ASX Announcement 4 August 2015

POSITIVE FIRST PASS EXPLORATION RESULTS

Kingsrose Mining Limited (“Kingsrose Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that it has completed an initial first pass exploration orientation-drilling program of three holes at the Talang Toha prospect and one hole at the Mitra Jaya prospect, part of the Way Linggo Project. The drilling was designed to test the geology in the vicinity of the anomalies defined by soil geochemistry at both prospects.

Initial results at Talang Toha have been very encouraging with the first hole (DDH-417) testing the blind mineralisation returning 1.55m @ 7.23 g/t Au and 6.82 g/t Ag from 65 metres down hole in a brecciated clay quartz zone with geology similar to the recent holes drilled near surface above the proximal Talang Santo deposit (Refer to Plate 1). A review of the results including a hole drilled below DDH-417 which intersected altered andesitic volcanics and the fact that the intersection in DDH-417 was encountered much earlier than anticipated indicates the mineralised structure may be in a different orientation. Whilst it is still at an early stage, it is considered very encouraging as it represents one of the most significant intersections outside of the known mineralisation.

Plate 1 – DDH-417

The preliminary stratigraphic hole at Mitra Jaya was targeting a potential source of the near surface gold anomalism identified by soils and trenching. The hole did not return any indications of primary mineralisation and has refocused efforts in understanding the fluid pathway for the silicified cap which appears to be spatially related to the broad zone of gold anomalism which has been identified and potentially related to a feeder zone from deeper mineralisation.

A review of the results is being undertaken prior to planning the next phase of drilling. Project scale geochemical sampling is continuing at other priority targets which is intended to increase the target inventory once the work is completed.

Project Update

Talang Santo

Development on the 4 Level advanced 229m in July comprising 174m of horizontal development and 55m of vertical development which is required for the establishment of stoping blocks. Delays in advance were experienced relating to the influx of water directly at the working faces. Lateral development directly to the East and West remains a priority as the primary source of water inflow is directly at the extremities of the ore body (Refer to Figure 1). The total volume of water on the Level has been and continues to be pumped from the mine with production areas currently being established in the central areas where water rates have been reduced as a result of drawdown.

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
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 1m samples from which 3kg was pulverised to
produce a 30g 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.
 This Table 1 relates to sampling by diamond drilling, face sampling,
float sampling and rock chip sampling. Sample intervals are designed
to honour geological boundaries.
 Core is aligned and measured by tape, referenced to downhole core
blocks.
 Diamond drilling and face sampling are completed to industry
standard using various sampling intervals (0.1m to 1.5m) domained
by geological constraints (e.g. Rock types, veining and
alteration/sulphidation).
 Rock chip samples are collected by hand using a rock hammer with
multiple pieces of rock collected at one location for each sample.
 Rock chip sample locations are picked up by a handheld GPS. Sample
rock types were recorded where the rock was identifiable.
 Rock chip samples are collected directly from the rock. Samples taken
were dry.
 Rock chip and float chip samples are inherently variable and do not
accurately represent the average grade of the surrounding rock. Rock
chip and float samples are used as a non-quantitative guide for
assessing prospectivity hence are regarded as suitable for this
purpose.
 Diamond drilling samples are crushed and pulverised to create a 30g
charge for fire assay lead collection followed by flame atomic
adsorption spectrometry. Analysis for silver is via gamma ray
spectrometry.
 Face samples are analysed for gold and silver via an aqua regia
digestion of a 30g charge with an atomic absorption spectrometry
(AAS) finish.
 Float rock samples are taken from the surface and not from in-situ
outcrop.
 Float rock sample locations are picked up by hand-held GPS and
sample description take to be reviewed in conjunction with other
geological data. This includes vein type and host/country rock.
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-samplingbit or other type,whether core is oriented and
 Underground diamond drill core. Several core sizes are used:
NQ (47.6mm nominal core diameter).

==> picture [73 x 45] intentionally omitted <==

if so, by what method, etc). HQ (63.5mm nominal core diameter).
PQ (85.0mm nominal core diameter).
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 drill recoveries are recorded as a percentage of measured
core against downhole drilled intervals. Achieved ≈90% recoveries.
 Standard drilling practice used to ensure maximum core recoveries.
 A documented relationship between core recoveries and grade has
not yet been established although core loss occurred in some of the
high-grade intersections due to the friable nature of the vein
material.
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.
 Core logging is conducted by PT. Natarang Mining (“PTNM”)
geologists, who delineate intervals on geological, structural,
alteration and/or mineralogical boundaries, to industry standard.
 Logging is qualitative and all core is photographed. Rock types,
veining and alteration/sulphidation are all recorded.
 100% of drill core is logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
 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 sub-sampling
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.
 Core is cut by diamond saw and half core used for sampling, the
remaining half is archived. For gouge, soft and friable core a knife
splitter is used to halve the core.
 Face chips are nominally chipped horizontally across the face from
left to right, sub set by geological features.
 The nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique is deemed adequate.
 Duplicate samples are not routinely sampled.
 External laboratories coarse duplicates are used.
 Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the grain size of the
material being sampled.
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory
tests
 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.
 Gold concentration in diamond drilling samples is determined by fire
assay lead collection followed by flame atomic adsorption
spectrometry, and is considered to be total gold. Analysis for silver is
via gamma ray spectrometry, and is considered total silver.
 Gold and silver concentrations in face samples is determined by aqua
regia digestion with an AAS finish, and is considered to be total gold.
 Geophysical tools etc are not applicable to this report.
 One in 25 (1:25) drill core coarse duplicates are sent to an external
laboratory, PT Intertek Utama Services, as part of quality control
testing.
 The QAQC protocols used include the following:
 Commercial blanks are used at an incidence of 1 in 10 samples.
 Drill core coarse duplicates are sent to an external laboratory, PT
Intertek Utama Services, at an incidence of 1 in 25 samples.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
 The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
 The use of twinned holes.
 Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
 Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
 Significant intersections were reviewed by senior exploration geology
and mining geology managers from PTNM and by Kingsrose Mining
Limited (“KRM”) personnel.
 Twinned holes have not been used to date as they are not considered
necessary.
 Data is manually checked by PTNM staff geologists prior to input into
excel for transfer to an access database.
 Hard copies of face sampling, core log sheets, surveys and assay
results are stored on site.

