FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KINGMAN EXAMINES INDICATORS FOR LARGER PORPHYRY SYSTEM &
LOOKS AHEAD TO PHASE II DRILLING PROGRAM
Vancouver, B.C. ( April 16, 2021) Kingman Minerals Ltd. (“Kingman” or the “Company”)
(TSX.V: KGS, FSE: 47A1) is pleased to announce the completion of the Phase I Drilling Program
and report the receipt of assays for borehole MH-05. The Phase I Drilling Program completed a
total 2552.5 feet (778 meters) of diamond core drilling which provides a fresh catalog of modern
drill core for data collection and a significant and increased understanding of the geological,
alteration, and structural controls at the Mohave Gold Project.
System Indicators & Exploration
Initially expected to exclusively occur as strongly oxidized veins along the upper and lower
contacts of the rhyolite intrusions, returned assay results from the Phase I Drilling Program have
definitively demonstrated that gold and silver concentrations are directly associated with one or a
combination of up to four key and readily observable geological indicators including:
• Overall proximity to rhyolite intrusions;
• Presence of iron-oxide mineralization;
• Relatively intense hydrothermal clay alteration;
• Presence of sulfide-bearing hydrothermal breccias;
“These findings coupled with the extent of hydrothermal alteration are very intriguing as these are
indicators we look for not only in epithermal gold environments but those of larger deposit
footprints such as porphyry base-metal systems which often exist in genetic relationship to vein
deposits such as those seen at the Mohave Gold Project.” commented Christopher Seligman,
B.Sc., MAusIMM CP(Geo), Senior Geologist with Dahrouge Geological Consulting USA Ltd. of
Denver, Colorado and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 who supervised
technical activities during the Phase I Drill Program.
Figure 1 – Porphyry-type mineral deposits are formed from large amounts of hot water sourced
that originates from large magma chambers in the Earth and are often related to numerous other
metal deposits and styles including epithermal gold-silver deposits.
With the Phase I Drilling Program completed, received assay results will continue to be validated
and incorporated into the geological and structural models for the Mohave Gold Project in support
of the planned resource estimate for the Mohave Gold Project. Additionally, the extensive amount
of diamond drilling data collected during the Phase I Drilling Program will also continue to be
incorporated into exploration models to guide the anticipated Phase II Drilling Program.
“The confirmation and verification of historically reported assay grades coupled with the latest
geological observations will be invaluable towards the update and refinement of the deposit model
in support of further exploration and delineation efforts,” commented Christopher Seligman.
The Phase I Drilling Program consisted of five confirmation drill holes to verify both the nature
and the grades of historic mineralization performed at the previously producing and property -
inclusive Rosebud Mine and will allow the Company to produce a current NI -43 101 technical
report and resource estimate for the mine area.
MH-05 Borehole Summary:
Borehole MH-05 was drilled at an angle of -60 degrees to horizontal to pass through the two target
mineralized veins and completed at a depth of 449.5 feet (137 meters) with the following
highlights:
• Collared into a broad zone of hydrothermal alteration consistent with epithermal deposits;
• Intersected continuous zone of strong iron -oxide from 380.5 – 394.5 feet (116 – 120
meters);
• Intersected hydrothermal sulfide-breccia from 394 – 395 feet (120 – 120.5 meters);
• Encountered impassable void at 449.5 feet (137 meters) before intersecting second target
vein;
“Although we were not able to intersect the second vein, the presence of the underground void
where it was located is encouraging as it is in line with where we projected the second ve in to
occur and suggests the likely previous presence of mineable mineralized material during the
Rosebud Mine operation,” commented Brad Peek, M.Sc. CPG and Qualified Person for the
Mohave Project.
MH-05 Assay Highlights:
• 6.0 g/t Au over 4 feet (1.2 meters) from 391-395 feet within diorite and diabase and
26.2 g/t Ag (1.6 feet true width);
• 23.3 g/t Au over 1 feet (0.3 meters) from 394-395 feet within diabase sulfide-breccia and
41.4 g/t Ag (0.4 feet true width);

Figure 2 – Summary of assay results from borehole MH-05
The highest assay results from borehole MH-05 were focused within the intersected hydrothermal
sulfide-breccia starting at 394 feet (120 meters) which was characterized by very little iron
oxidation which suggests that the sulfides are likely carrying the gold mineralization.

“These additional and final assay results are very compelling as we have now confirmed both the
target and grades for which the Rosebud Mine operated. We can now focus on these results and
latest observations to improve our geological context and exploration targeting to determine the
extent and potential of the Mohave Gold Project both laterally and at depth ,” commented Brad
Peek.
Analysis:
Samples were sent to Skyline Assayers & Laboratories located in Tucson, AZ on a rush basis for
gold and silver analysis which were completed using Skyline’s FA-1 method for gold (Fire Assay–
AA Geochem 5-5,000 ppb, 30g, with gravimetric finish for over -limits) and FA-8 for silver (Aqua
Regia/AA Geochem ).
