Muscat, Oman, Dec 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Three months after its introduction, Oman's 10-Year Golden Residency is emerging as one of the region's most compelling long-term residency pathways, attracting rising interest from investors, entrepreneurs, and internationally mobile families seeking stability, transparent regulation, and strategic access to high-growth markets. The programme-launched under Oman Vision 2040-offers a structured framework for investors wishing to establish deeper roots in a country positioning itself as a secure and globally connected economic hub.The Golden Residency grants eligible applicants long-term residency in return for a minimum investment of USD 520,000 across seven clearly defined routes. These include owning completed real estate units within Integrated Tourism Complexes; establishing a company registered in Oman; purchasing government development bonds; investing in securities listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange; or placing a fixed-term deposit in a licensed Omani bank for a minimum of five years. Applicants may also qualify by owning a company that employs at least 50 Omani nationals or through nomination under Oman's Foreign Capital Investment Law, provided the company's capital meets the required threshold.A defining feature of the programme is its family-centric design. Approved applicants can sponsor their spouse and children of any age, secure additional property outside tourism zones, and employ up to three domestic workers without a local sponsor. The residency also includes fast-track immigration lanes and expanded visit visas for extended family members. These benefits-rare in many global residency schemes-position Oman as a destination offering long-term security as well as an inclusive, predictable environment for families.The application system is fully digital, enabling applicants worldwide to upload documents, track applications, and engage directly with dedicated relationship managers. The programme is supported by Migrate World, which provides due-diligence verification and relocation support to align the onboarding process with international investor-migration standards. The streamlined model reflects Oman's broader institutional push toward efficiency, transparency, and unified investor services.Oman's geographic position at the junction of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East continues to be a central factor in global interest. With access to more than 2.6 billion consumers and direct links to major trade routes, the country is increasingly viewed as a stable base for regional operations. Strong regulatory institutions, long-standing political neutrality, and one of the world's most stable currencies further reinforce investor confidence. Quality-of-life indicators are also contributing to global demand, with Oman ranking among the top countries worldwide for safety, climate, and purchasing power.Officials note that the programme is already complementing national efforts to attract talent and capital into priority sectors. Pathways requiring the employment of Omani nationals support the country's human-capital goals, while mandatory audits strengthen governance and operational standards among participating companies. Early interest from investors in renewable energy, logistics, advanced manufacturing, tourism, and mining aligns closely with Oman's diversification agenda under Vision 2040.As competition intensifies across global residency and citizenship programmes, Oman is positioning its model as long-term, reliable, and partnership-driven. While other regional initiatives rely heavily on short-term incentives, Oman's approach-grounded in regulatory clarity, economic stability, and a family-focused design-is steadily gaining recognition in international investment circles. Three months into its rollout, early indicators suggest the programme is on track to become a key driver of Oman's investment attractiveness in the years ahead.Further details and the full application process are available at: https://omanresidence.gov.om/About Invest OMAN:Invest Oman is the Sultanate's official gateway for strategic investment, offering investors unified access to opportunities across priority sectors aligned with Oman Vision 2040.

From tomorrow until Saturday, the exhibition will welcome industry professionals and the public with free admission. The event brings together over 260 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions, providing an opportunity for design enthusiasts, buyers and members of the public to explore how design connects culture, industry and everyday life through exhibitions, dialogues and workshops.A global platform weaving creativity and commerceThe HKTDC’s commitment to promoting the development of Hong Kong’s cultural and creative industries continues, cementing the city’s role as an east-meets-west centre for international cultural exchange. Since 2017, DesignInspire has provided a platform for designers, brands and creative institutions to connect with potential buyers from around the world, unlocking design-led business opportunities. Sophia Chong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year’s DesignInspire unites global creative and business talents, presenting major international collaborations that underscore the event’s mission as a world-class design platform. Artistic exchange is not only where ideas and inspiration are born – it also provides the opportunity to build new partnerships. With its unique position as a global business hub, Hong Kong is ideally placed to foster international exchanges and collaboration.”A key highlight of this year’s DesignInspire is the triumphant return of French lifestyle and design authority Maison&Objet* which presents the upgraded Maison&Objet Intérieurs Hong Kong 2025*, bringing together 16 internationally renowned designers and artisans and more than 200 brands. Centred on the concept of “Crossroads,” the curation presents a cross-cultural design language spanning dialogue, sustainable innovation and avant-garde craft. Design Factory, curated by four international curators, features over 200 pieces that envision future living through materials, crafts and narrative, including works by French trend hunter Elizabeth Leriche and the co-founders of COLLECTIBLE, Clélie Debehault and Liv Vaisberg.

