VANCOUVER, BC

July 6, 2020

/CNW/ - Kincora Copper Ltd. (the "Company", "Kincora") (TSXV: KCC) is very pleased to report

the assay results of the first hole at the Trundle project, within the Trundle Park target which has returned multiple significant

intervals of gold and copper mineralisation.

John Holliday

, Technical Committee chair, and

Peter Leaman

, Senior VP of Exploration, commented:

"We are extremely pleased

and excited by the results of this first hole, it is not often you see such high grades near surface within a porphyry environment.

Assay results support previously announced visual interpretations of multiple zones of significant gold and copper

mineralisation. This supports the skarn being a standalone target at depths and intervals often mined by both open cut and

underground methods, but the high-grade zones within broader moderate mineralised zones are very importantly illustrating

significant magmatic fluids associated with the adjacent porphyry intrusion system, which is a much larger target

These results from this first hole at the Trundle Park target, plus visual indications from the second hole 8.5km north at the

Mordialloc target are very encouraging. The Trundle project is interpreted to sit within the interpreted Northparkes Intrusive

Complex, placing Kincora in a unique global setting being a listed junior exploring a large system in a prospective brownfield

field setting."

The skarn and porphyry intrusion system setting intersected at the Trundle Park target is a common geological setting of many

large porphyry systems. Within the Macquarie Arc, the Big and Little Cadia skarns at Cadia have produced an estimated 140,000t

of high-grade copper (5-7%) and greater than 1.5Mt iron ore

, and were important to the discovery of multiple adjacent causative

intrusions and deposits that make up the largest porphyry system in

Australia

The average depth of prior drilling at the Trundle Park target is only 28 metres.

The fourth hole of the ongoing maiden Kincora drilling program at the Trundle project, and follow up hole to TRDD001, has

recently been completed at the Trundle Park target (detailed review of core pending) with drilling activities remobilized to complete

the previously announced third hole at the Bayleys porphyry target.

Assay results from Kincora's second hole at the Mordialloc target (TRDD002), are expected within two weeks. As announced on

June 9

, 2020, TRDD002 has intersected strong alteration halo indicators of a mineralized porphyry intrusion system supporting

the targeted geological setting of a high-level, preserved porphyry system. These indicators include significant intervals with

visually interpreted localized moderate copper grades and inner propylitic zone alteration. A follow up hole at the Mordialloc target

is expected to commence in July.

The Trundle project

The Trundle project is located 30km west of the China Molybdenum Company Limited (CMOC) operated Northparkes copper-gold

project, in the same Northparkes Igneous Complex.

Past explorer drilling has been extensive with the completion of 2208 holes for 61,146 metres but deeper drilling utilising modern

exploration knowledge has been very limited.

Over 92% of prior drilling has been to less than 50 metres depth, a depth that the existing major mines in this belt suggest is just

too shallow, with just 11 holes beyond 300 metres (0.5% of holes drilled).

Existing significant drill intersections supports vectoring to very compelling targets for Kincora's ongoing phase 1 drilling program

at three existing mineralised systems – Trundle Park, Mordiallic and Bayleys. These systems have not been drilled since industry

leading Induced Polarisation survey's, including HPX's proprietary Typhoon system, and magnetic modelling were completed.

QA/QC Procedures

Sampling and QA/QC procedures are carried out by Kincora Copper Limited, and its contractors, using the Company's protocols

as per industry best practise.

All samples have been assayed at ALS Minerals Laboratories, delivered to Orange, NSW,

Australia

. In addition to internal checks

by ALS, the Company incorporates a QA/QC sample protocol utilizing prepared standards and blanks for 5% of all assayed

samples.

Diamond drilling was undertaken by DrillIt Consulting Pty Ltd, from Parkes, under the supervision of our field geologists.

All drill core was logged to best industry standard by well-trained geologists and Kincora's drill core sampling protocol consisted a

collection of samples over mineralized sections of the logged core.

Sample interval selection was based on geological controls or mineralization, and/or guidance from the Technical Committee

provided subsequent to daily drill and logging reports. Sample intervals reflect geological boundaries, are cut by the Company and

samples prepared in line with these geological boundaries, and delivered to ALS.

All reported assay results are performed by ALS and widths reported are drill core lengths. There is insufficient drilling data to

date to demonstrate continuity of mineralised domains and determine the relationship between mineralization widths and intercept

lengths, true widths are not known. The following assay techniques have been adopted:

Gold: Au-AA24 (Fire assay), reported.

Multiple elements: ME-ICP61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES analysis for 33 elements) and ME-MS61 (4 acid digestion with

ICP-AES & ICP-MS analysis for 48 elements), the latter report.

Copper oxides and selected intervals with native copper: ME-ICP44 (Aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES analysis) has been

assayed, but not reported.

Assay results >10g/t gold and/or 1% copper are re-assayed.

About Kincora Copper Limited

(KCC – TSXV)

Kincora is an active junior and systematic explorer seeking to make a major discovery in

Mongolia

, the Lachlan Fold Belt in

Australia

and other prospective complementary jurisdictions.

Our technical team is credited with multiple discoveries of Tier 1 copper assets. In 3Q'19, Kincora made the strategic decision to

opportunistically pursue entry into the Macquarie Arc, in Central West of NSW. This is

Australia's

foremost porphyry belt, home to

the giant Cadia, Northparkes mines and recent Boda discovery by Alkane Resources.

The Macquarie Arc is synergistic in line with Kincora's core focus. It offers: the same scale of target (world-class); the same

commodity mix (copper-gold or gold-copper); the same mineralized setting (porphyry and/or epithermal gold); supports a similar

systematic exploration approach/exploration methods; and, is a region where the team has had significant exploration success.
