The acquisition represents a unique opportunity for Kingston to accelerate its transition to an operating mining company. The Mineral Hill Mine includes two processing circuits, current gold production, a number of developed polymetallic deposits and extensive exploration upside.
With first gold poured in September, Mineral Hill is currently ramping up production from the processing of existing tailings. Production is forecast to total 40,000 ounces at an average all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of A$1,550-1,650/oz over 29 months. The operation is expected to deliver positive free cash-flow by early 2022.
The tailings processing operation will provide a solid foundation for Kingston to unlock the broader potential of the Mineral Hill asset, with minimal capital required to access several production-ready open pit and underground deposits. These near-term production opportunities include the Pearse and Pearse North deposits, the Southern Ore Zone and the Parkers Hill deposit. In addition, there are a large number of advanced exploration targets across the broader tenement package which the Company intends to pursue aggressively.
Kingston has an exploration and development program in place from which it intends to re-establish mine production from the existing reserve and resource base following completion of the tailings processing operation anticipated in late 2023.
Under the terms of the acquisition, Kingston has agreed to pay Quintana a combination of upfront cash and shares, deferred cash payments, and a 2% royalty over production. The consideration is comprised of:
-
US$1.0m (A$1.3m) upfront cash
-
US$8.0m (A$10.7m) upfront equity
-
Deferred consideration based on the following milestones:
-
US$1.5m (A$2.0m) cash payment upon production of 15,000oz of gold
-
US$2.0m (A$2.7m) cash payment upon production of 22,500oz of gold
-
US$3.5m (A$4.7m) cash payment upon production of 30,000oz of gold
-
US$1.0m (A$1.3m) cash payment upon the earlier of production of 37,500oz of gold or the 31 December 2023
-
A 2% NSR over future mine production from the Mineral Hill project area
Kingston intends to fund the Transaction through a A$14.0 million placement (Equity Raising) and a A$4.0 million Share Purchase Plan (see details below). The proceeds of the Equity Raising, together with existing cash reserves of approximately A$5 million, will be used to complete the acquisition, fund associated transaction costs and environmental bonds, provide working capital to continue the ramp-up in gold production, and fund the planned aggressive near-term exploration and development program. The funds raised will also contribute to the ongoing development activity at the Company’s Misima Gold Project.
Shareholder approval will be required in respect of the issuance of the consideration shares to Quintana – see details below. Accordingly, the acquisition of Mineral Hill is dependent on obtaining shareholder approval as well as customary terms and conditions. The company intends to defer its AGM from 25 November 2025 to 14 December 2021 to incorporate the shareholder approval required. A Supplementary NOM is expected to be distributed shortly with further details.
Kingston Resources Managing Director, Andrew Corbett, said: “The acquisition of Mineral Hill is a unique opportunity for Kingston shareholders. We are very excited to be able to acquire a fully-developed gold and copper project in a Tier-1 location that has recently restarted operations with immediate gold production. The attractive deal metrics, near-term cash-flow and significant gold and copper exposure make for a fantastic

strategic fit with our cornerstone asset, the 3.8Moz Misima Gold Project in PNG. Misima is a large-scale, long-life and low-cost development project which, combined with the near-term production profile and extensive exploration opportunities at Mineral Hill, provides Kingston with an ideal platform for growth.”
“Mineral Hill has a strong history of high-grade gold and copper production, a number of advanced brownfields exploration targets, an existing resource base and infrastructure which is expected to enable a low capital-intensity restart of existing development opportunities.
“The initial production will come from the re-processing of tailings on site, which is expected to be followed by a restart of both open pit and underground mining operations. The acquisition comes with an established operational team on site and a well-established mine plan, which means we can move forward quickly and efficiently at Mineral Hill while still progressing the Misima Definitive Feasibility Study and approvals program.
“Mineral Hill successfully operated from 1989 to 2004, producing 396koz of gold and 33kt of copper. Since the original mine closure in 2004, there has been limited exploration despite a number of outstanding drill results. We see exploration at Mineral Hill as one of the key pillars for our aspiration to become a leading diversified mid-tier gold and base metal producer in the Asia-Pacific region. Strategically, the processing plant is ideally located within the Cobar Basin to take advantage of both internal and external near-mine opportunities.”
Quintana Minerals President & COO, Xavier Ochoa, said :
“The Mineral Hill mine has had a significant operating history. Since 2018, when Quintana took over the property, our Australian operating team has accomplished excellent work to bring the mine back into operation in a staged manner with the CIL plant now fully refurbished and in commissioning to re-process onsite tailings with a high gold content. This same competent operating team, once the tailings re-processing is fully ramped up, will be capable of advancing to the next stage to capitalize on the significant mineral endowment of Mineral Hill by developing the known Pearce, Pearce North and Parker’s Hill open pits and various underground ore deposits, as well as exploring the site.
“Naturally for Quintana, being a US-based Company with operations in North America, having the opportunity to partner with an Australian-based operating company like Kingston through the sale of Mineral Hill and continuing as a stakeholder, through shares and royalties, will see a mutually beneficial opportunity to realize the full upside and potential of the asset.”
Immediate focus for Mineral Hill
Following completion of the Transaction, which is expected to occur in mid-to-late January 2022 the immediate focus will be to complete the production ramp up of the CIL circuit for the tailings re-processing. The current tailings mine plan involves the treatment of 1.7-1.8Mt @ 1.1g/t Au over 29 months, recovering 40,000oz of gold at an AISC of A$1550-1650/oz.
The production ramp-up is expected to take four months, targeting nameplate production early 2022. The targeted tailings throughput rate is 750,000tpa.
In addition, exploration drilling will commence within two months of completion focusing on the Pearse open pit targets and the Southern Ore Zone (SOZ) underground targets. The aim will be to provide an updated Resource base to underpin mine feasibility work and approvals to ensure an immediate transition to open pit and/or underground feed at the completion of the tailings reprocessing.

