Geophysical survey highlights target areas at Bynoe

Highlights

  • Magnetic, radiometric and aster data combined to generate new target areas

  • Three main areas highlighted for additional work

  • Drilling approvals in place for Cai, Lei, Bao, Liana and Min prospects

Kingston Resources (ASX:KSN) is pleased to announce the initial results of an airborne geophysical survey at Bynoe (Figure 1), flown in collaboration with Liontown Resources Ltd and Core Exploration Ltd (refer ASX announcement 10 January 2017). Kingston had the aeromagnetic and radiometric data interpreted by Southern Geoscience Consultants in conjunction with available Aster data to produce a series of structural and radiometric targets. This information will now be used to prioritise ongoing soil geochemistry programs and drill targeting.

The interpretation has highlighted targets for on-ground testing in three areas:

  1. EL31133: four structural and radiometric targets. The radiometric targets correspond with known pegmatite outcrops, are close to a known lithium-in-soil anomaly (Cai) that is scheduled for drill testing in the upcoming RC program, and are along strike from Core Exploration’s Grants and Far West lithium discoveries.

  2. EL31091: seven radiometric targets, one of which is adjacent to a lithium-insoil anomaly (Lei) that is scheduled for drill testing in the upcoming RC program. The other target areas are yet to be tested.

  3. EL31151: six radiometric targets in and around a series of structural targets, in an area which has not yet been tested by soil sampling. This area is adjacent to Core Exploration’s Ringwood prospect (Figure 2).

Kingston has received approvals for three RC drilling programs at Bynoe. An initial program of between 3000 - 4000m of RC drilling is scheduled to commence once the seasonal rains have finished. Targets identified by Kingston’s prior surface sampling have been further refined by the recently completed geophysical interpretation to prioritise phase one drill targets.

“This has been a valuable collaborative geophysical program between the active lithium exploration companies at Bynoe”, commented Kingston’s Managing Director Andrew Corbett. “The interpretive work has highlighted areas for us to test with additional geochemistry, and we’re looking forward to starting our RC program as soon as the dry season begins”.

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. In addition, the Livingstone Gold Project holds a 50koz inferred resource and is the site of a number of high grade historic intersections. The company is well funded to rapidly advance its exploration projects, with the initial focus being the Mt Cattlin, Bynoe, and Arunta lithium projects, alongside commencement of work on the Livingstone Gold Project.

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 in the form and context in which it appear.
