Kingston Resources Limited has detailed its strategy for a 25,000-metre drilling program planned for fiscal year 2027 at the Mineral Hill project in New South Wales, marking the largest annual drilling campaign at the site since Triako completed its initial resource drill-out in 1999.

The upcoming campaign comprises 15,000 metres of extension drilling and 10,000 metres of infill drilling across eight priority target areas. These targets include northern extensions at the Southern Ore Zone, footwall lodes, Jack’s Hut, Red Terror, and Parker’s Hill East.

Operations will use the existing underground drill rig alongside a dedicated surface program covering 6,575 metres scheduled over October and November 2026. The exploration and infill activities follow a $12.9 million capital raising completed in July 2026, which included a $4.4 million placement and an $8.47 million entitlement offer.

The current strategy scales up activity significantly from previous schedules, following a 3,000-metre underground diamond drilling program initiated in January 2025. The program allocates approximately 60% of planned metres to underground extension and surface exploration drilling, with the remaining 40% dedicated to infill drilling aimed at increasing geological confidence for future mine planning and reserve conversion.

“This program is about discovery, scale and conversion. We are targeting growth in the Mineral Hill Resource base while building the geological confidence and technical information needed to support conversion of Mineral Resources into Ore Reserves and a larger, long-life mine plan.”

“By drilling across multiple established mineralised areas and near-mine targets, we aim to establish additional mining fronts and provide the mine plan that will extend the mine life and grow the annual production at Mineral Hill.”

— Andrew Corbett, Managing Director and CEO

The multi-rig campaign is designed to build the necessary technical foundation for future mine planning as the company evaluates potential production growth at the New South Wales operation.
