ASX Announcement 5 August 2021
KIN MINING NL 2021 GENERAL MEETING
Chairman’s Address
To be delivered at the Company’s General Meeting to be held at 10am, Thursday 5 August 2021.
Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to this General Meeting of Kin Mining NL (Kin).
Thank you for attending Kin’s General Meeting.
Due to the current social distancing requirements we are holding this meeting as a fully virtual meeting and I would like to welcome you all.
Thanks to the continued application of the exploration-driven strategy I outlined last year, we have continued to add significant value to our flagship Cardinia Gold Project (CGP) in Western Australia – growing our resource inventory, making new discoveries, unlocking other value transactions and putting the Company in the best possible position to participate in what we believe will be an inevitable consolidation of assets in the Leonora district.
Much of our success can be attributed to the “back-to-basics” exploration philosophy which has seen our geology team undertake some outstanding work – applying modern geological thinking and drawing on the latest geophysical and remote-sensing techniques to achieve a major leap forward in our geological understanding of the gold-bearing structures at the CGP.
Despite the challenges associated with the recent surge in exploration activity across the WA resources sector – which has seen a significant industry-wide tightening in the market for people, equipment and services – our team has been able to maintain almost continuous drilling activity across the year.

ASX Code: KIN Shares on issue: 799.2 million Market Capitalisation: $116 million Cash: $7.4 million (30 June 2021)

This is a tremendous achievement, particularly considering that we have maintained an excellent safety record throughout and ensured the continuity of our business against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, with all of its associated threats and challenges.
During the year, we progressed our Phase 3 resource drilling program at the CGP, completing over 32,500m of drilling in the first half of calendar year 2021 alone. This work was focused on delivering a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the exciting Cardinia Hill discovery, while also testing a number of compelling regional targets and conducting extensional and in-fill drilling at the cornerstone Bruno-Lewis deposit.
A highly-successful $12.8 million capital raising was completed in the early part of this calendar year through a strongly-supported Placement and Share Purchase Plan. This enabled us to push ahead seamlessly with the completion of the Phase 3 drilling and the start of our Phase 4 exploration program.
Our exploration endeavours during the year underpinned a project-wide Mineral Resource update to 1.15 million ounces in December, and then a further update to 1.23 million ounces in April this year. Importantly, the higher-confidence Measured and Indicated components of the Mineral Resource estimate increased by 15% to 17 million tonnes at 1.39g/t for 762,000oz of contained ounces of gold.
As a result of the successful programs completed in the first half of the year, we expect to announce a further Mineral Resource update in the September 2021 Quarter.
We believe that high-quality Resource inventory, located in the heart of the Tier-1 Leonora-Laverton region – together with the untapped exploration upside within our large 657 square kilometre strategic ground-holding – will ultimately be the key drivers of value for our shareholders.
In this regard, in July we welcomed ASX-200 listed gold miner, St Barbara Limited as a new significant shareholder with a 19.79 per cent holding, acquired from one of our founding shareholders, Harmanis Holdings.
St Barbara is a well-regarded Australian-based gold producer with operations located just 40km from the CGP. Their Leonora Province Operations include the Gwalia underground mine and 1.2Mtpa processing facility, located within economic haulage distance of all our main deposits.

We are very much looking forward to working with St Barbara to further grow the Cardinia Gold Project. We can understand the strategic interest of St. Barbara in our company, given our extensive Mineral Resource, exploration potential, and commercial proximity to their Gwalia Operations and welcome them as a supportive strategic investor. We also see other surrounding potential partners with processing operations within our area and remain focused on the best commercial solution for all partners involved, not least of which are our longstanding shareholders.
In closing, the past 12 months have laid the foundations for Kin Mining to move to the next level at the CGP, with the expected delivery of successive Mineral Resource updates over the course of FY2022, as well as ongoing drilling to deliver new near-mine and regional discoveries in the Leonora district.
These programs will underpin the Company’s transition from explorer to developer and ultimately to gold producer.
Your Directors and Management are excited for what the future will bring by way of further exploration success and development opportunities and we continue to strive for success in the growth of our business.
Yours sincerely Joe Graziano.
