FURTHER STRONG AIR-CORE RESULTS HIGHLIGHT
SIGNIFICANT SHALLOW GOLD DISCOVERY AT PEGASUS
900m long zone with similarities to the 374koz Bruno-Lewis deposit
Highlights
- Final results returned from air-core drilling at the Pegasus prospect, located adjacent to the cornerstone 374koz Bruno-Lewis deposit at the Cardinia Gold Project.
- Final 4m composite assay results include the following significant intercepts:
- 4m at 1.41g/t Aufrom surface (PG21AC371)
- 4m at 1.48g/t Aufrom surface (PG21AC403)
- 4m at 2.61g/t Aufrom 12m (PG21AC405) and 2m at 0.55 g/t from 24m to bottom of hole.
- Previous results from this air-core program included:
- 4m at 10.1g/t Aufrom 24m (PG21AC144)
- 8m at 3.08g/t Aufrom 8m (PG21AC224)
- 4m at 2.25g/t Aufrom 32m (PG21AC290)
- Additional mineralised intersections in historic adjacent holes:
-
10m at 3.10g/t Aufrom 12m (C0031) o 16m at 1.04g/t Aufrom 4m (C0030)
o 8m at 1.07g/t Aufrom 32m (BL19RC040) o 9m at 1.15g/t Aufrom 24m (NCAC1241)
-
10m at 3.10g/t Aufrom 12m (C0031) o 16m at 1.04g/t Aufrom 4m (C0030)
- Results coincident with shallow northeast-dipping sulphide mineralisation in mafic rocks. The mineralisation appears similar to the nearby Bruno lodes at the Bruno-Lewis deposit.
- Next phase of deeper Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling scheduled to commence in March.

Kin Mining Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said: "These results from the north-western extension of the area provide further evidence that Pegasus is an emerging discovery within the 1.275Moz Cardinia Gold Project. Our systematic, exploration-driven strategy continues to deliver. The full batch of air-core data, including the exciting high-grade drill results reported on 15 November last year, show that Pegasus comprises a shallow zone of gold mineralisation extending over a strike length of at least 900m and up to 100m wide.
"Pegasus appears to form part of a parallel structure adjacent to the Bruno-Lewis deposit and the mineralisation appears to have similarities to the north-west trending Bruno lodes. The proximity of this mineralisation to a significant gravity low confirms that our exploration targeting methodology is working."
"Given the widespread nature of the ore grade intercepts and the near-by location of this exciting new area, we intend to prioritise Pegasus for deeper RC drilling that is scheduled to commence next month."
Kin Mining NL (ASX: KIN or "the Company") is pleased to report final results from the air-core drilling program at the Pegasus prospect, located adjacent to the 374,000 oz Bruno-Lewis deposit at its 100%-owned1.275Moz Cardinia Gold Project (CGP) near Leonora in Western Australia.
The final results include more strong intercepts such as 4m at 2.61g/t Au from 4m in PG21AC405 and 4m at 1.48g/t Au from surface in PG21AC403, together with other significant results located on the eastern edge of the Pegasus Gravity Target.
The new assay results support and reinforce the initial exciting results reported on 15th November 2021, confirming a significant new zone of shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation at Pegasus that represents an outstanding target for follow-up exploration. The results also reinforce Kin Mining's view that gravity lows highlighted in the recent detailed geophysical survey over the greater Cardinia area represent priority exploration targets for new discoveries for the Company's exploration team.
The Pegasus prospect was first identified as a soil geochemical anomaly after regional, wide-spaced auger sampling undertaken in early 2020. The auger program identified a number of gold-in-soil anomalies in the western Corridor including the Eagle-Crow prospect, which was tested recently by RC drilling in 2021 with strong initial results.
The prospectivity of the Pegasus target was enhanced with the completion of the detailed gravity survey in the September 2021 quarter which showed that the anomalous soil geochemistry was coincident with the edge of a large, NW-SE trending gravity low.
Gravity lows have shown a strong correlation with gold mineralisation at the adjacent Bruno-Lewis deposit and recent high-grade discoveries at Cardinia Hill and Rangoon in the Eastern Corridor at Cardinia.
Adjacent Historical Drilling Results
Pegasus lies to the north-west of previous drilling associated with testing around the Pride of the North historical workings. This drilling includes both Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling and RC drilling from the 1990s and early 2000's.
Results from the Pride of the North drilling include:
-
10m at 3.10g/t Au from 12m (C0031) o 16m at 1.04g/t Au from 4m (C0030)
o 8m at 1.07g/t Au from 32m (BL19RC040) o 9m at 1.15g/t Au from 24m (NCAC1241)

related to NW-SE trending structures that crosscut and alter the underlying mafic (green) rocks. Pegasus appears parallel | |
to the Bruno lodes further north in the Bruno-Lewis deposit, as well as mineralisation at Kyte, Crow, Eagle and Lewis East. | |
The position of historical Pride of the North drilling results is interpreted to be part of the larger Pegasus | |
mineralised zone which is controlled by structures associated with the eastern edge of the Pegasus Gravity | |

2021 Air-core Drilling Program
Air-core drilling completed in September and October 2021 comprised 405 AC holes (10,914m) on 12 lines, which was designed to:
- Test at 200m line spacing the anomalous soil geochemistry coincident with the eastern edge of the gravity target;
- Test at 200m line spacing the western edge of the gravity target which lies within the Cardinia Creek system where soil geochemistry is not effective and where access is limited; and
- Confirm the relationship of the historical Pride of the North and Lewis drilling results to the Pegasus Gravity target.
Multi-element assay results for bottom-of-hole samples used to characterise the rock types have confirmed that the gold mineralisation is associated with anomalous silver, antimony, zinc and tungsten in sulphide-rich vein structures within altered mafic rocks.
Significant intercepts for the AC drilling received to date are illustrated in Figure 2, summarised in Table 1 with hole location details provided in Table 2.
The next phase of work, comprising RC and diamond drilling to confirm mineralisation in fresh rock, is planned to commence in March.
