Certain statements contained in this presentation, including information as to the future financial or operating performance of KSN and its projects, are
forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements: include, among other things, statements regarding incomplete and uncertain proposals or
targets, production and prices, operating costs and results, capital expenditures, and are or may be based on assumptions and estimates related to future
technical, economic, market, political, social and other conditions; are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered

by the foregoing cautionary statements. Recipients are cautioned that forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly

Exploration by Other Explorers
This presentation contains information sourced from the reports of other Explorers. References to the original reports are provided as footnotes where the information is cited in this
presentation. KSN does not vouch for the accuracy of these reports. KSN has taken the decision to include this information as it is in the public domain and as we assess it to be of relevance to
shareholders and investors.
Production Target
The LOM plan includes Mineral Resource Estimates for Pearse pits, the Southern Ore
Zone (SOZ) and Jack’s Hut to estimate the Production Target1. All Ore Reserves and
Mineral Resources underpinning this LOM plan have been prepared by Competent
Persons in accordance with the 2012 JORC reporting guidelines. The Production
Target comprises 51% Ore Reserves, 11% Measured & Indicated Resources and 38%
Inferred Resources. The first 12 and 36 months of the Production Target are
underpinned by 89% and 80% of Measured and Indicated Resources respectively
There is a low level of confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and
there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of
Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised.
The stated production target is based on the Company’s current expectations of
future results or events and should not be solely relied upon by investors when
making investment decisions. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are
required to establish sufficient confidence that this target will be met. The Company
notes that the Project forecasts a positive financial performance and is therefore
satisfied that the use of Inferred resources in production target reporting and forecast
financial information is not the determining factor in overall Project viability and that
it is reasonable to report the LOM plan with Inferred Resources.
The Company has concluded that it is has a reasonable basis for providing the
forward-looking statements included in this announcement. The detailed reasons for
that conclusion are outline throughout this presentation.

Competent Person
Company
The Ore Reserve and Mineral Resources estimates were prepared by a Competent person in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 with
exception of the Parkers Hill Mineral Resource Estimates that have been prepared by a Competent Person in accordance with the JORC Code
2004 and have not been updated to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was
last reported. Pearse, Parkers Hill, Jacks Hut and the Southern Ore Zone Mineral Resource estimates and Ore Reserves have been adjusted by
mining depletion using the production wireframes created by the site survey department at the time of mining. These wireframes represent the
mining activities at these deposits to the best of Kingston’s knowledge although they are not to be viewed as complete or accurate in their
entirety and therefore mining depletion may be revised when Kingston is able to produce revised determinations on more complete data and
verification thereof. Information pertaining to Mineral Resource Estimates (MRE) and Ore Reserves (OR) in this presentation has been previously
released to the public. The tables on this page indicate the authors of the historical Resources/Reserves and the dates they were initially
published. Kingston is not reporting these estimates as its own with exception of the MRE and OR for the TSF which has not been reported
previously by any other company. The other original reports are available through the ASX website.

Metal equivalents
This presentation quotes metal equivalent grades for the life of mine plan, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Price assumptions used are based primarily on
consensus forecasts with adjustments based on company expectations. Gold equivalent (AuEq) and copper equivalent (CuEq) conversion factors are used
within the announcement and are calculated by dividing price/unit for each commodity (Cu/t, Au/oz, Ag/oz, Pb/t, Zn/t) and multiplying by the metallurgical
recovery. Since the metallurgical recovery varies according to deposit type, the metal equivalent factors are unique for each deposit (I.e. Tailings Project, Open
Pit, and Underground).
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 has a CIL circuit, Cu flotation circuit, Pb flotation circuit and Zn flotation circuit to produce three different
concentrates as well as gold dore.
AuEq g/t = (128.46 * Cu %) + (0.76 * Au g/t) + (0.01* Ag g/t) + (35.06 * Pb %) + (31.98 * Zn %)