Tailings Re-Processing
The Mineral Hill TSF 1 project is designed to mine and treat 1.81Mt at 1.13g/t Au tailings predominantly from TSF1 with a projected recovery of approximately 61% LOM, producing approximately 40,000 recovered ounces of gold. The mine plan has subdivided TSF1 into seven production cells that will be sequentially mined in 2m flitches; using hydraulic Dragflow pumps mounted on excavators that have material pushed to them by a small dozer. The system is designed to deliver a sustained 100t of solids to the plant per hour. There are 44 personnel currently on site to support the operation, reflecting a full ramp up of employees to run the mining and processing operations.
Overview of Mineral Hill and Past Production History
The Mineral Hill mine (Figure 1) is located 65km north of Condobolin in central NSW and comprises 20 granted Mining Leases enclosed by a single Exploration Licence, EL1999. The tenement package covers a total area of some 340km[2] with additional exploration tenure adjacent to the primary project area (Walkers Hill Tenement EL8334). The Project is a 2-hour drive from either Dubbo or Parkes, both of which are serviced by daily flight options from Sydney.

==> picture [175 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
The Project lies in the western portion of the Lachlan Fold Belt at the juncture of two regionally important structures – the Gilmore Suture and the Lachlan Transfer Zone. Mineral Hill is an extensive geological system containing a number of high-grade, low-tonnage ore bodies.
The Mineral Hill Mine is an historic operating mine site which was placed on care and maintenance in 2016. The site consists of a number of exploration and development opportunities including several historic small open pit and underground operations and a number of exploration targets.
The area was first explored in 1894. The Project has been operated sporadically since that date, including most recently by Kimberley Metals Limited (KBL) in 2008, which undertook high-grade gold mining at the Pearse open pit, as well as the Parkers Hill and the Southern Ore Zone underground operations. The Project was subsequently acquired by Quintana in 2016 out of administration and placed on care and maintenance until the decision to advance the tailings re-processing operation was made in 2020.
Gold exploration and development, through the existing reserves at Pearse and Pearse North, the tailings re-processing project, and the extensive exploration portfolio, remain the core of the operations at the Project. In addition to gold, the Project offers exposure to other precious and base metals, including copper, zinc, lead and silver within several of the exploration and development targets.
The planned exploration and development program that Kingston intends to undertake is aiming to bring Pearse, Pearse North into production initially upon conclusion of the tailings re-processing. This would then be followed by the Southern Ore Zone. The Resource base across these operations totals 2.2Mt.
The Project hosts existing infrastructure, including an existing processing plant (Figure 2), access to grid power and public roads, which will help accelerate a restart to mining production delivering on Kingston's stated aims of becoming a gold producer.

Mineral Hill Production History
Under the ownership of ASX-listed Triako Resources Limited (1989-2005), 2.1Mt ore was treated at an average grade of 6.4g/t Au and 1.1% Cu, for the recovery of 20,000 tonnes of copper and 360,000 ounces of gold.
KBL acquired the project in 2009 and resumed production in September 2011. As at June 2016, KBL’s production at Mineral Hill totalled 12,498t copper, 3,566t lead, 1,472t zinc, 34,507oz gold and 615,160oz silver. Mineral Hill closed under KBL Mining in mid-2016, a result of a high debt burden and the mining operation being impacted by a pit wall failure and weather event at the Pearse open pit mine, this combination of factors resulted in KBL being placed into administration.
Exploration
In terms of modern exploration, Mineral Hill is considered highly under-explored and, while subject to extensive historical drilling, the recent discoveries of Pearse and Red Terror have highlighted the significant shallow potential with just 2% of drill-holes testing beyond 350m below surface. The average drill-hole depth is just 90m.

Conceptual Undercover Structural Targets – a number of early-stage conceptual exploration targets have been developed through an inferred structural architecture. These are largely related to untested zones beneath sequences of cover and include the Ashes West Graben, Q Fault Skarn and Parkers Hill East Anomaly.
Processing Plant
Existing CIL (Carbon-in-Leach) plant infrastructure has been recently upgraded and refurbished ahead of commencing the tailings processing.
Under the configuration adopted for the tailings re-processing the plant capacity is rated at approximately 750,000tpa. The historic capacity of the flotation and CIL circuits was approximately 350,000tpa and 400,000tpa. The flotation circuit was capable of treating both gold and base metal sulphide ore and produced gold, copper, lead and zinc concentrates. The CIL circuit was added to lift gold recoveries and produced gold dore in 2016.
The crushing, grinding, and flotation circuit is currently on care and maintenance and will require refurbishment before hard rock processing can recommence.
Reserves and Resource
Mineral Resources for the Mineral Hill Mine have been compiled for five separate ore bodies within the Mine Lease area. Ore Reserves have been estimated for three deposits at TSF, Pearse and Pearse North.
Mineral Hill Resources have been estimated as 5.9Mt @ 1.20g/t Au, 23.5g/t Ag, 0.7% Cu, 1.0% Pb, and 0.6% Zn for 229Koz Au, 4,461Koz Ag, 43Kt Cu, 60Kt Pb, and 35Kt Zn (Table 1).

