Following encouraging results from the company’s initial RC drilling program in December 2025, Kingfisher has mobilised a reverse circulation rig to commence the next phase of drilling at the Copper Blow prospect.
Kingfisher’s MD, Chris Bittar, said the upcoming RC drilling program will target extensions to the mineralised lodes identified in the company’s previous drilling program, which confirmed the continuity of copper-gold mineralisation across the approximately 600m strike length at Copper Blow.
“We are pleased to be back on site at Copper Blow and drilling again following the completion of approvals and access arrangements,” he said.
“This program is focused on extending the known high-grade copper-gold mineralisation and strengthening our understanding of the system, as we work toward delivering a maiden mineral resource estimate.
“Importantly, the work supports our broader development strategy following the execution of a mining and processing agreement with Broken Hill Mines, providing a potential pathway to process Copper Blow ore through existing infrastructure in Broken Hill.”
The December drilling returned several significant high-grade copper-gold intercepts, such as 13m at 1.2% copper and 0.26 grams per tonne (g/r) gold g/t 23m; including 4.0m at 3.43% copper and 0.74 g/t gold.
“These results successfully validated historical drilling and confirmed the presence of broad zones of copper- gold mineralisation within both the North and South zones of the Copper Blow prospect,” Mr Bittar said.
Drilling was initially scheduled to commence earlier in the year, but was temporarily delayed due to weather, access constraints, and the timing of regulatory approvals.
Copper Blow is located approximately 20km southeast of the city of Broken Hill and represents one of the most advanced copper-gold exploration opportunities within the company’s NSW portfolio.
Historical drilling has defined two main mineralised zones – the North and South zones – separated by a fault structure across approximately 600m of strike.
KFM is down -1.16% to 8.5¢. Mkt cap $8.950M.
