Kingston Resources Ltd is pleased to announce the results of its recently completed auger sampling program at the Livingstone Gold Project in Western Australia. The drilling, conducted over an area of approximately 17km[2] , revealed high-tenor gold anomalies extending more than 2km across each of the Stanley and Mt Seabrook prospects (Figure 1). The results include gold values in excess of 1,000ppb or 1g/t Au, considered extremely high for a soil sample.

At the Mt Seabrook area, which includes two lines of old workings known as Mt Seabrook No.1 and No.2, auger drilling defined a large area of gold anomalism greater than 50ppb Au. The Mt Seabrook anomaly covers an area of over 2km long and up to 800m wide with a peak assay of 1.74g/t Au. The Mt Seabrook workings were sampled in 2016 by Kingston, with grab samples returning assays as high as 75.65g/t Au[1] .

In the Stanley area, a second major anomaly has been defined, extending east-west for over 3km with a width of up to 350m. Along strike from this to the west, a third anomaly 800m long lies on the same trend. In total, the Stanley trend extends over a total strike length of approximately 4.6km.

Several smaller anomalies were defined in the vicinity of the Livingstone North historic workings, with assay values as high as 1.4g/t Au. Full auger coverage was not achieved around Livingstone North due to the steep terrain; Kingston will endeavour to infill the sampling coverage by alternative means. One high-grade sample of 993ppb Au also sits on the western edge of the grid, so further auger work will be required to extend coverage in that direction.

“These are extremely encouraging results, with high tenor gold anomalism and excellent continuity over long strike lengths” commented Andrew Paterson, Kingston Technical Director. “Previous conventional soil sampling had indicated anomalism over a broad area, but we were concerned about gold shedding down the hillsides creating false anomalies. The auger results have given us better definition, as well as increasing gold grade by a factor of five. We look forward to following this up with an aircore program as soon as possible”.

Kingston will initially test the anomalies using reconnaissance air-core or RAB drilling techniques to determine the widths and extent of any underlying mineralisation prior to moving into an RC drill campaign. This will allow a relatively fast, cost-effective assessment of each area in order to prioritise ongoing work.

As a result of this program and the earlier RC drilling at Homestead and Winja, Kingston has fulfilled the expenditure required for its 75% earn-in on the project (Figure 3). Kingston is now in a position to take up that interest at any time before 21 December 2017.

The Livingstone’s Find workings were historically the biggest producer of gold in the Robinson Range region prior to the advent of modern mining techniques, with reported production of 1,260oz of gold at an average grade of 21.85g/t[2] . Gold anomalies were first identified at Stanley after soil sampling by Western Mining Corporation in the 1980’s, and additional soil sampling by Talisman Mining confirmed the presence of gold anomalism at surface. Limited RAB and RC drilling in the area during the late 1980’s by Endeavour, WMC and Sons of Gwalia produced encouraging results. In spite of this, no drilling has been completed at Livingstone’s Find or Stanley since then.

Livingstone: delayed assays from Winja drilling include an intersection of 18m @ 3.03g/t Au

Assays on a batch of delayed samples from the recent RC program at Livingstone returned a significant intersection of 10m @ 4.00g/t Au from 45m in hole KLRC014. This result sits above the previously-reported intersection of 8m @ 1.81g/t from 55m[3] , meaning the overall intersection now amounts to 18m @ 3.03g/t including a higher-grade zone of 7m @ 5.14g/t (Figure 2). This intersection is up-dip and on the same section as Talisman’s result of 18m @ 7.85g/t in hole TRC070. As such it confirms the chute-like structure of high grade mineralisation on that section.

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.

Geology  Deposit type, geological setting and style of  The following geological description is taken
mineralisation. from the TLM 2006 Homestead resource
report by Cornelius (Homestead was
previously referred to as the Boundary
prospect):
“The geology of the Boundary deposit consists of
poorly-outcropping talc-chlorite-carbonate ultramafic
rocks/schists and mafic rocks/schists (Narracoota
Volcanics), as well as minor phyllites, dolomites and
intermediate/felsic rocks covered by a thin veneer of
colluvial pisolitic laterite and recent alluvial cover.
“Mineralisation within the oxidized zone is associated
with limonite replacement of mainly carbonate
minerals and pyrite. The weathering profile is locally
depressed over the mineralisation, coincident with the
dip of the mineralised lodes. There has been a certain
degree of lateritic enrichment/mobilisation of gold,
with a small near-surface, near-lode
supergene gold blanket developed principally on the
hanging-wall of the mineralised lode position. Below
the base of oxidation, limited intercepts of the fresh
mineralisation show a composition of quartz-
carbonate-chlorite-(pyrite)-(gold), with the suggestion
of a moderate to strong quartz-pyrite-carbonate
proximal alteration associated with the gold
mineralisation, possibly within a (distal) chloritic
envelope.”
