Chairman’s Address
Welcome to today’s Annual General Meeting of KGL Resources. I respectively acknowledge that we meet today on the lands of the Turrbal people and pay my respects to their elders, past, present and emerging. I also acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in the southern Northern Territory, represented by the Central Land Council, are the past and present Traditional Custodians of the land on which Jervois Copper Project is located and pay my respects to their elders, past, present and emerging.
Let me commence our business for today with some introductions. Present are my fellow directors, Mr Brian Gell and Mr. Ferdian Purnamsidi via video conference. I am also very pleased to introduce our recently appointed CEO, Mr Philip Condon. Also present is our CFO Anthony Liaw.
Phil has been with us since June this year and was appointed CEO in August and has already been to site and met with all of the key stakeholders in the Jervois Project. Phil has over 30 years of mining experience and has a track record of successfully developing and operating mining projects.
Also present is Kylie Anderson, our Company Secretary and Mr. Anthony Whyte, representing our auditor BDO.
As you know Denis Wood has been a significant supporter and contributor to KGL resigned from the Executive Chairman’s role in March 2024 due to health reasons. Unfortunately, Denis is not able to attend today however he has always been and continues to be a great support.
I want to also recognise the significant contribution made by Kylie as interim CEO, replacing Denis until Philip was appointed, to maintain our focus on the employees, upgrading our safety program, the exploration program and the activities to update the Feasibility Study during that time.
The success of the company can be attributed to these key people and the employees that have supported them.
KGL has continued to progress the Jervois Project since the maiden Feasibility Study was released in November 2022. This includes continued drilling activities to upgrade the Resource and Reserves statements and re-scheduling and updating the Feasibility Study.
As you would be aware, the Jervois project is highly leveraged to the Australian dollar price of copper. Analysts continue to be bullish on the copper demand, their future price expectations are generally 1½ - 2 times higher than historical levels to incentise production to meet demand expectations.
The copper price over 2024 has been a continual consideration to provide a signal for the development of the Jervois Project. To date we have seen peaks above US$5 per lb however these have generally been short lived.
Although supply chains have recovered from the past few years, local impacts such as hyperinflation, interest rates and labour availability remain sticky.
Key copper demand drivers such as geopolitics and growth in key consuming nations together with commitments to carbon reduction targets and net zero initiatives, continue to be variable in the outlook.
Existing miners and scrap merchants are expected to respond to demand increases albeit their overall ability is expected to dimmish as grades fall and the cost of production increases. I expects that whilst these uncertainties prevail the price response will continue to be subdued, but also volatile.
KGL is acutely aware that to maximise shareholder value we need to be ready and able. Involving Tier 1 contracts for capital management, project construction and operations and stable offtake are key.
KGL is positioning the Jervois project to be development ready to capture the higher prices and margin as the demand grows. Its not about if the demand and price escalates but rather when. In the meantime, our exploration successes, our ability to mitigate the project risks and the preparation we do are our priorities for this long term success in creating value for our shareholders.
Finally, I am very pleased with our continued safety and environmental performance to date and see these aspects of our business as a precursor to delivering a world class project. I will now handover to Philip cover in more detail on these important aspects of our business which include our exploration achievements and 2024 Resource upgrade, Exploration planning and Feasibility Study Update.
CEO’s Presentation
Good morning, everyone. Today, I am very pleased to be presenting a review of the KGL activity and achievements for 2024 and our aims for 2025.
First of all, I’d like to briefly introduce myself. I won’t go into all the detail of the last 35 years or so, but in summary my background is development and operation of open cut and underground hard rock mining operations in copper (base metals) and precious metals in Australia, Indonesia, middle east and Africa. And indeed, it is because of my background that I am attracted to KGL and the Jervois copper project. I first started my career in the mining industry at the CSA underground copper mine in Cobar, western NSW. A mine that was started in 1965 and is still going to this day. I see some strong similarities between the very successful and long-lived CSA copper mine and the Jervois copper project. One of the most attractive things about the project in a general sense is the average grade of the resource. Many people say ‘cash is king’ in business and rightly so. In mining grade is king, which is one of the many attractive aspects of this project.
I’d also like to acknowledge and thank the hard-working KGL team for your support and assistance over the last 4 months or so, and your ongoing support into the future.
2024 has been a year of significant steps forward for KGL. Our Jervois project, located around 380km North-East of Alice Springs along the Plenty Highway, now boasts a robust 27.45 million tonne resource grading 1.87% copper. This represents 513,400 tonnes of contained copper, which makes it a true standout among its peer group. With comprehensive regulatory approvals secured, engineered solutions in place for all key infrastructure, and with ongoing prospective exploration potential, we are well positioned to transform this high-grade project into a profitable mine.
The project is positioned along the crustal-scale Jervois Fault with a unique mineralisation style blending SEDEX and IOCG characteristics. Exploration results to date demonstrate the rationale for pursuing a systematic approach to unlocking this project's immense value. More details are in the appendix of this presentation download.
Our 2024 exploration program drilled a total of 75 holes for 23,037 metres, targeting Rockface, Reward Deeps, and Marshall. Roughly 90% of all drilling, in terms of metres, was diamond core drilling, with the remainder being RC. Our methodical approach has yielded positive outcomes, adding 4.1 million tonnes to the underground resource, driving the increased resource to 27.45 million tonnes. Importantly, the program enhanced geological understanding and improved resource categorisation and confidence in mineralisation continuity at depth.
