Kingston Resources Limited (ASX: KSN) (Kingston or the Company) is pleased to announce the discovery of two new mineralised structures to the east of the Southern Ore Zone (SOZ) Mineral Resource model. A new structure was identified in historic drill holes and confirmed in recent drilling. The structure extends into the footwall of the easternmost lode (A-lode) of the current SOZ resource model. Interpretation of multiple >1% CuEq intercepts in diamond drill holes represents a volume of material that is broadly parallel to the known deposit. This structure is not modelled or evaluated in the 2022 SOZ Mineral Resource estimate (see ASX announcement 24 November 2022). A second high-grade polymetallic mineralised structure was also intersected, representing the discovery of a new zone of mineralisation. Surface diamond drill hole KSNDDH017 was drilled at the southern end of the SOZ to test for extensions of the underground Mineral Resources. The shallow portions of the drillhole initially confirmed the width and tenor of the existing resources and then a new high-grade structure was intersected at depth. None of the previous drillholes have intersected this mineralisation. Multiple mineralised intercepts above the new structure suggest further potential of additional structures nearby. The Company is planning to follow up this drilling with additional surface drill holes to test the geometry and orientation of the new lodes. A drilling contractor has been engaged and drilling will commence imminently. This discovery is highly significant for Kingston, as it has the potential to expand the underground Mineral Resources and add to the Company’s life of mine inventory. Kingston currently has a LOM production target out to 2027 and is forecast to produce separate gold, copper, lead and zinc concentrates as well as gold/silver dore. 1 Copper equivalent (CuEq) is derived using metallurgical recovery and commodity prices. In-situ copper equivalent (CuEqIS) is derived using commodity prices only. See the details in the Metal Equivalents section later in this announcement.

Kingston Resources Managing Director, Andrew Corbett, said: “We are very excited to share this significant near-mine discovery of high-grade polymetallic mineralisation at Mineral Hill. This is a huge result for Kingston and we’re excited to see how our geological model evolves with this new information. To fully grasp the implications of this discovery, we are embarking on follow-up surface drilling in early November. This is a pivotal step in expanding our underground Mineral Resources and enriching our company’s life-of-mine inventory. This discovery underscores the high confidence we've always had in uncovering additional mineralisation within our mining lease—a key motivation behind our original acquisition of Mineral Hill almost two years ago.” www.kingstonresources.com.au 2 Figure 2: KSNDDH017 (200mN cross-section, +-50m window). *High grade domain shapes are sliced on section and drill holes are projected +/-50m.

Metallurgical recoveries and metal pricing used for the CuEq calculation is shown under Metal Equivalents below. www.kingstonresources.com.au 3 Kingston Resources Chief Geologist, Stuart Hayward, said: “The insights derived from KSNDDH017 are truly transformative for our geological team and the broader operations at Kingston. This drill hole marks a highly significant milestone, as it not only provides a fresh perspective but also opens up an array of exciting geological possibilities at Mineral Hill. One of the most intriguing aspects of this discovery is that it allows us to re-evaluate our deposit scale geological model and test the potential for additional mineralisation at depth. Based on the orientation of adjacent Mineral Resources, the previous drilling has not intersected this structure. This success initiated a review of historical drilling above this position closer to the stacked sequence of SOZ lodes, revealing a second mineralised structure that’s not represented in current models. We are now prioritising the mobilisation of a surface drill rig to test these structures further, focusing initially on areas close to our existing underground development, where we believe the most promising opportunities for additional mineralisation lie.” See Figure and Error!

Proportions are based on KSN forward looking USD$ commodity pricing and are not inclusive of metallurgical recovery. CuEqIS%= (Au_ppm*0.63)+ (Ag_ppm*0.0078)+ (Cu%*1.0)+ (Pb%*0.224)+ (Zn%*0.342) **** Assays and mineralised intercepts for KSNDDH017 are considered as final. The Southern Ore Zone (SOZ) at Mineral Hill typically comprises a series of parallel to en-echelon steeply west-dipping mineralised polymetallic fault/breccia zones hosted by the Mineral Hill Volcanics and Sediments. Each lode has a distinct sulphide mineral assemblage comprising variable proportions of Sphalerite-GalenaChalcopyrite-Pyrite-Pyrrhotite. This is reflected in the SOZ mineral system having a broad metal zonation with lead-zinc-copper dominant in upper levels, transitioning to gold-copper dominant in deeper levels. Figure 2 shows the mineralisation intersected at 405m depth downhole in KSNDDH017. The style of mineralisation is consistent with the known mineralisation within the SOZ. Mineralised shoot and lode geometry at the SOZ broadly changes from a flatter orientation near surface, to a steeper dip at depth. This portion of the mineralisation package is expected to be dipping approximately 70° to the west (mine grid). An approximate true width for this intersection is 6-8m. www.kingstonresources.com.au 5 Figure 2: KSNDDH017 drill core, tray 79-82, 404.03m to 421.35m depth. Next Steps Kingston has engaged a drilling contractor to mobilise to site and commence drilling in the first week of November. A multi hole surface drilling program is planned with the aim of testing the geometry and orientation of the mineralisation in KSNDDH017 and shallow dipping portions of SOZ at higher levels. Underground drilling to infill the existing Inferred portions of the underground resources is on track to commence later this year. www.kingstonresources.com.au 6 Metal Equivalents This announcement quotes metal equivalent grades for significant mineralised intercepts. The process of selecting significant intercepts involves a first pass of calculating In-Situ Copper Equivalent (CuEqIS) by applying factors based on relative metal pricing. The first pass does not include metallurgical recovery. Drill hole intervals are reported as continuous zones at CuEqIS cut off grade of greater than 0.5% and 1.0%, with 2 metres maximum internal waste and minimum interval of 0.3mdh. Price assumptions used are based primarily on consensus forecasts with adjustments based on company expectations. Upon deriving the significant intercepts with CuEqIS, metallurgical recovery is applied to derive copper equivalent (CuEq) factors for reporting. These 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. CuEq (%) = (Cu x 0.810) + (Au x 0.480) + (Ag x 0.005) + (Pb x 0.178) + (Zn 0.205) 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, and is currently reinstating the flotation circuit to produce gold, copper, lead and zinc concentrates as well as gold/silver dore.