Mineral Hill Mine Ore Reserves for TSF, Pearse and Pearse North have been estimated as 2.1Mt @ 1.40g/t Au, 5g/t Ag for 71Koz Au and 346Koz Ag (Table 2).
Existing Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves provide a solid foundation for Kingston to unlock the potential of the Mineral Hill asset, with minimal capital required to access several production-ready open pit and underground deposits.
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves for Pearse, Parkers Hill and the Southern Ore Zone have been adjusted for mining depletion using the production wireframes created by the site survey department at the time of mining[1] .
The Southern Ore Zone (SOZ) and Tailings Storage Facility (TSF; Tails Reprocessing Project) have been prepared in accordance with JORC Code 2012 and are current. Parkers Hill and Pearse Mineral Resource Estimates that have been prepared by a Competent Person in accordance with the JORC Code 2004 and have not been updated to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported. Work needed to ensure accord with JORC 2012 consists of verifying the assumptions and geological model presented in the original estimate, and potentially a program of targeted drilling. It is anticipated that much of the future work programs will be focused on establishment of the underlying geological and structural model, and metallurgical studies to increase the confidence in predicted recoveries as well as mining optimisation studies.

Pearse, Parkers Hill and the Southern Ore Zone Mineral Resource estimates and Ore Reserves have been adjusted by mining depletion using the production wireframes created by the site survey department at the time of mining. These wireframes represent the mining activities at these deposits to the best of Kingston’s knowledge although they are not to be viewed as complete or accurate in their entirety and therefore mining depletion may be revised when Kingston is able to produce revised determinations on more complete data and verification thereof.
-
2- Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Ore Reserves
-
3- Rounding to significant figures may cause minor computational discrepancies

Equity Raising
The acquisition and associated transaction costs will be funded through an institutional placement ( Placement ) for which Kingston has secured binding commitments from institutional and sophisticated investors totalling $14.0 million. Alongside the Placement, a Share Purchase Plan will be offered to existing eligible shareholders targeting a raise of up to A$4.0 million.
Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited acted as Lead Manager in relation to the Placement.
The issue price of A$0.20 per share for both the Placement and the Share Purchase Plan represents a:
-
16.7% discount to the closing price of Kingston shares of A$0.24 on 15 November 2021 being the last trading day prior to release of this announcement; and a
-
12.1% discount to the 10 day VWAP prior to the release of this announcement.
Under the Placement, Kingston will issue 70 million new fully paid ordinary shares. It is anticipated that 41,554,019 shares will be allotted under Listing Rule 7.1, and 28,445,981 will be allotted under Listing Rule 7.1A. The shares are expected to be issued on or around 22 November 2021. Further details of the Placement issue are set out in the Appendix 3B lodged by the Company today.
Shareholder approval for the issuance of consideration shares to Quintana and to ratify the above Placement pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4 will be considered at the Company’s Annual General Meeting ( AGM ) which is expected to be held on 14 December 2021.
Funds raised under the Placement will primarily be used to fund the acquisition of Mineral Hill, associated environmental bonds, and transaction costs, and the planned exploration and development program at Mineral Hill. Funds will also be utilised to advance feasibility studies and approvals programs at Kingston’s Misima Gold Project in PNG, as well as for general working capital purposes.

Share Purchase Plan
The Share Purchase Plan (SPP) will be offered to existing eligible shareholders, being those shareholders that are residents in Australia or New Zealand that held Kingston shares as at 7:00pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, 17 November 2021. Eligible shareholders will be invited to participate in the SPP at the same issue price as the Placement (A$0.20 per share). The SPP will provide eligible shareholders the opportunity to increase their holding by up to A$30,000 without incurring any brokerage or transaction costs. The SPP is targeted to raise a maximum A$4.0 million and is not underwritten.
Kingston may increase or decrease the size of the SPP and/or scale back applications under the SPP at its discretion. Any scale-back will be applied to the extent and in the manner, Kingston sees fit, which may include taking into account a number of factors such as the size of an applicant's shareholding at the record date for the SPP, the extent to which the applicant has sold or purchased shares since the record date, whether the applicant may have multiple registered holdings, the date on which the application was made, and the total applications received from eligible shareholders. Further information regarding the SPP (including terms and conditions of the SPP) will be provided to eligible shareholders in the SPP offer booklet, which will be made available to eligible shareholders shortly. Eligible shareholders wishing to participate in the SPP will need to apply in accordance with the instructions in the SPP offer booklet. Participation in the SPP is optional.
At the time of allotment under both the Placement and SPP, New Shares issued under the offers will rank pari-passu with existing shares.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 – Mineral Hill Historical Drilling Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

