Key points
- First drilling at Stephens Trig since 2017 confirms high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralisation
- Significant results include 5m @ 7.4% Pb+Zn and 10 g/t Ag and 1m @ 198 g/t Ag
- Drilling validates historical data and highlights the prospectivity of the Broken Hill-style system
Full summary
Kingfisher Mining Ltd (ASX: KFM) has announced significant high-grade silver-lead-zinc mineralisation at its Stephens Trig prospect, located approximately 15 kilometres north of Broken Hill, NSW. The Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program, comprising 5 holes for 584 metres, successfully validated historical drilling and highlighted the potential of this underexplored Broken Hill-style system. Key results include 5m @ 7.4% Pb+Zn and 10 g/t Ag from 79m, 4m @ 2.7% Pb+Zn and 4 g/t Ag from 82m, and a standout 1m @ 198 g/t Ag from 111m. These results build on historical drilling that returned up to 12m @ 9% Pb+Zn and 10 g/t Ag. The findings confirm the presence of high-grade Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation within a 1.5km lead-zinc geochemical anomaly, adding another high-grade opportunity to Kingfisher's Broken Hill exploration pipeline.
