Kingfisher Samples 10.84 G/T Gold over 6.90 m at Goldrange

Vancouver, B.C. – April 21, 2021 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE:970) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce rock sampling and backpack drilling results from the 2020 exploration program at its 100% owned Goldrange Project, located in southwestern British Columbia.  The Goldrange Project is located approximately 25km south of the town of Tatla Lake with logging road access to the north end of the 367km2 project. 

Highlights

  • Backpack drilling of 10.84 g/t Au over 6.9 m from surface.
  • 33 rock samples with an average grade of 11.64 g/t Au and a median grade of 4.73 g/t Au.
  • 8 rock samples over 10 g/t Au with highlights of 82.10 g/t Au, 63.90 g/t Au, 40.40 g/t Au, and 31.80 g/t Au.

“The results from our Cloud Drifter Trend continue to impress us.  Our 2020 work has now returned 312 rock samples averaging 6.26 g/t Au.  Additionally, it is very encouraging to see good grades over significant widths from surface in backpack drilling. We are very excited to put the first diamond drill holes into the Cloud Drifter Trend this summer.” Stated CEO, Dustin Perry.

“In just a handful of field days our exploration team discovered two new gold showings and collected outstanding results from the Standard Zone. These time-efficient products are a testament to our hard working, results-driven team. This new mineralization style provides us with a key vector for analogous focused gold corridors within the Cloud Drifter Trend.”  Stated VP Exploration, Gayle Febbo. 

The Goldrange Project covers a significant deformation zone with numerous precious metal veins across the project.  Mineralization at Goldrange occurs as orogenic gold of similar age of the Bridge River camp, part of the Yalakom Gold Belt.  Several areas of historical hand mining are located within the project and date back to the 1930s.

The 2020 exploration program was focused on defining drill targets at the Cloud Drifter Trend as well as evaluating the potential of several historically sampled mineralized zones on the project. 

The Cloud Drifter Trend is a band of several historical zones of mineralization tied together by a highly anomalous Au-Ag-As-Sb-Cu-Bi-Te soil anomaly with grades up to 22.08 g/t Au (see March 31, 2021 release).  Limited historical rock sampling was completed within the highest strength geochemical anomaly at the Cloud Drifter Zone and was the focus of 2020 work.

Previously released rock sampling at the Cloud Drifter Trend outlined 279 rock samples grading up to 128.90 g/t Au and averaging 5.62 g/t Au (see April 14, 2021 release). 

The current release includes 33 rock samples (figure 1) and one backpack drill hole totalling 9.60m.  Rock chip sampling returned grades from 0.03 g/t Au to 82.1 g/t Au with an average grade of 11.64 g/t Au (table 1).  Rock grab samples are selective in nature and cannot be considered as representative of the underlying mineralization.  Backpack drilling returned 10.84 g/t Au over 6.90m from surface at the Standard Zone.

Figure 2: Standard, Essential, and Waterfall 2020 Rock Samples

Backpack drilling was completed in one hole (BP-ST-20-01) above the historical workings.  Drilling was collared to test a prominent gossan up slope of the adit.  The 9.6m vertical drill hole was oriented perpendicular to flat lying veins in the area and down the hinge of an anticline.  Drilling encountered gold mineralization throughout the hole with a highlight intercept of 10.84 g/t Au over 6.90m from surface containing a sub-interval of 18.35 g/t Au over 2.90m from 1.09m.  Detailed drill results can be found within the appendix of the linked technical presentation.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Rock samples were submitted to Acme Labs, a division of Bureau Veritas, located in Vancouver, British Columbia, an ISO9001:2008 accredited laboratory. The rocks samples were prepared using the PRP70-250 method by crushing 1.0kg of rock to =>70% passing through a 2mm sieve. Two hundred and fifty grams was then pulverized so that =>85% passes through a less than 75 μm sieve. A 0.25g split was then subjected to a 4 acid near total digest where the split is heated in a HNO3, HClO4 and HF solution to fuming, dried and then dissolved in HCL. The resulting solution was then analyzed for 45 major and trace elements using ICP-ES/MS (method code MA200). A 30g split was analyzed for gold using a lead collection fire assay fusion that was then digested and analyzed using AAS (method code FA430).

