The funds raised will strengthen the Company’s balance sheet, putting it in a strong position 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 the highly successful exploration campaigns completed during 2019 and 2020.

This includes the emerging discoveries at Cardinia Hill, East Lynne, Collymore and Lewis East as well as multiple new prospects which have been identified following significant advancements in the Company’s understanding of the geology and potential of the Cardinia Project.
Commenting on the capital raising, Kin Managing Director Andrew Munckton said:
“We are extremely grateful for the incredible support shown by our major shareholders, and we also take the opportunity to welcome a number of new investors to our register. While we made enormous progress last year in the 60,000 metres or so of drilling completed, we believe we still have a long way to go to demonstrate the full potential of the Cardinia Gold Project and increase our resource base to the next level.
“The geological and technical advances made in recent months, particularly the recent gravity survey, has transformed our understanding of the field. Armed with this knowledge and our expanding geochemical and drilling database, we are moving ahead with confidence as drilling resumes this week. We plan to drill some 30,000 metres in the first half of this year across a range of established and new prospects, building on the 60,000 metres completed last year.
“All of which means that investors can look forward to news-flow and action aplenty as we work hard to deliver results and upside from the Cardinia Gold Project for our shareholders.”
