ASX Announcement 2 September 2021
MOUNT FLORA EMERGING AS A LARGE MINERALISED SYSTEM
Drilling highlights an emerging discovery – 700m long and up to 150m wide
Highlights
Outstanding 4m composite assay results received from follow up air-core (AC) drilling at the Mount Flora prospect, located 20km east of the Cardinia Project. Results include:
-
8m at 3.75g/t Au from 32m (MF21AC710)
-
16m at 1.16g/t Au from 24m (MF21AC715)
-
4m at 4.34g/t Au from 12m (MF21AC760)
-
4m at 1.30g/t Au from 24m (MF21AC719)
-
Additional high-grade, bottom-of-hole samples:
o 1m at 5.39g/t Au from 76m (MF21AC717) o 2m at 1.72g/t Au from 20m (MF21AC762)
Eastern Zone contains continuous mineralised zone now outlined over an area 700m long and up to 150m wide containing numerous ore grade drilling results coincident with shallow east-dipping quartz sulphide mineralisation in mafic rocks.
North West Zone contains semi-continuous mineralised zone outlined over an area 400m long and up to 80m wide containing several ore grade drilling results.
Results awaited for a further 215 holes over six lines of drilling to test potential extensions of the mineralisation below gold-in-soil anomalies over a strike length of 1.6km.
Kin Mining Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said: “While still early days, Mt Flora has all the hallmarks of a significant new discovery which is quite different to what we’ve seen in the Cardinia area before. The aircore drilling has so far outlined a substantial mineralised position in the eastern side of our tenure and an additional smaller zone in the north-west.
“The eastern zone contains numerous ore grade hits in shallow drilling within a zone extending over at least 700m in length and up to 150m wide. New intersections such as 8m at 3.75g/t Au and 16m at 1.16g/t Au support earlier spectacular intersections such as 22m at 8.96g/t and 8m at 2.79g/t Au in the first pass of shallow air-core drilling in a new area. The eastern zone has been intersected on all eight lines of 100m spaced

drilling returned to date and remains open to the north and east – suggesting that this is shaping up as a potential discovery of considerable scale and potential for Kin.”
“Given the widespread nature of the ore grade intercepts we have seen, we will now move to a broad-spaced RC and diamond drilling program at Mt Flora as a priority. We will be pushing hard to get the first deeper drilling into this area as quickly as possible while we wait for the remaining assays to confirm potential extensions to the eastern mineralisation and the other complementary zones.
“Mount Flora formed part of the original Kin Mining IPO but has had relatively little exploration attention until recently when the regional exploration program commenced. This program is targeting potential satellite discoveries which can be complementary to our central Cardinia asset.”
Kin Mining NL (ASX: KIN or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that it has intersected significant zones of shallow, high-grade, gold mineralisation in a follow up air-core (AC) drilling program at the Mount Flora prospect, located 20km from its 100%-owned 1.23Moz Cardinia Gold Project (CGP) near Leonora in Western Australia.
The latest results include a number of strong intercepts such as 8m at 3.75g/t Au from 32m in MF21AC710 and 16m at 1.16g/t Au from 24m in MF21AC715, located along strike from drill-hole MF21AC522 which intersected 22m at 8.96g/t Au from 24m and 8m at 2.79g/t Au from 28m in MF21AC524, together with other significant shallow results.
The results have confirmed the discovery of a significant zone of new mineralisation and rapidly elevated the Mount Flora prospect as a priority for the Company’s exploration team.
The Mount Flora prospect was identified as a satellite target after regional, wide-spaced auger sampling undertaken in late 2020. The auger program identified a number of gold-in-soil anomalies, which were NNEtrending parallel to the dominant north-east oriented structural trend, represented by the Federation, Sligo Creek and Lady Susan Faults (Figure 1).

