Kin Mining NL (ASX: KIN) is pleased to announce the company has mined the first ore at Lewis Open Pit at the Leonora Gold Project. This is a significant milestone for Kin as it represents another step forward to becoming a gold producing company.
The Lewis trial mining operation is viewed as a low start-up cost open cut mining exercise that will effectively test a high grade portion of the larger Bruno-Lewis Cardinia supergene resource which currently stands at 3.4Mt @ 1.3 g/t Au for 139,400 ounces.

Key Objectives
The Lewis Open Pit key objectives:
-
Generate a cash positive operation
-
Establish accurate mining costs which will aid in the economic evaluation of the larger Cardinia supergene resource
-
Obtain accurate Specific Gravity data throughout the operation that will be incorporated into the resource model
-
Determine metallurgical recovery rate of the Cardinia ore
-
Define Vat Leach recovery rates of the Cardinia ore
The Lewis trial mining operation will effectively test a high grade portion of the larger BrunoLewis Cardinia supergene resource and determine the economic viability of extraction and processing.

Ore Treatment Options
Negotiations have commenced with Golden Mile Milling Pty Ltd regarding the option for toll treatment of the Lewis ore at the Lakewood Gold Processing Facility (Lakewood GPF). The Lakewood GPF is located approximately 5km south-east of the city of Kalgoorlie-Boulder on mining leases M26/242 and M26/367. The area was historically used as a main tailings stockpile for the ‘Golden Mile’ with over 70 million tonnes of tailings stockpiled.
Lakewood GPF is owned and operated by Golden Mile Milling Pty Ltd, a gold exploration and mining company. The premise was originally constructed as Lakewood Mill in 1989, and were operated intermittently for tailings re-treatment prior to purchase by Silver Lake Resources

Commentary
Managing Director Trevor Dixon said “ This is a significant milestone in the company’s development. The team have been working hard to deliver the first ore before the first half of the year, and it is pleasing to see Kin achieve this goal. Negotiations have commenced for toll treatment of the first parcel of ore which is seen as an excellent strategy to reduce risk of the mining operation, yet still enable the company to move forward with our vat leach test work. This is exciting times for Kin at the moment and the current gold price will have a positive effect on the economics of the operation.”
