Kingston Resources Limited has intersected 9.30m at 3.08% lead, 3.62% zinc, 0.97% copper, 0.71 g/t gold, and 15 g/t silver (3.2% copper equivalent) from 180.1m in hole KSNDDH093 at the Jack’s Hut deposit, located immediately south of existing underground development at the Mineral Hill project in New South Wales.

The infill drilling program was designed to increase drill density and confirm the existing geological interpretation in areas evaluated for potential future underground mining. Additional notable intercepts include hole KSNDDH091 returning 13.00m at 2.80% lead, 2.48% zinc, 0.76% copper, 0.88 g/t gold, and 16 g/t silver from 165.0m, and hole KSNDDH094 intersecting 13.00m at 0.91% copper, 1.04 g/t gold, and 4 g/t silver from 106.0m, including 2.05m at 2.39% copper and 5.44 g/t gold from 113.0m.

Mineralisation at Jack’s Hut dips approximately 65° to the west and features an eastern copper-gold component alongside a western zone with elevated lead, zinc, and silver. The results support the interpreted location and grade tenor across the targeted stope areas.

The new assays will be incorporated into an updated geological model, with Kingston targeting an updated Mineral Resource estimate for Jack's Hut during the March quarter of 2027 to inform an Ore Reserve update.

“We are aiming to make Jack's Hut our second underground ore source at Mineral Hill.”

“These results confirm the location of the mineralisation where we expected it and give us greater confidence in the existing conceptual stopes. We will now incorporate the drilling results into an updated resource model and mine-planning work.”

— Andrew Corbett, Managing Director and CEO

The work forms part of a broader 25,000-metre drilling program planned across fiscal year 2027 at Mineral Hill, utilizing underground and surface drill rigs following the prioritization of underground development after the suspension of mining at the Pearse South open pit in June 2026. A surface drill rig is scheduled to arrive in October 2026 to test potential depth and strike extensions below the existing Jack's Hut Mineral Resource.
