Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 16, 2024) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a business update on the commercialisation progress of THERMAL-XR® Powered by GMG Graphene.CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT UPDATEGMG continues to carry out both Supply and Service Coating for various Air Conditioning Manufacturers, Distributors, Contractors and end equipment owners - including the large HVACR condensing units showing the black coating of THERMAL-XR on the condenser coils seen in Figure 1.Figure 1: GMG Team Members in front of large HVACR condensing units coated with THERMAL-XRTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/226793_4a202364a43cd862_001full.jpgAt an event on 4th October 2024 in Brisbane, Australia that included the broad participation of HVAC industry representatives, GMG successfully RE-launched THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE. The focus of the event was on Thermal-XR's unique heat transfer and corrosion protection capabilities. When first developed, the product was named THERMAL-XR® RESTORE because the Company believed its principal benefit was to restore the heat transfer capabilities of existing installed air conditioners. However, GMG has since proved with third party verification that the product can also enhance the heat transfer of new equipment; hence the re-branding to THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE.As a result, GMG now believes that THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE has exciting opportunities with HVAC Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") in addition to its potential in the HVAC aftermarket. Over the past several months, GMG has completed on-site testing of THERMAL-XR® with global Air Conditioning Manufacturers in China and the USA for potential introduction into their factories. While further customer testing will be required, GMG believes early results are promising.Apart from applications in the HVAC industry, the unique heat transfer capabilities of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE has also led to potential new applications in a wide range of industries where reducing heat is important. For example, customer managed Third Party Laboratory Testing with THERMAL-XR® is now being done with companies that operate LNG facilities; companies that manufacture electronic products; and companies that produce motors for the industrial and automotive markets. Further testing will be required to confirm the benefits of using THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE in such applications.Figure 2: RE-LAUNCH of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCETo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/226793_4a202364a43cd862_002full.jpgAs shown in Figure 2, THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE will now be available in 5 litre pails, instead of the original 10 litre containers. Customers have expressed their preference for lighter weight pails because they believe they are easier to lift onto roof tops for spraying in-situ air conditioners. Generally, 5 Litres of THERMAL-XR can be used to spray up to 5 small to medium size air conditioners, covering approximately 50 square metres of solid plate.As previously announced, GMG and Nu Calgon have signed an agreement and are working with a consultant to prepare and submit a Pre-Manufacture Notice ("PMN") in conjunction with its USA Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") application to import and sell in the USA. The PMN application is expected to be submitted before the end of October, and the approval is expected to take less than 12 months. The PMN will be substantially different from the Low Volume Exemption ("LVE") PMN that was previously submitted by GMG. Unlike the LVE PMN application that was limited to 10 tons per annum and one application technique in the HVAC sector, the PMN EPA approval that GMG is now seeking will not be limited by volume, application and any one particular sector.INDUSTRY RECOGNITIONTHERMAL-XR® is a finalist in the AIRAH Product of the Year - to be announced on 21st November 2024. AIRAH, the Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating, is the peak body representing the HVAC&R industry in Australia.