Highlights include “Time Warp – When Nostalgia Meets the Future”, where local studios Nopaperstudio and Hoopla unpack how retro elements and craft vocabularies evolve into contemporary visual languages, and why the trend for nostalgia resonates in a fast-paced digital era.Another session, “Future development potential of Art Toy IP”, sees international designer Winson Ma analyse industry trends and explore how designer toys forge unique value chains across art, collecting and commerce, covering licensing, production and promotion models that turn creative characters into marketable cultural icons.Other InnoTalks sessions span topics including multisensory design, sustainable interiors and more, running alongside the Maison&Objet Exhibitors’ Forum and the Federation of Hong Kong Industries D Mark Presentation. A series of creative workshops will be open to the public, where participants can experience hands-on art creation, from cyanotype printing, light sculpture and stone painting to miniature art, paper craft and candle-making. Many of the workshops draw inspiration from Hong Kong motifs, integrating local elements into creative experiences.Harnessing the power of design and art to foster community inclusionDesignInspire is also collaborating with St. James’ Creation under St. James’ Settlement to promote artistic development for people in rehabilitation, introducing “MusicCLAY – Noided Music Making Experience Workshop” – a hands-on experience combining clay art with electronic noise music. In addition, the Hong Kong YMCA’s the DOOOR arts space joins the exhibition to integrate art into the community.Running concurrently with DesignInspire are three important HKTDC-led events – Business of IP Asia Forum, Entrepreneur Day and Start-up Express: International Edition 2025 – taking place from 4 to 5 December at the HKCEC, helping to create further synergies and business opportunities.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - December 2, 2025) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: A1W038) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary of the cobalt component of its Hat Polymetallic Deposit in northwestern British Columbia, in advance of the upcoming updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"). Based on the Company's review of publicly available information, the Hat Deposit may contain one of the largest undeveloped cobalt inventories associated with a Canadian mineral deposit.The Hat Deposit Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, released July 25, 2024, outlined a large alkalic porphyry type copper-gold-cobalt-scandium resource, within which cobalt occurs as a by-product metal uniformly associated with copper and pyrite mineralization. The cobalt component of the resource is summarized as follows:Indicated: 150 million tonnes containing 28 million pounds (approximately 12,700 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.008% CoInferred: 477 million tonnes containing 91 million pounds (approximately 41,300 tonnes) of cobalt at 0.009% CoThe Hat Deposit contains one of the more significant undeveloped cobalt-containing mineral resources in Canada. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.Cobalt is consistently distributed throughout the alkalic porphyry system alongside copper, gold, silver, and scandium. Metallurgical testwork to date indicates that cobalt is efficiently liberated into a clean pyrite concentrate suitable for conventional downstream processing. Additional metallurgical work is ongoing.Farshad Shirvani, President & CEO, commented: "Copper, gold, and scandium remain the primary value drivers at the Hat Deposit, but the cobalt content represents a meaningful additional component of the project's critical-minerals profile. As demand for secure and responsibly sourced battery metals continues to rise, the Hat Deposit's location in a Tier-1 jurisdiction and its unusually large cobalt endowment strengthen the project's long-term relevance. As we complete the updated MRE and advance our PEA, cobalt will be one of several important contributors evaluated in the broader economic framework."Why Cobalt from Hat MattersCobalt is designated a critical mineral by Canada, the United States, the European Union, Australia, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It is essential for:High-performance lithium-ion batteriesSuperalloys used in aerospace and defenseClean-energy technologies including wind, fuel cells, and emerging grid-storage systemsMore than 70% of refined cobalt is processed in China, and most mine supply originates from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Western governments and industry groups are seeking secure, ethical, and transparent supply chains. Canada currently produces only minor by-product cobalt amounts. The Hat Deposit has the scale, continuity, and jurisdictional advantages to potentially contribute to future domestic supply should the project advance through the necessary evaluation and development stages.Qualified PersonErik Ostensoe, P.Geo., a consulting geologist and Doubleview's Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure in this news release. Mr. Ostensoe is not independent of Doubleview as he is a shareholder of the Company.About the Hat Polymetallic DepositThe Hat Deposit is located in northwestern British Columbia and is a large alkalic-porphyry system hosting significant copper, gold, cobalt, and scandium mineralization. The project has been advanced through multiple exploration campaigns, geophysical surveys, metallurgical test programs, and drill programs targeting expanded resource potential.

Amended Agreement: Kincora Copper and AngloGold Ashanti sign a major amendment to their Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement ("Agreement") for a second joint venture in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt of the Macquarie Arc supporting total expenditures of up to $100 millionKey Highlights:Multiple-phase, multiple-year agreement covering the Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Mulla projectsStage 1: AngloGold Ashanti may earn a 70% interest by spending $25 millionStage 2: Option to increase to 80% with additional funding and/or studiesThe Agreement for two separate joint ventures cover a continuous strike greater than a 100km's and five projectsKincora remains the operator, receiving a 10% management feeAccelerated Drilling Plans: Expansion to ongoing drilling at the Nyngan project and a new drilling program to commence at the Nevertire and Nevertire South projectsStrong Funding Model: Over $110 million of potential asset level funding has been secured; further large-scale partnerships are under active negotiationKincora remains on track to achieve its ambition for third-party management fees to support a self funding financing modelMelbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - April 14, 2025) - Kincora Copper Limited (TSXV: KCC) (ASX: KCC) ("KCC", "Kincora" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the execution of a major amendment to its existing agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc ("AngloGold Ashanti"). The Agreement opens the way for more extensive exploration in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt ("NJNB") of the Macquarie Arc, Central West NSW, Australia. The NJNB is a globally significant exploration opportunity offering new district scale porphyry potential.First phase drilling at the Nyngan project is ongoing with activities initiated for initial drilling at the highly prospective Nevertire and Nevertire South projects, known for their geological similarities to major deposits like Cadia-Ridgeway.