Kingston Resources (KSN) is raising up to $8.4 million to advance its gold projects in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Western Australia.
In the placement, Kingston will issue 40 million shares for 16 cents each to institutional and sophisticated investors to raise $6.4 million. A further $2 million will be raised in a share purchase plan (SPP).

Managing Director Andrew Corbett is pleased with the strong response from investors.
“We are very encouraged by the support we are receiving for Misima as we transition towards mining studies and development. The rest of 2020 will be exciting for Kingston shareholders as we work towards the completion of the PFS and reporting a maiden Ore Reserve at Misima,” he said.
“Following the significant structural work completed earlier in 2020, we are also excited to get back into drilling the Livingstone Project in WA, with the objective of
delineating a maiden JORC Mineral Resource at Kingsley,” he added.
