Kingston Resources (ASX:KSN) has achieved the first gold concentrate production at the Mineral Hill Mine in New South Wales, with the processing plant now ramping up to its full capacity.
CEO Andrew Corbett says the restart of gold concentrate production marks a milestone in Kingston’s transformation of Mineral Hill into a fully integrated, multi-product operation.
“This achievement reflects not just the technical capability of our team, but also the disciplined approach we’ve taken to capital allocation and project execution, delivering the refurbishment for just $14 million,” Corbett says.
“With flotation successfully recommissioned, we now have full processing optionality — from gold doré and concentrate to separate copper, lead, and zinc concentrates — and a clear pathway to underground mining.”
Until now, gold and silver sales have exclusively come from doré production. Mineral Hill has become one of only two operating processing plants in the Cobar region capable of producing precious metal doré and multiple metal concentrates.
Kingston notes open pit mining at Pearse North and Pearse South will continue until mid-2026, focusing on sulphide ore. Gold concentrate will be produced onsite, trucked to the Narromine railhead and shipped from Newcastle.
Upon completion of open pit mining, operations will shift to underground ore processing, with copper sales expected by mid-year 2026.
Kingston Resources is a gold and silver producer focused on establishing itself as a mid-tier gold and base metals company with multiple producing assets.
The company will be attending the Noosa Mining Investor Conference, held between 23-25 July, at the Peppers Noosa Resort.
