EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of the Shareholders of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at the offices of Hall Chadwick, Level 40, 2 Park Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 at 2 pm (Sydney Time) on 7 June 2018.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

Background to Resolutions 1, 2(a) and 2(b) and 3 (to refresh capital raising capacity)

Listing Rule 7.1 allows the board of an ASX listed company to issue up to 15% of the company’s issued capital in any 12month period without shareholder approval.

Listing Rule 7.1A allows the board of an ASX listed company to seek shareholder approval for a special resolution to be passed at an Annual General Meeting in advance, that would provide the Company with the placement capacity to issue up to 10% (in addition to the 15% placement capacity already afforded to the company under Listing Rule 7.1) of the company’s issued capital in a 12-month period.

Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A, which provides that where a company in a general meeting ratifies the previous issue of securities made pursuant to Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A (and provided that the previous issue did not breach the Listing Rules), those securities will be deemed to have been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

Merger with WCB Resources Ltd

On 1 September 2017, WCB Resources Ltd (WCB) and Kingston announced the execution of a binding Heads of Agreement to merge the two companies by way of a Canadian Plan of Arrangement (Plan) under Canadian law. Each WCB shareholder would receive 4.5 ordinary shares of KSN for each common share of WCB they held in consideration for the transfer of those WCB shares to KSN (Merger).

Kingston was granted a waiver from Listing Rule 7.1 which confirmed prior in principle advice received from ASX Limited that it was not necessary for Kingston to obtain the approval of its shareholders for the issue of up to 302,601,974 shares to WCB shareholders and 1,350,000 options to WCB warrant holders as Plan consideration pursuant to the Plan (refer ASX Announcement on 7 September 2017).

On 17 November 2017, Kingston concluded the Merger with WCB, securing an interest the 2.8Moz Misima Gold Project in Papua New Guinea. This brought a significantly more advanced exploration and development asset into the portfolio to complement Kingston’s existing pipeline of earlier stage exploration assets.

Following completion of the Merger, Kingston issued 302,601,974 shares to WCB shareholders and 1,350,000 options to WCB warrant holders as referred to above, without utilising any Listing Rule 7.1 or 7.1A placement capacity. In addition, Kingston issued 15,220,351 ordinary shares to settle WCB liabilities for management compensation (6,862,645 subject to voluntary escrow for 12 months) and 6,052,035 ordinary shares issued as advisor fees pursuant to the Plan (Misima Transaction Shares), which utilised a portion of the Company’s placement capacity to issue shares under Listing Rule 7.1.

Capital Raising

On 6 February 2018, Kingston announced the successful completion of an oversubscribed $4.3m placement of 194m shares at a price of $0.022 per share (Placement).

Placement funds raised would be primarily used to advance exploration activities at the Company’s Misima Gold Project and Livingstone Gold Project in WA, including:

  • Re-establishing the on-island presence and logistics support at Misima

  • Continuing geochemical surveys at Misima

  • Phase 1 drilling program at Misima on priority exploration targets

  • Extensional and infill drilling at the known Misima resource

  • Exploration drilling at Livingstone Gold Project

  • General working capital

The Placement was undertaken pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and 7.1A, with 97,507,877 shares being allotted under Listing Rule 7.1 and 96,492,123 shares allotted under Listing Rule 7.1A. The shares were issued on 12 February 2018.

4

In addition to the Placement, Kingston offered existing eligible shareholders the opportunity to participate in a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to raise up to $1,000,000 at the same issue price as the Placement, being $0.022 per share. The SPP closed on 2 March 2018 with proceeds raised through the SPP providing the Company with additional working capital to progress its exploration and drilling activities at the Misima Gold Project and the Livingstone Gold Project.

Acquisition of Livingstone Gold Project

On 21 December 2016, Kingston announced the completion of the acquisition of an option over the Livingstone Gold Project. The Company advised that it had reached agreement with Trillbar Resources Pty Ltd (Vendors) on all terms relating to the exploration option and potential future development of the Livingstone Gold Project.

Kingston entered into a 12-month option agreement with the Vendors to purchase a 75% interest in the tenement E52/3403. The main terms of the option agreement were:

  • The 12-month option period commenced from the date of grant of E52/3403 (21 December 2016);

  • To purchase the option, Kingston would pay the Vendors 5.5 million shares (restricted) in KSN and 5 million options in KSN, exercisable at $0.025 within three years of issue (refer ASX Announcement on 22 December 2016);

  • Kingston would commit to a minimum $200,000 exploration expenditure on the tenement;

  • If it chooses to exercise the option, Kingston would pay the Vendors $300,000 in Kingston shares, issued at a 10% discount to the 20-day VWAP prior to exercise; and

  • The Vendors would retain a 25% interest in E52/3403 which will be free carried until a decision to mine is made over a defined mining area. If the Vendors choose not to contribute to expenditure beyond the decision to mine they will be diluted according to standard dilution practices. If the Vendors dilute to a less than 5% interest, then a 1.25% gross royalty is to be paid.

On 13 December 2017, Kingston announced that the Livingstone Gold Project in Western Australia received Exploration Incentive Scheme funding under the State Government’s co-funded drilling program. Under this scheme Kingston was awarded co-funding of $75,500 towards its planned drilling in 2018.

