Funds will allow drilling to continue across several emerging discoveries

Highlights

  • Non-underwritten pro-rata 1-for-6.5 non-renounceable Entitlement Offer to be launched at $0.105 per share to raise gross proceeds of $12.92M.
  • Commitments received from substantial shareholders to subscribe for $3.840M (30%) of the entitlements.
  • Offer price represents a 19% discount to the closing price on 8 October 2021 of $0.1300, a 13.6% discount to the 5-day VWAP price of $0.1215 and 12.6% discount to the 10-day VWAP price of $0.1201.
  • Proceeds to be used for the next phase of exploration across established and new prospects at the Cardinia Gold Project, as part of the Company's exploration-driven strategy to further expand its 1.28Moz inventory and make new discoveries.

Kin Mining NL (ASX: KIN or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it will undertake a non-underwritten non renounceable 1-for-6.5 pro-rata Entitlement Offer to raise up to $12.92 million to progress the next phase of exploration at its 100%-owned Cardinia Gold Project (CGP) near Leonora in Western Australia.

Entitlement Offer

The Entitlement Offer, which is available to all eligible shareholders, includes the opportunity to subscribe for 1 new share for every 6.5 shares held at an offer price of $0.105 a share.

The Company has received confirmation from 2 of its substantial shareholders that they intend to subscribe for all or a substantial portion of their entitlements in the Entitlement Offertotalling $3.84M. Collectively these shareholders have provided commitments to subscribe for 30% of the Entitlement Offer.

The Company will retain the right, at the Directors' discretion, to place the shortfall on no worse terms in the three months following the completion of the Entitlement Offer.

The funds raised will provide Kin with sufficient working capital to complete the next phase of systematic exploration work at the CGP and to follow up on the exciting new discoveries and targets identified as part of its highly successful drilling campaigns completed during 2020 and 2021. These include the emerging discoveries at Mt Flora and Iron King, as well as multiple new prospects which have been identified following

significant improvements in the Company's understanding of the geology and potential of the CGP such as the Eagle and Crow prospects.

Commenting on the capital raising, Kin Managing Director Andrew Munckton said: "We've had considerable success converting our improving geological understanding into exploration results, and then converting those results into additional Mineral Resources. At Cardinia Hill, we have successfully added 106koz of new Mineral Resources, while the Bruno-Lewis Mineral Resource has been expanded by 20% to 374koz.

"Our systematic approach to exploration has paid off in spades and given us a much better idea of where and how to target the next phase of drilling – which will be designed both to define new resources and to identify additional discoveries with the potential to deliver a step-change in the scale of the project.

"The additional funding will allow us to continue to assess the recent discoveries at Cardinia Hill and follow up on new prospects like Mt Flora, Eagle and Crow – in short to maintain the very strong exploration momentum we have built up over the past two years.

"These other targets have been identified by recent soil geochemistry and modern geophysical surveys over largely untested areas within the highly mineralised Cardinia area. We expect this work to generate new follow-up programs of work stretching into 2022."

Use of Funds

The company has adequate cash for its current activities and is completing this raise to fund future exploration plans. An indicative use of funds from the Entitlement Offer proceeds is provided as follows:

Activity Budget ('000)
Next phase of exploration activities $6,000
Subsequent phases of exploration activities $5,500
Project holding costs $500
General working capital $917

Additional Entitlement Offer details

New shares issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing shares on issue and the Company will apply for official quotation of the new shares.

Option-holders are not entitled to participate in the Entitlement Offer without first exercising their options to be registered as a shareholder (in Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Singapore) on the Record Date, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the options.

The Company will not accept applications for shares in addition to shareholders' entitlements but will retain the right to place the shortfall on no worse terms in the three months following the completion of the Entitlement Offer.
