Kingston Resources delivers initial gold concentrate production at Mineral Hill
Processing capacity expands with successful flotation recommissioning
Company plans smooth transition from open pit to underground operations
Kingston Resources (ASX:KSN), a company listed on the All Ordinaries, has announced its first gold concentrate production at the Mineral Hill Mine in New South Wales. The development signals a key operational shift, as the company progresses toward becoming a multi-product producer across gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc.
The restart of gold concentrate output follows extensive refurbishment efforts at the site’s processing facility. Mineral Hill’s ramp-up phase is now underway, marking the transition to broader production capabilities.
Processing Plant Now Fully Operational
The company has completed the recommissioning of the flotation circuit, enabling Mineral Hill to process multiple ore types. With this capability restored, the site now supports gold doré production alongside copper, lead, and zinc concentrates. Kingston Resources has confirmed this operational flexibility provides improved control over how different metal streams are managed and marketed.
CEO Andrew Corbett emphasised the team’s execution discipline and the significance of restoring full processing functionality. The integrated design is aimed at supporting both current surface mining and planned underground activity.
Multi-Phase Mining Strategy at Pearse Pits
Mining operations remain focused on sulphide ore extraction from the Pearse North and Pearse South pits. These open pit locations are expected to remain active for an extended period, providing ore for continued gold concentrate production. Material produced onsite is trucked to the Narromine railhead before being shipped via the port of Newcastle.
Following the conclusion of surface operations, the company plans to initiate underground mining at the Mineral Hill site. This phase is expected to enhance copper output and support the ongoing diversification of Kingston’s production streams.
Positioning for Mid-Tier Status with Broader Production Base
Kingston Resources is targeting a position within the mid-tier gold and base metals segment. With Mineral Hill now operational and producing multiple products, the company is laying the groundwork for longer-term output growth from both surface and underground sources.
The company also maintains a presence in upcoming industry forums and will be showcasing its developments at the Noosa Mining Investor Conference. The event will offer stakeholders insights into the company’s transformation and ongoing project pipeline.
