VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 12, 2021 / Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:KGS) (FSE:47A1) ("Kingman" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company completed MH-03 which was drilled at a -60° angle and reached a depth of 346 feet (105.5 m). It passed through 272 ft (82.9 m) of the quartz diorite gneiss, which is the "country rock" in this region. It then entered a short 2 ft zone with sulfide stringers before entering a void. The void is presumed to be some of the old mine workings in the Rosebud Mine that were not shown on the historic maps or cross sections. The drillers were able to continue the core hole on the other side of the void and drilled 37 ft (11.3 m) of the rhyolite dike. The hole then encountered altered rhyolite and diorite for 9 ft (2.7 m) from 315 to 324 ft. This altered zone is believed to be the second (West) vein described in historic reports.

The rock types, structure and alteration patterns seen in MH-03 correspond well with those detailed in previous drilling reports and underground maps. MH-03 continues to confirm historic descriptions of two vein structures separated by a rhyolite dike.

"The presence of the veins at their projected locations is incredibly encouraging. To date, using the prior information available, (while historic in nature), together with information from our previous programs, we have been very successful in hitting our targets which favourably suggests that the historic information that we have is accurate. Kingman has a lot to look forward to" commented Sandy MacDougall, Chairman and Director.
Samples will be sent to Skyline Assayers & Laboratories of Tucson, Arizona on a rush basis for gold and silver analysis.
