverse faults. Hydrothermal breccia bodies lie in structural intersection domains and were the focus of hand mining activities in the 1930s. Previous assay results from 2020 work at Langara can be found in the release dated April 14, 2021.

RAB drill targets at Langara were selected from detailed surface structural mapping coupled with surface geochemical results. An IP geophysical survey was not employed at Langara due to the presence of chargeable geology in the background rocks. The principal target at Langara is below the historical adit, which is located in a major structural interference zone (Figure 6) between a northerly vein swarm and an easterly brittle fault and shear vein corridor. The planned RAB holes will target both the northerly sheeted veins (Figure 7) and easterly shear veins and the Langara adit breccia-style mineralization, projected to plunge steeply to the south (Figure 8).

Standard Zone

The Standard Zone is the site of a historical adit (1930s) and is located on a steep cliff band to the south of the Cloud Drifter Zone (Figure 9).  Mineralization occurs along a north-trending fold corridor that projects under cover to the north.  Mineralization is focused within gentle to moderately dipping veins as well as sulfide-cement breccia within the fold hinge. The planned RAB hole will target the projection of the ore shoot mined in the 1930s and a backpack hole drilled in 2020, which included 10.84 g/t Au over 6.9 m in breccia (see core photo Figure 10 and release dated April 21, 2021). Drill and surface sampling results have confirmed that arsenopyrite-rich, breccia-style mineralization at Goldrange is associated with the highest-grade gold intercepts.

Future Plans

Diamond drill pad construction is currently underway, and the Company anticipates the arrival of a diamond drill on or about June 10, 2022.  Diamond drill targets at the Cloud Drifter Zone will be outlined in future releases.
