Melbourne, Australia — March 21st, 2023
Kincora Copper Limited (ASX & TSXV: KCC, Kincora or the Company) is pleased to provide
an exploration update from the new phase of drilling at the brownfield Trundle project, located
in the Macquarie Arc of the Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) in NSW, Australia.
The drilling is testing 5 shallow large-scale porphyry and porphyry-related skarn targets across
the 3.2km strike of the mineralised magnetic complex at the southern portion of the Trundle
license.
John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, noted:
“Kincora’s first three drill holes from the current drill program at Trundle
have been very encouraging, with all having intersected zones of potential
ore grade mineralisation at relatively shallow depths.
The Botfield massive, mineralised magnetite skarn intersection has indicated
that the 0.75-1km long Botfield magnetic high anomaly is likely caused by a
large magnetite skarn body. This is interpreted to be part of a very large
porphyry-related copper-gold system. The magnetic anomaly had not been
tested effectively by historic drilling. The Botfield prospect will be followed up
by a priority hole into the core of the magnetic anomaly 250m further to the
east.
We believe the Botfield skarn is the uplifted, nearer surface part of the
extensive and well mineralised skarn system at our previously discovered
Southern Extension Zone. Botfield hole TRDD037 intersected massive
magnetite skarn from only 330 metres vertical depth compared to 710 metres
vertical depth in TRDD032 located 430 metres to the west.
Additionally, intersecting porphyry style mineralisation at shallow depths
with good grades at the Dunn’s North and South prospects, located 640
metres apart, provides significant encouragement in a new area of
exploration. Our understanding of these new prospects has been greatly
improved with gold and porphyry A veins logged at Dunn’s North and gold,
copper and notably high molybdenum grades at Dunn’s South. A review of
these prospects, and adjacent open prospects, is ongoing.”

Trundle drilling
Kincora’s new phase of drilling at the Trundle project commenced in January 1, and is testing 5
adjacent systems and separate large-scale porphyry targets across an existing 3.2km
mineralised strike – see Figure 1.
Assay results have been returned for Kincora’s first holes at the Dunn’s North and Dunn’s South
prospects, located 640m metres apart. These assays have confirmed significant zones of
potentially ore grade porphyry mineralisation at shallow depths – see Tables 1 and 2. Petrology
and fertility analysis is pending with a review commenced of these prospects, and adjacent open
prospects, for follow up exploration.
While assay results are pending for the first hole drilled at the Botfield prospect, notable zones
of visible mineralisation have been prioritized. These include a zone of coarse chalcopyritebornite-pyrite epithermal veins, as well as massive and banded magnetite pyrite-chalcopyrite
skarn horizons.
A step out hole from previous shallow intrusive mineralisation at the North-East Gold Zone is
in progress, with a priority follow up hole at the Botfield prospect then planned.
Botfield prospect
Kincora’s first hole at the Botfield prospect, TRDD037, sought to test for the first time a large
magnetic high complex coincident with shallow anomalous copper-gold and an IP chargeability
high anomaly.
The concept Kincora sought to test was of a large untested skarn and/or porphyry complex,
potentially associated with the emerging Southern Extension Zone (SEZ) discovery. This
discovery was made by Kincora in the past 18 months to the west, and the southern extension of
the multiple phase intrusive complexes intersected by Kincora and previous explorer drilling.
While assay results are pending, notable zones of visible mineralisation have been prioritized
and include:
•
Coarse banded chalcopyrite-bornite-pyrite epithermal veins (from 128-132m)
•
Massive magnetite-pyrite-chalcopyrite skarn (>80% magnetite, from 376-407m)
•
Banded magnetite-pyroxene-feldspar skarn with pyrite and chalcopyrite (<30%
magnetite from 407-425m)
Hole TRDD037 supports the current working interpretation that the Botfield prospect is
located in an uplifted block, in the order of almost 500m, to the immediately adjacent SEZ
prospect across an interpreted significant N-S fault zone – see Figures 1 and 2.
The relatively shallow chalcopyrite-bornite-pyrite epithermal veins are new to the project, and
support vectors to a more proximal and prospective level in porphyry system - see Photo 1 (a).
Hole TRDD037 intersected over 30 metres of massive magnetite skarn from only 330 metres
vertical depth (see Photo 1 (b)) compared to an interpreted equivalent horizon of 34 metres
from 710 metres vertical depth in TRDD032, located 430 metres to the west, with similar
stratigraphic horizons above and below these zones.

The geophysical inversions and targets for TRDD037 correlate well with visual logging and
current interpretations of the returned diamond core, benefiting from the relatively shallow
depths and width of the massive magnetic zone and associated sulphides.
The Botfield prospect has been prioritised for follow up. Planned hole TRDD039 will step out a
further 250 metres to the east testing the up-dip coincident magnetic and induced polarisation
(IP) chargeability anomaly cores, and at potentially open-pitable depths.
Assay results from completed hole TRDD037, and planned TRDD039, will assist in
determining the next phases of drilling at the Botfield and SEZ prospects.
As announced in December 20222, Kincora has been awarded a drilling grant from the latest
New Frontiers Exploration program by the New South Wales State Government to follow up the
intersected 34m @ 1.45 g/t gold and 0.25% copper in skarn, including an interpreted porphyry
vein that drove 2m at 19.9 g/t gold and 2.43% copper (hole TRDD032) within the SEZ 3.

