Kingston Secures Additional $5 Million Funding
Additional debt funding to accelerate cash flow from hard rock mining
Kingston Resources Limited (ASX: KSN) (Kingston or the Company) is pleased to announce the signing of
a revised facility agreement for an additional $5m debt facility (Tranche C facility) with PURE Asset
Management. Given the exceptionally strong gold price, additional investment made now can yield a fast
payback and pave the way for future expansion of milling capacity (current 360ktpa) and production rates.
The funding will be drawn imminently, providing for the following:
• Move current work schedule to double shifts, adding additional staff and vehicle movements, and
significantly lifting open pit mining productivity
• Completion of training for new employees and ramp up of additional mining equipment
• Commence engineering studies to understand improvements on the processing plant to cater for
additional production volumes, including additional energy requirements
• Provide working capital support as the company transition from Gold/Silver Dore production to
Gold/Silver Concentrate production
Kingston Resources Managing Director, Andrew Corbett, said: “We are grateful for the continued support
from PURE Asset Management to deliver on our plans for Mineral Hill. The funding facility provided by PURE
will enable Kingston to expedite cash flow generation from hard rock mining”.
PURE Asset Management Portfolio Manager Dan Porter commented: “We are extremely excited about
the progress we have seen at Mineral Hill as the Company seeks to enter a robust second production phase.
We see a tremendous opportunity unfolding, backed by fully permitted, quality assets in a Tier 1 location
(NSW), the strategic positioning of the mill, increasing reserves and very strong upside within the existing
Mining Lease. In this current strong gold market, additional investment is soundly supported”.
