Corporate

  • Acquisition of the third-party 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) over the first 100,000oz of gold production from the CGP, streamlining future development options, enhancing project economics and reducing administrative costs.

OVERVIEW

The June Quarter has seen further positive progress for Kin Mining NL (Kin or the Company) (ASX: KIN), with the delivery of an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Company’s flagship 100%-owned Cardinia Gold Project (CGP or the Project) in Western Australia (Figure 1) providing further confirmation of its potential to host a significant long-term gold mining operation.

Kin Mining Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said:

“Thanks to the successful $12.8 million capital raising completed last quarter, Kin Mining has been able to maintain an impressive pace of exploration results and resource development activity during the June Quarter – notwithstanding the capacity constraints and personnel shortages being experienced across the sector.

“We delivered a further increase in the Mineral Resource at the Cardinia Gold Project to 1.23 million ounces, including a 15% increase in the all-important, higher-confidence Measured and Indicated components to 762,000 ounces. This incorporated the results from earlier drilling programs at the Bruno-Lewis and Hobby deposits.

“We are now working towards the next Resource update for the CGP scheduled for the September Quarter, which will include the impressive results generated from in-fill and extensional drilling at our developing Cardinia Hill deposit.

“Major air-core programs also continued across the project during the quarter targeting the next stepchange in growth at the CGP. It’s been really pleasing to see two new areas emerge as early contenders in this regard – Eagle-Crow and Mount Flora.

“Eagle-Crow is located just 2km from the centre of the CGP and has revealed early potential for an extensive, shallow gold discovery with striking early-stage similarities to both Bruno-Lewis and Cardinia Hill. At Mount Flora, 20km east of the CGP, shallow air-core drilling intercepted 22m at 8.96g/t Au, rapidly elevating this area to high-priority exploration status.

“Our follow-up RC drilling at Eagle-Crow has commenced and our ongoing regional exploration program will also see follow-up AC and RC drilling at Mt Flora, auger and geochemical programs across the Randwick and Murrin prospects and our maiden drilling program at the recently identified Mount Fouracre nickel target.

“The objective of the regional program is to systematically test the wide range of exploration opportunities across the Company’s broader tenement holding to determine the potential for new discoveries and emerging satellite opportunities to complement the core 1.23Moz CGP.

“On the corporate front, Kin significantly streamlined its future development options for the CGP during the Quarter with the acquisition of the existing 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) over the first 100,000oz of gold production. 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.

“The acquisition streamlines future development options, enhances project economics and reduces administrative costs for the CGP, with the acquisition cost of US$600,000 cash representing a good outcome for shareholders in the current strong gold price environment.”

EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

Following the completion of the CGP Pre-Feasibility Study in August 2019, Kin began to evaluate exploration opportunities across its tenement package, in conjunction with other consolidation, growth and strategic options within the region.

Kin has a dominant 657km[2] land-holding across the under-explored Minerie Greenstone Belt, part of a region which has yielded multiple gold deposits in recent decades. The CGP area encompasses a +45km strike of the Minerie Formation which contains large alteration systems and several significant gold deposits.

No substantive development activities occurred during the quarter, with the Company’s focus remaining on progressing a multi-pronged exploration effort aimed at unlocking the full potential of the Cardinia Project.

Updated Mineral Resource Estimate

Kin delivered an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the CGP in May, comprising 30Mt at 1.28g/t Au for 1.23Moz of contained gold , including new estimates for the Bruno-Lewis and Hobby deposits.

Importantly, the May 2021 MRE included a 15% increase in the higher-confidence Measured and Indicated portion of the Mineral Resource to 17Mt at 1.39g/t for 762,000oz , reflecting successful in-fill and extensional drilling programs conducted in recent months and demonstrating the scale and quality of the CGP resource inventory.

Recent drilling of Inferred Mineral Resource positions and new, higher grade intersections have added an additional 1.4Mt at 1.40g/t for 63,000oz at Bruno-Lewis and an additional 13,000oz at Hobby, increasing the previous Mineral Resource estimate announced on 23 December 2020 “CGP Mineral Resource Estimate Upgrade to 1.15Moz”.

==> picture [132 x 57] intentionally omitted <==

This MRE for Bruno Lewis and Hobby is based on the same optimisation parameters used for all other existing mineralisation models at the CGP.

All Mineral Resource Estimates reported fall within optimised shells using stringent criteria for costs, recoveries and geotechnical parameters as established in the 2019 Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the CGP, and the application of a gold price assumption of A$2,600/oz. The A$2,600 gold price adopted for this estimate is considered reasonable given the recent gold price performance and the requirement under the JORC code to include only material in an MRE that will result in “eventual economic extraction”.

