HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Black Spade Capital Limited (“Black Spade”) recommends that family offices place stronger emphasis on mainstream digital assets, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics-related funds, stocks or ETFs, as these three sectors are poised to become the core drivers of future economic growth. With the deepening of digitalization and intelligent technologies, traditional industries that integrate these emerging innovations can not only significantly boost productivity but also greatly enhance operational efficiency —helping businesses maintain a competitive edge in an increasingly fierce market.Recently, Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade attended a private meeting with renowned investor Ms. Catherine Wood, CEO and CIO of Ark Invest to explore cutting-edge trends within her investment portfolio. Ms. Wood has made forward-looking investments in areas such as AI, robotics, blockchain applications, energy storage, and cellular sequencing. Companies in these sectors are seen as having tremendous growth potential and represent key opportunities within the wave of technological advancement. Funds under her management are widely regarded as crucial investment portfolio for capturing the upside that innovation brings.Mr. Tam remarked that family offices should adjust their asset allocations based on their own risk tolerance level and make room for stocks or ETFs in these emerging industries which not only support their development but also to pursue higher returns. Ms. Wood also forecasted that by around 2030, the value of Bitcoin could reach USD1.5 million while Ethereum might rise to USD166,000 — reflecting her strong confidence in the future growth of cryptocurrencies. Mr. Tam believes that digital assets will gradually become a widely accepted new asset class and enter mainstream financial markets. Currently, although only less than 5% of investors have deep knowledge of this field, an increasing number of banks and government investment institutions are actively embracing the trend, creating strong market momentum.In summary, Black Spade Capital believes that family offices should act fast under the backdrop of changing times and proactively invest in funds, stocks and ETFs related to mainstream digital assets, AI, and robotics. In addition to driving future economic and technological development, these three sectors will also serve as key pillars for enhancing efficiency and competitiveness in traditional industries. Through scientific and rational asset allocation, family offices can not only improve investment returns but also participate in the next wave of the technological revolution.Photo caption: From the left: Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade and Ms. Catherine Wood, CEO and CIO of Ark InvestAbout Black Spade Capital Limited Black Spade Capital Limited is an established family office that manages the private investments of Mr. Lawrence Ho.

SHANGHAI, Aug 28, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hua Medicine (the “Company”, HKEx: 2552) announced the unaudited consolidated results of the Company and its subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (the “Reporting Period”), as well as the Company's business progress during the first half of the year and future outlook. During the Reporting Period, the commercialization of the Company's core product, HuaTangNing (dorzagliatin tablets), accelerated. The Company’s independent operational capabilities improved significantly. R&D progress advanced smoothly and the Company’s financial performance achieved breakthrough growth, laying a solid foundation for long-term sustainable development.Sales of HuaTangNing increased by 108% year-on-year, with net sales increasing by 112% year-on-year. Reimbursement coverage continued to expand, with a significant increase in prescription volumes across Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospitals, as our comprehensive commercialization strategy achieved significant results.Following the termination of the exclusive promotion service agreement with Bayer, the Company recognized a one-time release of previously deferred income of RMB 1,243.5 million, achieving a profit of RMB 1,183.9 million for the first half of the year. This is the Company's first profit during the performance period.A real-world study (BLOOM) involving 80 centers and 2,000 patients with Type 2 diabetes conducted in China further demonstrated the broad applicability and safety of dorzagliatin.A registration application has been submitted in Hong Kong for Dorzagliatin 75mg (brand name: MYHOMSIS®), aiming to extend its presence across Greater China and Southeast Asia.Gross profit margin improved significantly, as production scale and operational efficiency continued to be optimized.“The first half of 2025 was a critical stage in Hua Medicine’s transformation and development. Following the full takeover of the commercialization of HuaTangNing, the Company achieved double-digit growth in sales and revenue through its independently established sales team, thereby validating the effectiveness of the new business model. We have also submitted a new drug application in Hong Kong, China, laying the foundation for dorzagliatin to expand from China to Southeast Asia and the global market,” said Dr. Li Chen, founder and CEO of Hua Medicin “Dorzagliatin has continued to demonstrate broad therapeutic potential in real-world studies, and new evidence has been found in basic research regarding diabetes remission, cognitive improvement, lipid improvement, and muscle gain, further consolidating Hua Medicine’s global leadership in GKA research and development and treatment. In the future, Hua Medicine will continue to focus on diabetes and the entire field of metabolic diseases, driving innovation through research and development and market expansion to bring the benefits of China's original innovative drugs to more patients worldwide.” Business Highlights and Operational ProgressCommercialization transformation achieved remarkable results, with doubling of sales and profits.Effective from January 1, 2025, the Company terminated its exclusive promotion service agreement with Bayer and fully took over the commercialization of HuaTangNing (å''å ‚å®'®) in China. During the Reporting Period, with unit prices remaining consistent with the same period in 2024, sales of HuaTangNing reached 1,764,000 packs, a year-on-year increase of 108%. Net sales reached RMB217.4 million, a year-on-year increase of 112%. Leveraging strong commercial execution and continuously improving operational efficiency, the Company is moving toward profitability. Hua Medicine has successfully transitioned to a fully independent commercialization phase, confirming growing market demand and the efficient execution capabilities of its independent sales team.Sales of HuaTangNing continued to benefit from its inclusion in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL), which took effect in January 2024. Reimbursement coverage under the NRDL has significantly increased accessibility, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospitals, and played a critical role in accelerating patient adoption.Due to expanded production scale and improved cost efficiency, the Company's gross profit margin increased to 54.2%, higher than 46.5% in the same period last year.With sales revenue growing 112% year-on-year, the Company's sales expenses during the Reporting Period were RMB64.