Evergreen Profits Invests in Academic Labs Following $AAX Listing on Biconomy, Advancing a Universal Knowledge Layer for Decentralized AI Learning

SINGAPORE, Sept 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Academic Labs, the team building the first Universal Database of Knowledge for decentralized autonomous learning, has secured a strategic investment from Evergreen Profits.The announcement follows the recent listing of Academic Labs’ native token, $AAX, on Biconomy—an inflection point that broadens liquidity and participation while aligning incentives across developers, contributors, and institutional partners.What is Academic Labs?Academic Labs is architecting a transparent, interoperable knowledge layer where AI agents can autonomously learn, verify, and teach skills.By combining gamified learning, DAO-based governance, and data interoperability, the project aims to create a consensus-driven intelligence substrate that is open, verifiable, and portable across ecosystems.Since launching its MVP in January 2024, Academic Labs has seen rapid adoption—200,000 videos and challenges completed in the first month—alongside notable community and institutional engagement through hackathons and courses at QS Top 50 universities. Its Project Education initiative now supports over 20 ecosystems and reaches more than two million people worldwide.On the market front, the project recorded over $6M in first-day trading volume on Gate and completed BGA’s light incubation program under Bybit.Strategic Timing: Post-$AAX Biconomy ListingThe timing of Evergreen Profits’ investment is strategically significant. With $AAX newly listed on Biconomy, Academic Labs gains distribution that can anchor real utility: staking for curation and quality assurance, contributor rewards for challenge creation and validation, and governance participation in how the Universal Knowledge Graph is expanded and audited.Investor Fit and ComplementarityEvergreen Profits’ thesis-driven approach—built on adapting to cyclical market regimes—complements this next phase by emphasizing operational discipline, risk-aware growth, and standards that support long-term composability. Their portfolio experience across AI, data, and Web3 is expected to inform Academic Labs’ interoperability roadmap and agent-facing APIs.The investment will be directed toward three priorities.First, deepening the core protocol: advancing the Universal Knowledge Graph, extending agent APIs, and implementing on-chain verifiable credentials for proof-of-skill.Second, strengthening governance and incentives: refining DAO mechanisms for reputation, staking, and curation to ensure that knowledge ingestion and validation are transparent, auditable, and resistant to manipulation.Third, accelerating ecosystem growth: expanding university partnerships, developer programs, and cross-chain integrations so that content supply, challenge design, and agent training data scale in tandem with quality controls.What distinguishes this partnership is its emphasis on verifiability and portability. In an environment increasingly shaped by agentic AI, the bottleneck is not model capacity but trustworthy, structured knowledge and the signals that govern its use.By coupling $AAX’s broadened liquidity with Evergreen Profits’ cycle-aware capital and operational guidance, Academic Labs aims to turn raw educational content into an on-chain, consensus-curated knowledge asset that AI agents can query, learn from, and contribute back to—while users retain visibility into provenance and incentives.About Academic LabsAcademic Labs is building the 1st Universal Database of Knowledge that empowers decentralized autonomous learning for AI agents that assist users in acquiring skills and knowledge, fostering consensus-based intelligence for all of human society.