A 30g split of samples that assayed >10ppm gold and/or >200ppm Ag were analyzed using a lead collection fire assay fusion with a gravimetric finish (method code FA530). Samples that assayed for >200 ppm W, > 4000ppm Bi, Mo, Sb, >10000 ppm Cu, Pb or Zn were digested using a HNO3, HClO4 and HF solution to fuming, dried and then dissolved in HCL. The resulting solution was then analyzed using ICP-ES (method code MA370). Samples that assayed > 10000ppm As were digested using a modified aqua regia digestion (1:1:1 HNO3:HCl:H2O) and analyzed using ICP-ES (method code MA370).

Kingfisher Outlines a Broad Area of Orogenic Gold Mineralization up to 128.9 G/T Gold

Vancouver, B.C. – April 14th, 2021 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR) (FSE:970) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its initial rock sampling and backpack drilling results from the 2020 exploration program at its 100% owned Goldrange Project, located in southwestern British Columbia.  The Goldrange Project is located approximately 25km south of the town of Tatla Lake with logging road access to the north end of the 367km2 project. 

Highlights

  • 279 rock samples with an average grade of 5.62 g/t Au and a median grade of 2.22 g/t Au.
  • 38 samples over 10 g/t Au with highlights of 128.90 g/t Au, 67.20 g/t Au, 53.90 g/t Au, 48.10 g/t Au, 46.00 g/t Au, and 45.60 g/t Au.
  • Channel sampling up to 2.08 g/t Au over 6m.
  • Backpack drilling up to 0.97 g/t Au over 8.3m.
  • Identification of multiple structural styles of mineralization within intrusive, volcanic, and sedimentary rocks.
  • Identification of two broad areas of intense structurally-hosted quartz veins at the Cloud Drifter and Langara Zones.

“An average grade of 5.62 g/t Au over 279 samples is very significant and helps to explain what is causing the 3 km-long gold-in-soil anomaly.  All shallow backpack drill holes in the Cloud Drifter Trend returned gold mineralization and hand trenches in the forest were also successful at outlining gold mineralization.” Stated CEO, Dustin Perry.

“Our 2020 field program encountered many new zones of previously unsampled mineralization, which suggests that this highly prospective segment of the Yalakom Gold Belt has been largely underexplored.  Our geological model corroborates the geochemical results along the trend and allows us to plan our 2021 drill program with confidence.” Stated VP Exploration, Gayle Febbo.

The Goldrange Project covers a significant deformation zone with numerous precious metal veins across the project.  Mineralization at Goldrange occurs as orogenic gold of similar age of the Bridge River camp, part of the Yalakom Gold Belt.  Several areas of historical hand mining are located within the project and date back to the 1930s.

The 2020 exploration program was focused on defining drill targets at the Cloud Drifter Trend as well as evaluating the potential of several historically sampled mineralized zones on the project. 

The Cloud Drifter Trend is a band of several historical zones of mineralization tied together by a highly anomalous Au-Ag-As-Sb-Cu-Bi-Te soil anomaly with grades up to 22.08 g/t Au (see March 31, 2021 release).  Limited historical rock sampling was completed within the highest strength geochemical anomaly at the Cloud Drifter Zone and was the focus of 2020 work.

There were 279 rock samples (figure 1) within the Cloud Drifter and Langara Zones at the Cloud Drifter Trend.  The average value of the 2020 results is 5.62 g/t Au with a median value of 2.22 g/t Au (table 1).  Rock sample results range from below detection limit to 128.90 g/t Au.  Rock grab samples are selective in nature and cannot be considered as representative of the underlying mineralization.  

A more detailed presentation of the results included with this release can be found on the Company’s website: Cloud Drifter Trend 2020 Rock Sampling Results.  Additionally, Dustin Perry and Gayle Febbo discuss the presentation in more detail: Goldrange: Cloud Drifter Trend 2020 Rock Sampling Results – YouTube.

Table 1: 2020 Rock Sample Statistics

Rock sampling within the Cloud Drifter Zone (figure 2) was highly successful at outlining several broad areas of quartz-sulfide mineralization where very limited historical work had been completed.  Sampling at the upper Cloud Drifter Zone (see inset in figure 2) was completed with significantly more detail than elsewhere due to excellent exposure in that location.  

Figure 2: Cloud Drifter Zone 2020 Rock Samples

Backpack drilling (49.97 m over 15 shallow holes) was completed at the Argo and Upper Cloud Drifter Zones as well as the Langara Zone.  Drilling was completed where access was safe and possible given that no drill pads were built.  Given the forested nature of the majority of the Cloud Drifter soil anomaly and the access issues from possible helicopter landing sites, no drilling was completed within this area.  Backpack drilling is limited in its penetration capability and the deepest drill hole included within this release was 8.3m. 

