Kingman Prepares NI 43-101 Technical Report On The Mohave Project
Vancouver, B.C. (May 28, 2020) Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:KGS)(FSE:47A1) (“Kingman” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that the Company is currently in the process of preparing a NI43-101 compliant technical report on the Mohave Project (“Mohave”).
In 2020, Burgex Mining Consultants (“Burgex”) were contracted to determine accessibility of the Rosebud Mine and complete two underground sampling programs. During the prior program, Burgex was able to use ropes and ladders to assess the safety and stability of the main production shaft and lower themselves down to the 100-foot level of the abandoned mine. Below the 100ft level the shaft was blocked by debris and garbage, which Burgex was able to successfully clear during this second program in order to gain access to the 200ft level. Additional debris was blocking the shaft below the 200ft level preventing them from accessing the 250ft level.
A photo tour, videos and additional details of the first and second reconnaissance programs are available on Company website at https://kingmanminerals.com/projects/mohave-project/first-underground-program/ and https://kingmanminerals.com/projects/mohave-project/2nd-phase-underground-reconnaissance-sampling-program/

The samples that Burgex collected were sent to ALS Laboratories in Reno, Nevada and were analyzed using the ALS method ME-GRA21 for gold and silver. This method is a fire assay method for optimal precious metal recovery. The ME-GRA21 method is described as "Au and Ag by fire assay and gravimetric finish ". This is what ALS recommends for the type samples from Rosebud.
QA/QC procedures used for this second round of underground sampling included the use of two different Au/Ag standards and one blank standard prepared by MEG, Inc. of Reno, Nevada. These standards and blank were inserted into the sample batch with the rest of the Burgex 2nd round samples. Analytical results of the standards and blank were within their respective acceptable ranges.
The results of both programs will be implemented into the NI43-101 technical report. “The Company is incredibly proud of the acquisition of the Mohave Project and our progress to date. This project has immense potential and our team has really come together to make these efforts despite the obvious challenges posed by the recent COVID concerns. Kingman intends to continue to move forward undeterred and will announce its go forward plans once the information has been finalized” stated Sandy MacDougall, Chairman and Director.
The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Bradley C. Peek, MSc. and Certified Professional Geologist who is a Qualified Person with respect to Kingman’s Mohave Project as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