Following the successful exploration program conducted during the 12-month option period, Kingston confirmed that it had exercised the option to acquire 75% of the project and, in accordance with the terms of the option agreement, had issued 16,413,039 shares (Livingstone Shares) on 8 December 2017 to the Vendors which utilised a portion of the Company’s placement capacity to issue shares under Listing Rule 7.1.

RESOLUTIONS

1. Resolution 1 – Ratification of Prior Issue of Misima Transaction Shares (WCB Liabilities and Advisor Fees)

Resolution 1 proposes that shareholders of the Company approve and ratify the issue and allotment of 21,272,386 Misima Transaction Shares which was made on 17 November 2017 as part of the completed Merger with WCB.

As noted above, the Company, as an ASX listed company is entitled to the 15% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1. The Company, at the 2017 Annual General Meeting held on 29 November 2017, obtained shareholder approval for the additional 10% placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1A. As further noted above, the Company utilised a portion of its placement capacity Under Listing Rule 7.1 to issue and allot 21,272,386 Misima Transaction Shares.

The effect of approval of this Resolution 1 is to allow the Board of the Company to rely on Listing Rule 7.4, insofar as it relates to the issue of the 21,372,386 Misima Transaction Shares, which will allow the Company to issue additional securities utilising its placement capacity under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A after this Resolution is adopted, instead of having to wait until 12 months after the issue (insofar as it relates to the issue of Misima Transaction Shares under Listing Rule 7.1) and until the next Annual General Meeting (which is when the placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1A needs to be annually renewed).

Information Required by Listing Rule 7.5

The following information in relation to the Misima Transaction Shares is provided to shareholders for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:

  • (a) The Company issued 21,272,386 Misima Transaction Shares utilising placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

  1. Resolutions 4 and 5 – Approval to correct the terms and conditions of the Short Term Incentive Performance Rights granted to Mr Andrew Corbett and Mr Andrew Paterson.

Background

At the Company’s Annual General Meeting held on 29 November 2017, the Company obtained shareholder approval for the grant of:

  • (a) up to 6,399,266 Short Term Incentive Performance Rights (STI Performance Rights) to Mr Andrew Corbett; and

  • (b) up to 5,446,184 Short Term Incentive Performance Rights ( STI Performance Rights ) to Mr Andrew Paterson.

The grant of STI Performance Rights formed part of the FY18 remuneration packages for Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson and is intended to:

  • (a) provide an appropriate and adequate incentive for Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson;

  • (b) ensure the Company retains the services of Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson; and

  • (c) reinforce the commitment of both Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson as Executive Directors.

The STI Performance Rights were issued to Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson on 8 December 2017. The Company is seeking shareholder approval to correct the terms and conditions of the STI Performance Rights as set out below.

In the explanatory statement to Resolutions 6 and 7 of the Notice of Meeting held on 29 November 2017, the key terms of the STI Performance Rights issued to Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson were outlined as follows:

“The STI Performance Rights will be issued for nil consideration.

The performance and vesting conditions for the STI Performance Rights are as follows:

7

  • (a) Up to 50% of the STI Performance Rights will automatically vest if, the 30-day VWAP at 30 June 2018 is between 150% and 200% greater than $0.019 per Share

  • (b) Up to 25% of the STI Performance Rights will vest, at the Board’s discretion, upon the achievement of business development measures, including the delivery of the Company’s Business Development Plan for 30 June 2018.

  • (c) Up to 25% of the STI Performance Rights will vest, at the Boards discretion, upon the achievement of operational and management objectives measured against the Company’s Operational Plan by 30 June 2018.

All STI Performance Rights that have not vested by 31 July 2018 will automatically lapse and be forfeited.

The unvested STI Performance Rights of Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson will automatically lapse and be forfeited if either Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson voluntarily resigns otherwise than to take up employment with a Related Body Corporate of the Company or if either Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson are dismissed from employment for a material breach of his contract of employment, gross negligence or other conduct justifying termination without notice. STI Performance Rights will not lapse if either Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson ceases employment due to death, permanent disablement, or any other circumstance in which the Board determines the STI Performance Rights should not lapse.

Each STI Performance Right entitles Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson to receive, upon vesting, one Share. The STI Performance Rights will be unquoted and may not be sold, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, charged, encumbered with a security interest in or over them, or otherwise disposed of without the prior consent of the Board or where such assignment or transfer occurs by force of law. The STI Performance Rights will not entitle Mr Corbett or Mr Paterson to receive dividends on Shares before vesting nor will they carry any voting rights.

On 8 December 2017, the Company issued a clarification to shareholders that the wording in paragraph (a) of the above performance and vesting conditions for the STI Performance Rights (Explanatory Statement to Resolutions 6 and 7 – Notice of 2017 Annual General Meeting) was incorrect and should have read (with the change marked up):

  • “(a) Up to 50% of the STI Performance Rights will automatically vest if, the 30-day VWAP at 30 June 2018 is between 150% and 200% of ~~greater than $~~ 0.019 per Share”.

The corrected full terms and conditions of the STI Performance Rights issued to Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson are set out in Schedule 3 to this Explanatory Statement.

The Board has previously indicated that it considers that shareholder approval for the amendment should be obtained. There is no Listing Rule or Corporations Act requirement to obtain shareholder approval for the amendment.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors other than Mr Corbett and Mr Paterson (as appropriate) recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 4 and 5.
