PERTH (miningweekly.com) – The share price of ASX-listed junior Kin Mining increased by more than 23% after an independent valuation placed a higher price tag on the Leonora gold mine, in Western Australia, which the company is buying.

Kin reached an agreement with the administrators of Navigator Resources in April to buy the Leonora gold project for A$2.7-million in cash.

The transaction was conditional upon a due diligence, shareholder approval, the execution of a formal share purchase agreement, and Kin completing a A$5-million fund raising.

Kin said this week that an independent valuation of the Leonora gold project had valued the project between A$3.8-million and A$14.5-million, with a preferred value of A$8.5-million.

Kin MD Trevor Dixon said that the independent valuation supported the company’s own conclusions and confirmed that Leonora was a valuable asset with an established gold inventory.

“We are looking forward to completing the acquisition and executing the next key steps of our strategy to become a significant Western Australia gold producer.”

It was hoped that the transaction would be completed by early July.

Kin had initiated technical studies aimed at upgrading the project’s existing indicated and inferred resource of 12.29-million tonnes, grading 1.9 g/t gold for 745 000 oz to a Joint Ore Reserves Committee-compliant resource.

Kin shares were trading at a high of 18.5 a share on news of the independent valuation.
