Kingston Managing Director, Andrew Corbett, said:
“We have had an excellent start to our drilling program in the September quarter
commencing with multiple high-grade results from SOZ and Red Terror. Then the drill
rig moved to the northern end of SOZ where we extended the high-grade copper-gold
part of the orebody. The results confirmed the existing geological interpretation and the
lodes remain open to the north and at depth.
We are right in the middle of some very exciting drilling at SOZ where we are testing
southern extensions, which could tell us a lot about the continuity of the mineralisation
as it plunges to the south. We expect results from these holes over the coming months.
Our resource development strategy is targeting a step-change in resource scale and
increasing drilling density in the near-term underground mining areas.
We’ve been running a number of other projects in parallel as we work towards updating
our life of mine Ore Reserve and cash flow forecast. There are a number of high value
changes we could make to how Mineral Hill operates and so we’re pursuing all avenues
to leverage the existing infrastructure and resources. Some of these include investigating
optimisation and expansion strategies in the processing plant so we can potentially
increase the annual production rate.
We have proven that we can process SOZ copper-gold ore and sell the resulting copper
concentrate. We are now analysing additional samples from Jack’s Hut, with the aim of
including the deposit in the Ore Reserve update planned for June 2027.
On the mining front, we’ve been refining our mine designs and scheduling plans, plus
looking at options such as paste fill to maximise productivity and efficiency.
We are working with specialists in metallurgy, geotechnical engineering and mining
engineering to inform the Ore Reserve update and associated mine-planning and cash
flow forecasts. Our objective is to provide a clearer basis for assessing Mineral Hill’s
potential mine life, production scale and capital requirements.
We are stepping up our efforts on keeping our shareholders informed on progress and
so we have partnered with InvestorHub to update our website and install a platform
where shareholders can engage with us more directly. I encourage you to get onto our
website and look at the information there, including a 3D view of the site, infrastructure
and drill hole results.” Click here for a direct link: www.kingstonresources.com.au

Mineral Hill Drilling and Resource Development
FY27 Drilling Strategy
During the September quarter, Kingston outlined the 25,000m drilling strategy
associated with the resource growth and development program planned for FY27. The
program is the largest drill-out at Mineral Hill since Triako’s drilling activities in 1999.
Targeted outcomes of the program are two-fold; build scale in the Mineral Resource with
extension drilling and tighten the drill density in the planned near-term production areas.
Approximately 60% of planned metres are allocated to underground extension and
surface extension/exploration drilling, with the remaining 40% allocated to infill drilling.
The drilling is targeting eight priority target areas, all within the mining lease or within
2km of the processing plant. Figure 1 shows the drill hole designs for the FY27 program.

September Quarter Drilling Report
Underground drilling at Mineral Hill focused on a mixture of extension and infill drilling.
Drilled metres totalled 4,370m, averaging 47.5m per day. The rig achieved over 100m a day
on numerous shifts and reached a maximum of 123m on one day. Many of the holes are
designed with the same collar position, so there is potential for high drilling rates, allowing
results to be expedited for the Mineral Resource planned for release in the March Quarter
of 2027.
Figure 2: Monthly drilled metres for the underground diamond drill rig.
Drilling activity at the start of the quarter focused on the northern extensions of the D, G
and H Lodes at the Southern Ore Zone (SOZ). Results from this campaign were
announced on 22 October 2026 (post end of quarter). The rig subsequently moved to
extension and infill targets on the eastern side of SOZ, primarily targeting A Lode and
associated parallel mineralisation.
The results of drilling conducted in the June quarter were returned from the assay lab in
July and were subsequently released to the ASX. These included the infill drilling results
from Jack’s Hut and SOZ (see the results presented below and in the original ASX
announcement on 2 Jul 2026 and 9 Jul 2026).

