RareX Limited (ASX: REE – RareX or the Company) is pleased to announce that Kincora Copper Limited (ASX &
TSXV: KCC, Kincora) has today formally completed its previously announced acquisition of RareX’s minority and
carried interest in various NSW copper projects (see ASX Announcement 31 July 2023).
As part of the transaction, Mr Jeremy Robinson, founder and chair of RareX, has joined the Kincora’s board as a
non-executive director.
RareX CEO, James Durrant, said: “This strategic transaction provides Kincora with 100% ownership of its NSW
copper portfolio, providing Kincora with the opportunity to now secure asset-level JV partners to develop its exciting
copper assets. In return, RareX gains a significant shareholding in Kincora and continued involvement via a board
seat. We look forward to our continued involvement with Kincora as they progress the development of this exciting
asset portfolio.”
Kincora Chairman, Cameron McRae, commented: “Completion of the acquisition with RareX results in Kincora
holding a 100% interest in a highly prospective and district scale project portfolio in NSW. This transaction supports
a pivot in funding strategy seeking dilution at the project rather than solely at the listed company level as has been in
the past. Completion of the RareX acquisition is expected to be a major catalyst for ongoing discussions and
negotiations for the NSW projects.
“I formally welcome Jeremy to the board and acknowledge his already significant inputs to the Kincora team on a
number of value-adding initiatives. We look forward to leveraging Jeremy’s commercial experience and value-added
focus.”

About RareX Limited – ASX: REE
RareX Limited (ASX: REE), a Perth based project development and exploration Company, was founded on the
fundamental belief of the electronics revolution and the electric vehicle mega-trend. Our focus is rare earths
and associated battery and electronic metals.
Cummins Range, in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia, is our flagship project which aims to
produce a sustainable, ethical, transparent and secure low carbon rare earth and phosphate supply chain
solution for its products which satisfy the two global mega-trends of population growth and electrification.
RareX maintains exploration upside programs in the immediate vicinity of the Cummins Range Project and also
more broadly to identify targets and progress projects complementary to the founding beliefs and expertise of
the core team.

Phosphate is the feedstock for the emerging dominant battery technology; lithium-ferro-phosphate (LFP). The
global LFP battery market is projected to grow from $10 billion in 2021 to $50 billion by 2028 as more EVs
adopt the safer and longer life technology and grid stabilization batteries expand to balance intermittent
renewable generation.