- Eng Kong is the first depot in Singapore to trial and customised this technology, after several locations such as Korea's HMM PSA New-port Terminal in Busan who has also adopted similar technology.- The Singapore version is environmentally friendly as it will address carbon emissions, carbon footprint and reduce air pollution due to paperless processing.- Significant productivity, safety and manpower advantages with process times halved. Drivers can remain in their vehicles while streamlining the depot administration process.- Eng Kong plans to expand the system to its other Singapore depots by 1Q2025, potentially boosting efficiency and boosting throughput.SINGAPORE, Oct 17, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - EKH Pte Ltd. (“Eng Kong” or the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), one of Asia-Pacific’s largest shipping container depot operators, has installed and customised Singapore’s first automated container seal dispenser systems to fit their depot’s Container Management Systems (CMS) systems.The Group intends to expand the system to its other three Singapore depots by 1Q2025 and eventually its mega depot 3Q2026. Eng Kong’s mega depot, spanning 80,000 square metres, will be Singapore’s largest depot. The system will have significant productivity, safety and manpower advantages compared to traditional methods.Container seals are required to prevent theft and unauthorized access to the container contents. Previously, the seal collection process was highly manual, administrative and time-consuming, taking an average of 30 minutes before drivers could obtain seals.Eng Kong's wholly owned subsidiary, Eng Kong Container Agencies Pte Ltd, has installed and customised Singapore’s first fully automated seal dispenser system which has helped cut collection time by half. The system is fully localized for Eng Kong’s depots, ensuring seamless integration with their current logistics infrastructure.Drivers now follow a seamless and safer flow, and no longer need to disembark their vehicles - much like a drive through. Upon entering the depot, time-consuming procedures are now eased up with the use Automated Gate Registration, Acceptance and Payment Functions with the use of Depot Appointment Information and Licensed Plate Recognition (LTR) Licensed Plate Recognition (LPR) technology and a cashless payment system. The driver then collects and quality-checks the container and seals at the automated seal dispenser.Labour shortage pressures could be further eased through automation, drivers will be able to transport more containers, and administrative staff could be trained for more strategic positions.In Singapore, a total of 39.01 million TEUs were processed in 2023(1). At Eng Kong’s domestic depots, the introduction of automated seal dispensers is expected to significantly boost efficiency. As each minute saved per container adds up significantly, it has been estimated that this new initiative can save up to an estimated 50,000 of man-hours per annum for the entire process from the time the driver arrives, processing, mounting the containers and collecting the seal from the dispenser machine near the entrance. These time savings will enable for reskilling the staff to other job opportunities, enhancing workforce capabilities and booth the driver(s) earning, while increase efficiency.Additionally, Singapore’s handling capacity is expected to double once the PSA Tuas Port is completed