  1. The Misima Resource update has focused on updating the geological model at Ewatinona while also revising project assumptions around cut-off grade and gold price inputs. The updated Resource will now underpin the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), which is expected to be complete by the end of 2020.
  2. The PFS will be enhanced by the 17% increase in Indicated ounces to 1.52Moz, of which 97% sits within a US$1,400 pit shell. The Umuna Deposit currently contains 94% of the total Resource ounces and is expected to underpin the PreFeasibility work focusing on a large-scale, long-life open pit mining project.

Managing Director's Summary

Andrew Corbett

"This is a great result for Kingston shareholders, with the substantial increase in gold and silver ounces firmly establishing Misima as one of the most exciting new mid-tier gold development opportunities in the Asia-Pacific. The significant increase in overall ounces, and in particular the 17% increase in Indicated ounces to 1.52Moz, provides a fantastic platform from which to launch our mining studies. Our improved understanding of Ewatinona is also a key step forward for the project and clearly establishes our proposed starter-pit."
