Refurbished Processing Plant Reaches Full Capacity
Plant now operating at 400ktpa throughput rate
Highlights:
•
Ramp up complete: Crushing and grinding successfully ramped up over the last four weeks and
consistently running at 50 tonnes per hour (tph), 20% above the original design.
•
Gold recovery exceeding budget: Gold recovery rates from oxide ore have consistently surpassed
the initial forecast of 85%.

Steady Cash Flow: Weekly gold and silver dore sales have been established, ensuring a reliable

Kingston Resources Limited (ASX:KSN) (‘Kingston’, or ‘The Company’) has successfully ramped up
production at the Mineral Hill processing plant, now reaching 400kt per annum. Over the past four weeks, the
facility achieved a record single-day throughput of 1,144 tonnes. The mill is consistently operating at a 50tph,
already exceeding the nameplate design. Management is confident that further incremental improvements
can be made by optimising various inputs and operating conditions to both mine and the plant.
