About Kincora:
Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused
gold-copper explorer with a hybrid project generator strategy.
The Company is successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes
multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in
Australia's Lachlan Fold Belt and Mongolia's Southern Gobi, two of the globe's leading porphyry belts,
and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar superbasin in NSW.
The Company has already unlocked over $100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier
stage and/or non-core porphyry projects. These initial deals have supported over 13,500 metres of
drilling and over A$6.5m of partner funded exploration since late 2024, with management fees and
exploration ramping up.
Partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship projects that are all situated
within existing porphyry camps containing over 20-million-ounce gold equivalent resource inventory.
By having a significant portfolio of partner funded large porphyry projects, and a very focused program
on a 100% owned Condobolin project, the Company is seeking to position Kincora as a leading
institutional grade explorer in the public Australian and Canadian markets, and the leading project
generator on the ASX.
