Kin Mining Claims Spectacular Gold Discovery

/in /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Kin Mining (ASX: KIN) claimed an exciting gold discovery at the company’s 100 per cent-owned Leonora gold project (LGP) in Western Australia.

Kin Mining declared the discovery of a high-grade zone of primary mineralisation at the Lewis deposit, within the Cardinia Mining Centre at the LGP.

Recent drilling returned high-grade intercepts including:


LS17RC067
16 metres at 37.6 grams per tonne gold from 47m, including 5m at 117g/t gold;


LS17RC064
13m at 14.3g/t gold from 49m, including 3m at 50.7g/t gold;


LS17RC074
17m at 6g/t gold from 20m, including 2m at 44.7g/t gold;


LS17RC076
15m at 3.4g/t gold from 58m, including 2m at 21.3g/t gold;


LS17RC057
4m at 15.3g/t gold from 33m, including 1m at 55.5g/t gold; and


LS17RC056
27m at 2.7g/t gold from surface, including 1m at 32.2g/t gold.

Kin considers the results to be particularly outstanding because multiple high-grade intersections can be traced along a lithological contact for 500m of strike within the primary bedrock.

This zone of mineralisation was previously undetected because previous explorers had focused on the shallow supergene resources which dominate the Cardinia area.

“This is an outstanding discovery for Kin and congratulations to our geology team,” Kin Mining managing director Don Harper said in the company’s announcement to the Australian Securities Exchange.

“The new zone of mineralisation is not only very high-grade, but it is also large, with every potential to grow significantly as we drill further along strike in both directions and deeper.

“In light of the high-grade primary zone discovery, the planned open pit designs will likely be deeper and larger than anticipated.

‘We therefore plan to continue drilling and assess extending our Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) to include the primary mineralisation.”
