Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 7, 2024) - Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF) ("Kingsmen" or the "Company") is pleased to report high-grade multi-element analyses from the 2.5 km long Silvia - La Plata (SLP) trend on the 100% owned Las Coloradas project, is in the Parral mining district of the Central Mexican Silver Belt, Chihuahua Mexico. The trend as currently recognized, comprises two areas referred to as the Silvia Trend and La Plata Zone. Results are presented in Figure 1 and Table 1.
Highlights
Seventy-two samples were analyzed.
1 > 500 g/t silver-equivalent (AgEq)
6 > 200 g/t AgEq
6 > 100 g/t AgEq
6 > 0.54 g/t gold
The Silvia zone is located at the intersection of the NE-oriented Silvia - La Plata (SLP) trend and the NW-oriented Soledad/Soledad II structures/vein systems. The La Plata zone contains numerous high-grade AgEq samples and NE, NW and N-trending structures/veins are recognized. N-trending structures/vein systems are unusual in the project area. Of immediate interest is a broadly N-trending intrusive body with AgEq values ranging from 8 to 303g/t AgEq (Figure 1). The curvilinear aspect of this and nearby intrusives may be reflecting a buried quartz porphyry (QP) intruding the volcanic country rock that is generating the mineralization.
The La Plata and Silvia zones contain pathfinder element concentrations in variable combinations including Au, As, Sb, Pb, Zn, Cu, Hg, Mo, Te and Tl. The different combinations of pathfinder elements likely represent different stages or pulses of mineralization. Their distributions provide evidence for district-wide, structurally controlled mineralization.
The Las Coloradas project area is situated on the southeast flank of a prominent aeromagnetic high interpreted to be a buried felsic intrusive body. The felsic intrusives associated with the La Plata and Silvia zones, the Soledad and Soledad II structures and other structures are likely linked to this body. The setting is favourable for porphyry, skarn and epithermal vein mineralization.
Scott Emerson, President, commented: "The presence of high-grade samples hosted in intrusive, volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the La Plata - Silvia zones confirm these are highly prospective area and targets for further exploration to identify drill targets."

Table 1
The silver equivalent calculation utilizes the standard equation and is based on current spot metal prices of silver $25/oz, gold $2163/oz, copper $4.04/lb, lead $$0.98/lb and zinc $1.16/lb. Recoveries are set at 100% for all metals for purposes of the silver equivalent calculation as no metallurgical test data is available. AgEq is used for illustrative purposes only and does not imply that the metals are economically recoverable.
QA/QC Program
All samples were analyzed by ALS Global in Chihuahua, Mexico, an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 certified laboratory. Multi-element analysis was by ICP-MS (51 elements). Over grade Ag, Au, Pb and Zn were assayed. All samples were analyzed for gold by Fire Assay Fusion-AA finish.
About Las Coloradas
The 100% owned Las Coloradas Project (8.5 km2 -3.3 sq miles) represents a consolidation of a historic mining district which covers numerous silver-gold-lead-zinc-copper mines previously exploited by ASARCO (American Smelting and Refining Company), the U.S. based subsidiary of Grupo Mexico.
Las Coloradas is in the Parral mining district of the Central Mexican Silver Belt, and is located approximately 30 kilometers southeast of the city of Hidalgo de Parral and 40 kilometers east of the San Francisco de Oro and Santa Barbara mining districts where several operating mines are located, such as La Prieta, Veta Colorada, Palmilla, Esmeralda, San Francisco del Oro and Santa Barbara. As well, new major mining projects are currently being explored in the district; Cordero (Discovery Silver Corp.), 35 kms north of Parral, and La Cigarra (Kootenay Silver Inc.), 35 kms northwest of Parral.
