Kingston Accelerates Mineral Hill Growth: Largest
Exploration Program in Decades
Highlights:
•
Sale of the Misima Gold Project positions Kingston with financial strength to accelerate growth at
Mineral Hill.
•
New leadership appointments to sharpen site-level focus on growth and development.
•
Aggressive resource growth strategy to expand ore feed, increase processing rates, and
maximise operating cash flow.
•
Fast-tracked underground mining now scheduled to commence in the December quarter of
2025.
•
Largest exploration program in decades at Mineral Hill: up to 40,000m of drilling over two
years, plus tenement-wide geophysics and geochemistry surveys.
•
Expanded growth pipeline includes assessment of regional third-party ore feed and potential
mill expansion to unlock latent processing plant value.
Kingston Resources Limited (ASX: KSN) (‘Kingston’ or ‘The Company’) is pleased to announce a
comprehensive strategy to expand available ore feed, increase the processing rates, and maximise operating
cash flow at Mineral Hill. One of the key components of this plan is an extensive exploration program targeting
discoveries along both the Mineral Hill trend and the Gilmore Suture Zone.
Following the receipt of the initial $50M from the sale of the Misima Gold Project, Kingston is prioritising
investment in copper and gold growth in Australia. The planned exploration investment far exceeds any
investment made at Mineral Hill in decades. In parallel, the Company is implementing key management
changes at the site level to sharpen focus on growth and development projects.
While Mineral Hill currently has a life of mine scheduled out to 20301 based on the existing resource base,
Kingston aims to increase scale by pursuing numerous growth strategies:
•
•
•
Substantial investment in exploration drilling for both near mine and regional targets.
Mining studies to add existing brownfields resources into the mine plan.
Acquisition/toll treatment/joint ventures with existing regional resources to truck to Mineral Hill.
These strategies are aimed at enabling a staged mill expansion and maximising cash flow. The Mineral Hill
processing plant is already permitted to process up to 700ktpa of ore feed, which exceeds current forecast

Kingston has completed a comprehensive review of the Mineral Hill and Cobar Basin resource development
opportunities to identify high-priority exploration programs and economic studies. Geological and
metallurgical studies are currently being completed for the Southern Ore Zone (SOZ) and Parker’s Hill with
the aim of optimising and expanding ore feed. Underground drilling will expand its focus from the near-term
stope production areas at SOZ to include areas with high potential for discovery and resource extension.
The current resource for Parker’s Hill is comprised of the underground sulphide component of the
mineralisation. The updated resource aims to include near-surface (oxide and sulphide) resources, allowing
for an economic study to consider open pit vs underground extraction.
Kingston expects these programs to generate significant momentum in resource growth over the coming
months.
Kingston Resources Managing Director & CEO, Andrew Corbett, comments:
"The completion of the Misima transaction positions Kingston in an entirely new light as a gold and copper
producer. The $50M cash inflow provides immense firepower to grow the value of Mineral Hill and explore
growth opportunities across eastern Australia. Our investment has previously focused on mining and
processing infrastructure, cementing Mineral Hill’s long-term production. Now we can make Mineral Hill an
even bigger growth engine for Kingston shareholders and the central west communities of NSW”
“We believe the Mineral Hill trend is long overdue for discoveries of additional copper, gold and base metal
deposits. The existing deposits and exploration success of our neighbours demonstrate the area’s metal
endowment, and strong indications of mineralisation exist along the entire length of our tenure. Additional
latent value can be materialised by maximising the capacity and utilisation of our processing plant- a major
value driver for the company”
We continue to invest in our team and build Kingston’s owner operator capabilities The current open pit mining,
processing and tailings construction teams are all Kingston employee’s. As we commence underground
mining, our priority is to hire experienced and local underground miners who can live within our local
community, while also training our existing team to operate underground.

“We’re broadening our exploration strategy to not only target in-mine extensions, but also pursue regional
opportunities we have previously identified, but couldn’t prioritise until now. It’s very exciting to systematically
target these prospects, particularly when we’re seeing strong upward momentum in the copper and gold price”
Senior Management Appointments
Kingston’s growth strategy focusses on expanding the inventory of minable material to support processing
plant capacity expansion. The growth projects required to achieve this will involve an intensive process
starting with drilling and resource work, all the way through to comprehensive economic studies and detailed
due diligence. To deliver on these commitments, Mineral Hill General Manager, Geoff Merrell will be moving
into the new role of General Manager NSW Growth to dedicate the necessary effort required to move these
opportunities forward.
Melanie McCarthy has been appointed as the new General Manager at Mineral Hill. She brings extensive
experience in the mining industry, most recently serving as General Manager with Mandalay Resources at
the Costerfield underground gold and antimony mine in central Victoria. Melanie is also an accomplished
consultant and leadership mentor. She began her career in mineral processing after completing a Chemical
Engineering degree before studying Mining Engineering and obtaining her First-class Mine Managers
certificate of competence.
Commenting on these changes, Andrew Corbett emphasises:
“Geoff has been instrumental in leading Mineral Hill and advancing the project to where it is today. Over the
past decade, Geoff’s commitment to the mine, local community and the hard-working team at Mineral Hill has
been exceptional. In addition to retaining Geoff’s knowledge and expertise in the region, Melanie brings a
fresh prospective to how we work and operate at Mineral Hill. Melanie’s focus will be on driving the potential
of the asset to the next level, providing clear leadership, direction and empowering the site team. Since
purchasing Mineral Hill, the site team has grown from 40 to over 120 today. Empowering these 120 people
to deliver our growth strategy will be a key driver for Melaine. It is my personal view that the market continues
to underestimate the potential of Mineral Hill. The combined efforts from Geoff and Melanie will allow Kingston
to unlock this potential.”
Near Mine Underground Extension Drilling
Following completion of the current open pit mining program, mining production will focus on underground
polymetallic ore. This planned underground development is now scheduled to begin in the December quarter
this year.
Abundant opportunities exist to extend the Mineral Resources in all the known deposits. Kingston has outlined
a long-term underground drilling campaign to be conducted over the next two years. This includes 17km of
resource development and grade control diamond drilling.
Key resource development targets include:

Figure 2: Isometric view of planned Mineral Hill underground extension drilling (planned drilling in black).
Underground drilling in recent months has aimed at infilling the copper/gold dominant G and H lodes and the
polymetallic A Lode of the SOZ, all of which remain open to the north, south and at depth. Numerous drill
holes are designed to test extension potential of this mineralisation with the view of adding high-grade copper
and gold feed for the LOM plan. The mine plan already has numerous polymetallic stopes planned for these
zones, opening the way for potential accretive discoveries. Additionally, the discovery intersection in the
footwall of the SOZ needs to be drilled (see ASX announcement on 1 November 2023). This mineralisation
has the potential to lead to the discovery of a completely new package of stacked lodes plunging down-dip
and to the south.

Exploration in EL1999
Bogong is a high priority target intended to be drill tested in the December quarter 2025. Results from multiple
exploration tools indicate strong potential for mineralisation at depth. Surface geochemistry is typified by lead
anomalism in soils along with adjacent Induced Polarisation (IP) and gravity anomalies. Additionally, magnetic
highs at depth extending from the IP anomalies near surface remain to be tested.
Historical drilling over the southern portion of Bogong extends to 250m and has already intersected
anomalous copper. The target remains open in all directions as drilling has not previously tested the full extent
of the IP chargeability or geochemistry anomaly (see page 40 of ASX announcement on 28 July 2023) to the
east. The initial phase of drilling will test the near surface IP anomalies over the northern part of the prospect.
RC drilling is expected to be followed up with downhole electromagnetic geophysical tools .
700m

line shown in red.
There are similarities in the profile of magnetic highs and coincident IP chargeability anomalies between
Bogong and Mineral Hill. At both locations, magnetic highs plunge in opposite directions from the near-surface
IP chargeability highs. An additional phase of drilling may be undertaken to test the deeper targets.
2 pXRF values are used as a relative measure in locating the peak of an anomaly, and the absolute magnitude of the results
may not reflect the strength of the underlying mineralisation.

The Return to Regional Exploration
Kingston’s Exploration Geology team have re-initiated exploration activities over EL1999 and EL8334. The
two tenements capture a 335 km2 region of highly prospective geology that is known to host polymetallic
deposits nearby and elsewhere in the Cobar district. Over 40-line km of lead in soil anomalies and coincident
IP geophysical anomalies provide a focus for early exploration programs.
Historically, exploration tools that have led to discoveries in the Cobar Basin include geological mapping, soil
sampling, and induced polarisation (IP), gravity and magnetics geophysical surveys. All these tools are
planned to be used over EL8334 targets including Clayton’s Dam, Long Panel, Majuba, China Workings,
Walker’s Hill, Yellow Mountain and Yellow Mountain North.

Long Panel and Majuba (EL8334)
Geophysical data captured historically over Long Panel has been re-processed to generate drill targets. Of
particular interest is the coincidence of a 4km long IP chargeability high with a gravity high and magnetic
embayment. Historic drilling at Long Panel returned highly significant assay results for copper, lead, zinc and
silver.
Majuba is a similar target situated to the south of Long Panel. A similar work program is expected at Majuba
to target lead-zinc-copper mineralisation.

Walker’s Hill (EL8334)
Extensive exploration work is planned for the Walker’s Hill target, which sits on a 4km magnetic high anomaly.
Historic work has included rock chip sampling as well as diamond and RC drilling. The result from this
campaign returned anomalous copper, gold, silver and bismuth. A revised understanding of the geology
indicated the historical drilling angle was sub-optimal and so the opportunity remains to discover a large-scale
copper/gold deposit.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Sampling techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate calibration
of any measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
Commentary
Historical Soil Data
• Historical soil geochemistry is sourced in the first instance for the publicly
available NSW Minview Data portal.
• Soil geochemistry collected by Triako and KBL in 1999-2000 over EL1999
and ML areas displays patterns (such as along line anomalies) suggestive
of a poor-quality survey. Hence, the need to reacquire at least a relative
data set to highlight and filter real form spurious anomalies in that data set
(see pXRF Soil Geochemistry).
pXRF Soil Geochemistry
• pXRF data is only used in a relative, qualitative manner to identify the peak
of potential anomalies.
• pXRF data is presented as relative intensity and is used as a tool to identify
the locus/peak of potential anomalies.
• pXRF geochemistry is collected using a handheld Olympus VANTA M
Series analyser using a rhodium (Rh) anode 50 kV X-ray tube and a large
area SSD (Silicone Drift Detector).
• Software version used by the p-XRF instrument. Olympus Software v
3.44.146; OS 2024-08-09.1; OS Patch 96; XRF Engine Firmware 1.40.9;
XRF Engine FPGA 4.0.112; Docking station 1.0.2
• Analysis for samples inclusive of Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, S, P, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe,

Sn, Sb, La, Ce, Nd, Pr, Ba.
• pXRF Sample Methodology
o Organic matter and surface deposits are removed using field tools.
o The pXRF instrument is placed in the depression in direct contact
with the substrate, and the x-ray beam activated in soil mode, 3
filter, 15 seconds per filter.
o A single determination is made at each location with data stored
internally in the instrument.
o Data is exported and collated in a single MS Excel workbook