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, growing only 5% compared to the same period last year. The composition of our selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 changed significantly from the same period in 2024 due to the Company incurring selling expenses directly as a result of assuming sole commercialization responsibilities for HuaTangNing in China, while no longer owing promotion expenses to the former commercialization partner. These figures also reflect a significant positive trend towards profitability and demonstrate our business strategy of optimizing profitability by controlling commercialization sales expenses of HuaTangNing and maximizing production efficiency, where our selling expenses in the first half of 2025 represent approximately 29.5% of total revenue whereas in the first half of 2024, our selling expenses represented approximately 59.5% of total revenue. After terminating the exclusive promotion service agreement with Bayer, the Company recognized a one-time release of previously deferred income of RMB1,243.5 million and transitioned to self-driven growth. Hua Medicine achieved a pre-tax profit of RMB 1,183.9 million for the first half of the year, marking a key milestone of Hua Medicine towards sustainable profitability.As of June 30, 2025, the cash balance was RMB1,022.8 million, laying a solid foundation for the Company's future R&D and commercialization initiatives.Clinical research continues to deepen, with new evidence supporting treatment potentialHua Medicine is conducting multiple post-marketing studies to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of dorzagliatin across diverse patient populations, both in monotherapy as well as in combination with other popular approved anti-diabetic drugs, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, insulin, DPP-IV inhibitors and SGLT-2 inhibitors. These studies are generating new clinical insights into glucose control, cognitive outcomes, and potential for diabetes remission.A real-world study (BLOOM) is being conducted in 2,000 patients with Type 2 diabetes across 80 centers in China. BLOOM has already completed one-year follow-up in over 1,000 participants. In the real-world setting, BLOOM further demonstrates the broad applicability and safety of dorzagliatin. Patients receiving dorzagliatin in routine clinical practice present with a heterogeneous mix of comorbidities, including various cardiovascular and renal disorders and are managed with multiple concomitant medications. In addition to metformin, more than 60% of patients concurrently used SGLT-2 inhibitors, insulin, GLP-1 receptor agonists, or DPP-IV inhibitors and other anti-diabetic drugs with dorzagliatin. In monotherapy or in combination with the popular above-mentioned anti-diabetic drugs, dorzagliatin was generally well tolerated, and its safety profile remained consistent with previously established data.Hua Medicine presented new data at the 2025 American Diabetes Association (ADA) conference, reinforcing dorzagliatin’s potential as a disease-modifying therapy. Insights into the novel mechanism of action (MOA) of dorzagliatin as a therapeutic GKA were published in Diabetes.Research and Development Pipeline and Future OutlookThe company filed its application for registration of dorzagliatin 75mg in Hong Kong as MYHOMSIS®, aiming to extend its presence across Greater China and southeast Asia.We are continuing expansion on our product pipeline through development of fixed dose combination of metformin and dorzagliatin for patients who have failed to control blood glucose levels while using high dose metformin (daily dose>1500 mg). In the loose dose combination study-DAWN Trial, dorzagliatin add-on to metformin provided HbA1c reduction of greater than 1% and post meal glucose reduction of greater than 5 mmol/L. These desirable glycemic control levels coupled with a very safe 0.8% hypoglycemic rate would suggest strong potential demand for a branded oral anti-diabetic medication using a convenient fixed dose combination of dorzagliatin and metformin. The Pre-IND submission has been achieved in August 2025, and we are expected to initiate the bioequivalence study in early 2026.We are also advancing the combination of dorzagliatin with GLP-1RA, SGLT-2 inhibitors, insulin and DPP-IV inhibitors through combined effects in collecting real world evidence and proof of concept studies in animal models. The synergy between dorzagliatin with these agents has the potential to expand our indications into other diseases in metabolic disorders, such as obesity and MASH.We continue to enhance our collaborations with leading international research institutions. A Phase I investigator-initiated trial supported by the Group and conducted at the University of Pennsylvania – designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dorzagliatin in patients with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) – has received clearance from the U.S. FDA.We will continue our engagement in diabetes prevention, opportunities in metabolic disorder related neurodegeneration disease and eventually find a new way to increase healthy life span and longevity in humans.We continue to invest in digital technology platforms to create synergies across functions and enhance branding opportunities using AI technology.As illustrated in our product pipeline chart, we will continue to advance our R&D efforts for both dorzagliatin and our 2nd generation GKA on our own as well as in collaboration with academic and strategic partners. We are working on the registration of dorzagliatin in Hong Kong and continue to seek partnerships in Southeast Asia and Belt and Road nations. In addition, we will continue our business development efforts on our 2nd generation GKA for the global markets based on the initial success of the Phase 1 single-ascending dose study in the United States and the initiation of our Phase 1 multiple ascending dose study planned for late 2025 or early 2026.Financial SummaryAs of June 30, 2025- Bank balances and cash amounted to approximately RMB 1,022.8 million.- Total revenue was approximately RMB217.4 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 112%.

