Melbourne, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2026) - Copper-gold explorer and hybrid project generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) ("KCC") ("Kincora" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received firm and irrevocable commitments for a strongly supported placement amounting to A$4 million (before costs). The Company proposes to issue approximately 3,809,524 CHESS Depository Interests (CDIs) (representing a beneficial interest in 3,809,524 fully paid common shares in the Company (Shares)) with an issue price of A$1.05 per CDI (Placement).

Investors will receive one (1) attaching option for every two (2) new CDIs allocated under the Placement (Attaching Options). The Attaching Options will have an exercise price of A$1.35 and expire 3-years from the date of issue. The Company intends to apply to list the Attaching Options on the ASX, subject to achieving sufficient spread requirements and lodgement of a Prospectus with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Alpine Capital Pty Ltd (Alpine Capital) acted as Sole Lead Manager to the Placement.

President & CEO, Sam Spring, commented: "We are very pleased to welcome multiple new institutional investors to Kincora's register and mark a major step in continuing to improve the Company's ability to undertake large scale exploration activities across multiple high-quality assets simultaneously.

"The additional capital will allow us to more aggressively explore and systematically advance our Cobar Basin, Northparkes and Cowal block projects. We anticipate these activities will create optionality for both sole funding and partnering opportunities in the future, increasing the scale of our existing hybrid prospect generator funding model.

"We are extremely excited to begin our sole funded drilling campaign in April at the Condobolin project, with initial preparatory phases already well underway."

Use of Funds

Proceeds from the Placement will support an expanded near-term drilling program at the Condobolin project, Kincora's 100% owned southern Cobar basin project. Furthermore, geophysics and target refinement programs will be conducted, followed by exploration drilling programs at Fairholme and Trundle porphyry projects, and, expanded near term geophysics at the Jemalong porphyry project. Funds will also support working capital requirements, costs of the offer and potential new license/project acquisitions.

Alpine Capital will receive a 6% cash fee on all funds raised and 476,190 Placement options as consideration for services provided in connection with the Placement (with a statutory fourmonth hold period).

CONDOBOLIN PROJECT

Kincora's 100%-owned precious-base metals Condobolin project sits in the increasingly active Cobar basin, where consolidation around existing mills (for example Harmony-MAC Copper and Aeris-Peel) is highlighting the strategic value of truckable high-grade feed.

The Company has consolidated the historic Condobolin mining field (mining ceased at the water table and not effectively explored below the weathered zone) within trucking distance of an existing mill seeking third party ore. The key initial focus is the shallow high-grade Meritilga precious-base metals discovery.

Drilling is scheduled to commence in April testing on-strike and down-dip extensions of the known gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc lenses and for repeat and/or stacked high-grade lenses within the broader Condobolin trend.

COWAL - NORTHPARKES CORRIDOR PROJECTS

These projects host large scale mineral systems and are located in highly prospective settings to existing world-class mines and porphyry complexes previously the focus of majors but now 100% owned by Kincora:

• Fairholme project: a large existing mineralised footprint adjacent to Cowal prospective for Cowal style structural gold in the south and Marsden style copper-gold systems in the north.

• Trundle project: a large existing mineralised footprint in the Northparkes Block with porphyry and skarn related copper and gold targets in both the north and south of a large existing license with multiple geological and geophysical vectors for follow up drilling.