| Sampling techniques |
Diamond Drilling Historically, Diamond drilling from surface and underground was used to obtain core from which intervals ranging from approx. 0.2-1.5m in length were submitted for base metals analysis using nitric aqua regia digestion and a conventional ICP-AES methodology. A 50g charge is produced for fire assay and AAS analysis for gold. All diamond drill core drilled by KBL was sampled in intervals based on geological logging. All core was cut, with half core typically sent as the geochemical sample to ALS, Orange The remaining core is stored at the Mineral Hill core yard. An exception is in the case of metallurgical testing where half core was typically sent to the testing laboratory, quarter core to ALS for assay and quarter core retained at site. Reverse Circulation Drilling Historically (Triako era), rock chip samples from RC drilling were first collected and assayed as four metre composites. Composite samples returning significant assay results were then resampled in 1m intervals using a riffle splitter and re-assayed. Subsequently (CBH and KBL era), samples were either submitted in one metre intervals, split off the cyclone; or a portable XRF analyser was used to determine the sampling intervals. In the latter case, samples with XRF readings regarded as anomalous were submitted for assay as one metre intervals with at least two metres either side also collected as one metre samples. The remainder of samples were submitted for assay in 4m composites collected by spearing or riffle splitting. Any four metre composites returning anomalous laboratory assays were re-submitted for assay as one metre samples. Representative chip samples for each metre of RC drilling at Mineral Hill were collected in trays and stored at site. |
| Drilling techniques |
Drilling carried out at Mineral Hill has been predominantly reverse-circulation percussion (RC) and diamond core (typically with RC precollars of varying lengths). Core diameters are mostly standard diameter HQ and NQ, with HQ3 and NQ3 (triple-tube) used during recent surface drilling. SOZ The Southern Ore Zone (SOZ) dataset contains drill holes collared between 800mE and 1400mE, and south of 775mN (local mine grid), that intersect the Mineral Hill Volcanics host rocks. Numerous holes have failed in overlying unmineralised Devonian sedimentary rocks and are not included. Historical drilling at the SOZ has seen a higher proportion of diamond core holes than is typical at Mineral Hill with 139 diamond holes, 17 RC holes, and three percussion holes in the pre-2013 historical dataset. Diamond drilling using HQ (61.1-63.8mm) core diameter and a standard barrel configuration is most common. Core from underground drilling was not routinely orientated. Orientation was attempted on numerous surface drill holes with mostly good results. Methods used over time included traditional spear and marker, and modern orientation tools attached to the core barrel. The SOZ sampling dataset also Includes assays from over 5800 metres of underground sampling performed by Triako from faces and walls, and sludge sampling from underground probe and blast percussion holes. Pearse North Drilling completed at the Pearse North deposit includes 62 RC holes and 4 diamond holes. Orientation was attempted on the diamond drill holes with mostly good results. Methods used over time have included traditional spear & marker and modern orientation tools attached to the core barrel. Pearse Drilling completed at the Pearse deposit includes 125 RC holes and 13 diamond holes. Orientation has been attempted on numerous diamond drill holes with mostly good results. Methods used over time have included traditional spear and marker, and modern orientation tools attached to the core barrel. |

| Historical Historical drilling techniques also include open hole percussion methods, although little specific information is available about the sampling methodology. Early drilling (1960—1970’s era) was carried out by established companies such as Cyprus Mines Ltd which likely applied standard industry practice at the time, however the assay results from these early drillholes (GD series) are regarded as indicative only and are not used in resource estimation. Diamond drilling using HQ (61.1-63.Smm) drilling diameter and a standard barrel configuration is most common. Core from underground drilling is not routinely orientated. Orientation has been attempted on numerous surface drill holes with mostly good results. Methods used over time have included traditional spear and marker, and modern orientation tools attached to the core barrel. Jack’s Hut The Jacks Hut dataset contains drill holes collared between 900mE-1100mE and 1350mN-1500mN (local mine grid) that intersect the Mineral Hill Volcanics host rocks. This dataset (pre-2015) comprises 30 diamond holes, 17 diamond holes with reverse circulation pre- collars, 36 reverse circulation holes and 16 percussion holes In addition, as mentioned in this release, 11 reverse circulation holes were completed in June 2015. Core from historical drilling is variably orientated. Methods used over time have included traditional spear and marker and modern orientation tools attached to the core barrel. |

