Kingston Resources Limited (ASX: KSN) (‘Kingston’ or ‘The Company’) is pleased to announce the
appointment of Argonaut PCF Limited (“Argonaut”) as exclusive financial adviser to lead and manage a
formal strategic process in respect of the Misima Gold Project (“Misima”).
Argonaut’s appointment will focus on maximising shareholder value for Kingston’s 100% interest in Misima.
Kingston has invested A$45m in Misima to date. In 2022, a DFS was completed that demonstrated the
potential for Misima to produce an average of 130kozpa over a 20-year mine life with substantial additional
exploration upside. The 2022 DFS used a US$1,800/oz long term gold price which is well under the current
spot gold price of US$2,600/oz.
Kingston is proud to be working with Argonaut, given their strong history of successful transactions in the
APAC region, particularly within the gold sector of PNG. Argonaut’s reputation is well regarded among major
international gold and natural resource companies and their team has strong commercial and technical
expertise in managing corporate and asset level transactions.
Kingston Resources Managing Director & CEO, Andrew Corbett, comments:
"Misima is a huge opportunity for all Kingston stakeholders and provides material leverage to the current gold
price. The company has already built a strong platform for growth in NSW with production at Mineral Hill.
The Kingston Board, in consultation with Argonaut, is now aiming to crystallise the deep value the Company
has built at Misima during our ownership. The timing is right to accelerate development plans and return
Misima to the successful production it had in the past.”
