[{"type":"text","content":"Kingfisher Provides Initial Soil Sampling Results of Grades up to 22.08 g/t GoldVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2021 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR)(FSE:970) (\"Kingfisher\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce initial results from the 2020 exploration program at its 100% owned Goldrange Project, located in Southwestern British Columbia. The Goldrange Project is located approximately 25km south of the town of Tatla Lake, with logging road access to the north end of the 367km2 project.Highlights997 soil samples were taken at the Cloud Drifter Trend within the Goldrange Project.Detailed (25m x 25m) infill soil sampling confirmed and strengthened a historical anomaly defined in 1987-88. Soil sampling returned highly anomalous gold grades up to 22.08 g/t Au with 30 samples over 1 g/t Au. The combined 2020 and 1987-88 soil anomaly includes 2473 samples with 50 samples over 1 g/t Au, 134 samples over 0.5 g/t Au, and 306 samples over 0.25 g/t Au. Detailed geological mapping of the area identified a robust orogenic/intrusion related gold system that is likely responsible for the anomaly. \"I am very impressed with our technical team's ability to have outlined such a robust target on a tight budget over two 3-week periods in 2020. Cloud Drifter represents an opportunity for the discovery of a new orogenic gold system in Southern British Columbia. Kingfisher is currently analysing data from the 2020 exploration program and is formulating plans for drill testing of the Cloud Drifter Trend. It should be noted that the 4.5km² Cloud Drifter Trend occupies only ~1% of the 367km² Goldrange Project and highlights the regional prospectivity of the project.\" Stated CEO, Dustin Perry.Vice President of Exploration Gayle Febbo comments \"The 2020 exploration program at the Cloud Drifter Trend confirmed and enhanced the historic data acquired from 1987-88. Sampling and mapping outlined a 3km-long strong multi-element anomaly coincident with quartz-sulphide veins in outcrop. Detailed geological mapping outlined a robust, structurally controlled gold vein system with domains of high-density quartz-sulphide veins spatially associated with the strongest gold-in-soil anomalies. The Cloud Drifter Trend represents a potentially world-class drill target within an underexplored orogenic gold belt.\"The Goldrange Project covers a si...