| Drill sample recovery |
Triple-tube core barrels were used where possible in diamond drilling to maximise sample recovery and quality. Core recovery was measured for the complete hole based on the driller's mark-up, checked during core mark-up in 1m intervals by the geologist. Drill core was measured (actual measured core recovered vs drilled intervals) to accurately quantify sample recovery. Good core recovery was typically achieved during drilling at Mineral Hill. Where recovery is insufficient to produce a meaningful sample the interval was assigned a zero grade when reporting drilling results. There is no known relationship between sample recovery and grade. The lowest recoveries were typically associated with fault and shear zones which may or may not be mineralised. When RC drilling, intervals of poor recovery are noted on geologists' logs but RC sample bags were not routinely weighed for quantification of sample recovery |
| Logging | A qualified geoscientist logged the geology of all holes in their entirety (including geotechnical features). Drill core was geologically and routinely geotechnically logged to a level of detail considered to accurately support Mineral Resource estimation. The parameters logged included lithology with particular reference to veining, mineralogy, alteration, and grain size. Magnetic susceptibility measurements are available for some drill holes. Some core holes have down-hole core orientation and these holes are subject to detailed structural logging. Routine structural logging was carried out on all core holes recording bedding, schistosity and fault angles to core. All core trays were photographed in both wet and drystates. Recent era digitalphotos and scans of filmphotographyare stored electronically. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
SOZ Core regarded as significantly mineralised was cut in half for subsequent assay. This approach has the potential to miss finely disseminated gold mineralisation, and in some cases low grade Cu, high Pb—Zn mineralisation was regarded as uneconomic and ignored. Underground core drilled by KBL was fully sampled (sawn half core) and submitted for assay. All cored sections of KBL surface drill holes were assayed unless the volume of rock was deemed to have been effectively sampled by a pre-existing drill hole, for example in the case of wedging where the wedge hole trajectory is close (typically <5m) from the parent hole. There was no standard procedure regarding the line of cutting with any veins and structural fabrics. However, an attempt was made to obtain an equivalent sample of mineralised material in both halves of the core. Poorly mineralised core was typically cut perpendicular to any dominant fabric. Water used in the core cutting was unprocessed and hence unlikely to introduce contamination to the core samples. When sub sampling RC chips a riffle splitter or conical splitter is typically employed directly off the cyclone. In cases when sampling low grade or background intervals after determination with portable XRF, 4m composite intervals were assembled by spearing. If anomalous results were received from the Lab, the composite intervals were resubmitted from the remaining bulk sample as 1m intervals by riffle splitting. Dry sampling was ensured by use of a booster air compressor when significant groundwater was encountered in RC drilling. Field duplicates were periodically assayed by Triako and CBH, but KBL did not routinely submitted duplicates for analysis. The HQ and HQ3 diameter core was deemed by KBL to provide a representative sample of the SOZ sulfide mineralisation whichgenerallycomprises a fine- to medium-grained(1-5mm)intergrowth of |

crystalline sulfide phases such as chalcopyrite, pyrite, galena and sphalerite; with quartz-mica- carbonate gangue. A typical 1m half core sample weighs approximately 3.5-4.5 kg. The 4“ diameter bit, used as standard in RC drilling, collected a typical bulk sample weighing up to 30kg per metre drilled, from which a split 1/10 sub-sample typically weighing between 1.5 and 2.5 kg was submitted for assay. The split sub-sample was deemed representative of the entire metre sampled.
Pearse North
Core drilled by KBL was fully sampled (as sawn half core for HQ and NQ, full core for BQ and LTK48) and submitted for assay. All cored sections of KBL surface drill holes were assayed unless the volume of rock was deemed to have been effectively sampled by a pre-existing drill hole, for example in the case of wedging where the wedge hole trajectory is close (typically <5m) from the parent hole. There was no standard procedure regarding the line of cutting with any veins and structural fabrics. However, an attempt was made to obtain an equivalent sample of mineralised material in both halves of the core. Poorly mineralised core was typically cut perpendicular to any dominant fabric. Oriented core was cut close to the orientation line, but far enough away so as to preserve the line on the retained half or quarter core. Water used in the core cutting was unprocessed and unlikely to introduce contamination to the core samples. A typical 1m half HQ core sample weighs approximately 3.5-4.5 kg. The HQ and HQ3 diameter core was deemed by KBL to provide a representative sample of the Pearse North sulphide mineralisation which generally comprises fine-grained (<5mm) clots, veinlets and crystals of sulphide phases such as arsenopyrite, pyrite, and stibnite; with quartz- mica-carbonate gangue.

| Jacks Hut Historical Jacks Hut core sampling was based on geological logging and in most cases only core regarded as significantly mineralised was cut in half for subsequent assay. This approach has the potential to miss finely disseminated gold mineralisation and in some cases low grade copper mineralisation was regarded as uneconomic and ignored. Historical core sizes and percussion/reverse circulation hole diameters were deemed by KBL to have adequately provided representative sample of the Jacks Hut mineralisation which generally comprises a fine to medium grained intergrowth of crystalline sulphide phases including chalcopyrite and pyrite within a broader volcaniclastic gangue. Sampling of historical core was typically achieved by cutting with a core saw or equivalent to obtain half core for assay while the remaining half was retained in the original core trays (except in cases where half core was used for metallurgical test work and one quarter retained). Details of sample splitting in historical (1969-1986) percussion/reverse circulation drilling are poorly documented and were assumed by KBL to be industry standard at the time. Field duplicates were periodically assayed by Triako and CBH, but KBL did not routinely submit duplicates for analysis. Quality control procedures for sub-sampling of historical drilling (1969-1986) are poorly documented and were assumed byKBL to be industrystandard at the time of sample collection. |

| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
All drilling samples were assayed at Australian Laboratory Services (ALS) in Orange, NSW. ALS is a NATA Accredited Laboratory. ALS maintains robust internal QA/QC procedures (including the analysis of standards, repeats & blanks) which are monitored with the analytical data by KBL geologists through the Webtrieve™ online system. SOZ During the Triako era drilling at SOZ (2001-2005), samples were analysed for copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold using ALS Method IC581. All gold values >5g/t were then repeated with method AA26. All pulps returning >1%Cu, >1%Pb, >1% Zn, and/or >25g/t Ag were repeated with method OG46/AA46 (mixed acid digest, flame AAS). KBL routinely assayed for copper, lead, zinc, silver, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth using ALS Method ME-ICP41, with pulps returning over 10000ppm for Cu, Pb, Zn or 100ppm for Ag, reanalysed with the ore- grade method ME-OG46. The aqua regia ME-ICP41 and ME-OG46 methods are regarded as a total digestion technique for the ore minerals present at SOZ. Gold was analysed with the 50g fire-assay-AAS finish method Au-AA26. In the more recent KBL drilling programs two standards were inserted every 30 samples in the sample stream. The standards comprised Certified Ore Grade base and precious metal Reference Material provided by Geostats Pty Ltd. The analysis of standards was checked upon receipt of batch results, all base metal standards analysed with the KBL core samples had ore elements within two standard deviations (SD) of the provided mean standard grade with 53% of these having all ore element concentrations within one SD. Based on the results of standard analysis, in addition to the internal QA/QC standards, repeats and blanks run by the laboratory, the laboratory was deemed to provide an acceptable level of accuracy and precision. For historical drilling from 2001-2005, standards were inserted at the start and end of each batch of samples sent to ALS. The laboratory was requested to repeat any high grade standards which returned values > 10% from the quoted mean, and >20% for the low grade standards. Pearse North KBL routinely assayed for copper, lead, zinc, silver, arsenic, antimony, and bismuth using ALS Method ME-ICP41, with pulps returning over 10000ppm for Cu, Pb, Zn or 100ppm for Ag, reanalysed with the ore-grade method ME-OG46. The aqua regia ME-ICP41 and ME- OG46 methods are regarded as a total digestion technique for the ore minerals present at Pearse North. Gold was analysed with the 50g fire- assay-AAS finish method Au-AA26. In the recent most (2015-2016) Pearse North drilling program, two standards were inserted every 30 samples in the sample stream. The standards comprised Certified Ore Grade base and precious metal Reference Material provided by Geostats Pty Ltd. Blanks were also regularly inserted in the sample batches. The analyses of standards and blanks were checked upon receipt of batch results-Should the analysis of standards from a series of sample batches show a trend towards falling outside of two SD or being strongly high or low, the assay laboratory was contacted, and it is assessed whether reanalysis was required. Re-assay of each sample run with questionable standard results was the usual procedure. Results from such assay batches were not released until KBL geologists were satisfied that any questions as to assay grade reliability are resolved and there were no further QA/QC issues. Based on the historical results of standard analysis, in addition to the internal QA/QC standards, repeats and blanks run by ALS, the laboratory was deemed to provide an acceptable level of accuracy and precision. |

| Data spacing and distribution |
SOZ Historical surface drilling at SOZ, like most of the Mineral Hill field, was mainly designed on an east-west grid (relative to Mine Grid). Surface holes were drilled from drill pads arranged on a grid of approximately 50m x 50m, typically with two to five separate holes drilled from each pad. Underground drilling at SOZ has also occurred from numerous sites, most commonly in the hanging wall of the mineralisation, and drill holes have a greater range of orientations. As a whole, the drilling has typically intersected the A, B, C, & D lodes at a spacing 25m x 25m between 160RL and 0RL (between 147m and 307 metres depth from surface) with closer drill spacing in many areas. Drilling has intersected the mineralisation at an average spacing of approximately 50m x 50m between 0RL and -100RL (307m to 407m depth from surface). Below -100RL, only sporadic drilling has been carried out. Historical drilling into the G & H lodes was mostly from underground sites at the northern and southern ends of the deposit. Drilling has intersected the mineralised envelope with a spacing of approximately 25-30m at G Lode and 30-50m at H Lode. The majority of drill holes have been selectively sampled. Only intervals that showed signs of mineralisation were assayed. H&SC considered the data spacing to be sufficient to classify the resources at SOZ as Measured, Indicated and Inferred. Historically (Triako era), rock chip samples from RC drilling at SOZ were first composited into four metre intervals for assay by riffle splitting the individual metre bulk samples and combining. Composite intervals returning assay results of economic significance were then resampled in 1m intervals from the bulk samples using a riffle splitter and re-assayed. No sample compositing was applied by KBL during drilling at SOZ. Pearse North Prior to the recent most (2015-16) drilling, the Pearse North deposit had an average drill spacing of 25-30m. The spacing has now been reduced to approximately 15m. Pearse Drilling at the Pearse deposit has an average spacing of 12.5m x 12.5m over the main deposit area with a closer spacing in the high-grade core because several additional holes have been drilled for metallurgical purposes. Parkers Hill The limited historical surface drilling at Parkers Hill Northeast, like most of the Mineral Hill field, was mainly designed on an east west grid (relative to Mine Grid). Existing drilling in the Parkers Hill area has a typical spacing between 20m x 20m and 30m x 30m. Underground drilling has also occurred from numerous sites in the hanging wall of the mineralisation, and drill holes have a range of orientations. Several historical drill holes also support the presence of significant polymetallic mineralisation at Parkers Hill NE, although they were drilled from a variety of angles to the mineralised trend. Jack’s Hut Historical surface drilling at Jacks Hut, like most of the Mineral Hill field, was mainly designed on an east-west grid (relative to Mine Grid). Underground drilling at Jacks Hut has also occurred from numerous sites and drill holes have a greater range of orientations. As a whole, the drilling has typically intersected mineralisation at a spacing of 25m x 25m below 270RL (approximately 50m below surface) with closer drill spacing in many areas. Drilling has intersected the mineralisation at an average spacing of approximately 15m x 20m above 270RL (approximately 50m below surface). Below 200RL, only sporadic drilling has been carried out. The majority of historical drill holes were selectivelysampled. Onlyintervals that showed signs of mineralisation were assayed. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Mineralisation at Mineral Hill occurs around discrete structures in a series of en-echelon dilational zones within a NNW/SSE1 trending corridor up to 1.5km wide. There is a variety of mineralisation styles present within this zone, reflecting multiple phases of mineralisation events. Most drilling occurs with an east-dipping orientation and -60 to -80 degrees dip to best intersect the mineralisation. Bearings in this document are given relative to the Mineral Hill Mine Grid (MHG) in which north is oriented towards a bearing of 315 degrees (NW) relative to MGA Grid north. SOZ Surface drill hole designs at SOZ mostly dip between 60 and 75 degrees to the to the east, intersecting the interpreted steeply west-dipping lodes at a favourable angle. In the central part of the G & H Lode domain, most of the drill holes are oriented at a non-ideal angle either down-dip or along strike relative to the interpretation of mineralisation. The angle of existing drilling to interpreted mineralisation is more favourable in the northern and southernparts of the G & H Lodes due to limited underground drill sites. |