Initial 2021 Air-core Drilling Program
Kin Mining completed a maiden program of air-core drilling at Mount Flora in April 2021, comprising a total of 269 drill-holes for 10,166m on 11 lines of drilling at 200m line spacings targeting three gold-in-soil anomalies (refer ASX announcements 27 May and 4 June 2021).
The maiden program received outstanding results, particularly at the eastern zone of mineralisation. These assays identified several mineralised trends, interpreted to be associated with splays originating from the Federation Fault and other parallel structures (see Figure 1).
- Follow Up 2021 Air core Drilling Program
Follow up AC drilling completed in July 2021 comprised an additional 268 AC holes (for 10,763m) on an additional 13 lines designed to:
-
In-fill to 100m line spacing the eastern zone mineralisation;
-
Test potential extensions of the eastern zone, north and south at 200m line spacing underneath areas of weakly anomalous soil geochemistry;
-
Test further east along existing lines where favourable geology and quartz veins were intersected in the end-of-line holes; and
-
In-fill to 100m line spacing the north west zone.
The assay results have been returned for the in-fill to 100m line spacing over the eastern zone, confirming that a continuous zone of mineralised lodes spanning at least 700m of strike and up to 150m wide is present at this location.
Multi-element assay results for bottom-of-hole samples used to characterise the mineralisation, alteration and rock types have confirmed that the gold mineralisation is associated with anomalous silver, tellurium and tungsten in sulphide-rich quartz vein structures within mafic rocks. Significant intercepts for the AC drilling received to date are illustrated in Figure 2, summarised in Table 1 with hole details provided in Table 2.
Additional AC drilling to extend existing drill lines and test the eastern zone for an additional 900m along strike to the north has been completed. The locations of these additional drill lines where assays are awaited are illustrated in Figure 2.
In addition, in-fill drilling at the north-west zone has confirmed the presence of semi-continuous, near-surface mineralisation over a strike length of 400m and up to 80m in width in two separate zones (see Figure 2).
The next phase of work, comprising RC and diamond drilling to confirm mineralisation in fresh rock, is planned to commence as soon as drill rigs become available, scheduled for early October – by which time the remaining assay results from the extensional AC drilling lines are expected to have been received.

ABOUT KIN MINING NL

Mount Flora Project - Section 1 & 2
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | • JORC Code explanation | Commentary | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | Nature and quality of sampling (e.g., cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g., ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30g charge forfire assay’). In other |
RAB Historic rotary air blast (RAB) samples were typically collected at 1 metre intervals and placed on the ground with 3-4kg sub- samples collected using a scoop or spear. Three metre or four metre composited interval samples were often collected by using a scoop (dry samples) or spear (wet samples). If composite samples returned anomalous results once assayed, the single metre sub-samples of the anomalous composite intervals were retrieved and submitted for individual gold analysis. Assay Methodology Historic sample analysis typically included a number of commercial laboratories with preparation as per the following method, oven drying (90-110°C), crushing (<-2mm to <-6mm), pulverizing (<-75μm to <-105μm), and riffle split to obtain a 30, 40, or 50gram catchweight for gold analysis. Fire Assay fusion, with AAS finish was the common method of analysis however, on occasion, initial assaying may have been carried out via Aqua Regia digest and AAS/ICP finish. Anomalous samples were subsequently re-assayed by Fire Assay fusion and AAS/ICP finish. Recent sample analysis typically included oven drying (105-110°C), crushing (<-6mm & <-2mm), pulverising (P90% <-75μm) and sample splitting to a representative 50gram catchweight sample for gold only analysis using Fire Assay fusion with AAS finish. Multi element analysis was also conducted on approximately 10% of samples, predominantly through ore zones. This was conducted via a 4-acid digest with ICP-MS/OES determination for a 48-element suite. Auger All auger vehicle mounted powered auger. The samples are taken from 1-2m below surface and taken from the most suitable material downhole. Care is taken to ensure all samples are representative of the medium being sampled. All recent drilling, sample collection and sample handling procedures were conducted and/or supervised by KIN geology personnel to high level industry standards. QA/QC procedures were implemented during each drilling program to industry standards. |

| cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g., submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
|||
| Drilling techniques | Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g., core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). |
Drilling carried out since 1986 and up to the most recent drill programs completed by KIN Mining was obtained from a combination of air core (AC), and rotary air blast (RAB) drilling. Data prior to 1986 is limited due to lack of exploration. AC/RAB Historic AC drilling was conducted utilizing suitable rigs with appropriate compressors (e.g., 250psi/600cfm). AC holes were drilled using ‘blade’ or ‘wing’ bits, until the bit was unable to penetrate (‘blade refusal’), often near the fresh rock interface. Hammer bits were used only when it was deemed necessary to penetrate further into the fresh rock profile or through notable “hard boundaries” in the regolith profile. No downhole surveying is noted to have been undertaken on AC drillholes. Historic RAB drilling was carried out using small air compressors (e.g., 250psi/600cfm) and drill rods fitted with a percussion hammer or blade bit, with the sample return collected at the drillhole collar using a stuffing box and cyclone collection techniques. Drillhole sizes generally range between 75-110mm. No downhole surveying is noted to have been undertaken on RAB drillholes. |
|
| Drill sample recovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
AC/RAB Historic sample recovery information for RAB drilling is not available. Collected samples are deemed reliable and representative of drilled material and no material discrepancy, AC and RAB drilling samples are not used in MRE’s by KIN. |
|
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support |
Logging data coded in the database is limited for AC/RAB drilling. Historical data (SOG) is of poor quality. Historical RC, AC, and RAB logging (including Navigator) was entered on a metre-by-metre basis. Logging consisted of lithology, alteration, texture, mineralisation, weathering, and other features. |

| appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
KIN RC logging of was carried out in the field and logging has predominantly been undertaken on a metre-by-metre basis. Recorded data includes lithology, alteration, structure, texture, mineralisation, sulphide content, weathering and other features. Drillhole collar coordinates, azimuth, dip, depth and sampling intervals are also recorded. Qualitative logging includes classification and description of lithology, weathering, oxidation, colour, texture and grain size. Quantitative logging includes identification and percentages of mineralogy, sulphides, mineralisation, and veining. All information collected is entered directly into laptop computers or tablets, validated in the field, and then transferred to the database. The level of logging detail is considered appropriate for exploration and to support appropriate mineral resource estimation, mining studies, and metallurgical studies. |

| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
AC/RAB Historic sampling was predominantly conducted by collecting 1m samples from beneath a cyclone and retaining these primary samples. First pass sampling involved collecting composite samples by using a scoop to obtain 4m composited intervals. All sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation procedures conducted and/or supervised by KIN geology personnel are to standard industry practice. Sub-sampling and sample preparation techniques used are considered to maximise representivity of drilled material. QA/QC procedures implemented during each drilling program are to industry standard practice. Samples sizes are considered appropriate for this style of gold mineralisation and as an industry accepted method for evaluation of gold deposits in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. No duplicates are taken for AC drilling. Sample sizes are approximately 3kg, this is considered appropriate for the material being sampled. |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
Numerous assay laboratories and various sample preparation and assay techniques have been used since 1981. Historical reporting and descriptions of laboratory sample preparation, assaying procedures, and quality control protocols for the samples from the various drilling programs are variable in their descriptions and completeness. Assay data obtained prior to 2001 is incomplete and the nature of results could not be accurately quantified due to the |

combinations of various laboratories and analytical methodologies utilised.
From late 2018 samples have been analysed by Intertek Genalysis, with sample preparation either at their Kalgoorlie prep laboratory or the Perth Laboratory located in Maddington. Sample preparation included oven drying (105°C), crushing (<6mm), pulverising (P90% passing 75µm) and split to obtain a 50 gram catchweight. Analysis for gold only was carried out by Fire Assay fusion technique with AAS finish.
-
KIN regularly insert blanks and CRM standards in each sample batch at a ratio of 1:25. Kin accepts that this ratio of QAQC is industry standard. Field duplicates are typically collected at a ratio of 1:25 samples and test sample assay repeatability. Blanks and CRM standards assay result performance is predominantly within acceptable limits for this style of gold mineralisation.
-
KIN requests laboratory pulp grind and crush checks at a ratio of 1:50 or less since May 2018 in order to better qualify sample preparation and evaluate laboratory performance. Samples have generally illustrated appropriate crush and grind size percentages since the addition of this component to the sample analysis procedure.
-
Genalysis include laboratory blanks and CRM standards as part of their internal QA/QC for sample preparation and analysis, as well as regular assay repeats. Sample pulp assay repeatability, and internal blank and CRM standards assay results are typically within acceptable limits.
The nature and quality of the assaying and laboratory procedures used are considered to be satisfactory and appropriate for use in mineral resource estimations.
Fire Assay fusion is considered to be a total extraction technique. The majority of assay data used for the mineral resource estimations were obtained by the Fire Assay technique with AAS or ICP finish. AAS and ICP methods of detection are both considered to be suitable and appropriate methods of detection for this style of mineralisation
Aqua Regia is considered a partial extraction technique, where gold encapsulated in refractory sulphides or some silicate minerals may not be fully dissolved, resulting in partial reporting of gold content.
No other analysis techniques have been used to determine gold assays. Ongoing QAQC monitoring program identified one particular CRM returning spurious results. Further analysis demonstrated that the standard was compromised and was subsequently removed and destroyed. A replacement CRM of similar grade was substituted into the QAQC program.
KIN continues to both develop and reinforce best practice QAQC methods for all drilling operations and the treatment and analysis of samples. Regular laboratory site visits and audits have been introduced since April 2018 and will be conducted on a quarterly basis. This measure will ensure that all aspects of KIN QAQC practices are adhered to and align with industry best practice.
All rock chip samples have been submitted to Intertek Genalysis (Perth) for analysis by 50g Fire assay, with multi-element analysis via a 4-acid digest for a 48-element suite. Sample preparation included oven drying (105°C), crushing (<6mm), pulverising (P90% passing 75µm). Blanks and standards are inserted by the lab at a minimum rate of 1 in 50. Lab repeats are performed for samples with particularly high gold values. Due to the nature and intended uses of this data, this QAQC procedure is intentionally less rigorous than that used for drilling samples. Verification of sampling and The verification of significant Verification of sampling, assay techniques, and results prior to 2004 is limited due to the legacy of the involvement of various

