• Drilling confirms and extends the Southern Ore Zone (SOZ) at Mineral Hill with high-grade gold and copper assays
• Results add confidence to the existing geological model along strike and down-dip
• Potential for resource growth identified in areas outside the current resource

Kingston Resources has announced assay results from underground drilling at the Southern Ore Zone (SOZ) at its Mineral Hill gold and copper mine in NSW. The drilling has returned high-grade gold and copper intersections, confirming and extending the mineralization in the G and H Lode areas, as well as down-dip and along strike extensions in the A and B Lode areas. The results add significant confidence to the existing geological model and identify potential for resource growth in areas outside the current Mineral Resource. Highlights include 4.40m @ 5.36g/t Au, 0.87% Cu, 4.55m @ 0.95g/t Au, 2.24% Cu, 7.10m @ 2.89g/t Au, 0.89% Cu, 1.40m @ 16.33g/t Au, 2.88% Cu, and 4.25m @ 12.08g/t Au, 1.19% Cu. The company says the drilling has significantly increased confidence in the location and metal endowment of the existing Mineral Resource interpretations and that the underground drill rig has returned to Mineral Hill for ongoing resource definition and grade control drilling, with a focus on extensional drilling in the deeper footwall areas of SOZ.

The company is focused on meeting near-mine production targets at Mineral Hill, including open pit gold and silver production and underground diamond drilling at the Southern Ore Zone. Surface RC drilling is also planned at the Bogong Prospect and Long Panel.
