[{"type":"text","content":"Kingfisher Provides Update on Diamond Drilling and Regional Exploration at the Goldrange ProjectVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 9, 2021 / Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR)(FSE:970) (\"Kingfisher\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on diamond drilling and regional exploration at the Goldrange Project as the Company awaits analytical results. Goldrange is located approximately 25 km south of the town of Tatla Lake in Southwest British Columbia.The maiden diamond drill program consists of approximately 5,000 m over ~15 holes. Diamond drilling is testing the Cloud Drifter Trend which is defined by a 3 km long gold-in-soil anomaly including 50 samples over 1 g/t Au and rock samples grading up to 128.9 g/t Au. Outside of the Cloud Drifter Trend, regional exploration consisting of rock, stream, and soil sampling is being completed across the 367 km2 project. To date, 4 drill holes have been completed totalling 1,258 m.HighlightsDrilling has encountered widespread zones of quartz-carbonate-sulfide veins, quartz-carbonate-sulfide breccias, and disseminated sulfides within all drill holes completed to date.Sulfide mineralogy includes arsenopyrite, pyrite, marcasite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, boulangerite, stibnite, tennantite-tetrahedrite, and molybdenite.Ongoing regional exploration has collected 2,365 soil samples and 217 rock samples across the tenure with multiple arsenic anomalies identified.Dustin Perry, CEO of Kingfisher states \"Drilling to date has furthered our belief that the Cloud Drifter Trend may host a significant hydrothermal vein system. All drill holes completed to date have intersected widespread quartz-carbonate-sulfide veins, breccias and disseminated sulfides over 300 m of strike and ~430 m of vertical extent. Diamond drilling has collaborated the styles of mineralization and alteration identified on surface in 2020. Outside of the Cloud Drifter Trend, regional grassroots exploration has been moving at an efficient pace and has outlined several areas of arsenic anomalism in soils identified with a portable XRF. Initial prospecting has identified quartz-sulfide veins at several of these locations.\"The Goldrange Project covers a significant deformation zone with numerous precious metal veins across the project. Mineralization at Goldrange occurs within the orogenic Yalakom Gold Belt,...