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
AC drill holes are a first pass test for mineralisation. Spacing is varied depending on depth of drilling and the weathering profile. AC drilling will not be utilised in any future MRE work. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
Orientation of mineralisation is unknown. AC drilling will not be utilised in any future MRE work. |

| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
Drilling orientation was on East-west GDA94 grid lines. | |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
Historic drilling and sampling methods and QA/QC are regarded as not being as thoroughly documented compared to current standards. Inhouse reviews of various available historical company reports of drilling and sampling techniques indicates that these were most likely conducted to industry best practice and standards of the day. Drilling, sampling methodologies, and assay techniques used in these drilling programs are considered to be appropriate and to mineral exploration industry standards of the day. Laboratory site visits and audits were introduced in April 2018 and are conducted on a quarterly basis. This measure ensures that all aspects of KIN QAQC practices are adhered to and align with industry best practice. |

Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The Mount Flora Project, 50-60km NE of Leonora is managed, explored and maintained by KIN, and constitute a portion of KIN’s Leonora Gold Project (LGP), which is located within the Shire of Leonora in the Mt Margaret Mineral Field of the North Eastern Goldfields. The Mount Flora Project includes granted mining tenement M39/1118 prospecting licenses P39/5859 and P39/5860. The tenements are held in the name of Kin East Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of KIN. There are no known native title interests, historical sites, wilderness areas, national park or environmental impediments over the outlined current resource areas, and there are no current impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |

The regional geology comprises a suite of NNE-North trending greenstones positioned close to the Federation Fault. The geology is consistent Archaean basalts and sediment sequences with mafic intrusives. Archaean felsic porphyries have intruded the sheared mafic/sedimentary sequence. Mineralisation is not yet understood but appears to be Epizonal and structurally controlled. |

| Drill hole Information | A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: • easting and northing of the drill hole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • down hole length and interception depth • hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
No previous Material drilling information for exploration results has previously been publicly reported to the ASX KIN. |
| Data aggregation methods | In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g., cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Intercepts are reported as weighted average grades over intercept lengths defined by lower cut-off grades, without high grade cuts applied. Where aggregate intercepts incorporated short lengths of high grade results, these results were included in the reports. There is no reporting of metal equivalent values. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
The orientation, true width, and geometry of mineralised zones is unknown for Mount Flora. Down hole widths are reported. |

|---|---|---|
| intercept lengths | If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
Drill intercepts are reported as downhole widths not true widths. Accompanying dialogue to reported intersections normally describes the attitude of mineralisation. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Appropriate maps and sections are included in the main body of this report. |
| Balanced reporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
Public reporting of exploration results by KIN and past tenement holders and explorers for the resource areas are considered balanced. Representative widths typically included a combination of both low and high grade assay results. All meaningful and material information relating to this mineral resource estimate is or has been previously reported. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
No other exploration exists for the Mount Flora Project. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
KIN intend to continue exploration and drilling activities at in the described area, with the intention to increase the project’s resources. |
