Strengthening the Mineral Hill Production Profile
The latest drilling campaign was designed to de-risk underground development and
optimise stope design at SOZ. Results confirm both the location and continuity of high-
grade mineralisation, providing increased confidence in converting resources into
mineable reserves.
Notably, Hole KSNDDH062, returned:
• 21.4m @ 0.46g/t Au, 1.22% Cu, 2.7% Pb, 1.96% Zn, 43g/t Ag (3.28% CuEq),
including
▪ 7.5m @ 1.2g/t Au, 3.31% Cu, 5.67% Pb, 1.96% Zn, 76g/t Ag (7.25% CuEq)
Figure 1: Massive sulphide component of the 7.5m interval from 38.6m in hole KSNDDH062. Interval
highlighted in pink; 3.4m @ 1.09g/t Au, 2.82% Cu, 6.86% Pb, 1.86% Zn, 77g/t Ag from 38.6m .
These results highlight the significant polymetallic value at Mineral Hill, with
contributions from copper, gold, silver, lead and zinc enhancing overall project
economics. The Copper Equivalent (CuEq) grades reported in this announcement take
into account individual metal recoveries based on metallurgical test work and historic
production through the Mineral Hill processing plant. The in-situ grades are significantly
higher.
Other key intercepts include:
• 2.1m @ 14.28% Pb, 3.98% Zn, 59g/t Ag (KSNDDH056)
• 7.5m @ 1.2g/t Au, 3.31% Cu, 5.67% Pb, 76g/t Ag (KSNDDH062)
• 6.10m @ 6.36% Pb, 8.81% Zn, 117g/t Ag (KSNDDH063)
• 10.5m @ 1.23g/t Au, 3.25% Cu (KSNDDH070)
KINGSTONRESOURCES.COM.AU | ASX: KSN 3
These results demonstrate consistent high-grade zones within broader mineralised
envelopes, a key factor in supporting strong operating margins in underground mining
scenarios.

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 a demonstrated potential to be recovered and sold.
Mineral Hill is currently producing metal concentrates and dore (from the CIL) on site.
Upon the commencement of underground polymetallic production, the Company will
have a Cu flotation circuit, Pb flotation circuit and Zn flotation circuit to produce three
different concentrates as well as precious metal dorѐ.

Appendix 1. SOZ Underground Drilling - JORC Code Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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 (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g
Diamond Drilling Sample Collection
• A diamond core drill rig was used to produce rock samples of
core. Run length was variable between 3m and 1m depending on
the ground conditions and any expected mineralisation.
• Triple Tube HQ and NQ barrel set up was utilised to maximize
recoveries.
• Diamond drill core is orientated where orientation tools provided
an outcome that is assessed as reliable.
• The geologist selects sample intervals based on logged geology
(lithology, alteration, mineralisation, structures) with minimum
sample length of 0.3m and maximum of 1.5m. Half core samples
were taken from start to end of hole. All drill core is sampled
using an automated/mechanical core cutting machine with
diamond cutting blade. Samples comprise half core with sample
intervals determined by the geologist and recorded as a cut
sheet.
• For orientated drill core a cutting reference line is drawn
approximately 15mm offset from the orientation line. Drill core is
cut along the cut line with the orientation line not sampled and
returned to the core box for future reference.
• Non-orientated drill core is cut along a reference line that is the
best approximation of the extensions of the orientation reference
line with the intent of ensuring the same half core is sampled.
• Samples are placed in calico bags and dispatched to ALS

