Announcement PDF ASX/Media Announcement 18 July 2023 New Drill Targets Identified at Mineral Hill IP Geophysics Survey identifies at least 15 new walk-up drill targets • A total of 15 new and exciting targets have been identified within and near the Mineral Hill Mining Lease (ML) package. • The interpretation and 3D modelling of the 28km Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical program southeast of the Mineral Hill Mine has been completed. • Mineralisation at Mineral Hill is directly associated with areas of high chargeability and changes in gravity response. • Kingston is focused on adding to the mineral inventory for the Mineral Hill processing plant and extending the LOM. • Seven holes for 1083 metres of the 10-hole program have been completed, with assay results pending. Kingston Resources Limited (ASX: KSN) (Kingston or the Company) is pleased to report that an updated Induced Polarisation (IP) and gravity geophysics interpretation has revealed new and highly prospective targets to the south of the Mineral Hill Mine. In February 2023, the company conducted 28-line kilometres of IP geophysics over this area, which identified new high-priority exploration targets.

ASX: KSN Shares on Issue: 468M Market Cap: A$37M Cash: A$11.5M (31 May 2023) 202/201 Miller Street, North Sydney, NSW 2060 +61 2 8021 7492 info@kingstonresources.com.au www.kingstonresources.com.au @KSNResources The new IP program expands coverage to the south-eastern edge of EL1999 and enhances the evidence already provided by gravity geophysics in this region. By utilising modern techniques and new exploration models, we have demonstrated that Mineral Hill is highly prospective both locally and regionally. Kingston’s exploration work has found that mineralisation at Mineral Hill is directly associated with coincident IP chargeability highs and changes in gravity anomalism, specifically from high to low gravity. This association provides a valuable exploration tool to refine target generation and maximise the success rate of exploration drilling. Kingston Resources Chief Geologist, Stuart Hayward, said: “We are excited about the current exploration program we have in place for Mineral Hill, which has the potential to lead to new discoveries. Our recent IP analysis has shown that there are areas within the mining and exploration leases that share a geophysical signature with existing deposits, including a correlation between gravity and IP. With these findings we are confident in our ability to derive new insights and deliver high quality results in the future. Kingston remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of exploration and harnessing the full potential of our exploration assets at Mineral Hill. We look forward to completing thisdrill testing phase as we continue to unlock the value within our extensive mineral resources, while continuing to create sustainable long-term value for our shareholders.” Background Gold and base metals (Cu-Pb-Zn) deposits in the Cobar basin are characterised by strong structural and lithological controls, as well as by high sulphide content, making target generation using multiple geophysical datasets a key foundation for exploration throughout the region. The Mineral Hill ML’s and EL1999 have excellent coverage of aerial magnetics and radiometrics, gravity, and multiple IP datasets (Figure 1). The broader regional EL8334 also has comprehensive aerial magnetics and regional-scale gravity data, along with two heli-geo TEM survey grids previously completed in 2010. Consolidation of the historical data in late 2022 confirmed the mineralised structures at Mineral Hill can be identified using multiple geophysical datasets. IP is a standout geophysical technique at Mineral Hill and within the Cobar Basin more generally. Almost all the mineralised zones at Mineral Hill display strong IP chargeability responses. Figure 2 shows the recent and historical IP survey areas. Figure 2: Overview of historical and recent IP geophysical surveys. www.kingstonresources.com.au 2 With the assistance of external consultants, Kingston undertook a review of historical geophysics datasets over Mineral Hill’s mining and exploration leases. The company identified 32 traverse lines of IP collected by Cyprus between 1969-1970, which were never processed or used for target generation. As the IP data was acquired well before commencement of modern mining practices at Mineral Hill, the potential of interference from newer infrastructure was limited. The 2023 IP data south of Mineral Hill mine has been added to a new 3D IP model that now includes all historical datasets and is, therefore, at a significantly higher resolution and broader coverage than previous IP models. The geophysical fingerprint of the existing Mineral Hill deposits has been confirmed with this analysis and this highlights the outstanding potential for new discoveries and extensions in the near-mine environment. Figure 3 shows the 15 near-mine targets that have been identified by consolidation work with exploration planning well advanced to test the targets. These reflect along strike or down-dip/plunge extensions, as well as potential offsets and replications of known mineralisation. Figure 3: Recently generated geophysical targets in the vicinity of the Mining Licences including 2023 IP targets to the south. Mineralisation is spatially associated with zones of strong IP chargeability, variable intensity IP resistivity, and gravity gradients. The geometry of these features can be complex, reflecting the structural complexity inherent in the Mineral Hill system. Other targets are interpreted to occur along a linear gravity margin extending to the south. www.kingstonresources.com.au 3 IP chargeability depth slices from the historical and new dataset show a series of short and long-range linear anomalies that are parallel to the predominant structural trends mapped in open pit and underground workings. Shallow anomalies are spatially associated with known mineralisation while the same anomalies appear to change in orientation to the west, potentially reflecting dipping and plunging mineralisation. An ongoing review of geophysical data over EL1999 and adjacent EL8334 is currently underway. Extending these known relationships into the broader region is revealing some promising areas of interest. Near term work program Kingston’s geology team has designed diamond and reverse circulation resource development drilling programs at Pearse North, SOZ, and reconnaissance testing of geophysical targets. These are shown in Figure 4 and listed in Table 1. A combination drill rig has been mobilised to drill test these targets with diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling. Seven holes for 1083 metres have been completed from a 10hole program within the Mining Lease area with results pending. Historical data compilation and review will continue to assess the targets for programs of work in FY24 and beyond. Figure 4: Location of proposed exploration holes within the Mining Lease. www.kingstonresources.com.au 4 Kingston is focused on adding to the mineral inventory for the Mineral Hill processing plant and extending the LOM. Organic resource growth within the approved tenements close to the processing plant is one of the key strategies to achieve this. Applying new interpretation techniques over new and historical data over Mineral Hill is demonstrating the high prospectivity of the mining and exploration tenements.

