ASX Announcement 2 June 2021

KIN MINING PURCHASES 1.5% NET SMELTER ROYALTY OVER CARDINIA GOLD PROJECT, WA

Acquisition of third-party royalty from previous financing arrangement streamlines future development options, enhances project economics and reduces administrative costs

Highlights

  • Kin Mining purchases the existing 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) over the first 100,000oz of gold production at the Cardinia Gold Project.

  • The royalty was owned by Sprott Private Resource Lending and was put in place as part of the previous US$27m financing for the project in 2017 (ASX release, 6 December 2017).

  • Purchase price of US$600,000 cash represents 22c in the dollar face value of the NSR at the current US$1,912/oz gold price.

  • Royalty remains on foot and assigned to a Kin Mining entity for possible future financing options.

  • Pivotal step in advancing Cardinia and maximising its value for shareholders.

Kin Mining NL (ASX: KIN) (“ Kin ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to advise that it has reached agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending ( Sprott ) to purchase the 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) over the first 100,000oz of gold production from its 100%-owned Cardinia Gold Project ( CGP ) near Leonora in WA.

The 1.5% NSR formed part of the US$27 million financing package provided by Sprott as part of the original development plan for the Leonora Gold Project (now CGP) in 2017 (refer Kin Mining Announcement, 6 December 2017).

The Company has agreed to purchase the royalty for US$600,000 cash, which is equivalent to 22c in the dollar face value of the NSR based on the current spot gold price of US$1,912/oz. The royalty remains on foot and has been assigned to a Kin Mining entity, enhancing the Company’s future options with regard to funding for the CGP.

Commenting on the transaction, Kin Mining Managing Director Andrew Munckton said: “This is an important step for us in advancing the Cardinia Gold Project to the next stage and ensuring we maximise the value of the project for our shareholders.

“We have been able to negotiate a purchase price which equates to around 22% of the face value of the royalty – a good result in the current strong gold price environment. Plus, the transaction has a number of benefits for Kin Mining in terms of our development and growth as a company.”

“The purchase enhances the project economics by increasing the margin on the first 100,000oz of gold production. It removes a security held by third parties over key mining tenure within the project linked to the royalty. And finally, it streamlines and enhances our future development, financing and transaction ability by simplifying the structure and reducing future administrative costs.

“The royalty remains on foot and has been assigned to a Kin Mining owned entity, which means it can be utilised in the future should we need to do so as part of our potential financing arrangements.”