CIMC TianDa provided automated delivery and sorting systems to customers in the e-commerce express delivery industry, while actively expanding into diversified niche areas such as pharmaceuticals and textiles. Leveraging the product advantage of cost reduction and efficiency improvement, new orders grew steadily.II. In the Energy Industries FieldIn the energy, chemical, and liquid food equipment business, this segment achieved revenue of RMB13.009 billion (same period last year: RMB12.121 billion), an increase of 7.32% YoY; net profit was RMB460 million (same period last year: RMB242 million), an increase of 90.26% YoY. Among these, CIMC Enric achieved revenue of RMB12.610 billion (same period last year: RMB11.480 billion), a YoY increase of 9.9%; net profit attributable to the Company was RMB560 million (same period last year: RMB490 million), a significant YoY increase of 15.6%; newly signed orders amounted to RMB10.740 billion, and the order backlog as of the end of June was RMB29.180 billion. Specifically, the clean energy segment's revenue grew steadily; demand for LNG refueling stations, LNG tankers, and related equipment continued to increase; the Linggang-CIMC project was successfully constructed and delivered; in the offshore clean energy sector, 9 vessels were delivered, 7 newbuilds were signed, and multiple orders for LNG and methanol power packages were secured; in the hydrogen business, bids were won for several green hydrogen ammonia projects domestically and internationally, and multiple orders were delivered to European customers during the Reporting Period; the chemical and environment segment saw a slowdown in demand for tank containers, while the medical equipment components business grew steadily and the after-market business progressed; the liquid food segment’s net profit increased YoY; the new plant in Mexico was fully operational during the Reporting Period, and the first large-scale storage tank project was secured.In the offshore engineering business, in 1H 2025, crude oil prices experienced significant volatility due to uncertainties in U.S. trade policies and geopolitical tensions stemming from the Iran-Israel and Russia-Ukraine conflicts. However, as existing oil fields gradually deplete, the demand for new oil and gas resources is becoming increasingly urgent. The economic value of deep-sea oil and gas development continues to grow, and offshore deep-sea oil and gas production continues to increase. In particular, large-scale floating production equipment, centered around FPSO/FLNG, remains in high demand. During the Reporting Period, the Group’s offshore engineering business recorded revenue of RMB8014 million (same period last year: RMB7784 million), a YoY increase of 2.95%; the gross profit margin increased by 5.85 percentage points YoY to 10.84%; net profit was RMB281 million (same period last year: net loss of RMB84 million), turning a loss into a profit YoY. Among these, the core operating entity, Yantai CIMC Raffles Marine Technology Group Co., Ltd., achieved a net profit of RMB525 million, and the net profit margin increased to 6.56%. As of the end of June, orders newly signed/won amounted to USD 106 million (same period last year: USD 1,790 million), primarily affected by delayed order finalizations. The cumulative order backlog was USD5,550 million. Among these, the proportion of oil and gas orders and non-oil and gas orders was approximately 7:3, effectively easing the periodic fluctuation of the oil and gas market.In the offshore engineering asset operation business, affected by factors such as the impact of U.S. “reciprocal tariffs” on global demand expectations, the greater-than-expected production increase by “OPEC+”, and the unwinding of geopolitical risk premiums, international oil companies shifted their strategic focus back to their core oil and gas business and became more prudent with their investment in low-carbon transformation. The global utilization rate of jack-up platforms declined significantly, and daily rates were under downward pressure. For mid-deepwater semi-submersible platforms, demand for projects in the North Sea and Barents Sea remained stable, while issues related to European energy security supported a steady rise in both utilization rates and daily rates. For ultra-deepwater semi-submersible platforms, certain deepwater development projects were delayed due to adjustments in investment priorities, resulting in a slight decline in the utilization rate compared to the beginning of the year. During the Reporting Period, the Group’s mid-deepwater semi-submersible platform “Deepsea Yantai” secured a new lease agreement with a Norwegian oil company; the ultra-deepwater semi-submersible drilling platform “Blue Whale No. 1” signed a new lease agreement with an international client.Future Development and ProspectsThe Group's Management stated: "CIMC will base itself on the new development stage, closely follow national policy guidance, deepen the implementation of the strategic theme of ‘accelerating the construction of new growth drivers and focusing on promoting high-quality development’, coordinate the reasonable growth of ‘quantity’ and the effective improvement of ‘quality’, and strive to ‘become a high-quality and respected world-class enterprise’."I. In the Logistics FieldIn the container manufacturing business, according to the report issued by CLARKSONS in June 2025, global container trade volume is expected to see a growth of 2.5% in 2025. The uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariff policies will continue to fuel concerns about global economic growth, which in turn will impact the demand for containers in the global container shipping market in the short term. However, owing to the demand for spare containers brought about by these uncertain events in the container transportation market and the stable replacement rate of old containers, the demand for new containers is still expected to be underpinned by stable fundamentals in 2025.In the road transportation vehicles business, as tariff policies and the results of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations finalize, coupled with the traditional peak season in the third quarter, the North American semi-trailer business is expected to see a weak recovery; the European semi-trailer business will maintain its resilience amid a “weak recovery” market environment. In 2H 2025, CIMC Vehicles will evolve its “intercontinental operation” into a “borderless enterprise” model, continue to strengthen its strategic presence in Southeast Asia and Africa, and establish regional business groups for the Global South market; domestically, it will continue to focus on new energy, accelerate its transformation to become a “full-value-chain” operator of StarLink semi-trailers, and further increase its market share.II. In the Energy Industries FieldIn the energy, chemical, and liquid food equipment business, shell expects that both demand for and supply of LNG will continue to grow after 2030, with the market share of LNG in total global natural gas demand rising from approximately 14% in 2024 to approximately 25% by 2050, particularly in the Asian market. The International Energy Agency (IEA)’s “Gas Market Report Q3-2025” predicts that global natural gas consumption will reach a record high in 2026, with natural gas demand in Asia in particular projected to grow by over 4% and LNG imports expected to increase by approximately 10%. CIMC Enric will continue to advance the replication and implementation of strategic clean alternative fuel projects, such as coke oven gas to hydrogen co-production LNG and biomass-based green methanol, to cultivate new performance growth points.In the offshore engineering business: The FPSO market shows a high certainty of demand in the short term, underpinned by a substantial reserve of long-term projects. Market demand is forecast to remain robust over the next five years, with major projects centered in South America and Africa and main builders in China and Singapore. In the second half of the year, the Group’s offshore engineering business will firmly advance its strategic vision, concentrating on its established product lines to consolidate competitive advantages and amplify its successes. The three major business lines will continue to break new ground, with offshore oil and gas as the foundation, gradually expanding to new energy sources to form a business portfolio that dilutes the impacts of the industrial cycle.III. In the Finance and Asset Management FieldIn the offshore engineering asset operation and management business of CIMC, in 2H 2025, oil prices are expected to remain volatile and under pressure, influenced by ongoing tariff fluctuations, adjustments in “OPEC+” policies, and geopolitical uncertainties, as forecast by numerous institutions and investment banks. Global oil and gas investment is projected to reflect structural shifts as “increased deepwater investment, diminished shale and counter-cyclical in national oil companies”. Daily rates for mid-to-deepwater offshore drilling platforms are anticipated to remain stable. The Group will adhere to an operating strategy of “maintaining stable operations, promoting asset turnover and expanding market reach”, ensuring the safe and smooth operation of leased assets while proactively securing lease renewals, accelerating the disposal of jack-up and accommodation platform assets, and advancing the marketing of mid-to-deepwater and ultra-deepwater platforms to consolidate its leading position in the global offshore engineering market.About China International Marine Containers (Group) Co., Ltd.The CIMC Group is a world-leading equipment and solution provider in the logistics and energy industries, and its industry cluster mainly covers logistics and energy fields, strengthening its position as a global market leader.

Melbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - August 26, 2025) - Copper-gold explorer and hybrid project generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on positive drilling results from ongoing exploration programs at two projects in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB). These projects are located in the undercover extension of the Macquarie Arc in NSW and being conducted under earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (AngloGold Ashanti).HIGHLIGHTSA successful first drilling program at the Nyngan project has identified multiple Macquarie Arc composite volcano-intrusive complexes:Encouraging geology and anomalous assay results support porphyry copper and epithermal gold potential.Targets resulting from the 1Q'2025 ground gravity survey returned encouraging results, at particularly shallow depths, significantly expanding future search spaces.A continuation of further scout drilling and/or a Stage 2 step out phase is proposed.Drilling is ongoing at the highly prospective Nevertire South and Nevertire projects:The first drilling program at the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) since Kincora consolidated the tenement ownership supporting a >8km untested strike.Initial observations reaffirm Kincora's view that the NMC is the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project in the covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc.Initial seven-hole program ongoing and scheduled for ~2,150 metres.Planning has already commenced for follow up geophysical surveys given encouraging initial results and scale of the existing system ahead of potential follow up drilling.Kincora is managing the programs and receives a management fee based on 10% of expenditure.The Nyngan, Nevertire South and Nevertire projects are included in two earn-in and joint ventures with AngloGold Ashanti who has the right to spend up to A$100 million across a total of five projects covering a continuous strike greater than a 100kms within Kincora's NJNB portfolio.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, said:"While early days in our first drilling program at the Nevertire South project we are very excited by the large, multi-phase Macquarie Arc volcanic and intrusive complex we are intersecting - we are in what looks to be a very large, mineralised and very prospective system with the right geological signs. Large scale step-out drilling is ongoing and designed to discover or create a vectoring pattern to a targeted porphyry deposit. We have already seen enough to be planning near term geophysical programs to help guide and refine a high priority next phase of drilling.It is also worth noting that the conclusion of the first phase of scout drilling at the Nyngan project was particularly successful at testing new targets that emerged from the gravity survey only undertaken in the first quarter this year. Several new mineralised multi-phase volcano-intrusive complexes were intersected at shallow depths, significantly expanding the near-term search space, particularly across the wider Gerar target area. Follow up exploration is planned and will be refined upon receipt of all pending drilling results.Finally, it is also particularly pleasing to see Waratah Resource's new gold discovery at its Spur porphyry project and the significant interest this has attracted - congratulations to Peter Duerden and his team. It is a great reminder of the geological potential of the Macquarie Arc and the results that testing new geological concepts in new search spaces can yield."NEVERTIRE AND NEVERTIRE SOUTH PROJECTS Following the April 2025 amended and second earn-in agreement with AngloGold Ashanti 1, drilling plans were expanded for a first phase program at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South projects with unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC).The ongoing seven-hole program includes both large scale step out and scout targets designed to discover or create a vectoring pattern to a targeted porphyry deposit. This program seeks to effectively test part of a greater than 8km northern strike of the NMC, following up from prior favorable drill results of Newcrest Mining.Newcrest holes ACDNY005 and ACDNY006 were drilled ~2.7km apart and returned "lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 2. Hole ACDNY006 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 and hole ACDNY005 returned very favorable alteration, a Phase 4 Macquarie Arc age date and up to 0.53 g/t gold.Three of an initial seven planned holes have been completed by Kincora, with step-outs ranging from 600m to 1,200m away from prior Newcrest holes ACDNY005 and ACDNY006. Drilling commenced from the south within the confirmed Macquarie Arc domain and is progressing towards the north - see Figures 2 & 3. Initial observations from these holes reaffirm the Company's view that the central and northern portions of the NMC are the most geologically prospective porphyry project in the covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc.The step-out holes have intersected multiple porphyritic intrusive phases beneath a moderate thickness of post mineral cover. Lithologies intersected include monzonite, diorite, and crowded pyroxene-hornblende andesites. Favorable alteration is noted with intervals of strong chlorite ± magnetite ± epidote ± sericite ± hematite ± K-feldspar and disseminated and vein-hosted pyrite ± chalcopyrite is present in multiple zones ± localised bornite. Late-stage chalcedonic and tourmaline-bearing veins suggest potential for a telescoped hydrothermal overprint.The program uses cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the relatively soft post mineral cover sequence followed by diamond core drilling (NQ3) of porphyry-prospective basement. This technique was successfully used in the first phase program at the Nyngan project.While assay and other sampling technique results are pending, planning has already commenced for follow up geophysical surveys given the encouraging initial observations. A follow up drill program will be assessed once all assay results are received.NYNGAN