September 2019The most active listed junior seeking to make the next Tier 1 discovery in Mongolia.”
Investment opportunity
§ Drilling: Multiple phase, multiple project, extensive drilling program in
2019/2020 targeting new porphyry discovery(s)
§ Pipeline: First modern systematic district scale exploration in the highly
mineralized but vastly underexplored Southern Gobi copper belt
§ Project Generation: Foremost foreign group pursuing new opportunities in
Mongolia
§ Team: Exceptional track record of Tier 1 discoveries, know Mongolia and
have “skin in the game” equity ownership
§ Strong Backing: Sophisticated and consolidated shareholder register § Funded: $6.25m offering in June 2019 supports up to 12-month budget

Foremost foreign group pursuing counter-cyclical expansion opportunities in Mongolia.”
Why Kincora?
§ Strategy and technical merits validated by oversubscribed capital raising § Team with exceptional Tier 1 discovery track record § Strong & aligned shareholder register, board & management § First modern systematic exploration across a district scale portfolio now advanced to first
“Target testing” (drilling for discovery) programs§ Value catalysts: 5 independent drill targets at 2 mineralized & large scale projects – Each target success: offering likely 10x+ re-rating – first significant new copper discovery(s) globally since 2014 – Drilling 2 high grade targets at western zone and strike of West Kasulu (Bronze Fox) – Success: confirm high-grade zones & rapidly expand existing large scale
independent exploration target (seek maiden resource & mining license)– Drilling 3 confirmed “brownfield” Tier 1 scale targets (East Tsagaan Suvarga) – Success: support concept for series of preserved high grade orebody(s) per Hugo/
Heruga orebodies within Oyu Tolgoi mineralized system– Foremost foreign group pursuing countercyclical expansion opportunities in Mongolia – Success: leveraging our exploration approach via attractive new projects
