Executive Summary

  • Kincora Copper Ltd. re‑secured 100 % ownership of its Mongolian copper‑gold portfolio after Orbminco withdrew from the September 2024 earn‑in agreement.
  • The portfolio includes a JORC‑reported mineral resource estimate for the West Kasulu prospect, a year‑round field camp, and a proprietary Mongolia‑wide project generation database.
  • Kincora outlines near‑term value‑add options such as pursuing a second mining licence for Bronze Fox and conducting fresh mining studies on the existing oxide resource in response to shifting commodity prices.

Key Details

  • Full Rights Secured: Orbminco (formerly Woomera Mining Ltd.) withdrew, leaving Kincora with 100 % ownership of all Mongolian assets.
  • Asset Components:
  • Large JORC‑coded mineral resource estimate & exploration target for West Kasulu prospect (Bronze Fox project).
  • Year‑round White Pearl field camp.
  • Proprietary Mongolia‑wide project generation database.

  • July 2022: Maiden inferred MRE and updated exploration target reported under JORC by Resilience Mining Mongolia Ltd. (open in all directions).
  • Q4 2024: 16‑hole, 2,516 m drilling program confirmed expansion and higher‑grade potential of West Kasulu resource.
  • Q1 2025: Mapping & surface sampling validated historic samples; identified high‑grade copper‑gold extension at West Kasulu and extensive sub‑cropping mineralization at Shuteen North target.
  • Q3 2025: Large IP and gravity geophysical survey identified additional anomalies west of the current resource and at Shuteen North.
  • Potential Corporate Actions:
