Australian Securities Exchange Announcement

7/8/2020

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

King River Resources Ltd (ASX:KRR) is pleased to announce a 2,000m RC drill programme will commence on Monday 10 August 2020, testing for high-grade gold mineralization at its Tennant Creek project, after delays caused by the Covid 19 pandemic restrictions.

The drilling will follow-up on very encouraging geophysical results returned from 2019 geophysical surveys (ground magnetics and gravity) shown in Figures 1 and 2 (see KRR ASX announcements 10/1/20 and 16/7/20). KRR will also commence reconnaissance exploration and geophysical surveys (ground and airborne) in the coming weeks to progress other priority targets for drilling.

Drill Programme Commencing - EL31619

Drilling at the Lone Star area will target 3 main coincident gravity and magnetic trends. The strength of the magnetic and gravity anomalism of these targets is comparable to other known Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposits in the area. Of note Emmerson Resources Mauretania deposit is only 700m from the western boundary of KRR's tenement where 20m @ 38.5g/t Au was returned in a diamond drill hole last year (Emmerson Resources ASX announcement 4/7/19). This and other nearby deposits follow NW-SE and EW trends that can be seen in the geophysical results.

Drilling will then move to the Commitment Prospect where a large coincident magnetic and gravity anomaly follows a NW/SE trend. Drilling will target the main magnetic body as well as a strong gravity anomaly slightly offset from the main magnetic body possibly representing a hematite rich zone.

Other Tennant Creek Exploration Plans

The company's wholly owned subsidiary Treasure Creek Pty Ltd holds 7,900km2 in 16 tenements (14 granted and 2 applications) in the Tennant Creek Region around the Tennant Creek, Rover and Kurundi Gold fields, covering 4 main project areas: Tennant Creek East, Tennant East/Barkley, Rover East and Kurundi (Figure 3, Table 1).

applications.

The Tennant Creek and Rover gold fields are host to high-grade IOCG deposits with over 5.5M ozs Au mined from Tennant Creek and a resource of 1.2M oz Au estimated in 2010 at Rover 1 (Westgold Resources 23/2/10 ASX release). The Treasure Creek holdings cover areas along strike of both the Tennant Creek and Rover Gold Fields areas of similar stratigraphic and structural settings. Past exploration in these areas has been brief, sporadic and disjointed, with many areas under shallow Cambrian cover preventing discovery by historic explorers. The company believes that, with the application of systematic exploration and new/advanced geophysical techniques, significant gold discovery could be made.

Exploration is targeting IOCG style mineralization (IOCG) characterized by gold and copper mineralization associated with ironstone bodies, likely of the Tennant Creek Style. These ironstone bodies have varying degrees of hematite and magnetite often forming discrete geophysical targets and may be characterised by the bonanza gold intersections seen elsewhere at Tennant Creek.

`

In addition to the current drill programme, exploration planned for 2020 will also include reconnaissance of the Tennant Creek East area which is immediately adjacent to the Metallic Hill, Blue Moon, Lady May, and Gigantic historic IOCG gold mines (all between 200-800m of the tenement boundary). The best of the known magnetic anomalies and reconnaissance discoveries in this area will be tested with ground magnetics/gravity surveys this year.

In the Tennant East/Barkley area KRR has been awarded a grant for funding under Round 13 of the Geophysics and Drilling collaborations program administered by the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS). The co-funded programme (50% of survey costs) includes a ground geophysical and a detailed airborne magnetics survey over EL31633 and a ground geophysical survey over EL31634 to test and define significant magnetic anomalies and depth of cover in a previously unexplored area.

Initial reconnaissance exploration is also planned for KRR's Kurundi Project where KRR has 4 exploration licences (2 granted) over part of the Kurundi Anticline and covers the Kurundi historic gold mine (historic underground and open pit mining where previous exploration rock chip sampling returned gold results over 5g/t Au and copper values up to 9.7% Cu) and the Whistle Duck prospect where previous exploration reported gold results up to 13g/t Au and copper values up to 5% Cu in rock chip sampling.

Proposed 2020 exploration at Tennant Creek is summarized below:

  • RC drill programme at Lonestar Trend, Commitment and BIF Hill.
  • Reconnaissance exploration of Tennant Creek East.
  • Ground magnetic surveys at Tennant Creek East best air magnetics and reconnaissance anomalies.
  • Airborne magnetics and ground geophysical surveys at Tennant East/Barkley -EL31633 and EL31634.
  • Reconnaissance exploration at Kurundi.
  • Follow-updrilling of best results from 2020 exploration.

Historical exploration around the main Tenant Creek Gold Field primarily included work by

parties

Giants Reef, Peko, Posiedon, Roebuck, Normandy (later Newmont) and Tennant Creek Gold.

Exploration was primarily based on geophysical surveys targeting coincident gravity and ground

magnetic anomalies, followed by RC or diamond drilling. Lines of RAB or Aircore holes were

also drilled where specific geophysical models were not present. Currently the bulk of the

Tennant Creek mineral field is held by Emmerson Resources. Treasure Creeks tenements are

outside of the main gold field (except ELA31619) extending from Tennant Creek to Hatches

Creek gold fields. Historic exploration over the applications east of the Stuart highway has been

sparse and sporadic, with companies including Giants Reef, Normandy, Newmont doing

minimal, if any, on ground work (on ground work included a few very broad spaced RAB lines).

In the early to mid-2000's Arafura completed some broad spaced soil samples but relinquished

the ground without pursuing any anomalies that were discovered. Tenements west of the

highway cover ground that was involved in exploration around the Rover Gold Field, including

companies such as Geopeko, Giants Reef, Newmont, Western Desert Resources and Tennant

Creek Gold. Exploration included magnetic and gravity surveys, geophysical analysis, targeted

RC and diamond drilling. The tenements in this area cover significant IOCG targets generated

from this work. EL31617 covers ground held by Tennant Creek Gold/Western Desert Resources

as part of their Rover Exploration Project which they relinquished in 2014 in favour of their

developing iron ore projects. Rock chip sample results referred to at Kurundi and Whistle Duck

were taken were taken by various companies in the 1960's.
