Kingman Engages Godbe Drilling For Mohave Gold Project Phase II Program
Vancouver, B.C. (September 14, 2021) Kingman Minerals Ltd. (“Kingman” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: KGS, FSE: 47A1, OTCQB: KGSSF) is pleased to announce that is has engaged Godbe Drilling to conduct the Phase II drill program on the Mohave Gold Project in Arizona, USA. The program consists of an initial five holes and is permitted for up to 24, which will be completed over the coming months.
Mohave Project Update
Kingman completed two underground reconnaissance programs (2020) and an initial drill campaign (Phase I – March 2021) to verify mining and exploration data on the historic Rosebud Mine and property. The program was designed to investigate the nature, extent and validity of the historic resource. The drill program was highly successful in locating vein structures, historic workings and the assays confirmed historically reported values. The reconnaissance and drill programs also encountered a significant underground development indicating a productive mine life with reserve potential still untapped. Based on these encouraging results, the Company expanded the Project from the initial 20 lode claims to 71 lode claims surrounding not only the historic Rosebud Mine, but also the past producing Music Mountain Mine.

Details of each of the five holes drilled in Phase I were reported in news releases on February 26, March 5, March 12, March 24, March 26, March 30, April 1, April 7, April 9, and April 16, 2021. The success of the drill program warrants further exploration and development of the Mohave Project in previously unexplored zones.
Phase II Preparation
The technical team has thoroughly reviewed the data and knowledge from prior phases, revisited the historical data and evaluated the structural and lithological controls on mineralization as per drone survey. With encouraging results and an ambitious strategy in place, the company will conduct its 24-hole program on a step-by step basis, while carefully monitoring the results of drilling with the performance of the gold bull market over the coming months. Drilling will start testing the extension of the auriferous vein system present at and close to surface as well as the deeper levels of a potential precious metals and/or base metal ore body.
Dr. Peter Born, P. Geo, Qualified Person for Kingman Minerals Ltd. and President and CEO states: “The Mohave Project deserves to be advanced to uncover its true geological potential. There is no better hedge against discovery failure than two past-producing mines; one of which is located on the Mohave Project area and one right proximal to it. Our extensive data room put together over the past two years shows enormous exploration upside. The market also favours pursuing this exceptional opportunity further and we expect to bring increased shareholder value with this next program.”
