The gold mineralisation is hosted in a supergene blanket that covers the entire Lewis resource which is laterally extensive and predominantly sits between 6m and 25m below surface.

The Lewis starter pits are located within this larger supergene deposit and represent a shallow, free dig scenario which eliminates blasting costs. The two starter pits are designed to generate cash flow as they focus on higher grade ore close to surface.

Extensive close spaced grade control RC drilling on 5m by 8m centres has been completed from surface covering the entire starter pits, further reducing start-up costs.

On site leaching is envisaged as the quickest and lowest cost treatment option.

Kin’s Managing Director said, “ This funding arrangement allows Kin to take advantage of an early stage mining opportunity at the Lewis prospect. Our focus is to transition Kin to a gold producer in a gold precinct that is renowned for gold production. The Lewis trial mining area represents an outstanding opportunity which has undergone extensive preliminary mine planning, providing a clearly defined pathway to production. Previous mining at Cardinia was extremely successful as the mined grades were better than expected .”