BANGKOK, Sept 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SCGJWD Logistics PCL (SET: SJWD), the largest integrated logistics and supply chain service provider in ASEAN, is further expanding its cold storage warehouse business, increasing coverage from the CLMV + China group of countries to Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. This enlarged regional cluster reinforces the Company's position as a strong Cold Chain Hub in ASEAN, capitalizing on the growth of cold storage in the region and leveraging cold storage as a growth driver for the core business.SCGJWD Logistics Co-CEOs: Mr. Bunn Kasemsup (L) and Mr. Charvanin Bunditkitsada (R)Mr. Bunn Kasemsup, Co-CEO of SCGJWD Logistics, remarked that the Company recognized the economic growth potential in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore as leading ASEAN countries driving regional economies. "We are expanding our cold storage warehouse and temperature-controlled transport business from the 'CLMV + China' group of countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Vietnam + China) to these Southeast Asian countries to enhance our position as a Cold Chain Hub in ASEAN – a strong center of the cold storage warehouse business in ASEAN, including the creation of a regional cold storage warehouse clusters."SCGJWD has invested in logistics services in Indonesia since 2017 through joint venture PT SCG Barito Logistics, and is capable of providing country-wide logistics services, covering the major islands of Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali, and Maluku. Services include land transport, general warehousing and dangerous goods storage, with a fleet of more than 200 trucks. In 2025, SCGJWD expects to realize a revenue of US$45 million, an 8% year-on-year increase, mainly from serving customers within the SCGJWD Group and Thai companies investing in Indonesia. SCGJWD has also entered into a joint venture with the Samudera Group, a major Indonesian shipping line operator, to manage cold storage warehouses, and is in negotiations for a business collaboration with a major Indonesian cold storage warehouse operator, which runs seven cold storage warehouses with a combined capacity of 30,000-40,000 pallets.In the Philippines, SCGJWD partnered with Royal Cargo, Inc (RCI), a leading integrated logistics and cold storage service provider in the country, to establish SCG Logistics Philippines Co., Ltd., a joint venture in 2023. SCGJWD recognized growth opportunities in the cold storage business in the Philippines and the potential in Royal Cargo, which operates over 140,000 square meters of cold storage space, capable of accommodating over 33,000 pallets. Discussions are currently underway to further expand investment in the Philippines.Malaysia was the latest country SCGJWD has invested in, partnering with Swift Haulage Berhad (SWIFT), a major integrated logistics service provider listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange, to establish joint venture Swift Cold Chain Sdn Bhd to invest in three cold storage warehouse projects. These are: (1) The GVL Cold Chain project, within Shah Alam International Logistics Hub covering approximately 11,000 m2 with a 10,000 pallet capacity. Construction is expected to be completed in Q4 2025 for service in early 2026; (2) The cold storage warehouse project in Johor Bahru covering 10,000 m2 with a 10,000 pallet capacity. Preparations to start construction are currently under way and are expected to be completed in Q4 2026. Both these projects will require a total investment of more than 800 million baht; (3) The cold storage warehouse construction project in Penang, with an area of 10,000 to 20,000 m2. This project is expected to be finalized in Q1 2027."SCGJWD prioritizes the expansion of its logistics clusters in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore, all of which are leading ASEAN countries with high growth potential. However, due to their archipelago-like geography, freight transport requires expertise and a truly comprehensive service network including solutions to meet the specific needs and addressing logistics and supply chain issues for customers. Therefore, we offer a wide range of services, including land, rail, and water transport; cold storage; general warehousing; and international freight forwarding, to meet the logistics needs of customers in each country and to ship goods from Singapore to Malaysia, the Philippines, or Indonesia," Mr Bunn said.Mr. Charvanin Bunditkitsada, Co-CEO of SCGJWD, stated that the 'CLMV + China' markets are strategically important for SCGJWD's cold storage business, with a broad market base covering both domestic consumption and import-export markets. This collaboration enables SCGJWD to connect and enhance its cross-border transportation services for temperature-controlled goods and general goods on the Thailand-ASEAN-China route. This has also led SCGJWD to adapt its transportation models and routes, including providing cross-border transportation services from other countries to Cambodia during the border closure period.SCGJWD, in collaboration with its partner RMA, has expanded its cold storage warehouse in Cambodia by 1,200 m2, bringing the total floor area to 3,400 m2, with an investment of US$550,000 (approximately 17.5 million baht). Recently, the Company partnered with Express Food Group (EFG), Cambodia's major operator of food chain franchises, including The Pizza Company, Dairy Queen, and Swensen's, to import and transport cooking equipment from Thailand to Cambodia.