PROJECTInitial scout drilling activities at the Nyngan project commenced in calendar 4Q'2024 in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti under the May 2024 earn-in agreement 4. A total of nineteen wide-spaced scout holes for 7,345.4 metres were completed and confirmed multiple newly identified interpreted Macquarie Arc composite volcanic and intrusive complexes.All holes to date have provided samples of basement geology across separate magnetic complexes and key lithological domains hosted within two separate and previously untested Macquarie Arc magnetic complexes, the Ace of Spades and Gerar (formerly South-West) targets, which cover ~16 x 18km and ~7 x 17km, respectively - see Figures 2 & 4 below.Following encouraging results for the first six holes completed in 4Q'2024, the drilling program was expanded to provide greater coverage across the two wider target areas and a ground gravity survey was commissioned and completed in 1Q'2025 5. Most recent drilling across a wider search space and targets resulting from the gravity survey returned encouraging results, at particularly shallow depths, further significantly increasing the search space - see Figure 2 below.Shallower than anticipated cover, encouraging geology, alteration, anomalous copper and pathfinder minerals, and preserved structural blocks support porphyry and epithermal gold potential and provide vectors for follow up drilling at multiple targets - see Tables 1 & 2 below.A continuation of further scout drilling and/or a Stage 2 step out phase is proposed post receipt of full results and analysis with our partner AngloGold Ashanti. Several further potential scout holes have existing permits and land access offering walk up drill targets.Figure 1: Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti have partnered to explore a new district-scale undercover extension of the world-class Macquarie Arc via two earn-in and joint venture agreements and are currently aggressively drilling large greenfield targetsKincora is managing the earn-in programs with AngloGold Ashanti, receiving a 10% management fee of expenditures, covering a continuous 100km strike and 5 projectsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/263878_figure1.jpg Figure 2: Drilling has transitioned from an initial 19-hole scout drilling program at the Nyngan project to a step out drilling program at the Nevertire South and Nevertire projectsFurther potential step out drilling and a Phase 2 step out program at Nyngan are proposedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/263878_figure2.jpgFigure 3: A first phase drilling program under two separate earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti has commenced and will for the first time test the >8km northern strike of the Nevertire Magmatic Complex with unimpeded access for the first time from previous very favourable drilling results by Newcrest MiningThe ongoing program includes both large scale step out and scout targets designed to discover or create a vectoring pattern to a targeted porphyry deposit.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/263878_figure3.jpgFigure 4: 19 wide spaced scout holes have been completed in the first phase AngloGold Ashanti and Kincora program at the Nyngan projectThe scout holes to basement have taken samples of geology across separate magnetic complexes and key lithological domains hosted within two separate and previously untested Macquarie Arc volcano-intrusive complexes (the Ace of Spaces and the Gerar targets). A 1Q'2025 extensive ground gravity survey generated a number of new targets, four of which were drilled in 2Q'2025. Due to the very broad nature and extensive regional coverage of the current program Kincora has not provided sectional views of the current scout-drilling phase (as required under Clause 19 of the JORC Code). Such sections are anticipated upon commencement of a Phase 2 follow up step out phase of drilling.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/263878_figure4.jpg Table 1: Nyngan project: Summary of 2024-25 mud rotary-diamond tail drill holes (metres)HoleMud RotaryDiamond CoreEndof HoleInterpretedBasementBasementIntervalHighlightsNYDD002212.9240.7453.644013.6Confirmed Macquarie Arc age date.Rare chalcopyrite, bornite.NYDD003257.8168.6426.4257.8168.6Distal propylitic alteration & weak gold-copper anomaly.

The district has seen considerable exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 7 and an emerging gold discovery by Waratah Resources at the Spur project 8.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 which hosts a number of world-class deposits and mines (e.g. 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 (CSE: AUCU) ("Inflection", market capitalisation C$24.7 million) within the NJNB with over A$14 million investment to date 9. In 2Q'2025, AngloGold Ashanti 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) 10 and signed a major amendment with Kincora to include a second joint venture supporting a continuous strike greater than a 100kms and five projects.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 11. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded in four large-scale discoveries valued at over A$10 billion 12.Kincora was an early mover into the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt and has opportunistically pegged strategically important ground directly from the State resulting in 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 is included in earn-in and agreements with AngloGold Ashanti.ABOUT KINCORA Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused copper-gold explorer with a hybrid project generator strategy. The Company is now successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Macquarie Arc and Mongolia's Southern Gobi, two of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar superbasin in NSW.Kincora is using an asset level partner model to develop and implement exploration strategies for its wholly-owned large-scale exploration stage porphyry projects. The Company has already unlocked over $110 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects 13. These initial deals have supported over 13,500 metres of drilling and over A$6.5m of partner funded exploration since late 2024, with management fees and exploration ramping up 13.Partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship projects that are all situated within existing porphyry camps containing over 20-million-ounce gold equivalent resource inventory.