Kingston Resources Limited reported that gold production at the Mineral Hill Mine (Mineral Hill), in NSW, has increased significantly in the first two months of the September quarter. The ramp-up of gold production from the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) processing operation has delivered a monthly gold production record in the month of July, which was subsequently exceeded in August to deliver a further production record. Both grade and recovery have increased as mining moves deeper into the TSF, while throughput rates continue to benefit from reduced rainfall relative to the June quarter months.

The average tonnage processed for July and August equates to an annual mining rate of 670,000tpa. For the TSF project to date, both tonnes and grade processed are reconciling slightly positive to the JORC Resource. In August, the Mineral Hill team produced its 100th gold bar from the TSF Project which represented a significant milestone for the Company as it continues to lift production from its gold tailings operation.

Alongside the current gold production, the Company is developing a five-year mine plan at Mineral Hill with work underway to expedite mine production, including Resource and Reserve updates at the Pearse and SOZ deposits, mine design work, and plant refurbishment studies.
