JORC Code – Misima
The information in this report that relates to the reporting of the
Misima Mineral Resource Estimate is based on and fairly represents,
information and supporting documentation compiled by Mr. Stuart
Hayward (BAppSc (Geology)) MAIG ,who is a Member of the
Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr. Stuart Hayward is a full-time
employee of Kingston Resources Limited. Mr. Hayward has sufficient
experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit
under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to
qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the
‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr. Hayward confirms that the
information in the market announcement provided is an accurate
representation of the available data and studies for the material
mining project and consents to the inclusion in this report of the
matters based upon the information in the form and context in which
it appears. The Company confirms that the form and context in which
the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been
materially modified from the original report.
The Competent Person signing off on the overall Misima Ore
Reserves Estimate is Mr John Wyche BE (Min Hon), of Australian Mine
Design and Development Pty Ltd, who is a Fellow of the Australasian
Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and who has sufficient relevant
experience in operations and consulting for open pit metalliferous
mines. Mr. Wyche consents to the inclusion in this report of the
matters based upon the information in the form and context in which
it appears.

Regional Geology
Prospective regional setting
• Highly prospective region due to complex geological evolution.
• Multiple significant epithermal and porphyry deposits in the region.
• Miocene - continued oblique convergence between the Australian and Pacific plates
causes the Solomon microplate to split from the Australian plate forming an extensional
basin (Woodlark Basin).

bathymetry and
regional tectonic
setting of New
Guinea and
Solomon Islands.

Al. 2016)
• Pliocene - Woodlark Rift propagates westwards + Mantle derived alkalic intrusive activity
• Early extension of Woodlark Basin – Boiou micro-granodiorite is emplaced at both Mt
Sisa and the Quartz Mountain / Ewatinona areas
• Metamorphism and silicification of the carbonate units (St Patrick’s Limestone-Halibu
or coarse sparry calcite) produced localised skarns

• Fault controlled hypogene gold-silver and base metal mineralisation @ 4 - 3.2 Ma
(Sericite- Ar-Ar and K-Ar) (Fanning, 1995, 1996)

• Gold-silver and base metal mineralisation in all lithological units and adjacent to Boiou
micro-granodiorite intrusive centers
• Extensive supergene enrichment (Manganese wad)
• Quaternary - rapid uplift with extension accommodated on Weipoou Creek Fault.

Prospective regional setting and project geology
• Eastern extension of the central mountain chain of the island of New Guinea
geological terrains to SE.
• Southern shoulder/rise of the Woodlark Basin.
• West Half: High grade metamorphic (core complex) Awaibi Association;
metamorphosed ophiolite sequence.
• Separated by the Weipoou Creek detachment (WCFZ).
• East Half: Upper-grade metamorphic greenschist facies rocks Cretaceous rocks of
the Sisa association.

lower Bulpat schist stratigraphy.
• Miocene Boiou microgranodiorite intruded as sills and dykes at two main centres
a Mt Sisa and Quartz Mountain.
• Gulewa Formation volcanics and associated sedimentary rocks that
unconformably overlie the Sisa association.

Mineral System Model
Proven mineral systems model guiding exploration
• Application of Mineral Systems Models important in deposit geology and modelling, and guiding
exploration.
• Major deposits and prospects in PNG associated with arc parallel and transfer structures.
Orientation dependent on regional tectonic architecture.
• Major structures localise intrusions and ores with mineralisation often within second order
structures.
• Hydrothermal fluids evolve during migration within major structures.
• Most epithermal mineralisation occurs as ore shoots in
• More dilational settings.
• Structural intersections as sites of fluid mixing.
• Reactivation of dilational settings provides multiple mineralisation events and higher Au grade.
• Structures allow evolved and near-surface waters to re-enter the hydrothermal system for mixing
reactions.
• Structures may offset ore post-mineralisation.
• Misima Mineral Systems Model
• Early porphyry style (skarns, Po style veins, K-alt).
• Overprinting Carbonate base metal Au mineralisation
• Uplift and erosion inferred (telescoping).
• All lithological units are potentially mineralised

Regional scale deposit controls evident on Misima
• Major deposits in PNG @ intersection of Arc parallel

• N-S trending structures not uncommon in the region as
inferred transfer structures linked to the Woodlark
Basin
• Opening of the Woodlark Basin inducing N-S
compression and subsequent dextral movement on
pre-existing structures at the time of mineralisation.
• Geochemical trends and mineralised centres at the
intersections and along deep seated structures & Link

Misima Geology and Structure
Substantial data sets supporting interpretation and targeting
• 30+ years of data.
• Well established geology foundation based on extensive
mapping and analysis.
• Surface geology generally reliable with local variation between
authors depending on scale.
• Geology by Benko (1994) used as regional scale underlay.
• The structure grain of Misima Island has been described and
interpreted in detail over time with framework reported by Esser
1996 being ratified by subsequent authors and KSN work.
• Logan (WCB) completed comprehensive compilations of most
primary target areas.
• Geophysics data sets reinforces the structure framework with
a complex interplay of WNW, NW, E-W and N-S trending
structures.
• Mineralised systems:
• Developed in close proximity to intersections of major
regional scale structures.
• On reactivated structures within the pre-existing
architecture.
• All lithologies are prospective with some requiring preparation
for brittle failure through alteration and veining.

Detailed studies focusing exploration targeting
• Au-Ag mineralisation is strongly structurally

• Classic geometries common within epithermal
systems.
• Dependent on regional and local stress
regimes.
• Complex structural evolution within a highly active
tectonic region during deposit formation.
(Cameron 2019 + MMPL)
• Periods of extension and compression.
• Multiple deformation events.
• Isoclinal folding of Sisa Assoc. during D1
(So//S1).
• Granitic Intrusions post D1 to Syn D2.
• D2 compression.
• D3 extension.
• Gold-silver mineralisation late – Post D2.
• Significant rotation of б1 = Structure

Umuna Fault Corridor
Mine scale data sets focusing exploration & Resource definition
• Compound structural corridor – prospective along entire 6km
strike length.
• Zone of brecciation, fracturing, & shearing.
• Interpreted west side down (pre mineralisation).
• Retains components of all the dominant structure trends
mapped across Misima.
• High-grade mineralisation at Umuna occurs within a ‘sea of low
grade’ in reactivated structures within the Umuna Fault Corridor.
• Later faulting has dismembered mineralisation.
• Soil geochemistry anomalism distribution is controlled by the
prevailing structure architecture.
• Misima Nth and Ewatinona can be interpreted as sitting on N-S
trending lineaments.
Principal structures of Umuna Corridor (Cameron 2019)
• Elements of Umuna East can also be interpreted as being
controlled by a parallel N-S trending lineament.