Resource Drilling Program

Cardinia Hill

The Resource extension and definition drilling program completed at the Cardinia Hill deposit during the quarter was designed to extend the Mineral Resource to approximately 200m below surface, extend the deposit along strike to the north and in-fill the near surface portion of the Southern and Northern high grade shoots to a nominal 25m by 25m spacing as the foundation for an upgrade of the Mineral Resource Estimate and classification.

==> picture [132 x 57] intentionally omitted <==

Highlights returned from this drilling during the June Quarter included:

  • 7m at 21.3 g/t Au from 91m (CH21RC122)

  • 3.4m at 9.72 g/t Au from 252.6m (CH21DD096)

  • 10m at 1.48 g/t Au from 118m (CH21RC113)

  • 5m at 4.99 g/t Au from 21m (CH21RC133)

  • 8m at 4.02 g/t Au from 19m (CH21RC134)

The drilling has continued to confirm the continuity of mineralisation and elevated gold grades, extending both the shallow and deeper high-grade mineralisation within the deposit along the Cardinia Hill Fault to the north. Mineralisation has been extended to approximately 800m strike length along the Cardinia hill structure and remains open to the north.

Infill drilling to approximately 25m x 25m spacing has been successfully completed at both the Northern and Southern high grade shoot areas. At quarter end 14 holes assay results remain to be received and reported. Refer Figure 2.

Strong gold and sulphide mineralisation is associated with both near vertical, quartz-carbonate filled shear zones and carbonate and sulphide alteration zones located on the contact between west dipping porphyry intrusions and the dolerite host rock. See Figure 3 and Figure 4.

Following the Resource Definition drilling a metallurgical test-work drilling program has commenced to confirm the metallurgical and treatment performance of the Cardinia Hill deposit.

Bruno-Lewis

Highlights from Resource definition and extension RC and diamond drilling at the Bruno-Lewis deposit during the reporting period included:

  • 16m at 1.22 g/t Au from 51m (BL21RC162)

  • 7.4m at 7.67 g/t Au from 83m (BL20CD128)

  • 6m at 2.86 g/t Au from 15m and 3m at 6.60 g/t Au from 57m (BL21RC165)

These results supported the May 2021 MRE update outlined above.

Air-core Drilling

Eagle-Crow

Air-core (AC) drilling was undertaken at the Eagle-Crow prospect, located on the western side of the CGP, during the Quarter, with results confirming significant zones of shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation.

The Eagle prospect, located 3km from the centre of the CGP, was defined in late 2020 from a regional soil geochemical program undertaken by Company. The soil program covered the historical Eagle and Crow prospect workings, where rock chip samples and historical scout AC drilling over a limited strike length had returned high grade results.

Kin Mining completed an initial program of AC drilling in March, comprising 399 drill-holes for 17,035m, designed to provide an initial assessment of the source of the extensive gold-in soil geochemical anomaly at Eagle-Crow, which extends over a strike length of approximately 5km and a width of 0.6km.

Highlights from 4m composite assay results from the initial phase of AC drilling at Eagle-Crow included:

  • 8m at 7.90 g/t Au from 28m to the bottom-of-hole (EG21AC072)

  • 4m at 8.31 g/t Au from 0m (EG21AC024)

  • 4m at 4.44 g/t Au from 0m (EG21AC144)

  • 4m at 4.25 g/t Au from 4m (EG21AC074)

  • 4m at 3.78 g/t Au from 40m (EG21AC067)

  • 4m at 3.11 g/t Au from 24m (EG21AC244)

This program defined two parallel zones of mineralisation in broad-spaced AC drilling highlighting the potential for an extensive, shallow gold discovery subject to further drilling.

A follow-up AC program was completed in April 2021, comprising six holes for 412m of drilling.

In-fill drilling at the Crow prospect delivered an outstanding intercept of 8m at 19.77g/t Au (including 4m at 38.8g/t Au) from hole EG21AC400, located 200m along strike from an intercept of 8m at 7.90g/t Au intersected in hole EG21AC072. Historical AC drilling on this mineralised trend intersected 3m at 4.5g/t and 3m at 27.1g/t Au adjacent to old surface workings.

RC Drilling to confirm the style and orientation of the gold mineralisation below the regolith is in progress.

Full details of the Eagle-Crow drilling program and assay results were provided in the Company’s ASX Announcements dated 14 April 2021 and 25 May 2021.

Mount Flora

The Mount Flora prospect is located 20km east of the CGP and was identified as a priority satellite target after regional, wide-spaced auger sampling undertaken in late 2020.

