Share Purchase Plan Results – SPP Offer
Oversubscribed
WA-focused gold explorer, Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (ASX: KAL) (‘KalGold’ or ‘the Company’), is pleased
to announce the successful completion of its Share Purchase Plan (‘SPP’).
The SPP was oversubscribed, with the company receiving valid applications for 22,812,500 shares raising
a total of $730,000 (before costs). Due to the overwhelming support received by Shareholders, the Board
has exercised its discretion to accept all valid applications in full to accommodate for all applications, rather
than scaling back applications in accordance with the Offer Booklet dated 6 June 2023. Even with the
additional shares to be issued under the SPP, the total number of shares issued under the SPP will still
be less than the 30% limit specified in the ASX Listing Rules. The additional free attaching options will be
subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming General Meeting on 19 July 2023 (‘Meeting’).
The SPP was announced on Friday, 24 May 2023 in conjunction with a A$1.4 million institutional
placement (Placement). The SPP was offered to eligible shareholders to raise approximately A$500,000,
with each eligible shareholder allowed to subscribe for up to A$30,000 of new ordinary shares in the
Company at a price of A$0.032 per share, equivalent to the issue price under the Placement.
Funds raised from the SPP, together with the funds raised under the Placement will be used to undertake
systematic exploration within the Pinjin Project and the larger KalGold portfolio.
Subject to shareholder approval at the Meeting, investors under the SPP will also be invited to apply under
a separate prospectus for one free attaching option for every New Share subscribed for in the SPP, with
each option having an exercise price of $0.06 and expiring two years from the date of issue (‘SPP
Options’).
The SPP Options will be offered under a separate option offer prospectus (‘Options Prospectus’) which
will also be sent to participants in the Placement who will also be offered one free attaching option for
every Share subscribed for in the Placement (‘Placement Shares’), with each option having the same
terms as the SPP Options (‘Placement Options’).
Director participation in the SPP amounted to $46,000 and represented 6.3% of overall subscriptions.
ISSUE OF SHARES & OPTIONS
The SPP Shares are expected to be issued on Tuesday, 4 July 2023, and to commence trading on the
ASX on Wednesday, 5 July 2023. Holding statements are expected to be dispatched to successful
applications on Wednesday, 5 July 2023. KalGold intends to issue the SPP Options shortly after the
Meeting.

Commenting on the SPP, KalGold Managing Director Matt Painter said:
““We would like to thank the many shareholders who applied to participate in the SPP. Consistent
with the strong interest in the recent Placement, there was also strong demand from existing retail
shareholders for the shares offered under the SPP. We are pleased with the strong support from
existing shareholders and this is a strong endorsement of the quality of the Pinjin Project and the
larger KalGold portfolio. The Funds raised from the Placement and SPP positions the company
strongly for the foreseeable future.”
Authorised for lodgement by the Board of Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Limited.

About KalGold
ASX-listed resources company Kalgoorlie Gold Mining (KalGold, ASX: KAL) is a proven, low-cost gold
discoverer with a large portfolio of West Australian projects, focussed on:
•
The Bulong Taurus Project, 35km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, contains the outcropping
La Mascotte gold deposit as well as a series of satellite prospects and historic workings
of the Taurus Goldfield. Importantly, KalGold’s methods resulted in the definition
of a JORC resource estimate (3.61 Mt @ 1.19 g/t Au for 138,000 oz i) that is
one of the most inexpensive in recent times (A$4.60 per ounce of gold).
Exploration work continues at the project.
•
The Pinjin Project within the 30Moz Laverton Tectonic
Zone (host to Sunrise Dam, Granny Smith, Rebecca,
Anglo Saxon, and Wallaby projects) is located only
25km north along strike from Ramelius Resources
(ASX: RMS) Rebecca Gold Project. With historic
work identifying open gold mineralisation from shallow
levels, immediate work is focused on testing mineralisation
continuity. At Kirgella and Pinjin South, tenure is the subject
of a farm-in over the next two years to expand upon known
mineralisation. Between this tenure and KalGold’s existing
tenure and applications, the Company has established a
significant presence in a strategic and important region.
•
Other projects are the focus of early-stage exploration programs. Gold anomalism and
recent discoveries are driving efforts at Perrinvale and Zelica, and under-explored parts
of the Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone are being examined. Additionally, lithium potential is
being tested at the Pianto and Pinjin projects.
