Kingman Minerals (TSX-V:KGS) has engaged Burgex Mining Consultants to conduct underground sampling and technical reassessment at its historical Rosebud Gold-Silver Mine in Arizona.
The program aims to document underground geometry and collect material for metallurgical testing from accessible areas of the historical workings at the Mohave Project site.
Interim CEO Simon Studer says the sampling will help clarify the mine’s historical development patterns.
“Recovering material from multiple underground exposures and submitting it to mineral processing and metallurgical testwork is one of the most direct ways to clarify what the historic workings reveal,” Studer says.
The campaign includes light detection and ranging (LiDAR) surveying to create a three-dimensional record of shafts, drifts and stopes, with work expected to begin at the 100-foot level from 11 March 2026.
Previous sampling by Burgex in 2020 returned results including 252 grams per tonne gold and 341g/t silver over 0.46m from the 100-foot level. Follow-up work at the 200-foot level yielded up to 688g/t gold and 468g/t silver over 0.18m.
The Rosebud Mine was discovered more than 140 years ago and operated intermittently through the late 1920s and early 1930s. Historical development included a 400-foot main shaft and approximately 2,500 feet of underground workings.
The company notes that historical sampling results should not be relied upon as representative of overall mineralisation or economic potential.