Plant-Powered Pups: New Study Shows Dramatic Environmental Gains From Plant-Based Dog Food in the UK ACN Newswire

Plant-Powered Pups: New Study Shows Dramatic Environmental Gains From Plant-Based Dog Food in the UK

LONDON, Sept 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new life cycle assessment of 31 dry dog foods in the UK reveals that plant-based diets consistently outperform meat-based alternatives across every major environmental measure. Conducted by University of Nottingham veterinary researchers Rebecca Brociek and Professor David Gardner, and published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, the study underscores a major opportunity for pet owners and the pet food industry to shrink their ecological "pawprint."Key ResultsGreenhouse gas emissions: Plant-based foods produced just 2.82 kg CO₂-eq per 1,000 kcal, compared to 31.47 kg for beef-based formulas - over ten times higher.Land use: Plant-based diets required 2.73 m² per 1,000 kcal, versus 102.15 m² for beef-based products.Water use: Plant-based options consumed 249 L of freshwater per 1,000 kcal, far less than beef (575 L) or lamb (684 L).Nutrient and acidification pollution: Beef-based diets generated 14-16 times more acidifying and eutrophying emissions respectively, than plant-based equivalents.Middle ground: Poultry-based and semi-synthetic veterinary formulas had lower impacts than red meat, but still much higher than plant-based foods.Over a typical nine-year lifespan, feeding a 20 kg Labrador exclusively on plant-based dry food would require 8,964 m² of land and emit greenhouse gases equal to 2.8 London-New York return flights. The same dog fed on beef-based food would need 334,851 m² of land and emit the equivalent of 31.3 such flights.Why It MattersWith pet ownership on the rise worldwide and demand for pet foods increasing, the environmental impact of animal-based ingredients can no longer be overlooked. The researchers conclude that increasing plant-based ingredients in pet diets provides a practical and scalable way to reduce land use, emissions, nutrient pollution, and water stress - without compromising caloric value.They note, "feeding your dog plant-based will significantly improve a households' environmentally sustainability", and that, "… lower-impact pet food ingredients will be essential in reducing the [pet food] sector's ecological paw print."While some suggest that using meat by-products like ‘meat meals' is more sustainable, the study found these often ranked among the highest-impact ingredients, failing to bridge the gap.Broader ContextThis work supports earlier research. In 2023, veterinary professor Andrew Knight demonstrated that switching pet dogs worldwide to nutritionally sound vegan diets could save greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 1.5 times the UK's annual output, while providing enough food energy to feed 450 million people, equivalent to the EU population. By late 2025, at least 11 peer-reviewed studies had also shown positive health outcomes for dogs fed plant-based diets.As Prof. Knight explained, "Higher proportions of plant-based ingredients, or nutritionally complete plant-based diets, can substantially reduce the ecological footprints of companion animals. As awareness grows, such diets may shift from niche to mainstream - aligning our care for pets with responsibility for the planet."Contact InformationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.au+44 7577 899 61SOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Chery Auto Listed on HKEX: Backed by Cornerstone Investors, Dual Drivers of New Energy and Globalization Accelerate Growth

HONG KONG, Sep 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The Hong Kong stock market has continued its recovery trend since the beginning of the year, with IPO market remaining robust. On September 25, Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. (“Chery Auto,” stock code: 9973.HK), a leading Chinese independent passenger vehicle brand, was officially listed on the HKEX, marking one of the most notable large-scale IPOs of the year.In this IPO, Chery Auto attracted cornerstone investments totaling approximately US$587 million from over ten institutions, including Hillhouse, Greenwoods, Huangshan Construction Investment, Nexchip, Horizon Robotics, Dajia Life, Martis Fund, Gotion HK, Hefei Jianhui, PSBC Wealth, and Xingyu Co., Ltd. The participation of well-known institutions, players across the industrial chain, and local government entities underscores the market’s confidence in Chery Auto’s long-term growth potential and highlights its pivotal position within the automotive industry chain. The strong alignment of multiple stakeholders not only safeguards Chery Auto’s successful listing but also builds a broader collaborative ecosystem for its future business expansion.Dual Focus on ICE and NEV to Seize Opportunities in Industry TransformationChery Auto started out with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and has built strong competitive barriers in the traditional powertrain segment, underpinned by comprehensive