Kingston Resources Limited (ASX:KSN) (the Company or Kingston) is pleased to provide an update on its exploration programs at its Bynoe Project (Figure 1). Kingston has eight granted tenements for a total of 188km[2] within the Bynoe lithium province where lithium (spodumene) mineralisation has recently been identified by neighbouring explorers.
KSN geochemical surveys
Since tenement granting in September Kingston has completed geochemical surveys over four tenements within the Bynoe Project. This program has identified six targets (Figure 1) which have been prioritised for an initial drilling program.
The targets are located within the lithium bearing pegmatite trend, comprising outcropping or sub-cropping pegmatites with a combination of historical tintantalum workings (Liana and Ah Bung) and newly identified lithium in soil anomalies (Cai, Figure 2). The Bao, Lei and Min Prospects have also been identified as outcropping pegmatites and will be the focus of ongoing work. Numerous other pegmatites within Kingston’s tenements have also been identified and will be the subject of future work programs.

MMPs for drilling the priority targets have been submitted, and once approved will allow the Company to undertake its initial RC drilling program. This is anticipated to be in the April quarter 2017, at the commencement of the next drilling season (post wet season). Ahead of drilling, Kingston will be conducting an aeromagnetic survey to further identify and refine targets.
Kingston MD Andrew Corbett commented “We are very pleased to have rapidly advanced our Bynoe Project from tenement granting to preparation for drilling within two months. The Bynoe region is fast becoming a significant new lithium opportunity for Australia which Kingston is excited to be part of, the scale of the Bynoe pegmatite field and access to regional infrastructure provides a unique advantage.”

About Kingston Resources
Kingston Resources is a metals exploration company. The Company holds an attractive portfolio of lithium exploration tenements covering four key project areas. In Western Australia, the Mt Cattlin and Greenbushes projects are adjacent or near existing lithium mines. In the Northern Territory, the Bynoe project area is home to some exciting new discoveries and the Arunta project lies within a significant pegmatite field. The Company is well funded to rapidly advance its exploration projects, with the initial focus being the Mt Cattlin, Bynoe, and Arunta lithium projects.
Competent Persons Statement
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Reserves is based on information compiled by Mr Andrew Paterson, who is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Paterson is a full-time employee of the Company and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity he is undertaking to qualify as a competent person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves” (JORC Code). Mr Paterson consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based upon the information.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| 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 1 m samples from which 3 kg was 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. |
Kingston Resources Ltd (KSN) has collected surface soil samples from target areas from within EL31091, EL31133, EL31092 and EL31151. The samples were sieved to <2.5mm and collected using hand tools (shovels) in 200m * 50m grids with 50m * 50m infilled areas. 679 samples have been collected and assayed during these sampling programs. A selected area of samples from the eastern side of EL31133 (Cai Prospect) is displayed in figure 2. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| 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. |
These results are from within Kingston Resources Ltd’s Bynoe Project which comprises 8 granted tenements and 4 tenement application 100% owned by Kingston through the subsidiary Slipstream WANT Pty Ltd (see figure 1). |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | Previous exploration of pegmatite hosted mineralization has occurred in the Bynoe region predominantly through historical small scale mine workings targeting Sn ± Ta and through regional recent RC drilling programs by Core Exploration and Liontown Resources. Within KSN’s target areas only historical workings and sparsely selected rock chip samples (pegmatite + host rock) have previously been undertaken. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | KSN is targeting any potential mineralization within the outcropping pegmatites within the Bynoe Project. The mineralization style is expected to be pegmatite hosted hard rock Sn + W + Ta + Li. The age and sources of the different pegmatite bodies in the area is thought to be Palaeoproterozoic. |