Highlights from backpack drilling within the Cloud Drifter Trend include:

  • 8.3m of 0.97 g/t Au in hole BP-CD-20-02
  • 1m of 6.05 g/t Au in hole BP-CD-20-05 
  • 4m of 0.28 g/t Au, 33.65 g/t Ag, and 0.42% Cu in BP-LG-20-06  

Detailed assay results for all backpack drill holes as well as annotated core photos for BP-CD-20-02 can be found within the presentation associated with this release.

Rock sampling at the Langara Zone (figure 3) was limited in its extent and focused around two historic adits, which date back to the 1930s.  Access to the adits was not possible due to recent talus obscuring the entrances.  Sampling from dumps and workings returned values up to 14.4 g/t Au.  The peak value from the Langara Zone was 30.2 g/t Au which exceeded historically documented peak values in the zone.  The peak silver value within the Cloud Drifter Trend was located within the Langara Zone and returned 1500.1 g/t Ag.

Kingfisher Provides Initial Soil Sampling Results of Grades up to 22.08 G/T Gold

Vancouver, B.C. – March 31, 2021 – Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSX-V: KFR, FSE: 970) (“Kingfisher” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce initial results from the 2020 exploration program at its 100% owned Goldrange Project, located in Southwestern British Columbia. The Goldrange Project is located approximately 25km south of the town of Tatla Lake, with logging road access to the north end of the 367km2 project. 

Highlights

  • 997 soil samples were taken at the Cloud Drifter Trend within the Goldrange Project.

  • Detailed (25m x 25m) infill soil sampling confirmed and strengthened a historical anomaly defined in 1987-88. 

  • Soil sampling returned highly anomalous gold grades up to 22.08 g/t Au with 30 samples over 1 g/t Au. 

  • The combined 2020 and 1987-88 soil anomaly includes 2473 samples with 50 samples over 1 g/t Au, 134 samples over 0.5 g/t Au, and 306 samples over 0.25 g/t Au. 

  • Detailed geological mapping of the area identified a robust orogenic/intrusion related gold system that is likely responsible for the anomaly. 

“I am very impressed with our technical team’s ability to have outlined such a robust target on a tight budget over two 3-week periods in 2020. Cloud Drifter represents an opportunity for the discovery of a new orogenic gold system in Southern British Columbia. Kingfisher is currently analysing data from the 2020 exploration program and is formulating plans for drill testing of the Cloud Drifter Trend. It should be noted that the 4.5km² Cloud Drifter Trend occupies only ~1% of the 367km² Goldrange Project and highlights the regional prospectivity of the project.” Stated CEO, Dustin Perry. 

Vice President of Exploration Gayle Febbo comments “The 2020 exploration program at the Cloud Drifter Trend confirmed and enhanced the historic data acquired from 1987-88. Sampling and mapping outlined a 3km-long strong multi-element anomaly coincident with quartz-sulphide veins in outcrop. Detailed geological mapping outlined a robust, structurally controlled gold vein system with domains of high-density quartz-sulphide veins spatially associated with the strongest gold-in-soil anomalies. The Cloud Drifter Trend represents a potentially world-class drill target within an underexplored orogenic gold belt.”

The Goldrange Project covers a significant deformation zone with numerous precious metal veins across the project. Mineralization at Goldrange occurs as orogenic gold and intrusion related gold systems.  Several areas of historic hand mining are located within the project and date back to the 1930s. The historic soil anomaly was originally defined in 1987-88 by Ross Beaty’s first company, Equinox Resources, during a period of declining gold prices.

The 2020 exploration program was focused on defining drill targets at the Cloud Drifter Trend as well as evaluating the potential of several historically defined mineralized zones on the property.  Additionally, a property-wide LiDAR survey was completed to aid in mapping the structural geology on the district-scale project. High-resolution (50m line spacing) airborne magnetics and radiometrics were completed over the Cloud Drifter Trend. 

The Cloud Drifter Trend includes several historic zones of mineralization tied together by a highly anomalous historic Au-As soil anomaly that was sampled in 1987-88 (figure 1). Within the historic soil anomaly limited historic rock sampling, prospecting, and mapping was completed. Kingfisher identified the unexplained anomaly as having the potential to be related to a significant orogenic gold system. The 2020 exploration program was focused on developing a geological model for the area as well as confirming and increasing the resolution of the historic soil anomaly.  

