Kingston Resources Limited (ASX: KSN) (Kingston or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has taken an important step towards bringing the Misima Gold Project into production with the completion of a positive Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS).
The DFS confirms the potential for a large-scale, long-life, low-cost operation delivering gold production of 2.4Moz over 20 years at forecast life-of-mine (LOM) all-in sustaining costs (AISC) of A$1,217/oz. Leading independent consultants have been engaged on all key aspects of the project and DFS technical outcomes were very consistent with the PFS confirming the technically robust, low risk nature of the Project.
