CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
2017 ANNUAL REPORT
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
Chairman’s Letter
Dear Stakeholders
I am pleased to introduce the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2017.
When KSN shareholders voted in July 2016 to approve the significant changes to the Company we embarked
on a process to build KSN into a successful exploration company. Our approach has been to assess and test
the potential within our portfolio and to pursue opportunities to grow that portfolio.
We began with a portfolio of promising lithium targets and adequate funding to rapidly assess their potential.
As reported throughout the year and elsewhere in the Annual Report, we carried out a range of lithium
exploration programs in Western Australia and Northern Territory. The results of this work now form the
basis for developing our programs for 2018 and beyond.
The KSN team, led by Andrew Corbett, also evaluated a range of investment opportunities throughout the
year. As a result of that work we were very pleased to enter into an option agreement to acquire an interest
in the Livingstone Gold Project. Initial exploration work on this project indicates exciting potential which
will be pursued in the coming year.
Expansion of our asset base remains a priority for board and management and we continue to seek value by
applying a disciplined commercial approach to project opportunities.
The first year of the new KSN has been demanding on our small team and I take this opportunity to thank
them for their efforts and to congratulate them on what has been achieved for the Company.
We are grateful to all our shareholders for your support and encouragement and we look forward to a
successful 2018, which is already shaping up to be one of exciting challenges.
Your sincerely
Anthony S Wehby
Non-Executive Chairman

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
2017 ANNUAL REPORT
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
Directors’ Report
The Directors present their report together with the financial report of the Consolidated Entity (or ‘Group’),
being Kingston Resources Limited (‘Kingston” or the “Company’) and its subsidiaries, for the financial year
ended 30 June 2017 and the independent auditor’s report thereon.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The Company is an Australian-based Company listed on the ASX. The principal activity of the Group during
the period was mineral exploration.
OPERATING RESULTS AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR
Operating Results
Kingston reported a statutory after tax loss of $1,153,471 (2016: $4,587,718), the reduced FY17 loss
compared to FY16 reflects the absence of any asset impairments (2016 $4,365,531).
Review of Operations
Kingston Resources had an active and exciting year to 30 June 2017. On 4 July 2016, shareholder approval
was received for a $6.85m capital raising and the concurrent acquisition of a portfolio of lithium exploration
assets. New board and management appointments were also made. Following this transaction, Kingston
holds lithium exploration licenses across four key project areas, three of which were advanced significantly
during FY17. Aligned with its lithium/gold/copper focus, Kingston also completed the purchase of an option
to acquire the Livingstone Gold project in December 2016. Initial sampling and auger drilling at
Livingstone’s Find has delivered very encouraging results. Both the Slipstream and Livingstone acquisitions
and activity for the year are summarised below.
Summary of Acquisitions
•
Slipstream WANT: On 4 July 2016, KSN received EGM approval for its $6.85m capital raising
and concurrent acquisition of Slipstream WANT Pty Ltd. Slipstream WANT owned 20 lithium
exploration tenements, 2 of which were granted, 18 were in the application stage. Consideration
for the acquisition was 165m KSN shares plus $500,000 in cash. There were also Milestone shares
provided, which would see KSN issue the vendor 90m shares if a 5Mt resource of >1% Li20 was
discovered on the tenements, plus a further 90m shares if a 15Mt resource of >1% Li20 was
discovered. The Milestone shares will expire on 30 June 2019.
•
Livingstone: On 21 December 2016, KSN completed the acquisition of an option to purchase a
75% interest in the Livingstone Gold Project from Trillbar Resources. In consideration for the
option, KSN paid the vendors 5.5m KSN shares and 5m 2.5c KSN options expiring in three years.
KSN has 12 months to exercise the option. In order to exercise the option, KSN is required to have
spent a minimum of $200,000 on exploration on the project. If KSN exercises the option, it will
pay the vendor a further $300,000 in KSN equity issued at a 10% discount to the 20 day VWAP
prior to the date of exercise.
Lithium Exploration Review
Bynoe / Wingate Projects: These projects cover 497 km2 of the extensive Bynoe and Wingate tin-tantalumlithium pegmatite fields where Core Exploration Limited (ASX:CXO) and Liontown Resources Limited
(ASX:LTR) have had encouraging early exploration success. Through FY17, Kingston completed initial
mapping and sampling programs, and a joint geophysics program with regional neighbours, Core
Exploration Limited and Liontown Resources Limited. This was followed up with a drill program completed

2017 ANNUAL REPORT
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
in June 2016, which delivered a best intersection of 12m at 1.43% Li2O from 121m. Follow up geochemical
sampling has helped further refine targets in the area and Kingston is also trialling the use of Deep Ground
Penetrating Radar (DPGR) which it believes has the potential to deliver significant value as a targeting tool
in the region. DPGR promises to help accurately distinguish pegmatites from surrounding country rock under
cover. Pegmatites’ lack of contrasting density, magnetic susceptibility, or conductivity makes them difficult
to identify using conventional geophysical techniques. Kingston anticipates further fieldwork, including
DPGR programs to be concluded in the six months to December 2017 ahead of a second drilling campaign in
Bynoe.