Southern Ore Zone
High-grade polymetallic assay results were announced early in the quarter from the
Upper A Lode in SOZ. The long intersection in drill hole KSNDDH085 between 209m and
231.1m returned high-grade assays for gold, copper, lead, zinc and silver. The sections of
solid galena (lead sulphide mineral) are shown in the core photos in Figure 4 between
223.45 and 228.85m. The highlight intersections for KSNDDH085 include:
• 31.10m @ 2.68% Pb, 2.62% Zn, 24g/t Ag (2.0% CuEq) from 165.9m (KSNDDH085).
• 22.10m @ 1.62g/t Au, 1.47% Cu, 8.98% Pb, 3.13% Zn, 132g/t Ag (7.6% CuEq) from
209.0m (~9m true width) (KSNDDH085).
These results indicate potential for extending the Mineral Resource at the top of the
orebody to the east and south where it remains open in these directions. Hole
KSNDDH086, also reported in the same announcement supported the existing geological
interpretation, intersecting the mineralised lodes in their interpreted positions.

Jack’s Hut
Eight infill holes were drilled at the southern end of the historical Jack’s Hut underground
development. The key aim was to upgrade the Inferred portions of the Mineral Resource
estimated in 2023 for Jack’s Hut. Kingston’s mine planning team have identified
numerous potential stopes in Jack’s Hut and the results of this drilling have confirmed
the existing geological model. Geological modelling is currently being undertaken to
update the Jack’s Hut Mineral Resource.
Kingston is aiming to have Jack’s Hut form a second ore source in the life of mine plan.
The deposit has the distinct advantage of having its own portal and decline, separate from
the SOZ underground workings.
KINGSTONRESOURCES.COM.AU | ASX: KSN 9
Figure 6: Plan view of the Jack’s Hut Infill drill holes.
The program returned significant downhole intersections of up to 29.1m, broadly
supporting the interpreted location and grade tenor of mineralisation in the targeted
areas. KSNDDH093 illustrates the style of polymetallic mineralisation encountered in the
area, as shown in the core photographs in Figure 7. The hole returned 9.30m @ 3.08% Pb,
3.62% Zn, 0.98% Cu, 0.71g/t Au, 15g/t Ag from 180.1m (3.2% CuEq).
The surface drill rig is expected to arrive at Mineral Hill in November 2026 to test potential
extensions below the existing Jack’s Hut Mineral Resource. Figure 9 shows the long-
section of Jack’s Hut with the latest infill results, the planned surface drill holes (green
traces) and the deeper historical intersections from TMH216 and GD1. The surface drilling
is targeting the gap between the mineralisation developed in the underground
development and the existing deep intersections.
The infill results will be incorporated into an updated geological model, with an updated
Jack’s Hut Mineral Resource estimate targeted for the March quarter of 2027.

Drilling was completed to test extensions beyond the existing Resource at Red Terror. The
results returned very high-grade gold results, consistent with the historical drilling and
production records. The mineralisation remains open down dip and to the north.
The results in KSNDDH080 are the most outstanding, with the high-grade core returning
8.55m @ 23.80g/t gold, 0.91% copper and 16g/t silver. Hole KSNDDH081 is the up-dip
extension and has returned 4.00m @ 8.83g/t Au and 1.40% Cu.

Further analysis of the historical sample database indicates the potential of a northern
extension to the mineralisation into an area of sparse drilling. High-grade channel
samples (CS1160ES) collected historically in the cross-cut north of KSNDDH080 and 081
provide strong indications of northerly extensions. Additionally, 100m to the north of this
development drive, historical surface diamond drill hole TMH116 also intersected
significant gold-copper mineralisation. Kingston will look to target this area with
additional drilling and test for extensions to the Mineral Resource.
The sample results for CS1160ES and drill hole TMH116 are historical in nature, collected by
previous owners of Mineral Hill. Kingston has not been able to verify the QAQC procedures,
chain of custody, or original assay certificates associated with these historical results, and
is therefore unable to confirm their reliability to the standard applied to the diamond
drilling results reported elsewhere in this announcement. Investors should not place
undue reliance on the historical results, which are provided for geological context only
and do not form part of, or contribute to, any Mineral Resource estimate.

Upcoming Drilling
Kingston has engaged a surface drilling contractor to commence drilling numerous
exploration and resource development targets. These include:
• Jack’s Hut deeps – four holes to test extension of Jack’s Hut beyond the historical
underground development.
• Iodide resource development – testing depth extensions and increasing drill
density around the existing Inferred Resources.
• Parker’s Hill East exploration – two holes to test for potential sulphide
mineralisation beneath the historical K5A drill hole which intersected hypogene
zinc mineralisation (potentially sitting above primary sulphide mineralisation).
• Bogong exploration- re-entering a RC hole to extend with diamond drilling and
test for potential copper-gold dominant polymetallic mineralisation.
• SOZ Resource development – Upper A Lode extension (around the high-grade
results from KSNDDH085, ASX announcement from 9 July 2026) and extensions to
the southern footwall mineralisation south of KSNDDH017 (see ASX
announcement from 1 Nov 2023).
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Updates
Kingston is aiming to release updated Mineral Resource estimates for Jack’s Hut and SOZ
in the March Quarter of 2027. With respect to the Mineral Resources, the geology team is
incorporating the new drill hole information as it becomes available. The Jack’s Hut
geological interpretations are being updated based on the recent infill drilling results and
may be further revised upon the completion of the surface drilling targeting the depth
extensions beneath the current drilling.
Numerous work streams are being progressed simultaneously to advance the update of
the underground Ore Reserves, expected to be released in the June Quarter of 2027. These
include:
• Life of mine stope and development design and scheduling work.
• Paste fill studies to investigate the feasibility of installing a paste plant on site.
• Metallurgical sampling at Jack’s Hut and engagement of an expert metallurgist to
guide the input metallurgical parameters required for the Ore Reserve estimate.
• Progress on the life of mine tailings storage strategy, including the submission of
an application for an additional tailings dam (Tailings Storage Facility 3).
• Early studies on optimisation and potential expansion of the processing plant.
• Appointment of a geotechnical engineer to guide the mining parameters
expected to be used in stope and development engineering work.

The Company made payments totalling $197k to associates and related parties
representing fees, wages and superannuation paid to Directors.
The Company's Appendix 5B — Quarterly Cash Flow Report has been lodged concurrently
with this Quarterly Activities Report.
The estimated funding calculation in Item 8 of the Appendix 5B reflects significant one-
off cash outflows during the quarter associated with the Company's transition to care and
maintenance, including the settlement of creditors and accrued liabilities outstanding
following the open pit closure, redundancy and termination payments, and payments
relating to previously committed capital projects. As a result, the reported cash utilisation
for the quarter is not considered representative of the Company's expected ongoing
expenditure profile. As at 30 September 2026, the Company held cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $14.54 million.

Metal Equivalents
This announcement quotes metal equivalent grades defined by Kingston Resources.
Price assumptions used are based on market consensus forecasts with adjustments to
account for reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE), as guided by
JORC reporting guidelines. Copper equivalent (CuEq) conversion factors are used within
the announcement and are calculated by multiplying the grades for each contributing
metal by their respective metal price and recovery and dividing by the multiplication of
the copper price and copper recovery.
Metallurgical recoveries are based on historical production (2010-2016) as well as recent
metallurgical test work and are applied to the Resource and Reserve calculated grades
for each commodity. The Company is of the opinion that all the elements included in the
metal equivalent calculations have demonstrated potential to be recovered and sold.
Mineral Hill has a fully approved mine and processing plant, capable of producing metal
concentrates and dorѐ (from the flotation and CIL circuits). The Company is targeting a
recommencement of mining and processing to produce copper, lead and zinc
concentrates as well as precious metal dorѐ.

About Kingston Resources
Kingston Resources is an Australian gold and copper company focused on Mineral
Resource growth and advancing the next phase of development at its 100%-owned
Mineral Hill asset in New South Wales.
Mineral Hill is an established polymetallic mine and processing complex in the Southern
Cobar Basin and is currently on care and maintenance. Gold and copper are the principal
value drivers. The site includes five orebodies within the existing mining lease, a fully
permitted 350ktpa processing plant and two existing underground declines.
Three reasons to look more closely at Kingston:
01
ESTABLISHED ASSET
AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Kingston owns 100% of Mineral
Hill, including the existing mine, a
fully permitted 350ktpa
processing plant and two
underground declines. This
established footprint differentiates
Mineral Hill from a greenfield
development.
02
EXISTING MINERAL
RESOURCE WITH
GROWTH POTENTIAL
Mineral Hill has a 12.1Mt Mineral
Resource containing 884koz
AuEq across five orebodies.
Since acquiring Mineral Hill,
Kingston has increased the
Mineral Resource from 5.9Mt to
12.1Mt while processing
approximately 2Mt of material.