system capabilities and deep technological expertise. This has laid a solid foundation for its subsequent diversified development. Leveraging its advanced technological strength, Chery Auto has developed classic ICE product lines such as Tiggo and Arrizo. In 2024, sales volume of ICE vehicles rose by more than 29% year-on-year, serving as a key “ballast” for the Company’s performance.While consolidating its strengths in ICE vehicles, Chery Auto has also identified the global industry trends of “electrification and intelligentization”. With a core strategy of “in-house R&D + scenario-based application”, the Company has established a differentiated competitive edge in new energy and smart mobility. Today, it has built a full-spectrum powertrain portfolio covering “pure electric + hybrid + range-extender” models, achieving strong synergy and complementarity with its ICE business and driving continuous enhancement of its brand value.In hybrid sector, Chery Auto’s independently developed ACTECO 1.5TGDI hybrid engine is the first range-extender electric vehicle engine in China to receive the “Premium Drive” certification from the China Automotive Technology and Research Center. With a maximum thermal efficiency of 44.5%, it surpasses the industry average of around 40% for hybrid engines in Chinese-brand passenger vehicles. In pure electric sector, the E0X platform-based LUXEED R7, equipped with an 800V “Giant Whale” high voltage battery platform, achieves a recharge up to 200 km within five minutes. In January 2025, it topped the sales chart for battery electric mid-to-large SUVs in China, demonstrating strong competitiveness in the pure electric sector. Additionally, the Company focuses on “user experience implementation” by developing the “Lion Intelligent Cockpit” system and driving assistance system, further enhancing product competitiveness. In 2024, the Company’s new energy vehicle sales surged by 267.4% year-on-year, ranking first among the global top 20 passenger vehicle companies.Deepening Global Presence to Unlock New Growth OpportunitiesAs the leading exporter of Chinese domestic brand passenger vehicle, Chery Auto has established a comprehensive global network for R&D, manufacturing, and sales since its first export in 2001, setting a benchmark for Chinese domestic brands “going global”. In terms of the sales network layout, the Company’s products are available in over 100 countries and regions. As of 31 March 2025, Chery Auto boasts 1,092 overseas distributors across Asia (excluding China), Europe, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, with a total of 2,958 overseas sales outlets. It has maintained the top position in Chinese domestic brand passenger vehicle for 22 consecutive years since 2003. In 2024, Chery Auto’s overseas sales surged by 37.4% year-on-year, generating overseas revenue of RMB97.87 billion, accounting for 39.7% of its total revenue.From a regional perspective, Chery Auto has secured leading positions in multiple key overseas markets. In 2024, the Company ranked first in sales among Chinese domestic brand passenger vehicle companies in Europe, South America, and the Middle East & North Africa region. In North America and Asia (excluding China), it ranked second in sales among its Chinese peers. According to Frost & Sullivan, the Tiggo 7 was the best-selling passenger vehicle model among Chinese domestic brand passenger vehicle in terms of export volume in 2024. In the premium segment, the EXEED brand ranked first in export volume among Chinese domestic premium automotive brands.Leveraging its existing global foundation, Chery Auto plans to further upgrade its overseas strategy through this listing on the HKEX. According to the prospectus, the Company intends to allocate 20% of the proceeds from the IPO to overseas market expansion. On the production front, Chery Auto will establish new production facilities in Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam and Malaysia, while expanding existing overseas factories to enhance localized production capabilities. In R&D, it will strengthen its presence in Europe, Southeast Asia, and North America, focusing on developing new energy vehicles and smart driving technologies tailored to local markets. For sales channels, Chery Auto will further densify its global sales and service network. The implementation of these initiatives is expected to unlock significant new growth opportunities for the Company.From its humble beginnings in a "small thatched shed" in 1997 to its current position among the Fortune Global 500, Chery Auto has consistently led the industry with a pioneering spirit that dares to challenge conventions. This listing on the HKEX marks the beginning of a new phase of capital empowerment, bringing greater possibilities for advancing its new energy strategy and expanding into overseas markets. Looking ahead, with continuous iterations in new energy and intelligent products and the further expansion of its global network, Chery Auto is well positioned to sustain its high-quality growth trajectory and achieve both performance and value enhancement.

