The company recently completed an 11-hole drilling program at its Misima project to provide infill and validation data in an area east of the historic Ewatinona open pit.
Current exploration work aims to deliver new near-surface mineralisation, as these are likely to have the largest impact on overall project economics.
Kingston expects near-surface ounces will boost cashflow in the early years as it develops access to the main Misima resource.