Kin completed a maiden program of AC drilling at Mount Flora in April 2021, comprising a total of 269 drillholes for 10,166m, targeting the strongest of the gold-in-soil anomalies. The results to date have confirmed the presence of three mineralised trends, interpreted to be associated with splays originating from the Federation Fault and other parallel structures. See Figure 5 .

Highlights from the AC drilling included:

  • 22m at 8.96g/t Au from 24m including 8m at 21.0g/t Au from 32m (MF21AC522)

  • 8m at 2.79g/t Au from 28m (MF21AC525)

  • 8m at 2.47g/t Au from 16m (MF21AC432)

  • 13m at 0.97g/t Au from 20m (MF21AC427)

  • 12m at 0.95g/t Au from 0m (MF21AC523)

==> picture [457 x 317] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5: Location of the Mount Flora AC drilling program over geological map. Initial interpretation suggests the mineralisation is related to splays from the Federation Fault and other parallel structures.

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 as expected from the soil geochemical multi-element data.

Field investigation of the mineralised intersections shows the controlling features of the high-grade mineralised zones are sulphide rich quartz veins in dolerites and basalts. The initial interpretation is that the mineralisation dips moderately to the east as shown in section in Figure 6 .

==> picture [493 x 232] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6: Cross-section of the Mount Flora AC drilling program over geological interpretation. Significant east-dipping quartz veins are interpreted to be a primary control on mineralisation.

Planning is well advanced for the next phase of work at Mt Flora, which includes both additional lines of AC drilling to add strike extension to defined mineralised trends and initial RC drilling of the high-grade mineralisation defined in AC drilling to date.

Drilling is scheduled to commence in mid-July once the Phase 4 program at Cardinia is complete and the Program of Work (POW) application for RC drilling at Mt Flora is approved.

Full details of the Mount Flora drilling program and assay results were provided in the Company’s ASX Announcements dated 27 May 2021 and 4 June 2021.

Eastern Corridor Exploration Program

The Eastern Corridor exploration program is aimed at extending the depth of known mineralisation and providing an initial evaluation at a number of targets generated from the Phase 3 exploration program that offer the potential for Resource growth.

The Eastern Corridor targets are located between 500m and 4.5km from the centre of the CGP (Figure 7). Mineral Resources within the Eastern Corridor total 3.9Mt at 1.59g/t Au for 194koz across four deposits at Helens, Rangoon, Fiona and Cardinia Hill. Refer Table A1 for details.

The area has been covered by detailed magnetics and gravity surveys and underwent deeper RC and DD drilling programs during the Company’s Phase 3 exploration program completed over 2020 and early 2021, which revealed porphyry intrusions adjacent to sheared mafic volcanic and felsic volcanic contacts as a primary control of high-grade gold mineralisation.

The gravity survey in particular has enabled detailed mapping of the positions of interpreted shear zones, geological contacts and buried porphyry intrusions, which has resulted in the generation of several exploration targets in addition to the deeper targets associated with the recently-discovered Cardinia Hill deposit.

Results received from the Phase 4 drilling program to date have provided an initial assessment of the mineralisation style and gold grade at each of the targets, which will assist with prioritising them for follow-up

Figure 7 – Kin Mining’s Eastern Corridor Targets, part of the Cardinia Gold Project.

This program was ongoing at the end of the June Quarter, with preliminary results announced during the reporting period including:

Cardinia Hill Deeps

  • All 20 drill holes intersected the mineralised Cardinia Hill Structure, which has now been extended to over 800m of strike and 200m depth

  • Highlights from Reverse Circulation (RC) and diamond (DD) drilling returned to date include:

  • 7.8m at 2.90g/t Au from 267.2m, incl. 4.8m at 4.16g/t Au from 267.2m (CH21DD149)

  • o 3m at 5.87g/t Au from 59m (CH21RC128)

Helens South and Helens East

  • Helens South is interpreted as a linking structure between two larger north-south faults – similar interpretation to Cardinia Hill structural model

  • Best intercept of 2m at 5.96g/t Au from 35m (HS21RC325)

Regional Exploration Program

Kin owns six separate projects located east and west of the centrally located CGP (Figure 8) which the Company has been advancing with a range of exploration activities over the past 12 months including ground-based geophysical surveys, surface auger soil geochemical surveys and first-pass air-core (AC) drilling programs to evaluate their prospectivity.

The purpose of the regional exploration program across the gold-based projects is to provide an initial assessment of the mineralisation style and gold grade and determine whether each project has the potential to be a viable stand-alone project or would more naturally provide satellite feed to a CGP based mining and processing operation.

The key parameters governing these development options is the distance from Cardinia, potential alternative treatment options, project size and mineralisation grade. Other projects in the portfolio of tenements also offer nickel sulphide exploration potential and these are being assessed in parallel with the gold project evaluation.