WORK Medical enters strategic partnerships in bid to explore RWA initiatives ACN Newswire

WORK Medical enters strategic partnerships in bid to explore RWA initiatives

Key Takeaways:WORK Medical has formed a new alliance with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association and was appointed as the organization’s “council vice chairman.”The company has also entered into a collaboration with Ruijin Hospital’s Wuxi Branch to accelerate the development of a next-generation, AI-driven smart clinical ecosystemHONG KONG, Sep 24, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong kicked off a new era in its embrace of virtual assets on Aug. 1 with the official launch of a regulatory and licensing framework for virtual currencies known as stablecoins. A steady stream of Chinese companies has begun experimenting in the city with virtual assets and their underlying blockchain technology since then, covering a wide range of industries.Medical products seller WORK Medical Technology Group Ltd. (WOK.US) became the latest to join that parade, as it unveiled a major new initiative to explore real world asset (RWA) tokenization and related blockchain technology in a partnership with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association, which promotes the high-quality development of the global Web3.0 industry through standardization research and efforts.The deal comes just over a year after WORK Medical listed on the Nasdaq, and is part of the company’s evolving “Healthcare + Payment + Technology = RWA + Web3 + AI” strategy. WORK Medical also plans to strategically collaborate with one or more qualified firms from the financial sector, which would provide a key compliance channel for its asset tokenization ambitions.Tokenized RWA, or real-world assets with value that have been digitalized, is projected to surge to over $50 billion by the end of this year, according to a report published in May by digital currency market-making firm Keyrock and tokenization platform Centrifuge. The report also pointed out that tokenized RWA will be dominated by U.S. treasuries, whose value alone will push the sector size to over $28 billion. Three areas for collaborationWORK Medical laid out three main areas for collaboration with its new Hong Kong partner. The first area involves the tokenization of “high-quality assets owned or invested in by WORK Medical,” the company said. It pointed out it can leverage both its status as a Nasdaq-listed company, as well as its expertise and assets related to its medical device business, including AI healthcare assets. It wasn’t more specific, but assets it could probably tokenize might include its receivables, investment products and intellectual property.The second area WORK Medical’s new partnership will explore is equity investments, which could include co-investments or participation in funds and other financial vehicles to accelerate its move into RWA for potential tokenization and achieve shared strategic goals.The third area involves development of RWA technology, which would leverage the Hong Kong Web30 Association’s recently launched RWA registration platform. That platform facilitates collaboration on a range of related functions, including blockchain-based title verification, asset issuance, and cross-chain transactions, while ensuring regulatory compliance and asset security.The company’s recent activities indicate it is already accumulating the expertise to develop and manage such assets. In February, it announced a partnership with another medical device company that included the potential establishment of “joint investment funds to align industrial and financial resources.” It said that partnership could also involve investment in healthcare infrastructure, development of advanced technologies and global acquisitions.WORK Medical’s new partnership puts it at the head of a nascent but rapidly growing wave of Chinese companies looking for new business opportunities in the fast-emerging business of digitalized RWAs. Any company owning or possessing rights to RWAs, both their own and assets owned by others, can technically enter the space.Building smart clinical ecosystemOn Monday, WORK Medical also announced another new partnership with the Wuxi Branch of the Ruijin Hospital-Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Under the partnership, WORK Medical will support Xin Rui Hospital’s efforts to advance hospital informatization. It will also assist in efforts to integrate AI with the hospital’s multimodal medical data, such as text, imaging, and lab results.https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2025/09/22/3153945/0/en/WORK-Medical-Technology-Group-LTD-Partners-with-Wuxi-Branch-of-Ruijin-Hospital-Shanghai-Jiao-Tong-University-School-of-Medicine-to-Develop-AI-Applications-in-Healthcare.htmlThe two sides plan to enhance WORK Medical’s multimodal AI solutions from single-image to complex data types by leveraging Xin Rui Hospital’s clinical and expert resources. The collaboration aims to develop AI models for diverse healthcare scenarios, establishing a framework for data governance, model training, and clinical translation. WORK Medical Chairman and CEO Wu Shuang said the two new partnerships – with the Hong Kong Web3.0 Standardization Association for RWA innovation and with Xin Rui Hospital for AI-driven healthcare – are strategic moves aimed at unlocking new growth avenues and building long-term value.The company’s inaugural annual earnings report for its fiscal year through September 2024, issued earlier this year, also contains hints that it was dabbling in financial markets, not only through its IPO but also through other investing activities, in the year before its listing.https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/work-medical-technology-group-ltd-reports-financial-results-for-fiscal-year-2024-302377075.htmlWORK Medical’s new alliance could take it in a completely new direction from its core business of producing and selling masks and other medical products like artery compression tourniquets. As the