Managing director Andrew Munckton said: "The additional funds raised through the placement of this shortfall, together with the $6.066 million already raised from the rights issue, gives us the capacity to complete our phase-III exploration program across the Cardinia exploration targets to the end of FY2021 as planned.

"Importantly, the shortfall has been placed to strategic, cornerstone and high net-worth investors who share our view of the significant geological potential of the Cardinia Gold Project and support our exploration-driven strategy, which is aimed at making significant new discoveries and defining new mineral resources.

"The shortfall placement funds raised will also allow Kin to accelerate additional exploration drilling if the results from the current drilling and the planned program over the September quarter warrant it."