There were 977 soil samples that were completed between 100m spaced historic sample lines (figure 2) in a 25m x 25m grid pattern. Sampling returned highly elevated concentrations of gold with coincident highly anomalous concentrations of Ag, As, Sb, Cu, Bi, Te, and W.  The 2020 soil survey returned values from below detection limit up to 22.08 g/t Au with 30 samples over 1 g/t Au, 76 samples over 0.5 g/t Au, and 175 samples over 0.25 g/t Au.  

 

Figure 1 – 1987-88 Soil Sampling

 

Figure 2 – 2020 Soil Sampling

 

Figure 3 – Combined Soil Sampling

Combined with the 1987-88 historical survey (figure 3), there are 50 samples over 1 g/t Au and 134 samples over 0.5 g/t Au. Across the 3km trend the combined surveys have a median value of 39.0 ppb Au with a 90th percentile of 303.8 ppb Au (0.3 g/t Au). 

The Cloud Drifter Trend soil anomalies highlight two distinct anomalies at the Cloud Drifter Zone and the Langara Zone. Between the two regions lies an area of extensive fluvial cover that may be obscuring a potential underlying anomaly. 

Mapping and detailed rock sampling within the Cloud Drifter Trend defined numerous zones of quartz-sulfide veining including discrete quartz-arsenopyrite veins, sheeted quartz-arsenopyrite veins, quartz-arsenopyrite breccias, replacements of massive arsenopyrite, and intrusive-hosted quartz-arsenopyrite ± chalcopyrite stockwork. Mineralization occurs within quartz-diorite, andesite, and sandstones. There is a strong spatial correlation between quartz-sulfide veins and areas of highly anomalous gold-in-soils. 

A more detailed explanation of the Cloud Drifter Trend soil anomaly can be found on Kingfisher’s website:  https://kingfishermetals.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Kingfisher_Soil_Results_March_2021.pdf

Additionally, Dustin Perry, CEO and Gayle Febbo, VP-Ex discuss the results of this news release in video format on Kingfisher’s YouTube channel: Goldrange: Cloud Drifter Trend 2020 Soil Sampling Results – YouTube.

 

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Soil samples weighing approximately 250 grams per sample were delivered by Company personnel to Acme Labs located in Vancouver, BC, an ISO9001:2008 accredited laboratory. The soil samples were prepared using the SS80 method by drying them at 60˚C and sieving to less than 180 μm (80 mesh). A 30 gram split of the sieved soil sample was then subjected to a modified aqua regia digestion (1:1:1 HNO3:HCl:H2O) and analyzed for 37 major and trace elements using ICP-ES/MS (method code AQ252).

Information Concerning KFR

KFR is a privately held mining exploration company with its head office in Vancouver, British Columbia. It currently has 28,103,802 common shares issued and outstanding. There are no persons holding a controlling interest in KFR.

KFR’s operations are focused on world class and underexplored district scale properties in British Columbia, with three 100% owned district scale projects that offer potential exposure to high-grade gold, silver, copper, and zinc. More specifically, the properties consist of the Goldrange property located in south central British Columbia that consists of 22 mineral claims covering 16,328 hectares, the Thibert property located in northern British Columbia that consists of 8 mineral claims covering 12,475 hectares, and the Ecstall property (the “Property”), an early stage exploration property consisting of 28 mineral claims (25,017 hectares), located in the Skeena Mining Division, 56km southeast of Prince Rupert, British Columbia.

KFR completed a three-phase exploration program in 2019 on the Property that consisted of rock sampling, soil sampling, and stream sediment sampling, in addition to a 1501-line kilometer airborne VTEM survey consisting of variable time domain electromagnetics and magnetics. Results of the airborne geophysical survey indicate numerous electromagnetic conductors across the length of the 49km-long Property. Geochemical work in 2019 identified a new zone of mineralization, the “Shiner Zone”, where ~400m of mineralization typical of VMS deposits was discovered following up on the geophysical survey. The 2019 exploration program in addition to a review of historic data warrants future exploration to follow up on geophysical anomalies as well as further refining targets at the Shiner Zone. A $200,000 program consisting of mapping and detailed rock sampling is recommended with potential future drill testing contingent on initial work. To date, KFR has spent approximately $541,687 on exploration activities on the Property.

The technical information in this news release has been prepared by Christopher Dyakowski, P. Geo., the author of the technical report on the Property, which will be filed under the SEDAR profile of the Company in due course, and a qualified person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
