Dear Shareholder
Replacement Prospectus for Renounceable pro rata entitlement offer
Further to our letter of 3 August 2015, Kingston Resources Limited ( Company ) has issued a replacement prospectus dated 6 August 2015 ( Prospectus ) to replace the prospectus dated 30 July 2015. The original prospectus was replaced in order to extend the Record Date from Monday, 10 August 2015 to Thursday, 13 August 2015, and to include information with respect to the securing of sub-underwriting positions.
Pursuant to the Prospectus the Company is conducting a four (4) for five (5) non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer at an issue price of 2.0 cents per share, with one (1) free attaching option exercisable at 4.0 cents each on or before 30 June 2019 for every two (2) shares issued to raise approximately $2,349,783 before expenses ( Offer ).
The funds raised will be used to underpin the next phase of exploration and evaluation of the exciting Six Mile Hill Project in South Australia, to undertake drilling at the Cootanoorina project and further evaluate the Hiltaba project as well as for costs of the Offer and for general working capital purposes.
In accordance with the requirements of section 713 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) the Company lodged a replacement prospectus for the Offer ( Prospectus ) with the Australian Securities Investment Commission ( ASIC ) and ASX on 6 August 2015. The Prospectus will be despatched to all Eligible Shareholders, together with an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, on 14 August 2015. If you are eligible and wish to participate, please read the Prospectus when you receive it and carefully follow the instructions.

A maximum of 117,489,129 New Shares will be issued under the Offer. This number excludes shares which may be issued in the event that an option holder elects to exercise their right to convert their securities to ordinary shares prior to the Record Date. This number is also subject to a final reconciliation and rounding of entitlements.
-
The Offer is expected to close at 3.00pm Perth time on Tuesday, 25 August 2015 ( Closing Date ).
-
After completion of the Offer, the Company will have up to 264,350,540 ordinary shares on issue (assuming that no Options are exercised prior to the Record Date), all of which will be quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ). The Company will also have 113,071,833 options on issue (excluding any options that may be issued independently of the Offer).
-
As a non-renounceable entitlement offer, rights are not tradeable on the ASX or otherwise transferable.

New Shares will rank equally with the Company’s existing fully paid ordinary shares.
-
Shareholder approval of the Offer is not required.
-
Fractions of entitlements to New Shares will be rounded down.
-
The Offer will be undertaken with a prospectus in accordance with section 713 of the Corporations Act.
-
The Offer is fully underwritten by Pinnacle.Alignment Capital Pty Ltd ( Lead Manager ), has secured firm commitments from investors to sub-underwrite the full amount of the Offer. However, the Underwriter may still terminate the Underwriting Agreement if for any reason the sub-underwriting commitments are not to its satisfaction. The Underwriter’s obligation to underwrite the Offer is therefore effectively conditional upon the Underwriter being satisfied with the sub-underwriting commitments.
-
The Directors in conjunction with the Lead Manager reserve the right to place some or all of any shortfall to the Offer at their absolute discretion. Eligible Shareholders may not apply for additional New Shares that may form part of the shortfall.
-