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented:"We are very pleased to broaden our partnership with AngloGold Ashanti. It comes as we continue to progress our ongoing exploration program at the Nyngan project, with a ground gravity survey and hole twelve of the scout drilling program recently completed. In the wake of this second earn-in our drilling plans have been materially expanded at Nevertire and Nevertire South, and now cover three projects. However, and more importantly, we are well positioned to systematically and aggressively advance a new district scale portfolio of five projects covering over 2350km2. The contiguous five projects cover a strike of greater than 100km, more than twice that of the emerging Vicuña district in the Central Andes, which is also an extension to a known world-class porphyry belt. The revised agreement is structured in a manner which supports Kincora shareholders being carried potentially to the equivalent stage of four pre-development recent discoveries in Vicuña that have a current valuation of over $10 billion. AngloGold Ashanti is a successful greenfield explorer and while we are only now ramping up our exploration activities with them, they have already invested over $14 million in the NJNB. We are both very excited about the targets being drilled across the first three Kincora projects in 2025.While Kincora has now unlocked over $110 million of potential partner funding we see ample scope to further significantly grow this figure. The Company is advancing discussions for further large-scale partner agreements and is on track to achieve its ambition for third party management fees to provide a self-funding financing exploration model."Figure 1: The Macquarie Arc is a proven Tier 1 terrane and Australia's foremost copper porphyry belt hosting a number of world-class minesThe Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) is a largely untested extension of the Macquarie Arc situated under the post-mineral coverTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/248376_kincoraimg1.jpgProject generator funding model Kincora's asset level partner model for its wholly owned large scale exploration stage porphyry projects, commonly referred to a project generator model in the North American markets, has now unlocked over $110 million of potential partner funding for eight earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects1. Existing partners include:AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) is the world's fourth largest gold miner by production and is partner for the NJNB project portfolio (including five projects across two joint venture arrangements) 1(a);Fleet Space Technologies Pty Ltd ("Fleet Space", private) is one of Australia's fastest growing companies and is widely recognised as Australia's leading space exploration company. Fleet Space recently raised $150m in a Series D financing. It is Kincora's partner for the Wongarbon project and recently completed its maiden integrated Ambient Noise Tomography and gravity geophysical survey at the Nyngan project 1(b,c);Earth AI Pty Ltd ("Earth AI", private), an Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning explorer. Earth AI recently raised $20m in a Series B financing and is partner for the Cundumbul project 1(d); and,Orbminco Limited (formerly Woomera Mining) is a Mongolian focused explorer and is partner for the Bronze Fox project 1(e).Kincora is the current operator of the NJNB project portfolio with AngloGold Ashanti and receives a 10% management fee of expenditure.Discussions are ongoing for further agreements for the Company's remaining four (and generally significantly more advanced and/or proximal to existing world-class mines) porphyry projects in NSW, including Fairholme, Jemalong, Trundle and Nyngan West.The Company plans to retain its Condobolin project, which hosts the historical Condobolin high grade open cut gold and base metals mining field situated within trucking distance to the Mineral Hill mine (which has capacity for, and is seeking, third party ore) and within the southern section of the emerging Cobar Superbasin. The timeline and capital needs to significantly add value and advance the Condobolin project is materially less than the Company's porphyry projects.Kincora's ambition is to be the operator for exploration budgets of over $10 million per annum for the porphyry portfolio providing sufficient project management fees for the Company to be self funding (covering corporate costs and maintenance of remaining wholly owned projects) and have partnerships with a diversified portfolio of industry leading producers/explorers.Nyngan, Nevertire and Nevertire South ProgramsA major amendment to the original Earn-in and Joint Venture agreement with AngloGold Ashanti now includes the Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Mulla projects, which are adjacent to the Nyngan and Nevertire projects (the latter two included in the original May 2024 agreement) and streamlines exploration across a continuous strike that exceeds a 100km's.Initial scout drilling activities at the Nyngan project commenced late last year and are ongoing. To date, twelve holes in total have been complete in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, and follows encouraging results for the first six holes completed in 4Q'20242.Looking ahead, a recently completed ground gravity survey covering over 400km2 has identified a number of new potential targets for drilling. Interpretations and discussions for potential follow up drilling are now underway with AngloGold Ashanti as the scout drilling program continues. Various coincident magnetic and new gravity anomalies have been identified at both the wider South West and Ace of Spades Targets.A Stage 2 follow up phase of step out drilling is proposed post completion of the scout drilling program.Under the amended agreement, planned exploration activities have been expanded to support a first phase drilling program at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South projects with unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km Nevertire Magmatic Complex ("NMC").Prior explorer drilling at the southern section of the NMC has returned anomalous copper-gold mineralisation, favourable fertility defined by green rock analysis, geochemical zonation and alteration suggestive of an outer porphyry system setting with age dates confirming a highly prospective Phase 4 Macquarie Arc intrusive complex (at approximately 220m depth down hole).Having secured three prior explorer drill holes at the NMC from the Cadia mine site, a review by Kincora's technical director John Holliday supports Newcrest prior interpretation that "drilling has identified lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 3. John is a foremost figure on Macquarie Arc porphyry systems having been a principal originator, discoverer and site manager for the Tier 1 Cadia gold-copper porphyry and the Marsden copper gold porphyry deposits.A priority for the upcoming drilling program is an initial follow up program to prior Newcrest hole ACDNY006 which returned a very encouraging intersection of anomalous copper mineralisation (from basement to end of hole), veining and magnetite alteration situated in a high volcanic-hosted level 3.Prior Newcrest drilling supports Kincora's view of the planned walk up drill targets within the Nevertire South project underpinning the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project within the NJNB district.A planned drilling program seeks to step out from hole ACDNY006 to discover or create a vectoring pattern to a possible deposit and also test open extensions to the NMC - see Figure 2.The drilling programs at the Nyngan, Nevertire and Nevertire South projects are expected to run into the third quarter of 2025, providing a steady stream of news flow and management fees to the Company.Key terms of the Earn-in and Joint Venture AgreementThe key terms of the amended agreement with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc, covering the Nyngan South (Exploration Licence 9708), Nevertire South (Exploration Licence 9710) and Mulla (Exploration License 9320) projects ("New Tenements"), are in addition to the arrangement in respect of the original May 2024 agreement for the Nyngan (Exploration Licence 8929) and Nevertire (Exploration Licence 8960) projects and, in summary, comprise:AngloGold may earn a 70% initial interest in the New Tenement by incurring $25 million in total expenditure on exploration in the initial earn-in period of up to seven years upon which a joint venture would be formed (Phase I). This includes a minimum expenditure of $2 million within the first two years (Minimum Obligation). AngloGold is permitted to withdraw from the Agreement after satisfying the Minimum Obligation or payment of any shortfall.AngloGold can then earn an additional 10% interest in the New Tenements (for a total interest of 80%) by completing a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) or by funding a further $25m of expenditure over an additional three years (Phase II).Kincora will initially operate and conduct all exploration activities as directed by an Exploration Management Committee that will comprise two members from each party, and be entitled to a 10% management fee.The amended agreement is otherwise on terms that are customary for similar agreements and includes the agreed principal terms of the proposed joint venture agreement that will apply if AngloGold earns an interest in the NJNB tenements.All expenditure timelines under the Agreement can be accelerated.The amendments to the existing agreement are conditional on Ministerial consent being obtained within six months.Refer to the May 28, 205 release "AngloGold Ashanti to earn-in to the NJNB Project" for details for the original Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement for the Nyngan and Nevertire projects.About the NJNB Project PortfolioThe Macquarie Arc is Australia's premier porphyry copper-gold province being a hotspot for recent corporate activity, with over $16 billion of M&A for producing assets and over $385m of exploration earn-in/joint ventures, and exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 4.Despite regional magnetics effectively mapping the Macquarie Arc volcanic belts, due to the post mineral cover there has been very limited prior drilling of the extensions of both the Junee-Narromine and Molong volcanic belts relative to the southern more outcropping sections. These more mature southern exploration regions host over 160Moz gold equivalent inventory 5 and a number of world-class mines (Cadia, Cowal and Northparkes).Kincora's portfolio and the wider NJNB offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with magnetics, gravity and new Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) surveys, supportive of large-scale targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern section of the Arc. AngloGold Ashanti has secured Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreements with both Kincora and Inflection Resources (Inflection, market capitalisation C$33.7 million, >4x Kincora's 6) covering ~10,000km2 within the NJNB with over A$14 million investment to date 7. In the last month AngloGold Ashanti has moved to Phase II of its earn-in agreement with Inflection designating a total of four projects to continue earning into (including two projects adjacent to Kincora's Nyngan project) 8 - see Figure 2.The most recent notable example of a new globally significant emerging porphyry district is the Vicuña district, which is also an extension of a renowned world-class porphyry belt. Vicuña is an extension of the central Andean belts in Argentina on the border of Chile and situated at over 4000m altitude.Within this district NGEx Resources Inc in 2009 held three early-stage exploration projects and at the time had a market capitalisation of approximately C$40 million 9. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded in four large-scale discoveries currently valued at over $10 billion 10.Kincora was an early mover into the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt, securing a district scale portfolio of the interpreted most prospective and shallow to moderate covered part of the northwards extension of the Macquarie Arc under post mineral cover. This portfolio now covers a strike twice the length of the Vicuña district and included in earn-in and agreements with AngloGold Ashanti.The NJNB is virgin exploration territory and offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with regional magnetics and gravity, supportive of large-scale intrusive complexes and targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern and more mature sections of the Macquarie Arc.Figure 2: First phase drilling activities at Kincora's Nyngan project are ongoing with activities initiated for initial drilling at the highly prospective Nevertire and Nevertire South projectsIn the last month, AngloGold Ashanti has moved to Phase II of its earn-in agreement with Inflection Resources (market capitalisation >C$33 million) designating a total of four projects to continue earning into (including two adjacent to Kincora's Nyngan and Nyngan South licenses) and formed a second earn-in and joint venture agreement with KincoraTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/248376_kincoraimg2.jpgAbout AngloGold AngloGold Ashanti plc (NYSE: AU) (market capitalization ~US$21.6 billion) is the world's fourth largest gold miner by production with projects and exploration activities across nine countries on four continents.AngloGold pursues value-creating opportunities, where it can leverage their existing assets, shareholdings, skills and experience.AngloGold has a track record of successful exploration with its greenfields and brownfields exploration programmes seeking to support sustainability and growth of its business.

