Exploration Update
Kingston Resources Limited (ASX: KSN) is pleased to provide the following update on our
Exploration activities in Northern Territory and South Australia
Northern Territory Tin / Tantalum / Lithium Applications
In early 2016 Kingston applied for three new tenements targeting pegmatite-hosted Tin /
Tantalum / Lithium mineralisation within the Arunta Region of the Northern Territory.

The Arunta Region comprises a sequence of Proterozoic rocks known to host Tin / Tantalum
rich pegmatites. Historic pegmatite-hosted workings targeting Tin, Tantalum, Tungsten and
mica are recorded within, and adjacent to, Kingston’s application areas. There has been
very little past exploration for Lithium. The presence of historic Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten
occurrences in pegmatites is a strong indicator that the extensive pegmatites in the area may
be Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT) type pegmatites which host Lithium mineralisation in
other hard rock pegmatite fields.
In March 2016, Kingston undertook a reconnaissance field deployment to the three new
tenement applications to meet land users, assess access and determine the most effective
exploration techniques which could be applied in the area.
Extensive pegmatites were found to outcrop throughout EL31212. The pegmatites within the
tenement vary in width (from <1m to 40m+), orientation and composition.

Very coarse mineral growth (up to 10’s cm) is common within the pegmatites in both central
quartz-rich zones and outer mica-rich zones.
Kingston is encouraged by the number, size and setting of the pegmatites observed during
this deployment. Kingston only visited a limited portion of the area and believe numerous
pegmatites remain to be assessed. EL’s 31213 and 31214 were also visited during the
reconnaissance trip but access was restricted by road conditions from recent rain.
Government co-funded drilling at Cootanoorina Copper-Gold Project
Preparations continue for government co-funded drilling at Kingston’s Cootanoorina CopperGold project south of Oodnadatta. In the last few months, Kingston has submitted
environmental approvals, pegged the proposed drill sites and progressed negotiations with
Native Title holders regarding a clearance survey.
