Kin Mining NL (ASX:KIN) has added highly experienced geologist Leah Moore to the team as exploration manager.
Moore will take up the position on September 29, 2022 and brings vast WA Goldfields experience to the company, having previously held senior roles with some of Australia’s premier gold mining companies and gold mining districts including Bellevue Gold Limited, CSA Global, Gold Fields and Barrick Gold, primarily in the Leonora and Laverton districts.
Kin is hoping Moore can deliver what she is famous for: increasing life-of-mine gold resources through exploration success.
Bringing a wealth of knowledge to Kin
Moore has 15 years of primarily gold-based mineral exploration experience on top of a Bachelor of Science (Geology) with Honours from UWA and a Graduate Certificate in Mineral Economics from Curtin.
Kin will draw on Leah’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.
Moore replaces Glenn Grayson, who is taking on another role in the Western Australian resources industry.
Grayson has been instrumental in Kin’s growth, 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 MRE represents an 80% increase (625koz) from the initial MRE that Glenn prepared when he first joined Kin.
Of Moore’s appointment, Kin Mining Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said, “We are delighted to welcome Leah to the Kin Mining team and 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.”