Covid pandemic receded and demand for masks declined, leading to falling prices, the company’s revenue from its mask business fell 69% in its fiscal year through September 2024 to $1.6 million from $5.1 million the previous year. That was partly offset by an 18% increase in its revenue for other medical devices, which rose to $9.4 million from $8 million.Its latest financial report also shows that WORK Medical has engaged in commodities trading, which generated $400,000 in income in its latest fiscal year through September 2024. The company also derived a sizable $15.7 million in cash from financing activities for the fiscal year, up sharply from a year earlier and greater than the $11.5 million in revenue it generated from sales of its core medical products for the year.In the finance sector, supply chain financier Linklogis late last month also formed a partnership with XRP Ledger, the organization overseeing the ripple cryptocurrency, aimed at exploring the digitalization and tokenization of RWA.Source: The Bamboo WorksBy Doug Young Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Kincora Secures Full Rights to the Mongolian Copper-Gold Portfolio ACN Newswire

Kincora Secures Full Rights to the Mongolian Copper-Gold Portfolio

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 22, 2025) - Gold-copper explorer and hybrid project generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has resecured the full rights of its Mongolian c0pper-gold portfolio following Orbminco Limited's (ASX: OB1) (formerly known as Woomera Mining Limited) withdrawal from the September 2024 Earn-In Agreement as it now focuses on its Australian gold exploration.Assets within the portfolio include:a large Mineral Resource Estimate and Exploration Target reported under the JORC Code by Resilience Mining Mongolia Limited 1 for the West Kasulu prospect, which includes a small portion of one of three extensive, from surface and underexplored copper-gold intrusive complexes (the majority hosted on an existing 30-year mining license);a year-round field camp; and,a proprietary Mongolia wide project generation database.Further details are provided in an Appendix to this release.This development comes at a time of various notable positive developments highlighting the potential of Mongolian's resource sector and the Bronze Fox copper-gold project. These include:Xanadu Mines and its flagship Kharmagtai copper-gold project's recent A$160-million takeover by Bastion Mining Pte. Ltd,Erdene Resource Development's first gold pour at its greenfield Bayan Khundii project,construction of the privately held Tsagaan Suvarga copper-molybdenum project, and,the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold project being on track to be the world's fourth largest copper mine by 2030.With Kincora now controlling 100% ownership, the Company will move forward to build on existing and new interest in the project.Kincora intends to consider a range of options, including focused self-funded exploration, third party investment and other corporate initiatives. Near term value add activities may include the potential submission for a second mining license at the Bronze Fox project and fresh mining studies relating to the existing oxide resource reflecting recent shifting in commodity prices.Further market updates will be provided following any material development arising to the Company's Mongolian asset portfolio.This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Kincora Copper Limited (ARBN 645 457 763)For further information please contact: Kincora Copper Limited Sam Spring, President and Chief Executive Officer sam.spring@kincoracopper.com or +61431 329 345AppendixKincora's Mongolian asset portfolio includes a 100% interest in one of the largest land positions and porphyry complexes in the Southern Gobi copper-gold belt, a region which is one of the world's most rapidly emerging sources of copper supply and infrastructure development.The Company's Mongolian portfolio assets include:Bronze Fox mining license (the eastern license of the Bronze Fox project),Tourmaline Hills exploration license (the western license of the Bronze Fox project),White Pearl field camp (year-round facility), and,one of (if not) the largest project generation databases for Mongolia.In July 2022, the Company announced a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and updated Exploration Target for the West Kasulu prospect within the Bronze Fox project reported under the JORC code and prepared by Resilience Mining Mongolia Limited 1. Both the MRE and Exploration Target are open in all directions 1.The MRE 1 hosts a from surface oxide component with previous metallurgical analysis and desktop studies supporting the potential for a low capex SX-EW (solvent extraction-electrowinning) development project producing a finished copper cathode product.The majority of the MRE and Exploration Target 1 are situated within the existing Bronze Fox mining licence with the balance being on the adjoining Tourmaline Hills exploration licence (collectively the Bronze Fox project).With Kincora now retaining 100% ownership and optionality around adding value to the asset base, the Company intends to consider a range of options including the potential for a near term submission for a second mining license which would provide mining license coverage across the full project and be a major milestone unlocking the potential for a SX-EW development project. Kincora will consider fresh mining studies relating to the existing oxide resource reflecting recent shifting in commodity prices.The West Kasulu prospect is hosted within a small portion of the much larger mineralised Bronze Fox Intrusive Complex, which is one of three so far identified underexplored, near surface and large porphyry complexes at the wider Bronze Fox project.2024 field season activities undertaken by Orbminco Limited included predominately infill drilling, required to support conversion of the existing Tourmaline Hills exploration license to a mining license, plus one deep diamond drill hole 2. The 2025 field