Kingsgate Consolidated Limited (Kingsgate) is a highly successful gold mining, development and exploration company, traded on the Australian Stock Exchange (KCN: ASX). The company owns and operates the world class low cost Chatree gold mine in central Thailand, the Challenger underground gold mine in South Australia and 70% of Laguna Resources NL that is undertaking a feasibility study on the advanced Arqueros silver/gold project in the highly prospective Maricunga Gold Belt in Central Chile.

A strong commitment to near mine exploration is growing the reserve/resource position and supporting a major expansion of operations in Thailand to a rate of 200,000 ounces per annum. At Challenger, a renewed focus on the exploration potential close to the surface is delivering results.

Over the next three years Kingsgate's gold production will grow to over 400,000 ounces of gold per year supporting Kingsgate as the premier mid-tier ASX listed gold producer.

Kingsgate was officially listed on the ASX in April 1988.
The company's strategic advantage is its specialist knowledge of the geological, political and business culture of South East Asia developed over the 15 years of operating there. Exploration in Thailand led to the greenfields discovery of the Chatree gold deposit in 1995 and development in 2000-01.

Gold mineralisation occurs at Chatree as low sulphidation quartz carbonate epithermal veins, breccias and stockworks, within a 7.5 by 2.5 kilometre zone of silicified volcanics and related sediments. New gold discoveries have been made within the exploration properties surrounding Chatree. 

The deposit is located 280 kilometres north of Bangkok in open farmland adjacent to bitumen roads and serviced by the national power grid and is accessed from Bangkok and its port by freeways and highway quality roads.
