This video is sponsored by Terrahutton, who makes the invisible, investible. Today, we're going to CEO BBQ, gold and copper exploration in the Golden Triangle of BC, together with Kingfisher Metals.

Now, although this company has paid us for the production of this video, you should still understand that we are not financial advisors, and this is not intended as financial advice. It is a broad, general, and in-personal piece of information intended only for those who know and understand the risks of junior mining, of which there are many. Before moving on, read the company's official filings on Sitterplus.ca and do your own due diligence. Pause the screen and read all the disclaimers I've shown you because your capital is at risk. If this isn't clear, go to the last section of this video for a longer explanation of the risks and biases, and do not consume this content if you don't agree with everything said therein. Moving on, this is not Kingfisher's first time on the CEO BBQ. Dustin has been on almost as often as I have. I even went to his site to look at what they were up to at Highway 37 last year. If it's your first time hearing about the company, I'm going to post a link containing a playlist with all the previous interviews as well as that site visit. Please watch those first. They contain the smell test, the basic grilling and all that. We're not going to repeat all that in here today.
I might be a little bit biased, but that site visit video is pretty good. Go and watch that if you haven't. In a nutshell, though, Kingfisher has a 900 square kilometer land package in the Golden Triangle with potential for multiple different types of deposits from a pore-free through an epithermal precious metal system to a VMS. Although it is that pore-free potential that is the focus of the currently ongoing 15,000 meter drill program, with additional work at the shallow epithermal gold and silver mineralized zones as well, as some new targets that we'll talk about in here. The program they're doing right now is going to have three rigs on site. Two of them have already arrived. And the first thing they're currently following up on is that hole 11 from last year in the pore-free zone, which again, Dustin and I did a wink, wink, a deep dive on it. But the goal will be to extend what they had before, which was 425 meters of 0.4% copper equivalent beyond that 960 meter mark. As the hole actually bottomed out in mineralization, increasing grades actually as well as potassium mineralization was becoming more obvious at that depth. So they're following up on that. We'll talk about it later on today. What exactly is going on? How's everything else at Highway 37? And well, I guess I'm going to have to come up with a few more questions outside of that to fill the next hour, but I'll do my best, which probably means it's a good idea for me to shut up already. And Dustin, I'll let you do the talking. But first of all, thank you for sitting down with me today.

**Dustin Perry** (2:49)
Yeah, great to be back, Antonia.

**Antonia** (2:52)
Pleasure is mine. And you and I have spoken a lot in between, haven't really done an interview, I think, in about two months. So maybe sum it up for me. What have you done for me since we last did an interview?

**Dustin Perry** (3:04)
Yeah, I don't remember the exact date, but what have we done? So we've provided updates on our program, so kind of released a bit more information, strengthening our hypothesis for there being a potentially prolific district on our ground, and we've started our program. So we announced our program, we've started it. The second drill arrived on-site last night, it's being flown on to a pad today.
The first drill that started, I guess on the weekend, and that drill, it hasn't been coring yet. It should, I think last night, was probably producing the first core. So that first drill was re-entering the Discovery Hole, Hole 11 from last year.
Re-entering a hole always had some hiccups. I wouldn't even say hiccups, it's not like you just drop the core tube down. You got to ream down basically, cleaning out, pull back, flush water down and clean out the hole. So it's been a decent amount of time here. So six days or so to get down, get a drill through a plug because we plugged the hole before because it was making a bit of water. But as of the end of the day yesterday, they were at 950 meters, I believe, and the hole goes to 959 So I would expect after this call, I'll get an update with what we're seeing with the first drill core of the program.
