Further Gold and High Grade Silver Mineralisation Intersected at Kulumalia

Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve update on-track for delivery in September Quarter

• Resource in-fill drilling at Kulumalia, located at the southern end of the main Umuna orebody, has returned further positive assay results, outside the Reserve pit shell with highlights including:

• GDD101 20.7m @ 2.52g/t Au & 86.1g/t Ag from 99.3m

• GDD104 17.5m @ 2.28g/t Au & 2.5g/t Ag from 221.9m

• GDD104 8m @ 1.39g/t Au & 3.6g/t Ag from 210.2m

• Significant high-grade silver assays returned within and immediately adjacent to the gold mineralisation, enhancing the potential economics of the central Kulumalia area: • GDD101 2m @ 192g/t Ag & 0.68g/t Au from 87m

• GDD101 37.4m @ 90.9g/t Ag & 1.5g/t Au from 91.6m

• Drilling has confirmed and extended mineralised intervals within and below the current life-ofmine plan, increasing confidence in the existing Resource and potentially highlighting additional mineable material in this area of the Umuna Pit.

Kingston Resources Limited (ASX: KSN ) ( Kingston or the Company ) is pleased to report significant new results from ongoing Resource drilling at Kulumalia, located at the southern end of the main Umuna orebody at its flagship 3.6Moz Misima Gold Project in PNG.

Recent drilling has returned multiple wide mineralised intercepts outside of the Reserve pit shell, increasing geological confidence in the existing Resource and Reserve models while also delineating new mineralisation beneath the current life-of-mine plan.

These strong results follow on from previously-reported drill results at Kulumalia (see ASX announcement 8[th] March 2021), which included shallow, high-grade mineralised intercepts. Best intercepts from the previouslyreported results included:

• GDD093 10.7m @ 1.34g/t Au & 8.1g/t Ag from 44m

• 14.2m @ 1.61g/t Au & 4.0g/t Ag from 146.8m

• • GDD095 7m @ 1.14g/t Au & 15.7g/t Ag from 54.7m

9.8m @ 0.76g/t Au & 0.4g/t Ag from 170m

3.8m @ 2.42g/t Au & 1.5g/t Ag from 183.8m

• GDD096 9.1m @ 1.6g/t Au & 10.5g/t Ag from 194.9m

• 22.4m @ 0.99g/t Au & 27.8g/t Ag from 212m

• GDD099 6m @ 1.57g/t Au & 42.3g/t Ag from 119m

The drilling results from Kulumalia are part of an ongoing 8,000m drilling campaign designed to in-fill and upgrade the existing Inferred Resource as well as test depth extensions and confirm historical drill intercepts.

Encouragingly, the results have continued to deliver some particularly high silver grades in the central Kulumalia area, within the current mine plan. These results are expected to enhance the potential economic contribution of mining the Kulumalia area within the Umuna Pit.

Significantly, mineralisation at Kulumalia has also been identified below the current life-of-mine plans but still at relatively shallow depths (see GDD104 in figure 4). These results are encouraging as they point to the potential for additional mineable material in this area of the Umuna Pit, which would have potential positive implications for the economics of the project.

Following completion of the drill program, assay results will feed into an updated Ore Reserve estimate for the Misima Gold Project, which is expected to be delivered during Q3 this year.

Kingston Resources Managing Director, Andrew Corbett, said: “This latest round of assay results at Kulumalia builds on the encouraging results released in March. This area is shaping up to be an important component of Kingston’s development strategy for Misima.

“It is particularly pleasing to see some of the deeper holes drilled at Kulumalia to date returning high-grade mineralised intervals. This shows that gold mineralisation continues at depth in fresh rock and confirms that Kulumalia is more than just a source of shallow oxide ore – it is an extremely well-mineralised component of the main Umuna trend.

“Kingston’s geology team is doing a great job de-risking the project and adding value to the proposed mine production plan, which will ultimately help to strengthen Misima’s credentials as a long-life, low-cost gold operation.”

The drilling at Kulumalia was undertaken within the existing Inferred Resource envelope, with best gold intercepts from the latest results including:

• GDD101 16.8m @ 0.82g/t Au & 16.0g/t Ag from 34m, including

• 1m @ 3.63g/t Au & 23.4g/t Ag from 37m; and

• 2.4m @ 1.55g/t Au & 31.2g/t Ag from 41.1m.

• GDD101 20.7m @ 2.52g/t Au & 86.1g/t Ag from 99.3m, including

• 1m @ 1.62g/t Au & 62.3g/t Ag from 100.5m; and

• 1.9m @ 15g/t Au & 22.3g/t Ag from 105m; and

• 1m @ 5.24g/t Au & 72.9g/t Ag from 111m.

• GDD102 16m @ 0.61g/t Au & 15.2g/t Ag from 256m.

• GDD104 8m @ 1.39g/t Au & 3.6g/t Ag from 210.2m.