In particular, the last hole of 2024, hole NYDD007 encountered porphyry style quartz veins, multiple intrusives, a locally developed exoskarn and significant sulphides strongly warranting step out drilling to either discover or provide a vectoring pattern to a possible deposit. Further separate potential complexes within the South-West and Ace of Spades targets have been chosen for the continuation of the scout drilling. A detailed ground gravity survey covering ~400km2 is in progress to help define more drilling targets including possible silicified basement hills under the cover rocks which may be due to high sulphidation gold mineralisation related to porphyry deposits. The expanded scout drilling and ground gravity survey will assist with specific vectoring and a budgeted second phase follow-up and step out drilling program. Preparations are also taking place for the first Kincora-AngloGold Ashanti drilling at the Nevertire project." Background The interpreted undercover extensions of the renowned Macquarie Arc porphyry copper-gold geology are a globally significant exploration opportunity offering new district(s) scale discovery potential. The relatively mature and well-explored sections of the Macquarie Arc host:a mineral endowment of over 160 million gold equivalent ounces 2,multiple world-class mines, some of which have recently attracted over $16 billion of corporate activity 3, and,two projects with resource growth of over 10 million gold equivalent ounces (Boda-Kaiser and Cowal) 4.The less explored extensions of the Arc have attracted five recent earn-in and joint venture agreements supporting potentially over $300 million in exploration and development expenditures 3.Kincora was an early entrant into the geophysically interpreted undercover Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) of the Macquarie Arc. The Company now holds a >100km north-south strike of contiguous licenses across a number of interpreted underexplored, some never drilled, probable intrusive complexes and volcanic edifice sections of the undercover extensions of this belt.The Company's Nyngan and Nevertire projects are two of a total of five Kincora projects in the NJNB, and are being advanced via an up to A$50 million earn-in and joint venture agreement with AngloGold Ashanti (the other three projects are held 100% and Kincora is proactively seeking asset level partners).Initial drilling results at the Nyngan project have provided strong encouragement and support the view that the Nyngan project is highly prospective for large scale porphyry related copper-gold deposits and offers new district scale potential.The exploration program by Kincora with AngloGold Ashanti has been expanded, including both a continuation of a scout drilling program and an expansion of ground gravity geophysical surveying.During 4Q'2024, six holes for 2707m were completed utilising cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the relatively soft post mineral cover sequence followed by diamond core drilling (NQ3) of porphyry-prospective basement. The holes have provided samples of basement geology across separate magnetic complexes and key lithological domains.The first phase scout program has sought to gain wide spatial coverage across in two very broad areas, the South-West target and the Ace of Spades target, both defined by coincident aeromagnetic and gravity features with only one previous hole to basement at the South-West target and no prior basement intersections at the Ace of Spades (see Figure 2).The holes (NYDD002 to NYDD007) encountered a variety of basement lithologies including andesite, volcaniclastic breccia, diorite, gabbro, dolerite, and granodiorite, sandstone and siltstone, which based on extensive geological experience in the district, are all interpreted to be Macquarie Arc basement rocks, but noting age dating and lithogeochemistry analysis are pending. Hole NYDD007 within the south-western stem of the Ace of Spades has identified a high priority follow-up target warranting step out drilling to either discover or create a vectoring pattern to a possible deposit. See Figure 3 for select photos of NYDD007 drill core.Intervals hosting native copper, chalcopyrite, bornite, pyrite and molybdenite were noted in holes NYDD002, 003, 004, 006 and 007 (see Tables 1 and 2). The sulphides occur as disseminations, fracture-fill and within quartz±carbonate veins, and also in mineralized skarn in NYDD007. Long intervals of anomalous copper were returned in the assays for NYDD003, 004 and 007 (see Table 2). The volcanic, sedimentary and/or intrusive rocks had been overprinted by moderate to strong, patchy to pervasive magnetite+chlorite-, epidote+carbonate±albite-, sericite and garnet+epidote+chlorite+calcite bearing hydrothermal alteration assemblages in NYDD003, 004, 006 and 007.Table 1: Nyngan project: Summary of 2024 mud rotary-diamond tail drill holes (metres)HoleMudRotaryDiamondCoreEnd of HoleInterpreted BasementBasementIntervalHighlightsNYDD002212.9240.7453.6440.812.8Chalcopyrite, borniteNYDD003257.8168.6426.4255171.4ChalcopyriteNYDD004235.3265.6500.9318182.9Chalcopyrite, pyrite, native copperNYDD005335.535.7371.233338.2 NYDD006302.7135.5438.2302.7135.5ChalcopyriteNYDD007305.7210.6516.3305.7210.6Pyrite, molybdenite, chalcopyrite native copperTotal1649.9 1056.72706.6 Drilling paused for the summer holiday period with the scout drilling program recommenced to provide further wide spatial coverage of basement lithologies across separate potential intrusive complexes at both the South-West and Ace of Spades targets. Further drill hole permits have been submitted for up to a total of twenty holes (see Figure 2).A ground gravity survey is progressing well, covering a total of ~400km2 across the extensions of the South-West and Ace of Spade targets (see Figure 2), and expanding and providing infill coverage from the ground gravity survey completed in 2024. The infill program is expected to refine an existing interpreted high sulphidation gold target associated with a basement high, whilst the regional survey is expected to define additional targets.Completion of the initial scout drilling program and the ground gravity survey are expected to refine areas of interest for a proposed and budgeted second phase follow-up drilling.Figure 1: A new district-scale series of major and untested magmatic complex targets are situated with in the Nyngan project that potentially represent the largest volcano-intrusive complex of the Macquarie ArcKincora is managing the exploration program, currently receives a 10% management fee of expenditures with expanded initial scout drilling and ground gravity survey ongoingTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/240664_figure1.jpgFigure 2: 6 wide spaced scout holes have been completed with drilling expanded with further approvals submitted for up to a total of 20-holes.

