Kingfisher Mining Limited has intersected high-grade lead, zinc and silver mineralization at the Allendale project, returning 9 metres at 8.05% combined lead and zinc with 17.9 grams per tonne silver from 64 metres in hole 26ADRC_052.

The reverse circulation program at the silver-lead-zinc project, located approximately 40 kilometres north of Broken Hill, New South Wales, comprised nine holes for 802 metres. Hole 26ADRC_052 included a higher-grade intercept of 5 metres at 10.37% lead and zinc and 23.2 grams per tonne silver from 65 metres, alongside 4 metres at 6.12% lead and zinc and 22.7 grams per tonne silver from 78 metres.

Additional results from the program include hole 26ADRC_050, which returned 7 metres at 3.32% lead and zinc and 7.9 grams per tonne silver from 37 metres, and hole 26ADRC_054, which intersected 7 metres at 1.90% lead and zinc and 5.9 grams per tonne silver from 5 metres near surface.

Kingfisher holds a 75% interest in Allendale, with the remaining 25% held by Broken Hill Mines. The company acquired the project as part of an 11-tenement portfolio purchase from Austin Metals Limited that was completed in December 2025.

“The Allendale results reinforce the quality and diversity of Kingfisher's Broken Hill portfolio, adding another high- grade base and precious metals opportunity while providing further exposure to the district's significant silver-lead- zinc potential alongside our flagship Copper Blow copper-gold project.” — Chris Bittar, Managing Director

To evaluate potential development pathways, Kingfisher entered into a Mining and Processing Agreement with Broken Hill Mines in March 2026, establishing a framework to process ore from its Broken Hill portfolio through the Rasp Mine facility.

Regional exploration activity near the project includes Broken Hill Mines Limited reporting a drill intercept of 17.8 metres at 10.1% zinc equivalent and 280 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 420 metres at the Centenary discovery on 17 August 2026.

Kingfisher will now integrate the new assays into its geological model to guide upcoming work at Allendale, where further drilling will focus on defining the continuity and geometry of mineralised zones along strike and at depth.
