---- LOM all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of A$1,217/oz.
-- 28% increase in the Misima Gold Project JORC Ore Reserve to 76Mt @ 0.8g/t for 1.73Moz.
-- Independent studies for the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) largely complete, with work advancing on finalising the full ESIA report for submission.
-- Studies required for the Mining Licence (ML) Application nearing completion.
Corporate
-- Subsequent to the end of the quarter Kingston secured a $10m debt facility with Pure Asset Managament, the first $5m tranche of which was drawn in early July.
Kingston Managing Director, Andrew Corbett, said: “The June quarter has been another period of significant activity, with the headline being the announcement of Misima’s much anticipated DFS results confirming the Project’s potential for a large-scale, long-life, low-cost gold mine. The DFS delivered total production of 2.4Mozs at an extremely low all-in sustaining cost of A$1,217/oz over a 20-year mine life, alongside a 28% increase in Reserve. I’m extremely proud of our Misima team for delivering such a highquality, comprehensive study, in a challenging operational environment.