The reported maximum assay values is over a 1.3m sample of the gabbro unit below a contact with an overlying conglomerate (from 440.7m), The intersected basement had a weak to moderate pervasive propylitic alteration assemblage comprising chlorite, magnetite and epidote, overprinted by weak patchy albite with hematite dusting. The last four metres of the hole had rare very fine grained bornite and chalcopyrite occurring together with chlorite and magnetite.2 - NYDD003 returned broad intervals of anomalous copper (up to 378ppm copper over 2m from 396m). The best intercepts were 6m @ 214ppm copper from 309m (within a fine to medium grained basaltic andesite with moderate pervasive chlorite, patchy epidote with 1-5% wispy calcite±epidote±quartz veins, rarely with fine grained pyrite and chalcopyrite) and 64m @ 264ppm copper from 362.4m (within very coarse grained plagioclase phyric diorite with weak to moderate pervasive chlorite+calcite+magnetite with patchy epidote and non-stratified pebbly-granular volcaniclastic sandstone or matrix-supported breccia with moderately shearing and foliation, moderate pervasive chlorite+calcite and very weak to weak patchy zones of very fine grained quartz, magnetite and pyrite) (calculated using 200ppm copper minimum and 4m internal dilution cutoffs).3 - volcaniclastic rocks returned anomalous copper (up to 680ppm copper over 2m from 381m within a andesite brecca clast) over broad intervals in NYDD004. The best intercepts were from upper parts of the hole, where native copper occurred as fracture-fill and disseminations: 14m @ 427ppm copper from 339m and 8m @ 523ppm copper from 375m. Broad intervals of disseminated and vein-hosted chalcopyrite occurred in lower parts of the hole: 28m @ 255 ppm copper from 393m and 65m @ 249ppm copper from 428.5m (calculated using 200ppm copper minimum and 4m internal dilution cutoffs).4 - Minor mineralization was noted in NYDD005 and related to disseminated very fine-grained magnetite and rare euhedral pyrite crystals with calcite strain fringes with only up to 159ppm copper over 2m from 341m.5 - Trace chalcopyrite was rarely observed in hole NYDD006 in calcite+quartz±epidote veins with up to 245ppm copper over 2m from 316m.6 - NYDD007 encountered a volcanic package of plagioclase phyric andesite, microdiorite, fine-grained volcaniclastic sandstone and minor andesite-clast breccia, intruded by an equigranular granodiorite and associated aplite, pegmatite and quartz-feldspar porphyry. The intrusions occurred as multi-metre bodies, smaller dykes, veins and stringers. Pyrite (locally up to 5%) and trace amounts of chalcopyrite, molybdenite and native copper (locally up to 0.3%) occurred in hole NYDD007. Quartz+pyrite±carbonate±epidote veins up to 5cm width occurred throughout the hole, within the granodiorite and volcanic-sedimentary host rocks, some containing chalcopyrite or molybdenite, many with bleached, sericite-rich selvedges. There were also pyrite±chalcopyrite veins and pyrite stringers. Late carbonate veins and breccia veins tended to be associated with fracture zones and were surrounded by broad sericite+carbonate±pyrite-altered zones. There were multiple hydrothermal and contact-metamorphic alteration assemblages observed throughout NYDD007. The maximum grade of 0.215 g/t gold is over 1m from 418m with a geological description provided in Figure 3 with an accompanying photo and description of that lithological unit..

It is a large 762km2 direct application tenement granted by the NSW State Government covering a significant portion of the interpreted under cover section of the northern Junee-Narromine Belt 7. The Junee-Narromine Belt is one of the two largest belts of the Macquarie Arc, Australia's foremost porphyry belt, which hosts a mineral endowment of over 160 million gold equivalent ounces 2.The license hosts almost no prior explorer drilling even though regional geophysics strongly indicates a new potential district-scale setting for a significant number of interpreted, large-scale, porphyry copper-gold intrusive complex targets.In May 2024, Kincora signed a definitive multiple-phase Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement (Agreement) over the Nyngan and Nevertire licences with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc (NYSE: AU; JSE: ANG), the world's fourth largest gold miner by production which has a successful track record for greenfields discovery success.AngloGold Ashanti has the right to spend up to A$50 million to earn an 80% interest through:A$25 million of exploration expenditure to earn a 70% joint venture interest (Phase I) including a minimum A$2 million expenditure obligation, with Kincora the initial operator for a 10% management fee.Completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) or funding of a further $25 million of expenditure to earn a 80% joint venture interest (Phase II).In July 2024, separate to the Agreement with AngloGold Ashanti, Kincora formed a partnership with Fleet Space Technologies Pty Ltd (Fleet Space) to undertake Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and gravity geophysical surveys under a research and development grant at the Nyngan project.The Fleet Space surveys were completed in 2024 and focused on a small portion of the Ace of Spades target. The ongoing ground gravity survey covering ~400km2 provides further coverage across the extensions of the South-West and Ace of Spade targets and infill spacing over areas of the 2024 ground gravity survey.About Kincora Kincora Copper Limited is dual listed on the ASX and TSX-V (ticker "KCC") and is an active explorer and project generator focused on world-class copper-gold discoveries.The Company has recently shifted to an asset level funding strategy for its wholly owned porphyry projects, partnering to date for five of twelve projects, and retaining its Cobar superbasin project (Condobolin) as a 100% owned project.Recent deals have unlock up to A$60 million in multiple year partner funding and supported countercyclical growth increasing the number of NSW based projects by a third.Field activities resumed in 4Q'2024 and have began to ramp up with over 7000 metres of drilling and over A$3.5m of partner funded exploration.Kincora is now focused on further and larger asset level deals for its more advanced and/or proximal to mine porphyry projects, and, advancing the next stage of exploration for already partnered projects.For more information please visit Kincora's website at www.kincoracopper.comReferences:1 The interpretation of Macquarie Arc age basement rocks is based on extensive geological experience in the district with age dating, lithogeochemistry and other analytical analysis are pending seeking to confirm2 Sourced from MinEx Consulting for Kincora3 Sourced Ocean Blue Equities Oct 8, 2024 initiation research report on Waratah Minerals4 These include: (i) Cowal epithermal gold project by Evolution Mining: Current endowment of 13.7Mtoz gold, including historic production of 4.7Moz gold and current resource of 9Moz gold, relative to the resource of 3.4Moz gold at the time of the project acquisition in May 2015.