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. This is in addition to the various other existing partnerships where Kincora is not the operator or receiving a management fee income stream.The Company has assembled an industry leading technical team who have made multiple world-class copper and gold discoveries, who have "skin in the game" equity ownership, and, backed by a consolidated and sophisticated shareholder register (insiders currently owning over 40% of the Company and represented on the Board).On July 7th, 2025, Kincora announced an oversubscribed C$4 million non-brokered private placement of units led by leading North American investors, including Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips, and their investor networks.The share units have a 12-month hold period and there is an accelerator on the warrants - both at the lead investors requests. This raising is concurrent with a corporate restructuring and share capital roll back.The roll back and placement terms provides Kincora the corporate structure to leverage the deals, partner funding and project results already in place and to unlock significant existing value. This is starting to be realized.The new capital provides the ability to accelerate more drilling, do more asset level deals, earn more management fees, and, ultimately, supporting the ambition of more (big) new discoveries. These multiple avenues all provide further material value catalysts for shareholders.Closing of the non-brokered private placement is anticipated shortly after the scheduled August 27th, Annual General and Special Shareholders meeting.The financing also supports Kincora pursuing a hybrid project generator model and undertaking drilling at our 100% owned Condobolin project. The Condobolin project hosts a historical mining field located within the Cobar superbasin and within trucking distance to an existing mill seeking third party ore. The Cobar superbasin has recently seen a number of significant new discoveries (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and significant corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion offer for MAC, Kingston Resources recently receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its Misima project etc). The project and regional profiles' support the Condobolin project being an asset that a junior explorer such as Kincora can add significant value too.By having a significant portfolio of partner funded large porphyry projects, and a very focused program on a 100% owned project, the Company is seeking to position Kincora as a leading institutional grade explorer in the public Australian and Canadian markets, and the leading project generator on the ASX.To learn more, please visit: www.kincoracopper.com.References:1 Kincora press release Apr 14, 2025, "Second Major Earn-in Secured with AngloGold Ashanti."2 Open file annual report for former EL6337 by Newcrest Mining 2008.3 September 2024 report by John Holliday,"Review of Old Newcrest Holes ACDNYs 5, 6 and 7 Drilled into Kincora's ELs Nevertire South and Nevertire." 4 Kincora press release May 28, 2024, "AngloGold Ashanti to earn-in to the NJNB Project."5 Kincora press release Feb 13, 2025, "Encouraging results expands Kincora Copper and AngloGold Ashanti's First Drilling Program."6 Ocean Blue Equities Oct 8, 2024 initiation research report on Waratah Minerals with the addition of Newmont's earn-in and joint venture agreements with Koonenberry Gold (ASX: KNB) for the:(a) Junee porphyry project (A$23.9m of expenditure to date, ex the Jan 2025 drilling with Koonenberry Gold carried until commercial production); and,(b) Fairholme porphyry project (Koonenberry carried until A$15m of exploration expenditure, with A$1.14m spent to date, ex the Jan 2025 drilling program).7 Public data, including the resource growth at the Cowal project since Evolution Mining's acquisition driven by the Dalwhinnie underground discovery and the discovery/resource growth of the Boda and Kaiser deposits by Alkane Resources.8 Waratah Minerals' Aug 4, 2025 release "Multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralisation extend Spur Gold Corridor".9 Includes AngloGold Ashanti funded exploration with Kincora and Inflection as at Dec 31, 2024, including Phase 1 and Phase 2 expenditures with Inflection (refer to the Mar 3, 2025 "MD&A" for the quarter ended Dec 2024) and Inflection Resources (ticker "AUCU.CSE") as at COB August 22nd, 2025.10 Inflection Resources' Mar 25, 2025 release "AngloGold Ashanti Designates Four Inflection Resources Projects for Phase II of Exploration Earn-in Agreement".11 Refer to NGEx Mineral's presentation July 2024 for further details.12 ">A$10 billion market value": includes values for Filo Corp & Josemaria based on the Jul 29, 2024 transaction values from Lundin Mining & BHP (see public market releases, "Lundin Mining and BHP to Acquire Filo and Form a 50/50 Joint Venture to Progress the Filo del Sol and Josemaria Projects") and May 30th, 2025 market capitalisation of NGEx Minerals.13 Over $110 million of potential partner funding for eight earlier stage and/or non-core projects via 6 deals and four partners, with over 13,500 metres of drilling and over A$6.5m of partner funded exploration since late 2024 includes:(a) The original up to A$50m earn-in & JV agreement with AngloGold Ashanti for the Nyngan & Nevertire projects and the amended agreement to include the Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Mulla projects including another up to A$50m earn-in & JV: refer May 28, 2024 release "AngloGold Ashanti to earn-in to the NJNB Project" and Apr 14, 2025, "Second Major Earn-in Secured with AngloGold Ashanti" (estimated budget approximately $4m, incl. 8,467m drilling, Kincora currently the project manager receiving a 10% fee of expenditure).