Mt Flora – Gold

The initial Mount Flora air-core program, comprising 269 drill-holes for 10,166m, was completed earlier this year and resulted in the discovery of three new mineralised zones (see above).

Iron King – Gold

The Iron King Project, located approximately 45km north of Leonora, contains the historically mined Iron King open pit. The Iron King open pit produced approximately 20,000 tonnes at 9.0g/t Au for 5,600oz of gold mined.

The Company completed an 11,425m AC program at nominal 400m line spacing in late 2020 targeting strike extensions of the existing mineralisation and parallel zones of mineralisation highlighted in the earlier soil geochemical program (see ASX Announcement dated 14 January 2021). A number of strong intersections were returned from the Axford prospect mostly along strike from historical workings and previous drilling intersections.

The follow up program of additional AC lines to in-fill to 200m spacing and initial RC drilling around the stronger AC results is scheduled for the September Quarter following completion of a heritage survey and granting of a POW to extend these programs.

Randwick – Gold

The Randwick tenement group is located immediately north and south of the Randwick Mining Centre, 48km north-east of Leonora, and comprises 26km[2] of tenements.

Several gold targets have been identified within the Randwick Project area associated with interpreted major fault or shear intersections, flexure zones and historic workings, as well as an auriferous paleo-channel target south of the Golden Chain prospect located on P37/7997. Only limited modern exploration has been conducted within the project area. At Gold Hill a small deposit was defined in the 1980s, a portion of which was subsequently extracted in a heap leach operation which lies adjacent to the Project area (Randwick Gold Hill Mine).

An auger and soil geochemical program planned to commence in the September Quarter 2021 as the initial phase of a systematic exploration program to assess the project.

Murrin – Gold

The Murrin Project is located approximately 50km east of Leonora. Several regional NW and NNE trending thrust faults and shear zones including the Kilkenny Fault, Kilkenny Creek Fault, Pearl Shell Fault and the Nangeroo Fault run through the area.

Several gold targets have been identified within the Murrin Project area associated with interpreted major fault or shear intersections, flexure zones and historic workings. Only limited modern exploration has been conducted within the project area.

An auger soil geochemical program is planned to commence in the September Quarter 2021 as the initial phase of a systematic exploration to assess the project for potential follow-up drilling programs.

– Nickel Sulphide Target Mt Fouracre Project

The Mt Fouracre Project is located approximately 60km north-west of Leonora and north-east of Kin’s Iron King gold project. The prospect consists of the basal contact of the Mt Clifford Ultramafic unit and lies 2km west of the Marriotts nickel sulphide deposit discovered by Western Mining Corporation in the 1970’s.

The Mt Fouracre prospect was explored by BP Minerals up until 1980 and subsequently other nickel-focused companies such as Dalrymple Resources and Lionore which held the tenements in conjunction with other project tenure without undertaking significant new exploration work. The historical work contains a number of shallow drill holes strongly anomalous in nickel within the oxide and laterite zones, positioned over the highly magnetic section of the Mt Clifford ultramafic unit.

Kin has reviewed the exploration data and completed a moving-loop Electro-Magnetics (MLEM) survey over the prospective lower contact of the Mt Clifford UM unit. The survey has highlighted a strongly conductive target positioned just below the base of the Mt Clifford unit on the western side of the tenement.

Modelling of the anomaly by Southern Geoscience shows a steep east-dipping orientation of the conductor parallel with the interpreted base of the Mt Clifford unit (see Figure 9). An initial RC and diamond drilling program to test the source of the conductive anomaly is scheduled to commence in late-July once the diamond rig returns to Cardinia.

CORPORATE

Royalty Acquisition

During the Quarter, Kin reached agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending to purchase the 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) over the first 100,000oz of gold production from the CGP.

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 purchased the royalty for US$600,000 cash, which is equivalent to 22c in the dollar face value of the NSR based on the June 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.

Cash Position

At the end of the June Quarter 2021, Kin had $7.443 million cash on hand.

Appointment of Mining Manager

Kin is pleased to advise of the appointment of Mr Chad Moloney as Mining Manager commencing 1 July 2021.

Mr Moloney is a qualified Mining Engineer with recent experience as Mining Manager at the Halls Creek gold mine with Pantoro Resources. Chad has a strong background in gold mining operations both Underground and Open Pit. In particular, he was the Registered Manager of Doray Minerals’ Andy Well gold mine where he oversaw the construction of the mining operations and mining contracts. We welcome Chad to the Company.

Mr Moloney joins Kin Mining following the resignation of Mr John Kelly, who has served as Kins’ Mining Manager since early 2019, and has chosen to retire. We thank John for his contribution to the Company over the past 2 years and wish him well.
