Vancouver, B.C. (January 11, 2024) Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: KGS) (OTCQB: KGSSF) (FSE:47A1) (“Kingman” or the “Company”) (“Kingman” or the “Company”) announces the successful completion of its acquisition of 100% ownership of the 72 Rosebud Mining Claims, including the historic Rosebud Mine, with the final payment to Seguro Project Inc. This strategic move, aligning with the surge in gold prices to all-time highs, positions Kingman Minerals Ltd. for significant growth in the precious metal exploration and development sector.
Key Highlights
The recent acquisition of the 72 Rosebud Mining Claims by Kingman Minerals Ltd., encompassing the historic Rosebud Mine and surrounding mining claims, as part of the Mohave Project in Mohave County, Arizona, marks a significant milestone in the company's portfolio. Through the successful exercise of its Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement” or the “Agreement”) with Seguro Projects Inc., dated September 13, 2019, has now gained full control of a promising exploration, development and mining asset in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction, aligning with its company’s vision and business model.
Kingman’s Exploration Recap
Kingman Minerals Ltd.'s exploration at the Rosebud Mine has encompassed two significant drilling phases, yielding important findings. In Phase I, the company drilled five holes, confirming high-grade zones at various depths. This was aligned with the historical understanding of the mine's workings, which are known to be flooded at deeper levels. The second phase of drilling extended beyond the known Rosebud mine area and reached depths of up to 3000 feet, targeting porphyry-style mineralization and economic metal grades. Although this phase was only partially completed, it produced substantial results, particularly in terms of gold and silver grades. Hole H-05 uncovered 6.0 g/t gold over a 4-foot stretch in diorite and diabase, alongside 26.2 g/t silver. Additionally, within a diabase sulfide-breccia, it revealed 23.3 g/t gold over 1 foot, accompanied by 41.4 g/t silver.
The exploration also involved core hole MH-07, which aimed to reach a depth of 2000 feet but was stopped at 1185 feet due to increased drilling costs. Despite not reaching the target depth, the findings at the lower depths in MH-07 indicated the presence of a potential porphyry intrusive and associated alteration. This suggests the possibility of a larger mineralizing system below, highlighting the untapped potential of the Rosebud Mine.
These results from both phases of drilling are critical in understanding the historical bonanza grade gold and silver resources at the Rosebud Mine and pave the way for future exploration and development efforts of the Mohave Project.