| Pearse North Surface drill hole designs at Pearse North mostly dip between 60 and 75 degrees to the to the east, collared on a regular grid and intersecting the mineralisation at a spacing of approximately 15m. Based on orientation data collected from diamond drill holes the high- grade part of the deposit is interpreted to fall in a number of schist zones which strike north to north northeast. In the north, the mineralisation is interpreted to be sub-vertical whereas in the south it dips at approximately 80 degrees to the west. Several spaced 40-60 degree west- dipping shear zones were also encountered which may have a bearing on the distribution of mineralisation. A third orientation of major shearing encountered in KMHDD032 in the centre of the deposit, combined with the results of KMHRC165 suggests the southern of two Au-rich lenses may be open to the ENE. Pearse Surface drill hole designs at Pearse mostly dip between 60 and 75 degrees to the to the east, collared on a regular grid and intersecting the mineralisation at a spacing of 12.5m x 12.5m. The high-grade part of the deposit is interpreted to fall in a local kink of the parent fault zone and strikes towards a bearing of approximately 037 with a steep westerly dip. The tightly spaced drilling is deemed not to have introduced any sampling bias. Bearings in this document are given relative to the Mineral Hill Mine Grid (MHG) in which north is oriented towards am bearing of 315 degrees (NW) relative to MGA Grid north. Parkers Hill Surface drill hole designs at Parkers Hill NE mostly dip between 60 and 75 degrees to the to the east, intersecting the interpreted steeply northwest-dipping lodes at a favourable angle. Jacks Hut Historical surface drill hole designs at Jacks Hut mostly vary between -90 and -60 degrees inclination with angled holes predominantly drilled toward 90 degrees azimuth, mine grid. The main Jacks Hut lode is interpreted to dip steeply west and as such vertical drill holes are not considered to intersect this lode at an optimal angle. The orientation of the hanging wall and footwall mineralisation is not yet known. |

| Sample security | For diamond drilling, historically, half core was collected in calico sample bags marked with a unique sample number which were tied at the top. Samples were couriered by independent contractors from the mine site to the ALS Laboratory, Orange, NSW. Specific records of historical sample security measures were not recorded, however the methods were regarded as normal industry practice during an external audit of Triako's historical data base, quality control procedures, survey, sampling and logging methods in 2005. For historic RC drilling, representative samples from the rig were deposited into individually numbered calico bags which were then tied at the top Samples were couriered by independent contractors from the mine site to the ALS Laboratory. For diamond drilling, half core was collected in calico sample bags marked with a unique sample number which were tied at the top Samples were couriered by independent contractors from the mine site to the ALS Laboratoryin Orange,NSW. |
| Audits or reviews | The historical data base, quality control procedures, survey, sampling and logging methods were reviewed by Barret, Fuller and Partners (BFP) in June 2005 on behalf of Triako Resources Ltd. The BFP report was authored by C.E. Gee and T.G. Summons and concluded that the Triako database and procedures were of “normal industry practice". CBH Resources, and subsequently KBL Mining Ltd maintained the Triako drilling and sampling procedures, bringing the database standards up to practice during there tenure. A detailed QA/QC review of the Mineral Hill drill hole database was carried out in 2013-2014 by independent consultant geologist, Mr Garry Johansen. This work was performed as an integral part of building a 3D digital geological model of the Mineral Hill district. KSN has engaged an external consultant toprovide an initial assessment of the database and it has been reported to be of acceptablequality. |

