ASX Announcement 10 May 2021

Kingsrose Mining Reports 5.8 Metres at 13.6 g/t Gold and 64.2 g/t Silver Continued Expansion of the Talang Santo Deposit

Kingsrose Mining Limited (ASX: KRM) (“ Kingsrose ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce further drilling results from the Talang Santo deposit within its Way Linggo Project in Indonesia.

The results extend high-grade gold-silver mineralisation up to 175 metres down plunge of the current reported Mineral Resources.

Highlights

  • DDH-594 returned:

  • 5.8 metres at 13.6 g/t gold and 64.2 g/t silver (downhole) from 443.35 metres, 175 metres beneath the current reported Mineral Resources for Talang Santo

  • including 0.5 metres at 120 g/t gold and 564 g/t silver demonstrating the occurrence of very highgrade mineralising events

  • DDH-594 expands the plunging, high-grade gold zone identified in recent drilling, intersecting mineralisation 100 metres down plunge of DDH-590 which returned 4.2 metres at 11.98 g/t gold (refer to Company’s ASX Announcement dated 21 January 2021), and mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike

  • DDH-593 did not return significant mineralisation from the Mawi Vein and is interpreted to have been drilled adjacent to the plunging high-grade gold zone

  • DDH-593 did return 0.7 metres at 6.1 g/t gold from 291.30 metres that represents a separate vein and additional exploration target

Results for drill holes DDH-593 and DDH-594 are summarised in Table 1. Figure 1 is a plan view of the drill hole traces and Figure 2 shows the locations of drill hole intersections on the long section of the Talang Santo Mawi Vein.

The Company is reviewing these results, and developments from its ongoing regional exploration programme in order to plan the next phase of drilling within the Way Linggo Project.

Fabian Baker, CEO of Kingsrose, commented: “Our approach to exploration is now aimed at discovering a gold resource of scale. As such, we have stepped the drilling out further than previous programmes and it is encouraging that we continue to expand known mineralisation at Talang Santo well beyond the limits of the current Mineral Resource Estimate. The presence of very high-grade mineralising events including 0.5 metres at 120 grammes per tonne gold and 564 grammes per tonne silver in drill hole DDH-594 demonstrates the significant potential for further discoveries within our 100 square kilometre Contract of Work, where we are currently conducting a large ongoing exploration programme.”

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Drilling
techniques
Drill sample
recovery

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 is used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg is 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.

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).

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.

This Table 1 relates to sampling by diamond drilling,
Sampling is according to geological intervals.

Diamond Core, where used is aligned and measured by
tape, referenced to downhole core blocks. Sampling is
according to geological intervals.

Diamond drilling, and sampling were performed to
industry standards. Samples were taken by geological
intervals, taken in such a way the sample length is generally
targeting 1m or smaller. Diamond core is split onsite and
half submitted for crushing, pulverisation and ultimately
analysis at commercial assay laboratories.

The samples are core samples from diamond drill holes.

Diamond drill recoveries are recorded as a percentage of
measured core against downhole drilled run length
intervals in industry standard way.

A relationship between core recoveries and grade has not
been established. However, it is postulated that core loss
occurred in some of the mineralised diamond drilling
intersections due to the friable nature of some material. It
is further postulated that this effect may cause some level
of under call in the diamond core drilling.
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.

Core logging is conducted by PT. Natarang Mining
(“PTNM”)
geologists,
who
delineate
intervals
on
geological, structural, alteration and/or mineralogical
boundaries, to industry standard.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative
in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

Logging is qualitative and most core is photographed. Rock
types, veining and alteration are all recorded.

All 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 manual knife (or similar device) is used
to approximately halve the core.

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique is typical for mineralisation.

The competent person is not aware of any work taken to
maximise the representativeness of the sample.

Duplicate samples are not routinely sampled.

The sample size far exceeds the grain size of the precious
metals, which are generally microscopic. Sample sizes are
appropriate.
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: fusion with lead collection, aqua
regia prill digestion, followed by atomic adsorption
spectrometry (AAS). Analysis for silver in diamond drilling
is acid digestion of sample pulp followed by inductively
coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICPOES).
Analysis is considered total for fire assay and near total for
all other assay types of both silver and gold.

Geophysical tools etc are not applicable to this report.
None Used.

Acceptable QAQC - blanks and standards have been
routinely inserted into assay batches and interlab checks
have been performed.
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.

Twinned holes have not been used.

Talang Santo is best described as a working, manually
administered, database. It has evolved from a MS-Access
database with manual entry into a more automated
custom database for the 2019/2020 drilling. Hardcopy
data, and/or PDF equivalent, is available for review.

No adjustment is made to assay data.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.

Drillhole collars are surveyed using industry standard
survey techniques and equipment. Drillholes have been
downhole surveyed with digital downhole camera at
average fifty metre intervals, however historically this
could get up to over 100m survey intervals, whereas 2019-
2021 drilling is generally at 25m intervals.

The Talang Santo deposit operates on a local grid utilising
total station methods and conventional baseline control.
This grid is nominally aligned to UTM WGS 84 -48S, with
unknown veracity.

The Talang Santo deposit is within and proximal to a
recently operating open cut mine. Topographical control is
provided by conventional modern survey techniques and is
adequate for purpose.
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.

Data spacing is variable. In the centre, previously mined
portions of the deposit have face sampling at an effective
density of circa 5x5m, in the plane of the structure. At the
periphery of the Mineral Resource Estimate, exploration
spacing is circa 50mx50m, in the plane of the structure.

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.

The orientation of the vein system is known,and drilling
intercept angles are generally of suitable orientation to the
vein system to provide unbiased sampling results. The
drilling and sampling orientation are not considered to
introduce a sampling bias.
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 onsite assay
laboratory.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

PTNM has worked with various independent consultants to
design its drilling and sampling methodologies and
continually reviews and improves its processes and
procedures.

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 clearly explain why
this is the case.

New drillhole information is being presented in this
release

All information is tabulated in Table 1 to this release
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.

Gold and silver grades for reported intervals summarised in
Table 1 are calculated by interval length weighted averaging.

Metal Equivalent grades are not stated

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

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 clearly
stated.
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’).

Intervals reported here are downhole lengths. True widths are
not known.

The geometry of the Talang Santo Vein system is known and drill
hole are oriented approximately perpendicular to the strike of
the mineralised system.
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.

Figure 2 presents a long section showing locations of the drill
hole intersections.
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.

Downhole interval lengths are clearly stated in Table 1 to this
release
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
contaminating
substances.

No other exploration information is being presented in this
release.
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.

This release reports results from the eight drill holes of a
programme designed to identify extensions to known high
grade mineralisation to be targeted for future resource
expansion.