The Mineral Resource Estimate for the Jervois Project has increased by 17.4% from 23.37Mt to 27.45Mt. This was accompanied by a marginal reduction in the copper grade from 2.02% to 1.87%, reflecting improvements in the copper price and outlook. A notable feature of the new resource is the growth of the underground resource, which has increased by 4.1million tonnes, a 26.4% improvement from that previously reported. Contained copper, silver and gold have increased by 42.7Kt, 2.8Moz and 22.4Koz respectively.
As a result of this, we are pleased to have passed an important threshold of half a million tonnes of contained copper, increasing from 472,000 tonnes to 513,000 tonnes. Contained Silver and gold also increased to 22.4Moz (+14.7%) and 215Koz (+11.3%) respectively, which will provide meaningful byproduct credits.
Our Reward Resource of 15.1 million tonnes at 1.65% copper represents an asset of significant value. Recent drilling has substantially enhanced our geological confidence, and
with the conductor remaining open at depth and with compelling exploration potential surrounding the project, Reward has scope to grow further yet.
The Rockface resource of 5.26 million tonnes at an exceptional 2.5% copper grade represents another high-value strategic asset. There is good exploration potential here as well with the conductor also open at depth.
The current development plans include two open pit mines and three underground mines. The open pit operations will utilise conventional earthmoving equipment, and the underground mines will use long hole stoping mining methods.
The plant will utilise a conventional crushing, SAG and ball mill comminution circuit and energy efficient Jameson Cell technology in the flotation circuit. The process plant capacity has been designed to handle 2 million tonnes per annum, which could achieve a target of 30ktpa in copper concentrate. This would have a 27% copper content as well as additional gold and silver credits and would be transported by road to the Mt Isa smelter for further processing.
Supporting infrastructure includes a substantial accommodation camp with capacity for 250-300 rooms to house mining personnel, water pipeline, power plant with considerations for incorporating renewable energy options, airstrip and comprehensive telecommunications systems to ensure efficient operation and communication across the project site.
We intend to update the mine plan, as a result of the latest Mineral Resource Estimate. We are also in the process of engaging an Independent Technical Review (ITR) to review Capex and Open Cut estimates and then the Underground estimates based on a revised underground mine plan. We will also continue to work with contractors to further improve and optimise the contracting costs and look forward to updating investors on the outcomes. An Independent Technical Review will initially be carried out on the
completed components of the FSU whilst the UG mine plan and schedule are revised reflective of the newly released resource, The ITR will then verify the UG component of the FSU to complete the ITR. Once the FSU and the ITR are fully completed the FSU will be released in its entirety.
As well as optimising the feasibility study to incorporate the increased resource, the company continues to aim to grow the resource further. The Company is currently reviewing the exploration results for 2024 including the enhanced geological data gained from the deep drilling and geophysical data (DHEM, gravity, etc), to develop an exploration plan for 2025. This plan will be completed for approval before the end of the year.
KGL has a number of critical near-term workflows on its way to becoming a producer, which include FSU, ITR, project funding, and making a Final Investment Decision subject to market conditions. We also intend to initiate early works, focus on operational readiness, and continue the exploration program aimed at increasing reserves and extending the mine's operational life.
To leave you with a summary of why we believe KGL represents such a compelling investment opportunity today, Jervois is a significant high-grade copper project with completed approvals and an offtake agreement with Glencore. Driven by an experienced team, the project offers a pure ASX copper exposure, that stands to leverage strong medium-term market fundamentals. The Jervois copper project is, in my opinion one of the most attractive copper investment opportunities in Australia at present.
Chairman’s Closing Comments
I want to thank the Jervois stakeholders, in particular the Central Lands Council, Bonya community Lucy Creek and Jervois Station pastoralists and the Northern Territory government for their ongoing support and I know they are looking forward to helping us deliver the Jervois copper project. I also acknowledge the native title holders with whom we negotiated an indigenous land use agreement in 2016.
I’d like to thank our employees for their contributions and look forward to making significant progress over the next 12 months.
And my sincere thanks to you, our loyal shareholders, for your patience and confidence in the company.
KGL holds one of the few high-grade copper projects with significant silver and gold byproducts, in Australia, that can deliver a positive outcome for our investors. In addition, the project has all key approvals to proceed, when market conditions improve.
Whilst we believe the company is trading at a substantial discount to its inherent value, we have ensured shareholders have the opportunity to participate in any capital raising as we continue to progress the Jervois Project.
We will continue to look at growth strategies to maximise the values of the company and continue to upgrade the planning to deliver a financially robust project, on time and on budget. We remain acutely aware of how we operate and recognise the enormous support of all existing shareholders.

Pathway Forward
Feasibility study completion and ITE review
-
Optimise Capex/Opex: Improve the project construction and operating assumptions since delivering a Feasibility Study (Nov 2022) to mitigate delivery risk, reduce time to construct and optimise capital intensity.
-
Complete Feasibility Study Update following Independent Technical Expert review.
-
Goal of first production in 2027.
Resource growth
-
Focus on increasing the quality and size of the Jervois Resource.
-
Ongoing drilling to upgrade high-grade sulphide Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources, aiming to ultimately bring these areas into the Reserve.
-
Potential for resource expansion as orebodies remain open at depth and along strike.
-
Grow Production Tonnages: Upgrade O/C & U/G mine design to reflect 25% increase in maximum processing capacity.
Annual General Meeting | November 2024 | ASX:KGL
Exploration potential
-
Highly prospective due to association with large crustal scale fault which acted as a plumbing system for mineralising oreforming fluids.
-
Mineralization open at depth and along strike from existing deposits / pits.
-
Geophysics and Gravity and Magnetic Inversion Analysis has identified several high potential near mine and brownfield exploration targets.