| Pearse North Coincident Au-As soil anomalism and low grade Au-Ag mineralisation was discovered at Pearse North by Triako Resources Ltd in the 1990s. 50m+ spaced drilling at the prospect by Triako during the period 1999-2005 several intercepts significant Au grade. Follow-up drilling KBL Mining Ltd in 2010 served to better define a number of high grade lenses at the prospect. KBL released a Resource and Reserve in 2016 incorporating new drill results and geology modelling. Pearse Coincident Au-As soil anomalism and low grade Au-Ag mineralisation was discovered at Pearse by Triako Resources Ltd in the 1990s. Follow-up drilling narrowly missed the high grade Pearse deposit (formerly Pearse South) which was discovered by KBL Mining through a program of infill drilling in 2009. KBL mined the Pearse deposit until the mine went into care and maintenance in 2016 before mining could extract all of the Pearse Reserve. Parkers Hill The Parkers Hill Deposit was progressively defined by Cyprus in 1968 to 1971, Buka Minerals in 1983 to 1990, Triako from 1993 to 2001, and CBH Resources Ltd in 2007 and 2008. KBL carried out drilling at Parkers Hill between 2010 and 2016. Jacks Hut The Jacks Hut deposit was discovered by Triako Resources Ltd. The majority of drilling at Jacks Hut to date was carried out by Triako with earlier exploration attributed to GettyOil Development CompanyLtd. KBL carried out drillingin 2015 which is discussed in thispresentation. |

| Geology | SOZ The SOZ at Mineral Hill is an epithermal polymetallic (Cu-Au to Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) vein and breccia system hosted by the Late Silurian to Early Devonian Mineral Hill Volcanics, a pile of proximal rhyolitic volcaniclastic rocks with minor reworked volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks. The mineralisation is structurally controlled and comprises lodes centred on hydrothermal breccia zones within and adjacent to numerous faults, surrounded by a halo of quartz-sulfide vein stockwork mineralisation. Mineralisation at A Lode is mostly in the form of breccia, composed of volcanic wall rock and older quartz-sulphide vein fragments set in a silica and sulphide matrix and locally comprising massive sulphide. This Lode is the easternmost of the parallel to en-echelon west-dipping breccia zones which make up the SOZ. There is a general zonation from Pb-Zn-Ag rich mineralisation at higher levels such as the A lode to more Cu-Au dominant mineralisation at lower levels. Pearse & Pearse North The Pearse North deposit at Mineral Hill is interpreted to be an epithermal shear-hosted Au-Ag within the Late Silurian to Early Devonian Mineral Hill Volcanics, a pile of proximal rhyolitic volcaniclastic rocks with minor reworked volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks. The sulphide mineralisation, comprising predominantly pyrite, arsenopyrite and stibnite, is typically disseminated within quartz-mica (sericite) schist. At the Pearse deposit to the south, analysis by Laser Ablation ICP-MS has found that fine-grained gold is mostly concentrated in arsenopyrite and fine-grained ‘spongy’ (melnikovite) pyrite with lower concentrations of gold hosted by crystalline pyrite. Mineralisation at Pearse North is inferred to have a similar character. Parkers Hill The Parkers Hill Deposit is an epithermal polymetallic Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au vein and breccia system hosted by the late Silurian to Early Devonian Mineral Hill Volcanics, a pile of proximal rhyolitic volcaniclastic rocks with minor reworked volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks. The mineralisation is structurally controlled and comprises zones of veining and breccia within and adjacent to numerous fault zones, surrounded by quartz sulphide vein stockwork mineralisation. Jacks Hut & Missing Link The Jacks Hut comprises an epithermal (Cu-Au) vein and breccia system hosted by the Late Silurian to Early Devonian Mineral Hill Volcanics, a pile of proximal rhyolitic volcaniclastic rocks with minor reworked volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks. The mineralisation is structurally controlled and is surrounded by a halo of sulphide (Cu-Au) vein stockwork mineralisation which forms the core of the conceptual modelpresented in this release. |

| Data aggregation methods |
Significant intercepts in the body of this presentations are calculated based on gold and copper grades. A lower cut-off of 0.3g/t Au and 0.3% Cu is used. Internal waste is defined as an interval without a value greater than at least one of the cut-off values. 2m interval was the maximum length of internal waste incorporated into the significant intercepts. Intervals are weighted bythe sample length. |
||||||||||
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
Significant intercepts are reported as down hole length, width not known. | ||||||||||
| Diagrams | Maps and Diagrams are presented in this presentation that provide a broad understanding of the spatial distribution of the deposits, their geometryand the Mineral Hill Site’s mineralisation character as a whole. No significant discoveryis beingreported in thispresentation. |
||||||||||
| Balanced reporting |
The Mineral Hill Mine has had exploration for more than 70 years and there is a large database of drill holes. For the purposes of announcing a material transaction some intercepts have been used to highlight the mineralisation style, grade and tenor at the various deposits. Kingston will be able to provide detailed, deposit centred information in following announcements as they take control as owner and commence further exploration activities. |
||||||||||
| Other substantive exploration data |
There are numerous historical exploration data sets at Mineral Hill mine, these are not deemed meaningful or relevant for the purposes of this release. |
||||||||||
| Further work | Kingston plans to carry out programs of RC and Diamond drilling from surface and UG (at SOZ). Initially these holes will be confirmatory as well as testing depth and lateral extensions of the deposits outlined in this release. Areas depicting possible areas of extensions have been included in thepresentation that this table accompanies. |
