Australia

One of the bigger events during 2011, was the spin off of the company's Australian gold project into Archean Star, which was listed separately on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ASP. Kent retained approximately 10 million shares or 22% of Archean.

Archean Star is currently conducting a diamond drill program at the Gnaweeda Gold Project in the Meekatharra Gold Field, located in the highly prolific Murchison Gold Belt in Western Australia. The Murchison Gold Belt has produced in excess of 18 million ounces of gold, and there are currently several significant programs underway in the area, by companies listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.

New Zealand

Kent continues to focus on its 3 gold projects, all located in the highly prolific gold fields of New Zealand. Historically, more than 2 million ounces of hard rock gold along with more than 8 million ounces of placer gold have been mined along the West Coast of the South Island.

The recent diamond drill program succeeded in establishing the presence of 2 parallel gold bearing zones at the company's 26 square kilometre Alexander River project, in an area that showed historical production of 41,000 ounces of gold from 49,000 tons of ore. This works out to roughly 0.83 ounces of gold per tonne. The company recently received an exploration permit covering about 30% of this property, and plans to recommence exploration in early 2012.

To the west of their Alexander River project, on their 178 square kilometre Paparoa Gold prospect, approximately 250,000 ounces of alluvial gold were reportedly historically produced from the Moonlight Creek watershed in the centre of the project. This included 2 of the largest gold nuggets ever recovered in New Zealand, the largest being 87.5 ounces, which would be worth approximately $140,000 at today's price. The company plans to extend its current prospecting program at Paparoa during 2012, to further identify additional hardrock sources of the alluvial gold.

The company's third, and largest property, is the 261 square kilometre Lyell Gold project, which lies approximately 40 kilometres northeast of Westport. This area, considered to be the northern extension of the Reefton Gold Field, is substantially under explored, despite the presence of numerous small historic gold mines in the area.

Flagstaff Barite Project

The Company has expended considerable effort in getting its Flagstaff Barite Project into production this past year in order to produce cash flow to fund the Company's ongoing gold exploration programs. While some cash flow has been produced, it is insufficient to fund the Company's ongoing operations, so additional funding will be required going forward to complete this program.

During the year the Company cleaned up the mine-site and re-established the road accesses to the historic open pit, separated the historic approximately 35,000 ton stockpile into high grade and waste, and drilled and blasted and stockpiled an additional approximately 14,000 tons of ore. The Company screened the barite ore into two stockpiles, one of approximately 15,000 tons of crushed fines for upgrading and one of approximately 20,000 tons of 3/4 inch minus for further crushing and upgrading. The Company was unable to complete the upgrading before weather conditions deteriorated on the mountain, so has erected a storage facility in the town of Northport, WA, in order to complete upgrading and processing the raw material to a specific gravity of 4.1 during the winter months.