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) and Nervertire South Project (EL9710) 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.Current scout and step out drilling utilises mud-rotary to refusal followed by diamond coring methods by Ophir Drilling Pty Ltd (based in Orange) 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 2m.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 2024/25 drilling of nineteen holes from the Nyngan Project have been cut and submitted to Australian Laboratory Services Pty Ltd (ALS) in Orange, with assays returned for all holes. The initial holes from the Nevertire South are currently being logged and prepared for sampling and samples from one hole have been submitted to ALS for analysis.Multiple batches of core samples for petrological descriptions and confirmation of the lithologies, alteration assemblages, textures and paragenesis have being submitted where appropriate for drilling at Nyngan, such samples are proposed but pending for the ongoing drilling at Nevertire South (but noting certain such samples are available from prior explorer drilling at Nevertire South).Various quarter core samples have been submitted for U-Pb age dating of the zircon, titanite or apatite grains seeking to confirm Macquarie Arc date ranges for drilling at Nyngan, such samples are proposed but pending for the ongoing drilling at Nevertire South (but noting certain such samples are available from prior explorer drilling at Nevertire South).A suite of coherent (volcanic and intrusive) rocks have been chosen for lithogeochemistry with extensive fertility analysis undertaken, such samples are proposed but pending for the ongoing drilling at Nevertire South (but noting certain such samples are available from prior explorer drilling at Nevertire South).Select existing pulps maybe 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) with mutli-element assay results petrological, geochromology, fertility and amongst others depending on the returned geology and nature of exploration target.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 and Nevertire South 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. This technique is proving time and cost effective to gain initial samples of basement across separate magnetic complexes and key lithological domains.Historic drilling on other Kincora projects has 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 standardised processing of photography and 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 ICPMS.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, other than during quarterly reviews by AngloGold Ashanti, and, specialist consultants on an ad hoc basis.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 control.Data 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 scout drilling at then Nyngan and Nevertire projects are 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 Gerar (formerly South-West) and Ace of Spades targets.Data spacing at this stage is insufficient to establish the continuity required for sections or a Mineral Resource estimate.No sample compositing was applied to Kincora drilling.Kincora step out drilling at the Nevertire South project is currently very broad spaced - between 600m to 1200m.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 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. Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)CriteriaJORC Code explanationCommentaryMineral tenement and land tenure statusType, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.On May 28, 2024, Kincora announced a multi-phase Earn-In and Joint Venture Arrangement with a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti Plc for the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) Project, including EL8929.EL8929 (the Nyngan Project) is wholly owned by Kincora.On March 18, 2024, a three-year extension was granted to Kincora for EL8929 until January 2027.The licence is in good standing and there are no known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate.22 Assessable Prospecting Operation (APO) approvals for drilling are in place, enabling 22 drill holes with 15 holes having already been completed (rehabilitation reports submitted for 14). Currently one further new APO is pending.Land access agreements are in place to execute the proposed ongoing scout drilling programme.On April 14, Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti signed a major amendment to the existing earn-in and joint venture agreement for a second joint venture in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt including the Nyngan South (EL9708), Nevertire South (EL9710) and Mulla (EL9320) licenses.EL9710 (the Nevertire South Project) is wholly owned by Kincora.On October 23, 2024, Kincora was awarded Exploration License Application No 6780 and EL9710 was granted with a four-year term until October 2028.The licence is in good standing and there are no known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate.7 Assessable Prospecting Operation (APO) approvals for drilling are in place, enabling 7 drill holes.Land access agreements are in place to execute the proposed ongoing scout drilling programme.Exploration done by other partiesAcknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.All Kincora projects have had previous exploration work undertaken, albeit relatively limited prior drilling at the Nyngan Project and Nevertire South Project.The review and verification process for the information disclosed herein and of other parties for the Nyngan Project and Nevertire South has included the receipt of all material exploration data, results and sampling procedures of previous operators and review of such information by Kincora's geological staff using standard verification procedures. 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 and Nevertire South Project are 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 and Nevertire South are given in the body and Tables of this 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.For Kincora drilling at Nyngan and Nevertire South have followed these methods: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 and Nevertire South.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 noting that the current phase of drilling at Nyngan includes scout holes to basement geology across separate magnetic complexes and key lithological domains hosted within two separate and previously untested Macquarie Arc volcano-intrusive complexes (the Ace of Spaces and Gerar (the latter formerly known as the South-West target)).Due to the very board nature and extensive regional coverage of the program the Company has not provide sectional views of the current scout-drilling phase (as required under Clause 19 of the JORC Code). Such sections are anticipated upon commencement of a Phase 2 follow up step out phase of drilling.Section views are anticipated upon completion of the current step-out phase of drilling at the Nevertire South Project.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.No new assay results are yet available for drilling at Nevertire South.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 and Nevertire South. 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 Gerar 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. Existing and new APOs are in place for the current scout drilling phase - see Figures 2 & 3 above.Coupled with more detailed geoscientific studies, including petrology, lithogeochemistry and geochronology, the continuation of the scout drilling programme assist with specific vectoring and a proposed second phase follow-up diamond drilling programmes that are expected towards the end of 2025 after drilling at the Nevertire and Nevertire South projects.

Successful launch marks Focus Graphite's entry into real-world defense and aerospace applicationsOttawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - August 26, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian graphite developer advancing high-grade projects in Québec, is pleased to announce the successful launch of Pluto Aerospace's Dash 1 Flight 003 solid-fuel rocket, featuring nozzle components developed using graphite from Focus' Lac Knife project. The project was completed in collaboration with American Energy Technologies Company ("AETC"), Pluto Aerospace ("Pluto"), a Purdue Strategic Ventures portfolio company, with additional support from ACP Technologies ("ACP"). AETC utilized Lac Knife natural graphite and synthetic graphite to produce a near-net shape manufactured graphite nozzle, which was successfully integrated into the Dash 1 sounding hypersonic rocket.The launch took place on August 23, 2025, at 8:21 a.m. Pacific Time from the Mojave Desert test range, located between Edwards Air Force Base and NAWCWD China Lake in California. The rocket reached an altitude of more than 45,000 feet and achieved record-setting flight duration and range for Pluto Aerospace. The test program evaluated hypersonic performance and thermal resistivity, with nozzle temperatures exceeding 3,000°C. The rocket was built entirely with North American-sourced materials and components. Representatives from Pluto, AETC, Focus, ACP-T, and the United States government were in attendance for the launch. The launch marks the Company's first real-world, high-fidelity aerospace and defense application test and follows months of extensive process optimizations which led to this historic flight.Data collected from the launch will further validate the performance characteristics of Lac Knife graphite in high-temperature and high-stress hypersonic environments relevant to surface-to-air defense systems, and commercial rocketry alike. Focus anticipates continued participation in upcoming launches, including trials involving graphene-based coatings produced from Lac Knife graphite, designed for icephobic and radar-suppression applications on rocket fins. These developments are also transferable to unmanned air vehicle (UAV) drone technology, a growing area of interest for the Company."This is a landmark moment for Focus Graphite, and we are proud to see Lac Knife material play a role in such an important aerospace demonstration," said Jason Latkowcer, Vice President, Corporate Development. "We thank our partners at AETC and Pluto Aerospace for including us in this historic test. The results reaffirm that Lac Knife large and jumbo flake graphite possesses the qualities required for advanced, high-performance applications in defense and aerospace. With governments around the world increasing investments in national security - such as through NATO commitments and initiatives like the Golden Dome - Focus is positioning itself to play a critical role in supplying North American-sourced graphite for these strategic needs."This latest flight aligns with Pluto Aerospace's broader mission to make high-speed, hypersonic testing more accessible to small businesses and start-ups - a key advantage highlighted in recent coverage by the Purdue Research Foundation. The Dash platform provides rapid, cost-effective access to hypersonic test environments that typically require substantial budgets and lengthy pre-qualification timelines.As the demand for domestic manufacturing of advanced materials continues to grow, Focus Graphite remains committed to supporting onshoring initiatives and strengthening critical mineral supply chains essential to national security.Image 1: Pluto Aerospace's Dash 1 Flight 003 solid-fuel rocket featuring AETC's graphite nozzle manufactured with Lac Knife graphite.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/263912_85b592feb494f88b_001full.jpgImage 2: Launch of Pluto Aerospace's Dash 1 Flight 003 solid-fuel rocket on August 23, 2025.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1963/263912_85b592feb494f88b_002full.jpgAbout Pluto AerospacePluto is an Indiana based start-up building the fastest path from lab bench to hypersonic flight.