Gold Price Upside: Highly leveraged to the upside of the gold price, amplifying potential returns. Current Focus: Prioritising ESIA reports, strategic funding & development strategies. Mineral Hill is a gold and copper mine located in the Cobar Basin of NSW. In June 2023, the company updated its life of mine plan, including both open pit and underground mining until 2027. The processing plant currently operates a CIL, and work is underway to recommission the existing crushing, grinding and flotation circuits for copper, lead and zinc concentrate production. In addition to current production, the company is focused on meeting near mine production targets located on the existing MLs. The aim is to extend the mine’s life through organic growth and consider regional deposits that could be processed at Mineral Hill’s processing plant. Misima hosts a JORC Resource of 3.8Moz Au and an Ore Reserve of 1.73Moz. Placer Pacific operated Misima as a profitable open pit mine between 1989 and 2001, producing over 3.7Moz before it was closed when the gold price was below US$300/oz. The Misima Project also offers great potential for additional resource growth through exploration success targeting extensions and additions to the current Resource base.

Criteria JORC Code explanation 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 charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. www.kingstonresources.com.au Commentary 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 PQ and HQ barrel set up was utilised to maximize recoveries. PQ was used in weathered zone, typically approximately the first 30m followed by HQ3. • Diamond drill core is orientated where orientation tools provided an outcome that is assessed as reliable. • The geologist selects sample intervals based on logged lithology, alteration, mineralisation and structures with a minimum sample length of 0.3m and a maximum of 1.0m. Drill core is sampled only within potentially mineralised zones and extending up to 10m outside of mineralised zones as determined by visual and/or pXRF analysis. • All drill core is sampled using an automated/mechanical core cutting machine with diamond cutting blade. Samples comprise half core for HQ3, and quarter core for PQ3 with sample intervals determined by the geologist and recorded as a cut sheet. • For orientated drill core a cutting refence line is drawn approximately 15mm offset form 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 SGS 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 • Multiple whole core samples were collected and dispatched for laboratory based geotechnical and material properties testing and analysis. • Sample intervals were a maximum 0.5m length along the core axis. • Samples were returned to the core yard where tested/destructed samples were submitted in their entirety for crushing and splitting to ensure a representative sample for geochemical analysis. • Partially destructed samples that can be pieced back together, and non-tested samples were cut using the auto core saw and half submitted for analysis in a manner consistent with drill core sampling procedures. 10 Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary 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). Drill sample recovery • Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. • Diamond Core Drilling: - Triple tube diamond core, PQ3 collar followed by HQ3 tail. In areas where ground conditions created a risk of not reaching target depths in HQ3, the core size was reduced to NQ3. • Where possible core was oriented using a Reflex down hole digital orientation tool. • Historical drill holes through the Talingaboolba Fm. Cover sequence utilised either rotary mud, PQ3 core to a competent formation before reduction to either HQ3 or NQ3 diamond core. • Reverse Circulation Drilling • No Reverse Circulation drilling was completed as part of the program being reported or depicted in the release. • 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. 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. www.kingstonresources.com.au • Reverse Circulation Drilling • No Reverse Circulation drilling referred to or reported or depicted in the release. • A qualified geologist and engineering geologist logs all drill core from this program. Historical and KSN DDH and RC holes were logged by a qualified geologist. • 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 data. • The entire DDH are 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. 11 Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary • • • Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation Quality of assay data and laboratory tests • If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all subsampling 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. • • The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. • www.kingstonresources.com.au • • • • • • • PQ diameter core was used in more broken ground close to surface in order to maximize recoveries. Additionally, the driller adjusted the length of runs depending on ground conditions, shorter runs were used in intervals of more challenging ground conditions. The driller used variable penetration rates to maximize recoverable core. There is no observed relationship between sample recovery and grade. 5 Diamond drill holes were completed in the program being reported for a total of 1421m of drill core. 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 note subsampled further. Routine QAQC was used in the sampling process. Blank material was introduced at 1:20. Certified Reference Material was introduced at a ratio of 1:20 and in areas of identified mineralization. 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 to core axis enabling a representative sample to be achieved through the half core sampling process. Geochemical analysis is carried out on all samples using a standardised analytical suite and sample preparation protocol. • Gold analysis is determined by fire assay (FA) by using lead collection technique with a 50g sample charge weight and AAS instrument finish. Gold by Fire Assay (FA) is considered a “complete or total” method for total recovery of gold in sample. • A multi (42) element suit was used for full geochemical coverage. This was a 4 Acid Digest with an ICP-OES finish. The 4 Acid digest is a total method. Historically Aqua Regia has been used at Mineral Hill. Kingston has decided to use the more robust 4 acid digest for its drilling programs. The
