The KE Report

Dustin Perry, Founder and CEO of Kingfisher Metals Corp. (TSXV:KFR) (OTCQB:KGFMF) (FSE:970), joins me to outline the news out today announcing that it has entered into an agreement with Barrick Mining Corporation; whereby Barrick has agreed to purchase 15,470,934 units of Kingfisher in a non-brokered private placement at a price of C$1.35 per Unit for gross proceeds of C$20,885,761.

 

Each Unit consists of one common share of Kingfisher and 0.5 of a common share purchase warrant. Each Warrant will have a term of two years and each whole Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Kingfisher Share for a price of C$1.70 per Kingfisher Share. 

The Placement will result in Barrick owning approximately 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Kingfisher Shares on a non-diluted post-transaction basis and 14.1% of the outstanding Kingfisher Shares on a partially diluted post-transaction basis, assuming exercise of all Warrants. 

The Company has agreed to use at least 80% of the proceeds from the Placement for exploration and development of the HWY 37 Project, located in the Golden Triangle, British Columbia; with the balance for general working capital and other purposes. 

Closing of the Placement is expected to occur on or before July 27, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

 

Dustin highlights the benefit of having some of the top-tier Barrick geologists to share ideas with their solid exploration team moving forward; and reiterated their technical bench-strength and the systematic approach that their team was already taking.  The company already commenced a fully-funded 15,000 metre drill program earlier this month; and has 3 drill rigs currently turning in a three-pronged approach to various copper-gold porphyry and epithermal targets throughout the Hank-Mary district of the Hwy 37 Project.

Expanding Beyond the Main Pit: How current reverse circulation (RC) drilling is pushing mineralization to the east and north, unlocking new exploration potential.

Testing Deep CRD Potential: Insights into the core drilling program, downhole geophysics, and what early observations reveal about deeper mineralized systems.

Timeline to Maiden Resource Estimate: An update on total meterage completed, improved lab turnarounds, and the expected target date for the initial MRE.
