Kin Mining NL advised that the next phase of exploration and resource growth drilling has commenced at its 100%-owned 1.41Moz Cardinia Gold Project (CGP), located near Leonora in Western Australia. As part of its ongoing exploration program at the CGP, Kin Mining has commenced an initial deep diamond drilling program to evaluate a number of Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical anomalies located below the Helens, Helens East, Cardinia Hill and Rangoon deposits. The deeper IP targets were generated by re-processing the historical Kurrajong IP surveys completed by Navigator Resources in 2013.

The IP targets have been developed following the completion of petrophysical testing on selected samples of high grade, quartz-sulphide mineralisation from the Helens, Rangoon and Cardinia Hill deposits that indicated that strong IP responses were generated from pyritic mineralised samples that also carried elevated gold mineralisation. A total of five separate targets have been identified and will be tested with a series of approximately 350m deep diamond holes into each. All five targets are located on two IP sections from the Kurrajong survey where mapping and resistivity data suggest the host rock is mafic or felsic volcanics.

The Company is ramping up other exploration activities as part of its ongoing exploration campaign at the CGP. A combination of Reverse Circulation (RC) and diamond drilling is scheduled to commence later this month to further evaluate the under-explored Rangoon area, located within the Eastern Corridor area at Cardinia. Drilling results from Rangoon and other prospects within this corridor over the past 12 months have reinforced the substantial endowment of the Eastern Corridor as a priority focus for exploration at the CGP.

The Eastern Corridor contains a number of exciting exploration and development prospects including Cardinia Hill, Helens, Fiona and Rangoon. The Eastern Corridor deposits collectively host in excess of 338koz of Mineral Resources and are interpreted to be structurally linked as part of a significantly larger mineralised system located on the eastern side of the CGP.