The Company’s objective is to establish itself as a midtier gold and base metals company with multiple producing assets. Misima Gold Project, PNG (100%) • • • • • DFS Validation: potential for a robust, scalable, and low-cost open pit operation. Production Potential: Anticipated gold production of ~2.4Moz over a 20-Year Mine Life (Avg. 128kozpa). Strong Financial Viability: Pre-Tax Net Present Value (NPV) of A$956 Million (based on a US$1,800/oz Gold Price). Gold Price Upside: Highly leveraged to the upside of the gold price, amplifying potential returns. Current Focus: Prioritising ESIA reports, strategic funding & development strategies. Mineral Hill Mine, NSW (100%) • • • • • Mine plan out to the end of 2027: Open pit and underground mining. Significant upside: Current life of mine only utilises 22% of the current 8.9Mt of Mineral Resources. Infrastructure excellence: Extensive existing infrastructure with all permits and approvals in place. Exploration potential: Exceptional upside within current Mining Leases (ML) and Exploration Licenses (EL). Current Focus: Maximising returns from Tailings Project gold production, proactive exploration drilling, and underground re-entry. Mineral Hill is a gold and copper mine located in the Cobar Basin of NSW. In June 2023, the company updated its life of mine plan, including both open pit and underground mining until 2027. The processing plant currently operates a CIL, and work is underway to recommission the existing crushing, grinding and flotation circuits for copper, lead and zinc concentrate production. In addition to current production, the company is focused on meeting near mine production targets located on the existing MLs. The aim is to extend the mine’s life through organic growth and consider regional deposits that could be processed at Mineral Hill’s processing plant. Misima hosts a JORC Resource of 3.8Moz Au and an Ore Reserve of 1.73Moz. Placer Pacific operated Misima as a profitable open pit mine between 1989 and 2001, producing over 3.7Moz before it was closed when the gold price was below US$300/oz. The Misima Project also offers great potential for additional resource growth through exploration success targeting extensions and additions to the current Resource base.

Sample volume is maximised during drilling by ensuring the drill hole is only advanced when the air/material flow is dry, and a slight pause at the end of each meter to allow material to clear the anulus and inner tubes. Sample quality was monitored by the onsite geologist and recovery noted. Significant groundwater caused early termination of 2 drill holes (KSNRC024, KSNRC026). Impact of water on sampling and subsequent results has not been assessed as yet as not analytical data has been received. Sampling methodology for the duration of the program was consistent. Overall high drill sample recoveries and consistent sample weights limit the potential to introduce sample bias. No assays are being reported to assess potential sample bias associated with drill sample recovery. • A qualified geologist logs all RC holes with lithology, alteration, and mineralisation recorded based on visual assessment and estimation. • Logging is principally qualitative in nature. • 7 drill holes for 1083 metres of RC drilling have been logged and sampled. • RC drill holes are sampled on 1 metre intervals. • RC samples are collected directly from the rig cyclone that has a cone splitter attached. An approx. 1-2kg sample is collected directly into a numbered calico bag with a 1:20 field duplicate collected at the drill rig. No sub sampling was done with RC samples. • Routine QAQC was used in the sampling process. Blank material was introduced at 1:20.

Gold analysis is determined by fire assay (FA) by using lead collection technique with a 50g sample charge weight and AAS instrument finish. Gold by Fire Assay (FA) is considered a “complete or total” method for total recovery of gold in sample. A multi (42) element suit was used for full geochemical coverage. This was a 4 Acid Digest with an ICP-OES finish. The 4 Acid digest is a total method. Historically Aqua Regia has been used at Mineral Hill. Kingston has decided to use the more robust 4 acid digest for its drilling programs. The sample 0.2g (df=500) is digested with nitric, hydrochloric, hydrofluoric and perchloric acids to effect as near to total solubility of the sample as possible. With most silicate based material, solubility is to all intents and purposes complete, however, elements such as Cr, Sn, W, Zr, and in some cases Ba, may prove difficult to bring into solution. This digest is in general unsuited to dissolution of chromite, titaniferous material, barite, cassiterite, and zircon. In sulphidic samples, some of the sulphur may be lost (as H2S) or is partially converted to insoluble elemental sulphur. Antimony can also partly be lost as volatiles under this digest. Some minerals may dissolve, or partly dissolve and precipitate the element of interest. Examples are silver, lead in the presence of sulphur/sulphate, barium in the presence of sulphur/sulphate , Sn, Zr, Ta, Nb through hydrolysis. KSN utilised QAQC in the form of standards, blanks and duplicates in the diamond drilling program at Pearse North. If a 3SD exceedance of Au or Base Metal (Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn) sample was detected, the laboratory was contacted to reassay the CRM and adjacent samples. There were no QAQC fails in the Pearse North data set.. Internal laboratory QAQC is analysed and reviewed in addition to the Company QAQC. No significant intercepts are being reported in this release. Primary data was collected into an excel logging template.