season sampling and mapping activities further confirmed and expanded the potential for a higher-grade extension to the current MRE envelope 1, which remains open 3. More recent geophysical programs comprised of Induced Polarisation (IP) and gravity surveys have also been completed reconfirming existing targets and identified additional targets for further review 4.2025 field sampling and geophysical programs have also been undertaken at the Shuteen North target, which hosts extensive sub-cropping copper mineralisation and multiple intrusive systems 3 4. The Shuteen North target has never been previously drilled and is interpreted to be associated with the Shuteen lithocap, the largest lithocap in the Southern Gobi. The importance of this conceptual geological setting is significant given the lithocap at the Oyu Tolgoi project was an important early-stage exploration marker and the relative size of the Shuteen lithocap relatively to Oyu Tolgoi.The Company continues to defend a tax assessment that was relied upon to complete a merger in 2016, with the Mongolian Supreme Court scheduled to hear this case again in the next month.Please refer to Kincora's website and contact the Company for further details.Footnotes1 The Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and Exploration Target have been prepared by independent consultant DG & JG Larsen Consulting Pty Ltd and are reported in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2012 (JORC Code) and is not based on Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) definitions, and as a result the estimate is not recognized under National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators (NI 43-101).The MRE and Exploration Target were commissioned and paid for by Resilience Mining Mongolia Limited, an unrelated party, meeting a condition precedent from a Joint Venture and Acquisition Agreement, and subsequent extension agreement, that was subsequently terminated by Kincora. The MRE and Exploration Target were based on data and geological information supplied by Kincora and Resilience Mining Mongolia Limited.The MRE and Exploration Target were reviewed by Kincora's geological staff under the supervision of Paul Cromie (BSc Hons. M.Sc. Economic Geology, PhD, member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Society of Economic Geologists), then Exploration Manager Australia, who was the Qualified Persons for the purpose of NI 43-101.In 2022, Kincora retained a 100% interest in the project, data and reports pertaining to the MRE and Exploration Target from Resilience Mining Mongolia Limited (see the July 8, 2022, release "Kincora provides corporate update for Mongolian portfolio" for further details).In September 2024, Kincora executed a definitive agreement with Orbminco Limited's (formerly Woomera Mining Limited) to provide certain rights to the Mongolian project. Under the Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement with Kincora multiple phases of exploration were undertaken by Orbminco Limited, including:4Q'2024 drilling program: a sixteen hole for 2,516 metre drilling program was completed designed to infill and extend the existing MRE with results that "confirm expansion and higher-grade potential of the West Kasulu resource" 2.1Q'2025 mapping and surface sampling program: the program "validated historic sampling and confirm a high-grade, copper-gold extension structure at the West Kasulu prospect which is open and trends northwest beneath shallow cover". Orbminco noted the "trend remains largely undrilled and that IP and gravity surveys are proposed to facilitate follow up drilling". At the Shuteen North prospect, located 10km southwest of the West Kasulu MRE, "limited previous exploration has recorded extensive sub-cropping copper mineralisation and multiple phase intrusive systems associated with strong mineral alteration, which has been confirmed during the recent mapping" 3.3Q'2025 geophysical program: a "large geophysical survey" included induced polarisation (IP) and gravity survey and followed up the 1Q'2025 mapping and surface sampling program. "Several IP anomalies have been identified to the west of the current resource and at Shuteen North. The results of the completed IP and gravity surveys have reconfirmed the existing targets and identified additional targets for further review" 4.In accordance with the Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement, Orbminco Limited will within 60 days following the date of effective termination deliver all technical data obtained to Kincora.The Company is not aware of any information otherwise which materially affects the information included in the announcement referred to above and, in the care of the MRE and Exploration Target, all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in that announcement continue to apply.For further details relating to the Mongolian licenses please refer to the Company's website (www.kincoracopper.com) and ASX listing prospectus, including the Mining Associates Technical Export Report (February 25, 2021).References1 Further details and technical disclosures included in the July 26, 2022, Kincora Copper press release "Mineral resource and updated exploration target for Bronze Fox". 2 Further details and technical disclosures included in the January 14, 2025, Orbminco Limited press release "Drilling Results for Bronze Fox Copper-Gold Project". 3 Further details and technical disclosures included in the March 26, 2025, Orbminco Limited press release "High grade copper-gold potential confirmed at Bronze Fox"4 Further details and technical disclosures included in the August 15, 2025, Orbminco Limited press release "Update on Mongolian Operations".Kincora Copper LimitedExecutive office400 - 837 West Hastings Street Vancouver, BC V6C 3N6, Canada Tel: 1.604.283.1722 Subsidiary office AustraliaC/- JM Corporate ServicesLevel 6, 350 Collins Street Melbourne, VIC, Australia 3000Forward-Looking StatementsCertain information regarding Kincora contained herein may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws.