==> picture [73 x 45] intentionally omitted <==

 No adjustment is made to any assay data.
Location of
data points
 Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
 Specification of the grid system used.
 Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
 Surface diamond holes are set-out and picked-up by the site survey
team using a Leica TGRA+1203 total station.
 Exploration drillholes are surveyed with Sure-Shot digital downhole
camera at nominally fifty metre intervals.
 Rock chip sample locations were recorded using a handheld GPS.
Elevation values were in AHD RL and values recorded within the
database. Expected accuracy is + or – 5m for easting, northing and
10m for elevation coordinates.
 The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system is used. No local
grid system is used at Talang Santo Mine.
 Topographic data is not relevant to the underground mine. For
general use remote sensing data with the incorporation of local scale
topographic surfaces, collected by the site survey team, is used.
Data spacing
and
distribution
 Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
 Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
 Whether sample compositing has been applied.
 Exploration result data spacing can be highly variable, as little as 5m
and up to 100m.
 Data spacing and distribution is considered sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource estimation and classifications applied.
 Sampling is based on geological intervals. Compositing is not applied
until estimation stage.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
 Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this
is known, considering the deposit type.
 If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and
reported if material.
 Intercept angles are generally of suitable orientation (40° to 90°) to
the vein system to provide unbiased sampling results. Development
openings on strike of the vein system confirm this.
 The rock chip sampling method is used to provide a surface sample
only.
 Generally drilling orientation is not considered to introduce a
sampling bias due to the relatively high (40° to 90°) intercept angles.
Sample
security
 The measures taken to ensure sample security.  Samples retrieved from drilling are stored securely in a locked facility
patrolled by onsite security. Samples are then logged, cut and stored
in numbered sample bags for transported by PTNM employees to the
ISO17025 accredited onsite assay laboratory operated by PT.
Geoservices Geo-assay Laboratory.
Audits or
reviews
 The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques
and data.
 Independent review conducted in 2011 which resulted in work
practices being modified and brought in line with industry standards.
 Data handling and management is performed by PTNM geologists
and is to industry standard.
 Data is stored in an access database.

Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
 Type, reference name/number, location and ownership
including agreements or material issues with third parties
such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.
 The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along
with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area
 Tenure is occasioned via a fourth generation Contract of Work (CoW)
held by PTNM.
 PTNM is 85% owned by KRM with the remaining 15% interest held by
an Indonesian national.
 The mine, mill and camp area are all located within agricultural land
that produces primarily coffee and cocoa.
 Good relations with local community.
 CoW is valid until 2034.
Exploration
done byother
 Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
 All exploration at the Way Linggo Project has been completed by

parties PTNM/KRM.
Geology  Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.  The Talang Santo deposit is an epithermal gold / silver deposit.
Mineralisation is hosted within a vein system of brecciated parallel
quartz veins with a dominantly clay supported matrix which also
contains clay altered volcanic fragments.
Drill hole
Information
 A summary of all information material to the understanding
of the exploration results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drill holes:
o
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o
dip and azimuth of the hole
o
down hole length and interception depth
o
hole length.
 If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis
that the information is not Material and this exclusion does
not detract from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearlyexplain whythis is the case.
 All material data is periodically released to the ASX.
Data
aggregation
methods
 In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations
(eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
 Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.
 The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearlystated.
 All reported assay results have been length weighted to provide an
intersection width. A maximum of 2m of barren material between
mineralised samples has been permitted in the calculation of these
widths.
 No assay results have been top-cut for the purpose of this report. A
lower cut off grade of 2gpt has been used to identify significant
results, although lower results are included where a known ore zone
has been intercepted, and the entire intercept is low grade.
 No metal equivalents are reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
 These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
 If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill
hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
 If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg
‘down hole length, true width not known’).
 Exploration results report estimated true width.
 Due to the complex nature of the mineralisation geometry and
varying intercept angles the true width is manually estimated on a
hole by hole basis.
 Exploration results are reported with both true width and down hole
lengths.
Diagrams  Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations
of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery
being reported These should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
 Refer to Plate 1 & Figure 1 in this release.
Balanced
reporting
 Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is
not practicable, representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid
misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
 Diamond drilling results are attached to this ASX release.
 All material data is periodically released to the ASX, including
representative reporting of exploration results.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
 Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be
reported including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious
or contaminatingsubstances.
 No other exploration data is considered meaningful and material to
this announcement.
Further work  The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for
lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).
 Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
 Diamond drilling will continue as required for grade control and
resource development.