more explanation may be required,

problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
laboratory where they are received and registered with a sample
receipt document provided as a record of the chain of custody
process.
Analysis of Geotechnical Samples
• Field point load testing (PLT) was conducted on solid pieces of
core >100mm in length from every 3rd core tray. Different rock
type samples were selected to collect a range of data reflecting
varying rock mass strengths throughout each hole.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
• Diamond Core Drilling: - 36 diamond drill holes have been
completed to date for a total of 4042.6 metres
• This release refers to 9 diamond drill holes that have been
completed in the program for a total of 1166 metres.
• The holes were collared in two separate sites in existing SOZ
underground drives on the 1100 Level.
• All holes were diamond cored with HQ3 with the option to reduce
to NQ3 where adverse ground conditions were encountered.
• All holes were oriented using an Axis North-seeking Gyroscopic
tool. During drilling a collar check survey and a 15m survey was
taken, followed by surveys every 30m from 30m depth to end of
hole. Prior to completing each hole, a multi-shot continuous gyro
survey was taken. Each single shot and EOH multi-shot was then
uploaded to the cloud-hosted Axis database for retrieval and
review by Geology.
• Reverse Circulation Drilling
• No Reverse Circulation drilling was completed as part of the
program being reported or depicted in the release.
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
• Diamond Drill Core
• Diamond drill core is recovered on a run-by-run basis where
the length drilled, and axial length recovered is recorded by

the drilling crew. Run length and recovery are remeasured
and calculated in the core processing area. No significant
discrepancies have been noted between driller and KSN
determined runs and recovery.
• Diamond drill core is sampled as half core using a diamond
blade auto saw.
• Core loss zones have not been sampled. These ‘gaps’ in
sampling have been assigned zero (0) grade for the purposes
of significant interval calculation.
• Reverse Circulation Drilling
• No Reverse Circulation drilling referred to or reported or
depicted in the release.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples
have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.
• A qualified geologist logs all drill core from this program.
• Logging captured, lithological, alteration, mineralisation,
structural and weathering information. Drill core also provided
geotechnical data based on physical counts of and physical
measurement of angles, hardness, roughness, of discontinuities
and visual assessment and description of structural features.
• Geological logging is generally qualitative in nature noting the
presence of various geological features and their intensities using
a numerical 1-5 scale. Quantitative features of the logging include
structural alpha and beta measurements captured as well as
magnetic susceptibility and bulk density data.
• Bulk density intervals were chosen to represent the range of
lithology/alteration and mineralisation within the hole. The test
can only be completed on competent core, so areas of broken or
clayey core are not represented in the bulk density
measurements,
KINGSTONRESOURCES.COM.AU | ASX: KSN 21
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
• “Dry weight” and “Wet weight” measurements were taken every 3
trays for pieces of core >= 10cm and bulk density calculated using
the Archimedes Principal:
• Bulk Density = (Sample Weight in Air) *(Fluid Density) / (Sample
Weight in Air) – Sample Weight in Water).
• The entire set of holes are fully logged and photographed.
• Diamond Core Drilling
• Recoveries were measured by the driller and/or offsider whilst
in the splits on the rack at the rig site using a handheld tape
measure. Recoveries were written in permanent marker on a
core block placed in the core tray. The Geologist and/or field
assistant measured the length of recovered core in the trays
when meter marking the core. Recovery is recorded as a
percentage per run.
• Drill core recoveries across the drill holes average >95% with 5-0%
recovery in mineralised zones.
• There is no observed relationship between sample recovery and
grade.
Sub-

• Quality control procedures adopted
• Diamond drill core sampling intervals are determined by the
logging geologist and is defined by key geological characteristics
such as lithology, alteration, mineralisation style paragenesis etc,
and structure.
• Drill core is sampled as half core using an automated diamond
blade core saw.
• Core is sampled from the same half with a cut at approximately
15mm offset from the BOH orientation line that is retained in the
core tray for future reference.
• Primary sample intervals are not subsampled further.

for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for
instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
• Routine QAQC was used in the sampling process. Blank material
was introduced at 1:30. Certified Reference Material was
introduced at a ratio of 1:25 and in areas of identified
mineralisation. Crush and pulp duplicates were taken at a ratio of
1:30
• Samples from the field are dispatched to the sample preparation
facility in Orange where they are dried, crushed and pulverised
with a 150g pulp subsample collected for analysis.
• Sample representivity and quality is assessed using KSN QAQC
protocols.
• Half core samples are appropriate for the host rock characteristics
and mineralisation style. Mineralised veins are, on the whole, at
moderate angles
