Kingfisher Mining validates Stephens Trig mineralisation
Kingfisher Mining Ltd managing director Chris Bittar talked with Proactive about high-grade silver-lead-zinc results from drilling at the Stephens Trig and Allendale prospects near Broken Hill, as well as the company’s upcoming work at its flagship Copper Blow copper-gold project. Bittar said the drilling was designed both to validate historical results and confirm grade continuity, while also testing the potential extent of mineralisation along strike and down dip. Kingfisher holds a 75% interest in both Stephens Trig and Allendale, with Broken Hill Mines holding the remaining 25%. At Allendale, drilling returned an intersection of nine metres at 8% lead-zinc and 18 grams per tonne silver, including five metres at 10% lead-zinc and 23 grams per tonne silver. At Stephens Trig, where Kingfisher completed five holes for about 580 metres, results included five metres at 7.4% lead-zinc with 10 grams per tonne silver. A higher-grade interval returned two metres at 7.5% lead-zinc with 24 grams per tonne silver, while another intersection returned one metre at 198 grams per tonne silver. Bittar said the projects are supported by Kingfisher’s mining and processing agreement with Broken Hill Mines, with the company seeking shallow, high-grade mineralisation close to existing infrastructure that could potentially provide feed for the Broken Hill mill. For the remainder of the year, Kingfisher plans to focus its funds and exploration efforts on Copper Blow. The company has received formal drilling approval in New South Wales and is seeking to secure a rig for diamond and RC drilling. Metallurgical sampling and test work has also commenced, while Kingfisher continues to assess targets along Copper Blow’s four-kilometre magnetic trend. The company is also working toward completing a maiden resource by the end of the year. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more interviews and market updates.
