Kin Mining (ASX:KIN) reports it has appointed experienced geologist Leah Moore as the company’s new exploration manager, effective from 29 September to lead Kin’s gold exploration drives.
Moore is a geologist with extensive exploration experience in the Western Australian Goldfields, and her career has included senior roles with some of Australia’s premier gold mining companies and gold mining districts including Bellevue Gold Limited, CSA Gold Fields and Barrick Gold, primarily in the Lenora and Laverton districts.
Kin reports it is eager to draw on Moore’s experience in understanding master geological models including structures, lithology and oxidation, and growing project resource balances in advancing the next phase of growth at the Cardinia Gold Project.
She has a successful track record of increasing life-of-mine gold resources through exploration success and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Kin Mining Team.
Kin Mining Managing Director Andrew Munckton said the company is delighted to welcome Moore to the team.
“We look forward to drawing on her considerable experience across the WA Goldfields in helping oversee this next exciting phase of growth”
“We look forward to drawing on her considerable experience across the WA Goldfields in helping oversee this next exciting phase of growth as we embark on our Phase 6 drilling program.
I would also like to take this opportunity to convey our sincerest thanks to Glenn for his strong leadership and geological insights, which have helped us double the resource base at Cardinia.
We wish Glenn all the best in his new appointment.”
Moore succeeds Glenn Grayson, who is leaving Kin Mining to take on another role in the Western Australian resource industry.
Greyson has been involved in the planning and execution of exploration and development programs across Kin’s Cardinia Gold Project assets over the last four and a half years, culminating in the latest upgrade to the CGP Mineral Resource to 1.4Moz of gold.
This Mineral Resource Estimate represents an 80% increase from the initial MRE that Greyson prepared when he first joined Kin.
Moore has 15 years of primarily gold-based mineral exploration experience on top of a Bachelor of Science (Geology) with Honours from the University of Western Australia, and a Graduate Certificate in Mineral Economics from Curtin University.
Kin Mining is a Western Australia-based gold development and exploration company.
Its key focus is its 100% owned Cardinia Gold Project located in the ‘highly prospective’ North-Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia.
The Cardinia Gold Project has a 1.4Moz gold Mineral Resource defined in both oxide and deeper primary mineralisation with considerable potential to grow this resource with further drilling.
Kin’s exploration effort is the systematic program of exploration across the Cardinia Mining Centre that seeks to advance a number of targets in parallel while developing a pipeline of exploration targets for ongoing Mineral Resource expansion.