• GDD104 17.5m @ 2.28g/t Au & 2.5g/t Ag from 221.9m, including

• 10.8m @ 3.4g/t Au & 2.6g/t Ag from 226.7m;

Rock units hosting the gold mineralisation at Kulumalia include quartz-chlorite and graphitic schists, greenstone (meta-basalts), feldspar porphyry and diorite and a series of structurally-controlled breccia units, with the breccia units being the preferred host of the mineralisation. The gold mineralisation appears not to be lithologically controlled.

Gold mineralisation is associated with limonite and quartz veinlets and limonitic fractures in the oxide zone and brecciated units with fine sulphides in fresh material. Structures are characterised by a high grade central zone with a halo of lower grade gold mineralisation.

Silver Mineralisation

Silver is a common precious metal associated with carbonate base metal-style mineral systems that characterise the gold-rich mineralisation at Misima. At Kulumalia, high-grade silver mineralisation occurs both coincident with and peripheral to the main gold-rich mineralised structures targeted by the drilling. High silver grades have the potential to improve the economics of mining at Kulumalia due to the silver credits gained offsetting the gold production costs.

Historical silver production by Placer totalled 22.6Moz, at an average of 1.4Mozpa with an average recovery of 52.6%. For the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) completed by Kingston (see ASX Announcement 24 November 2020), silver recoveries were conservatively estimated at 35%.

High-grade silver intercepts were calculated independently of gold. A silver cut-off grade of 24g/t was calculated using commodity price assumptions, mining assumptions, operating costs and recoveries as published in the Misima PFS and Resource and Reserve Statement released on 24 November 2020.

Best silver intercepts from the latest results include:

• GDD101 3.4m @ 31.4g/t Ag & 1.32g/t Au from 41.1m

• GDD101 1.3m @ 29.5g/t Ag &0.1g/t Au from 62.6m

• GDD101 2m @ 193g/t Ag & 0.68g/t Au from 87m

• GDD101 37.4m @ 90.9g/t Ag & 1.5g/t Au from 91.6m

• GDD102 1.5m @ 53.4g/t Ag & 0g/t Au from 0m

• GDD102 4m @ 25.2g/t Ag & 0.48g/t Au from 263m

• GDD102 2.8m @ 35.1g/t Ag & 0.44g/t Au from 269.18m

Next Steps

Drilling of the Cooktown stockpile has now been completed and both drill rigs are moving back to Kulumalia to continue the Resource definition program that builds on the updated geological interpretation to include drill testing of near-surface gold mineralisation in structures in the hanging wall of the main gold-rich zone, strike extensions to the east and west, and in-fill of existing and intermediate sections.

The Resource definition program will be followed by a program of geotechnical drilling in the second half of 2021, which will contribute to the ongoing Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS).

About Kingston Resources

Kingston Resources is a metals exploration company which is focused on exploring and developing the worldclass Misima Gold Project in PNG. Misima hosts a JORC Resource of 3.6Moz Au and an Ore Reserve of 1.35Moz. Misima was operated as a profitable open pit mine by Placer Pacific between 1989 and 2001, producing over 3.7Moz before it was closed when the gold price was below US$300/oz. Kingston has concluded a Pre-Feasibility Study for Misima and is continuing to advance development activities. The Misima Project also offers outstanding potential for additional resource growth through exploration success targeting extensions and additions to the current Resource base. Kingston’s interest in Misima is held through its PNG subsidiary Gallipoli Exploration (PNG) Limited.

In addition, Kingston owns 75% of the high-grade Livingstone Gold Project in Western Australia where active exploration programs are also in progress.

		o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level
		in metres) of the drill hole collar

	mineral resource estimation.
•	Misima Island forms part of the Louisiade Archipelago which is	a continuation
	of the Papuan Fold Belt of the Papuan Peninsula offshore eastwards through
	the Papuan Plateau. The oldest rocks on Misima are Cretaceous to Paleogene
	metamorphic rocks, which can be subdivided into the western Awaibi
	Association and the younger overthrust eastern Sisa Association that is host to
	the gold and copper mineralization. The two associations are separated by an
	original thrust fault with later extensional activation.
•	Mineralisation deposit style on Misima Island is best described as		Low
	Sulphidation Epithermal due to the veining and characteristics, the dominance
	of Ag Zn Pb Au Cu Mn geochemistry as well as complex alteration styles and
	geometry, and strong association with precursor porphyry Cu Au style alteration.
•	Styles of mineralisation observed across Misima Island include multiphase
	hydrothermal breccia, stockworks both sheeted and three-dimensional, skarn,
	jasperoidal replacement, and poorly banded vein infill of quartz	and carbonate
	with associated pyrite, galena, sphalerite, barite and minor tetrahedrite.
	Combining all data sets with orientated drill core data for
	mineralised veins and breccias defines the predominant structure
	trends in the deposit and will provide the foundation for the
	resource model. The Current interpretation is that Kulumalia
	mineralisation is open along strike and at depth, with the potential
	for hangingwall splays and mineralised structures.
