Kingfisher outlines porphyry drill target at HWY 37

KINGFISHER OUTLINES NEW PORPHYRY TARGET 6 KM FROM HIGHWAY AND POWER, HWY 37 PROJECT, GOLDEN TRIANGLE

Kingfisher Metals Corp. has delineated a new porphyry drill target at the Turquoise target area. Interpretation of recently updated geophysical inversion data sets highlight a compelling subsurface target within the company's 933-square-kilometre HWY 37 project, located in the Golden Triangle in British Columbia.

Key highlights:

  • New near-surface porphyry copper-gold target identified at the Turquoise target area characterized by a 0.5-by-2.0-kilometre chargeability anomaly; the magnetic vector amplitude inversion (MVI), direct-current (DC) resistivity and the mobile magnetotellurics (MMT) resistivity data sets all support the core target domain;
  • Majority of target area is covered by a landslide and glacial till, interpreted to cover the core porphyry alteration target with only discrete lateral alteration expressions at surface;
  • Porphyry proximal indications include advanced argillic mineralogy (dickite and vuggy silica) on surface and high-pyrite abundance near geophysical core target domain;
  • Target is near-surface and drill ready.

Dustin Perry, chief executive officer of Kingfisher, stated: "The Turquoise target is a direct result of our systematic exploration approach, which continues to unlock new opportunities across this underexplored yet highly prospective region of the Golden Triangle. The target is located within the emerging Hank-Mary district and only approximately six kilometres from existing infrastructure. Turquoise represents a compelling new drill target that we're excited to test this summer as we continue to build a strong pipeline of high-quality targets across the HWY 37 project."

Turquoise porphyry target

A new porphyry target has been identified approximately 3.4 kilometres east of the Hank porphyry discovery hole (HW-25-011). The target is centred on a 0.5-by-2.0-kilometre chargeability anomaly (greater than 12.0 millivolts per volt) and is supported by the recent MMT inversion and magnetic inversion products. Geophysical patterns define a possible fluid upwelling or structural root to the anomaly, supported by coincident geophysical signatures and surface geology mapping. The scale of the target area is approximately one by 3.4 kilometres, elongated to the northeast.

Geophysical highlights:

  • IP (induced polarization) chargeability: A large, coherent chargeability anomaly extends to surface and is spatially coincident with mapped pyrite alteration. The anomaly forms a volume approximately 0.5 kilometre wide, 0.5 kilometre deep and 2.0 kilometres long and could define a broad sulphide-rich system. The peak chargeability values are 25 millivolts per volt.
  • MVI amplitude: A steep, low- to moderate-amplitude magnetic feature is interpreted to reflect a structural focus or a fluid flow pathway. This feature appears to focus on the core of the chargeability anomaly, refining the primary drill target.
  • Resistivity (MMT and DC): Integrated resistivity data sets define classic porphyry-style architecture:
    • A mushroom-shaped, low-resistivity (conductive) cap with values ranging between 25 and 100 ohm-metres and dimensions of approximately 1.0 kilometre deep, 4.0 kilometres wide and 6.0 kilometres long, coincident with mapped clay-rich alteration.
    • Underlying low- to moderate-resistivity domains are interpreted as potential porphyry stockwork zones, with the central stem representing a central fluid upwelling within a broad alteration system.
    • Moderate resistivity at surface correlates with mapped siliceous advanced argillic alteration.

Surface geology highlights:

  • Mapping indicates a vector toward higher-temperature alteration toward the core target. Advanced argillic mineralogy, including dickite and vuggy silica, has been identified above the chargeability anomaly and may indicate a porphyry-top position.
  • Sericite-chlorite-pyrite-quartz alteration observed at surface within the core target area is consistent with porphyry-style alteration observed at the Hank porphyry.
  • The projected surface expression of the core target is largely obscured by landslide and moraine cover. However, proximal outcrops report elevated pyrite contents (greater than 5 per cent), supporting the geophysical interpretation.
  • Representative prospecting and rock sampling in the valley remain limited due to extensive till and landslide cover.