chalcopyrite based on visual estimates and with insert photo @ 377.3m hosting visual estimates of 0.2%
pyrite and <0.1% chalcopyrite (377-378m).
Photos are of selected intervals which are not representative of the mineralization hosted on the whole
property or the Trundle Park prospect, which the Botfield and Southern Extension Zones are hosted, but
are of the alteration and lithology’s intersected in the mineralized zones in these sections of diamond drill
hole TRDD037.
There is insufficient drilling data to date to demonstrate continuity of mineralized domains and
determine the relationship between mineralization widths and intercept lengths, true widths are not
known.
In relation to the disclosure of visual results and estimates, the Company cautions that
visual results and estimates should not be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory
analysis, which are required to determine the widths and grade of the mineralisation.
Kincora has prioritised the processing and assay results for the intervals presented in Photo 1, which are
anticipated to be to hand and reported next month.

Dunn’s North prospect
Kincora’s first hole at the Dunn’s North prospect, TRDD035, sought to test for the first time the
down dip potential of previous shallow air-core drilling that had failed to test an IP chargeable
high anomaly co-incident with the shoulder of a significant NE-SW trending magnetic anomaly.
Hole TRDD035 confirmed a near surface intrusive complex, intersected early porphyry style
quartz veins (A-type) cutting both diorite(s) and wall-rock volcaniclastic sediments proximal to
intrusive bodies intersected towards the top of the hole, and, the presence of early quartzchalcopyrite and quartz-magnetite-chalcopyrite veins at depth.
Encouraging previous gold grades in previous hole PPT08, including 10m at 1.99 g/t gold and
0.12% Cu from 36m, were repeated including 12.5m @ 2.77g/t gold from 77.5m, including 2m
@ 14.2g/t gold, within a near surface gold mineralised diorite-monzodiorite intrusive complex
(i.e., from 0m - 136m downhole).
Sulphides returned in the intrusive complex, coupled with the subsequently intersected
magnetic andesite volcaniclastic sandstone sequence with interbedded lava follows, towards the
west, are interpreted to have explained the respective IP and magnetic anomalies.

Dunn’s South prospect
Kincora’s first hole at the Dunn’s South prospect, TRDD036, sought to test for the first time a
significant magnetic anomaly, follow up previous broad lower grade mineralisation from
surface and test the up-dip potential a previously intersected felsic intrusions with quartzcarbonate-pyrite veins with chalcopyrite and bornite.

Email: enquiries@kincoracopper.com
Hole TRDD036 also confirmed a near surface intrusive complex, intersecting sulphide bearing
quartz veins with encouraging gold and copper grades within the intrusions (eg 44.39m @
0.36g/t gold, 0.19% copper and 41ppm molybdenum from only 52.5m), and zones with high
molybdenum grades (up to 721ppm) associated with intrusions suggesting a proximal setting to
a magmatic source.
Highly magnetic hornfels volcanic sandstones intersected subsequent to the intrusive complex
towards the west is interpreted to explain the magnetic anomaly.
The Dunn’s North and South prospects are located 640m apart with encouraging but relatively
limited deeper drill hole coverage and are with mineralisation starting from or near surface.
Intersecting porphyry style and potential ore grade mineralisation at shallow depths in holes
TRDD035 and TRDD036, associated with multiple intrusive phases provides encouragement.
Fertility and petrology analysis is ongoing, with a review commenced considering the potential
of further drilling towards the east and along strike towards the north and south (open target
areas).

Neighbouring explorer drilling
Kincora estimates the Trundle project holds a quarter of the Northparkes Igneous Complex,
which to the east hosts Australia’s second largest porphyry mine Northparkes – owned by
China Molybdenum Co., Ltd (CMOC) (80%) and the Sumitomo Group (20%) – and a 24Moz
gold equivalent endowment 4.
Kincora notes two neighbouring explorers currently drilling at the western and southern
extensions of the Trundle project.

Kincora Copper Limited – NSW drilling program
Following extensive technical reviews, the Company’s ongoing drilling program in NSW will seek to drill test 13 new copper-gold
discovery opportunities across 5 projects.
In January 2023, drilling commenced at the flagship and brownfield Trundle project seeking to test 5 adjacent system and separate
large-scale porphyry targets across an existing 3.2km mineralised strike and magnetic complex at the southern portion of the
Trundle license.
Trundle project background
The Trundle project is located in the Junee-Narromine volcanic belt of the Macquarie Arc, less than 30km from the mill at the
Northparkes mines in a brownfield setting within the westerly rift separated part of the Northparkes Igneous Complex (“NIC”). The
NIC hosts a mineral endowment of approximately 24Moz AuEq (at 0.6% Cu and 0.2g/t Au) and is Australia’s second largest
porphyry mine comprising of 22 intrusive porphyry discoveries, 9 of which with positive economics.
The Trundle project includes one single license covering 167km2 and was secured by Kincora in the March 2020 agreement with
RareX Limited (“REE” on the ASX). Kincora is the operator, holds a 65% interest in the Trundle Project and is the sole funder until
a positive scoping study is delivered at which time a fund or dilute joint venture will be formed.