North Arunta Project: The North Arunta region is known to host tin / tantalum rich pegmatites, a strong
indicator that the extensive pegmatites in the area may be LCT type pegmatites, which host lithium
mineralisation in other hard rock pegmatite fields. Initial fieldwork, including mapping and geochemical
sampling was undertaken during the period with a number of high grade rock chips and soil anomalies
identified. Two priority areas have been identified within the Spotted Wonder prospect, Delmore and Tank
Hill. Kingston is progressing approvals for an RC program to test these targets.
Mount Cattlin Project: This project lies 15 km south west of the Mt Cattlin lithium mine owned by Galaxy
Resources Limited (ASX:GXY). The tenements cover the Annabelle Volcanics, which host LithiumCesium-Tantalum (LCT) pegmatites and are considered prospective for lithium mineralisation. During the
year Kingston completed its initial fieldwork programs, successfully identifying a significant lithium-in-soil
anomaly at the Deep Purple Prospect. An initial small scale drill program was completed in January 2017,
with a best intersection of 5m at 1.11% Li2O from 7m. Kingston intends to work towards a follow up
program in the region once further fieldwork has been completed.
The Greenbushes tenement lies immediately south of Talison Lithium’s Greenbushes mine, the largest hard
rock lithium mine in the world. This tenement remains in application.
Gold Exploration Review
Livingstone, located northwest of Meekatharra in Western Australia, is an advanced exploration project with
an existing JORC2004 Inferred mineral resource of 49,900 ounces and a number of high-grade drilling
intersections that indicate excellent potential for additional discoveries.
An initial 2190m drill program on the smaller scale Homestead and Winja prospects was completed in March
2017. Best results at Homestead include:
•
7m @ 12.59g/t from 35m
•
3m @ 5.81g/t from 30m
•
12m @ 2.46g/t from 87m
And best results at Winja include:
•
18m @ 3.03g/t from 45m, including 7m @ 5.14g/t
These results highlight the potential for these prospects to host structurally controlled zones of significant
gold grades.
An auger program was carried out over the large scale Livingstone’s Find anomaly. The drilling, conducted
over an area of approximately 17km2, revealed high-tenor gold anomalies extending more than 2km across
each of the Stanley and Mt Seabrook prospects. The results include gold values in excess of 1,000ppb or 1g/t
Au. At the Mt Seabrook area, which includes two lines of old workings known as Mt Seabrook No.1 and
No.2, auger drilling defined a large area of gold anomalism greater than 50ppb Au. The Mt Seabrook
anomaly covers an area of over 2km long and up to 800m wide with a peak assay of 1.74g/t Au. The Mt
-5-
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
2017 ANNUAL REPORT
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
Seabrook workings were sampled in 2016 by Kingston, with grab samples returning assays as high as
75.65g/t Au. In the Stanley area, a second major anomaly has been defined, extending east-west for over
3km with a width of up to 350m. Kingston intends to follow this auger program up with aircore drilling in
FY18.
FINANCIAL POSITION
On 4 July 2016, the Company completed a capital raising issuing a total of 326.2 million shares at $0.021
raising $6.85m, of which 40 million shares ($840,000) were issued in May 2016, with the balance being
issued in July 2016.
At the end of the financial year the Consolidated Entity had net assets of $9,740,370, (2016: $798,058) and
$3,877,551 in cash (2016: $645,270).
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Other than reported above in the Review of Results and Operations, there were no significant changes in the
state of affairs of the Company during the reporting period.
MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF FINANCIAL YEAR
On 1 July 2017, the Company moved its registered address to Suite 205 / 283 Alfred St, North Sydney,
NSW.
Other than the above, there has been no other matter or circumstance which has arisen since 30 June 2017
that has significantly affected or may significantly affect:
a)
Kingston Resources Limited’s operations in future financial years; or
b)
the results of those operations in future financial years; or
c)
Kingston Resources Limited’s state of affairs in future financial years.
DIVIDENDS OR DISTRIBUTIONS
No dividends were paid during the financial year and the directors do not recommend the payment of a
dividend.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS
The Group will continue its evaluation of its mineral projects and undertake generative work to identify and
potentially acquire new resource projects. Due to the nature of the business, the result is not predictable.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The mineral tenements granted to the Company pursuant to the Western Australia Mining Act 1978,
Northern Territory Mineral Titles Act 2010 and South Australian Mining Act 1971 are granted subject to
various conditions which include standard environmental requirements. The Company adheres to these
conditions and the directors are not aware of any environmental laws that are not being complied with.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)
This remuneration report outlines the director and executive remuneration arrangements of the Company and
the Group for the year ended 30 June 2017 in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act
2001 and its Regulations.
(a)
Key management personnel disclosed in this report
For the purposes of this report, key management personnel (KMP) of the Group are defined as those persons
having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the major activities of the Group,
directly or indirectly, including a director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Company.
Details of key management personnel:

Non-Executive Chairman (resigned 4 July 2016)
Non-Executive Director (resigned 30 November 2016)
Remuneration Philosophy
Kingston does not have a formal remuneration policy and has not established a separate remuneration
committee. The whole Board takes on the function of the remuneration committee with independent advice
sought as required. Due to the early stage of development and small size of the Company a separate
remuneration committee was not considered to add any efficiency to the process of determining the levels of
remuneration for directors and key executives. The Board considers that it is more appropriate to set aside
time at a Board meeting each year to specifically address matters that would ordinarily fall to a remuneration
committee such as reviewing remuneration, recruitment, retention and termination procedures and evaluating
senior executives remuneration packages and incentives.
In addition, all matters of remuneration will continue to be in accordance with the Corporations Act
requirement, especially with regard to related party transactions. That is, none of the directors participate in
any deliberations regarding their own remuneration or related issues.
Independent external advice is sought from remuneration consultants when required, however no advice has
been sought during the period ended 30 June 2017. The Corporate Governance Statement provides further
information on the Company’s remuneration governance.
(c)
Executive remuneration policy and framework
In determining executive remuneration, the Board aims to ensure that remuneration practices are:
• Competitive and reasonable, enabling the Company to attract and retain key talent;
• Aligned to the Company’s strategic and business objectives and the creation of shareholder value;
• Transparent and easily understood; and
• Acceptable to shareholders.
The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the executive’s performance and comparable
information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries. The terms and conditions
for the Managing Director are considered appropriate for the current exploration phase of the Group’s
development.
- 10 -
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
2017 ANNUAL REPORT
KINGSTON RESOURCES LIMITED
& its Controlled Entities
Options and performance rights may be issued to directors subject to approval by shareholders. All
remuneration paid to directors is valued at the cost to the Group and expensed. Options are valued using the
Black-Scholes methodology.
(d)
Relationship between remuneration and the Group’s performance
Directors’ remuneration is set by reference to other companies of similar size and industry, and by reference
to the skills and experience of directors. Fees paid to directors are not linked to the performance of the
Group. This policy may change once the exploration phase is complete and the Company is generating
revenue. At present the existing remuneration policy is not impacted by the Group’s performance including
earnings and changes in shareholder wealth (dividends, changes in share price or returns of capital to
shareholders). The Board has set long-term and short-term performance indicators for the determination of
director remuneration as the Board believes this may encourage performance which is not in the long term
interests of the Company and its shareholders.
The Board has structured its remuneration arrangements in such a way it believes is in the best interests of
building shareholder wealth in the longer term.
The following table shows the net loss, loss per share and share price for the last three financial years.

Long-term (LTI) and short-term (STI) incentives may be provided to KMP in the form of Performance
Rights and Options over ordinary shares of the Company and are considered to promote continuity of
employment and provide additional incentive to recipients to increase shareholder wealth. Performance
Rights and Options may only be issued to directors subject to approval by shareholders in general meeting.
There were 13,500,000 unlisted Options issued during the year as LTI and 13,500,000 unlisted Options as
STI (2016:nil) . There were 5,954,063 Performance Rights issued during the year as STI and 27,969,375
Performance Rights issued during the year as LTI.
(e)
Non-Executive Directors remuneration policy
On appointment to the Board, all non-executive directors enter into a service agreement with the Company in
the form of a letter of appointment. The letter summarises the Board policies and terms including
remuneration, relevant to the office of director.
The Board policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at commercial market rates for comparable
companies for their time, commitment and responsibilities.
The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by
shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and is currently set at $150,000 per annum. Fees may also be
paid to non-executive directors for additional consulting services provided to the Company.
Fees for non-executive directors are not linked to the performance of the Group. Non-executive directors’
remuneration may also include an incentive portion consisting of options, subject to approval by
shareholders.