These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed informationKincora Copper Limited (Kincora) is the operator of the Nyngan Project (EL8929) undertaking exploration in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti under an earn-in and joint venture agreement.Drill hole planning, targeting, sampling and budgeting is discussed and agreed at quarterly technical committee workshops between Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti.Drilling ulitises mud-rotary to refusal followed by diamond coring methods by Ophir Drilling Pty Ltd from which sub-samples of core are taken over 2 m intervals and pulverised to produce suitable aliquots for fire assay and ICP-MS.Diamond drilling was used to obtain core samples from the ground, which was then structurally, geotechnically and geologically logged.Some sample intervals spanning lithological contacts or changes in alteration and mineralization were less than 2 m.Sampling was completed to industry standards with 1⁄4 core for PQ and HQ diameter diamond core and 1⁄2 core for NQ3 diameter diamond core sent to the lab for each sample interval.Samples were assayed via the following methods:- Gold: Au-Tl43 (Fire assay)-Multiple elements: ME-MS61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-MS analysis of 48 elements)- Assay results >10g/t gold and/or 1% copper are re-assayed- Hyperspectral: analysis of alteration minerals using Terraspec instrument and HYP-PKGAll of the diamond core from the 2024 drilling of six holes has been cut and submitted to Australian Laboratory Services Pty Ltd (ALS) in Orange, with assays returned for all holes.An initial batch of nine core samples for petrological descriptions and confirmation of the lithologies, alteration assemblages, textures and paragenesis has been submitted, with results pending at the time of writing.Four quarter core samples have been submitted for U-Pb age dating of the zircon, titanite or apatite grains, with results pending at the time of writing.A suite of coherent (volcanic and intrusive) rocks have been chosen for lithogeochemistry, with results pending at the time of writing.Select existing pulps will be re-run as Li borate fusion discs to obtain more accurate trace element concentrations.Historic sampling on other projects included soils, rock chips and drilling (aircore, reserve circulation and diamond core).Drilling techniquesDrill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).Drilling by Kincora at Nyngan has used cost effective mud-rotary in the cover sequence rocks and diamond core drilling in the basement rocks with NQ triple tube diameter diamond core tail.Historic drilling on other Kincora projects have used a variety of methods including aircore, reverse circulation and diamond core.Drill sample recoveryMethod of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.Drill core recovery was logged.Diamond drill core recoveries are contained in the body of the announcement - see Table 3.Core recoveries were recorded by measuring the total length of recovered core expressed as a proportion of the drilled run length.There is no relationship between core recoveries and grades.LoggingWhether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.All holes are geologically logged for their entire length including lithology, alteration, mineralization (sulphides and oxides), veining and structure.Logging is mostly qualitative in nature, with some visual estimation of mineral proportions that is semi-quantitative. Measurements are taken on structures where core is orientated.All core is photographed wet and dryHistoric drilling was logged with logging mostly recorded on paper in reports lodged with the NSW State.Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparationIf core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.Once all geological information was extracted from the drill core, the sample intervals were cut with an automatic core saw, bagged and delivered to the laboratory.This is an appropriate sampling technique for this style of mineralization and is the industry standard for sampling of diamond drill core.PQ and HQ sub-samples are quarter cored and NQ half cored.Sample sizes are considered appropriate the nature of lithology and mineralization being sampled.No duplicate samples were taken.Quality of assay data and laboratory testsThe nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.Gold was determined by fire assay and a suite of other elements including Cu and Mo by 4-acid digest with ICP-MS finish at ALS laboratories in Orange.For all holes, every 20th sample was either a commercially supplied pulp standard or pulp blank Certified Reference Material. Results of the Certified Reference Materials provide confidence in the accuracy of the analyses returned from ALS.ALS provides its own quality controls including laboratory duplicates and blanks as part of its routine procedures and provides these results to Kincora.Historic assays on other projects were mostly gold by fire assay and other elements by ICP.Verification of sampling and assayingThe verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.The use of twinned holes.Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.Discuss any adjustment to assay data.Significant intercepts were calculated by Kincora's geological staff.No twinned holes have been completed.The intercepts have not been verified by independent personnel.Logging data is captured digitally on electronic logging tablets and sampling data is captured on paper logs and transcribed to an electronic format into a relational master online database maintained by Kincora. Transcribed data is verified by the logging geologist.Assay data is received from the laboratory in electronic format and uploaded to the master database. Digital copies of Certificates of Analysis are stored in the master online database.No adjustments to assay data have been made.Outstanding assays are outlined in the body of the announcement.Location of data pointsAccuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.Specification of the grid system used.Quality and adequacy of topographic control.Collar positions are set up using a hand-held GPS to less than 5 m horizontal and vertical accuracy.Drillholes