Revenue increased notably by 10.5% year-on-year from HK$1,822.5 million in 2024 to HK$2,014.2 million in 2025, driven by improved consumer sentiment in Mainland China and increased demand in overseas markets. Gross profit increased by 6.2% from HK$637.5 million in 2024 to HK$677.0 million in 2025. Gross profit margin decreased 1.4 percentage points to 33.6% in 2025, which was mainly attributable to higher purchase costs.Profit attributable to owners of the Company was HK$157.0 million, representing a net profit margin of 7.8% for the period.

Revenue from Mainland China operations increased by 9.4% (in local currency: 10.8%) to HK$1,221.9 million (2024: HK$1,116.6 million), due to the Company’s efforts to expand sales in the inland areas and the continued upward momentum in Mainland China.In Hong Kong, the performance of instant noodle business improved. Sales volume of both bag-type and cup-type instant noodles, including the signature brands Demae Iccho and Cup Noodles increased, as consumers considered instant noodles as a cost-effective food option amidst external uncertainties.

HONG KONG, Aug 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Dida Inc. (“Dida” or the “Company”, Stock Code: 02559.HK), a leading technology-driven mobility platform, announced the audited consolidated annual results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.Financial Highlights:- Revenue was RMB 286.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to RMB 404.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.- Gross profit was RMB191.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025,compared to RMB 296.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.- Net profit was RMB134.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025,compared to RMB 947.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.- Adjusted net profit (non-IFRS measure) increased by 4.7% from RMB129.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 to RMB135.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.Operation Highlights:- Gross transaction value amounted to RMB 2,608 million and total number of orders reached 43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.- Registered users reached over 395 million as of June 30, 2025.- Certified private car owners reached 19.9 million.- During the first half of 2025, the order volume for our station-based carpooling model increased month by month.Business OutlookCarpooling marketplace businessRiders on our carpooling platform can access low-cost mobility options and enjoy quality experience. Private car owners can save money on gas and tolls by sharing traveling expenseswith riders. Carpooling also brings about numerous societal benefits, such as reducing carbon emissions and mitigating traffic congestion.We believe the primary reason riders choose carpooling is its pricing, while the pain point for car owners is the cost of detours. This year, we continue to focus on optimizing our station-based carpooling model to further reduce detour distances for car owners and fares for riders. During the first half of 2025, the order volume for our station-based carpooling model increased month by month. It is also noteworthy that carpooling travel has distinct route specific characteristics. Unlike ride-hailing service, there is a potential semi-acquaintance relationship between drivers and riders. In the first half of this year, we experimented with enhancing these semi-acquaintance interactions between drivers and riders and achieved positive results.We believe that compared to the current door-to-door pickup model, It is more reasonable for private car owners to pick up passengers with no or minimum detour, while accept riders to pay at a discounted fare. Unlike the transactional nature of ride-hailing services, drivers and riders in carpooling lead to a more equal interaction. They may come from similar social,economic, or geographical backgrounds. In the future, we will continue to explore the unique characteristics of our business to provide users with an affordable, efficient and equitable ride-sharing experience.We will continue to enhance the user experience on our platform. In the second half of the year, we plan to work with ride-hailing platforms to address the needs of those carpooling riders who are not able to find matching private car owners and other on-demand travel needs. We believe this will enhance our platform’s ecosystem and service offerings.Additionally, our platform has attracted nearly 20 million private car owners. This year,we intend to collaborate with partners to provide private car owners with more aftermarket service offerings such as repair and maintenance, financing, insurance and used car trading.Taxi businessIn selected cities where we have already entered into strategic cooperation agreements, we continue to engage with all relevant stakeholders, including local authorities, taxi industry associations, taxi companies, and taxi drivers to implement dynamic pricing solutions.For the full announcement of Dida for the six months ended June 30, 2025, please visit:https://manager.wisdomir.com/files/594/2025/0822/20250822203001_23855082_en.pdfAbout Dida Inc.Dida Inc.

The Company creates more transit capacity with less environmental impact by providing carpooling marketplace services to pair up riders with private car owners if they are heading in similar directions at compatible times.