are surveyed downhole every 30 m using an electronic gyro instrument and when drillholes terminated a single shot is taken.For NYDD002 and NYDD003, a single shot gyro survey was taken every 12m while pulling out of the hole.Grid system used is the Map Grid of Australia Zone 55, GDA 94 datum.Topography in the area of Nyngan is near-flat and drill collar elevations provide adequate controlData spacing and distributionData spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.Whether sample compositing has been applied.Kincora drilling at Nyngan is at an early stage, undertaking a wide spaced initial scout drilling programme seeking to determine depth to basement and provide maiden samples of basement geology across separate magnetic complexes and key lithological domains to provide wide spatial coverage within the South West and Ace of Spades targets.Data spacing at this stage is insufficient to establish the continuity required for a Mineral Resource estimate.No sample compositing was applied to Kincora drilling.Historic drilling on Nyngan and other projects was completed at various drill hole spacings and no other projects have spacing sufficient to establish a mineral resource.Orientation of data in relation to geological structureWhether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.The drill holes are either vertical for depth penetration or steeply angled toward geophysical targets.At this stage of drilling the orientation the orientation of any mineralized structures or mineralized intercepts has not yet been determined.Sample securityThe measures taken to ensure sample security.Kincora staff or their contractors oversaw all stages of drill core sampling. Bagged samples were placed inside polyweave sacks that were zip-tied, stored in a locked container and then transported to the laboratory by Kincora field personnel.Audits or reviewsThe results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.Mining Associates has completed an review of sampling techniques and procedures undertaken by Kincora at the Trundle Project dated January 31st, 2021, as outlined in the Independent Technical Report included in the ASX listing prospectus, which is available at:https://www.kincoracopper.com/investors/asx-prospectusKincora has continued to follow similar sampling techniques, systems and controls.Regular site visits are undertaken by Kincora's asset level partner, AngloGold Ashanti, with quarterly technical committee workshops reviewing all aspects of the programme.

Further details of exploration efforts and data of other parties are providing in the March 1st, 2021, Independent Technical Report included in the ASX listing prospectus, which is available at:https://www.kincoracopper.com/investors/asx-prospectusGeologyDeposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.The Nyngan Project is interpreted to be located in the undercover northern extension of the Junee-Narromine Belt of the Macquarie Arc, part of the Lachlan Orogen.Targeted rocks comprise successions of volcano-sedimentary rocks of Ordovician age intruded by suites of subduction arc-related intermediate to felsic intrusions of late Ordovician to early Silurian age.Kincora is exploring for porphyry-style copper and gold mineralization, copper-gold skarn plus related high sulphidation and epithermal gold systems.Drill hole InformationA summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:easting and northing of the drill hole collarelevation or RL (Reduced Level - elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collardip and azimuth of the holedown hole length and interception depthhole length.If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.Detailed information on Kincora's drilling at Nyngan is given in the body of the report.Data aggregation methodsIn reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.Kincora drilling at Nyngan the following methods were used:Porphyry gold-copper intercepts were aggregated using a cut-off grade of 200ppm copper.Internal dilution below cut off included was generally less than 25% of the total reported intersection length.Core loss was included as dilution at zero values.Average gold and copper grades calculated as averages weighted to sample lengths.Historic drilling results in other project areas are reported at different cut-off grades depending on the nature of mineralisation.Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengthsThese relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known').Due to the uncertainty of mineralization orientation, the true width of mineralization is not known at Nyngan.Intercepts from historic drilling reported at other projects are also of unknown true width.DiagramsAppropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.Relevant diagrams and tables are included in the body of the report.Balanced reportingWhere comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.Intercepts reported for Kincora's drilling at Nyngan are zones of higher grade within unmineralized or weakly anomalous material.Other substantive exploration dataOther exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.No other exploration data is considered material to the reporting of results at Nyngan. Other data of interest to further exploration targeting is included in the body of the report.Historic exploration data coverage and results are included in the body of the report for Kincora's other projects.Further workThe nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.Areas within the South-West and Ace of Spades targets at the Nyngan Project have been chosen for a continuation of the scout drilling during 2025, seeking to provide further wide special coverage of interpreted intrusive complexes. New APOs and amendments to existing approvals are pending - see Figures 2 & 3.An expanded ground gravity survey across both targets is proposed with land access agreements in place - see Figures 2 & 3.Coupled with more detailed geoscientific studies, including petrology, lithogeochemistry and geochronology, the continuation of the scout drilling programme and expanded ground gravity survey will assist with specific vectoring and a proposed second phase follow-up diamond drilling programmes during 2025.