in 2040(2). Traffic congestion around busy depots will be eased and safety for drivers improved as they no longer alight their vehicles. Labour shortage pressures could be further eased through automation, drivers will be able to transport more containers, and administrative staff could be trained for more strategic positions.Paul Ng, Co-Chairman of Eng Kong said, “As one of Singapore’s largest depot operators, we are committed to improving operational efficiency, reducing manual labour dependency and improving the safety of our depots. As Singapore’s depots transition to Tuas, which is set to be the world’s largest automated port, investing in automated solutions will allow Eng Kong to remain at the forefront of this digital transformation. The world is watching Singapore and depot operators have a role to play in embracing technology and integrating advanced solutions, driving progress across the industry.”(1) S’pore port handled record 39.01 million shipping containers in 2023, Straits Times, 13 Jan 2024(2) World’s largest automated terminal: PSA Tuas Port pioneering automation transformation with event-driven architecture, Seatrade Maritime News, 14 Feb 2024About Eng KongFounded in 1975, Eng Kong is an integrated logistics operator and a key provider of container related services to global firms operating in the Asia-Pacific region.

香港, 2024年10月16日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 香港董事学会就2024年10月16日发表之《施政报告》作出回应。行政长官李家超先生今日发表任内第三份施政报告，篇幅颇长，主要在于深化推进既有长远发展策略及相关措施。然而，长远发展收效需时。故此，施政报告有不少短中期措施扶稳经济。中长期发展本港长远发展，重中之重，是努力发展成为国际创新科技中心，以新质生产力体现高质量经济发展。其中，政府将制订新型工业中长期发展方案，推动成立新型工业发展联盟，促进"政、产、学、研、投"紧密合作，完善新型工业发展策略和体制。另方面，施政报告提到，政府将扩大研究配对资助，加大创科产业投资，成立100亿元"创科产业引导基金"，优化"创科创投基金"，推出"创科加速器先导计划"，应有助创科及新型工业发展。短中期措施行政长官已经向中央提出，优化内地居民来港旅游签注的请求，包括恢复"一签多行"个人游签注及增加"一周一行"个人游签注试点城市，争取更多入境旅客。行政长官也提到，将放宽签证门槛，吸引更多东盟地区旅客来港。越多高端旅客愿意来港，不论是商务差旅抑或消闲游玩，都是好事。高端旅客最重体验。若论高端旅客，中东地区应会是一大来源。他们在港是否容易获得符合清真教义及礼拜需要的设施配套，好可能直接影响他们对香港的印象，是否值得再来或推荐更多人来。行政长官提到，发展盛事旅游经济，既要重质亦要重量。事实上， "盛事"标签不能用的太滥，但旅客来港参加真正盛事之时，有其它不同类型的大小活动顺道参加，可以吸引旅客多留一两天。施政报告推出一系列措施支援中小企，包括再推"还息不还本"融资担保安排，及向"BUD专项基金"注资10亿元等。行政长官又提到，金管局正积极考虑就银行资本要求提供弹性，促进银行为中小企提供融资。我们相信，相关措施，可以帮助中小企应对经济转型的融资需要。行政长官又提到，推动数字经济与实体经济融合发展，例如加速发展数字贸易。扩大"数码转型先导计划"的涵盖范围，应该会帮助更多中小企实现数字转型。政府又将成立"促进银发经济工作组"，由政务司副司长任组长，循消费、产业、生产力等五方面推出措施，开拓新的产品和服务满足长者需要，并创造商机。至于"释放银色生产动力"的想法，我们赞同。我们认为，本港人口老化问题越见严重，有长者需要合适政策措施得以照顾安老。但应对老龄化的总体政策应以帮助更多长者打破银色天花板为目标，给予年纪渐大但仍有心有力的长者空间和机会充实暮年生活，做他们想做想干的事，不因年龄成为障碍。施政报告有若干措施，巩固国际金融中心地位，例如便利市民跨境金融安排、建立国际黄金交易市场、提升绿色金融生态系统、建立大宗商品交易生态圈等。优化证券市场的措施，包括优化上市审批流程，争取更多企业来港上市。我们认为，除了内地企业，若能吸引更多支持共建一带一路的国家地区的企业来港上市，会是好事。下调烈酒税须顾及公共健康行政长官宣布，局部下调烈酒税，进口价200元以上从价税率减至10%，估计有8成多烈酒的税率不受影响。学会并不同意全面减免烈酒税，但可以同意，今次减税方案或对高价烈酒提供比较公平的竞争环境。有政界人士或以此认为方案聪明，是耶非耶，仍是见仁见智。高价烈酒与低价烈酒，同样有害健康。日前有议员认为，为高价酒提供税惠，可以鼓励店商引入好酒，可以教育市民分辨好酒云云。按此说法，开放足球以外更多运动球类博彩也不会鼓励赌博，反而会教育市民什么是好球。但我们留意到，政府需要不时播放公共宣传广告，劝谕市民不要沉迷赌博，并提供戒赌辅导相关信息。我们期望政府当局预留资源，提前制订措施，应对减烈酒税后可能多了人会喝酒、喝多了酒而产生的公共健康负面影响。取缔劣质㓥房醖酿多时，行政长官今日宣布，将推出住宅楼宇分间单位出租制度，锐意取缔劣质㓥房，而合符最低规格的将成为被认证、受规管的"简朴房"。我们期待政府公布更多细节，而各界也肯定会仔细斟酌最低规格的标准和定义。㓥房的存在，绝不是香港的光荣。改革体育总会管治施政报告同持提出研究设立体育争议解决制度，学会表示支持，学会也乐意配合政府推动体育发展。其中，香港董事学会一直以来都为体育总会及界别内其它机构提供培训及特定的管治谘询服务，于未来也会继续协助为体育总会及相关机构落实新制订的《机构管治守则》，完善管治水平。经济发展去改善民生行政长官于今日下午的记者会，开宗明义，说出要以经济发展去改善民生。学会一直认为，经济持续增长是寻找资源以解决房屋、贫穷、老年社会和环境等民生问题的最可倚仗的伙伴。行政长官上任以来推行不少政策措施解决积累已久的经济、民生问题，我们表示欣赏。然而，实际效果需要时间才能验证，期间更需财政、人力等资源配合。我们期望经济能尽快回复动力，给下一个财政预算案更多资源弹性，更好更快落实行政长官的施政方向。香港董事学会（简称"HKIoD"，又以下简称"学会"）香港董事学会为香港代表董事共同努力的首要组织，其宗旨是促进企业永续发展职能，为所有公司、其拥有者、持份者、人类以至地球创造持久价值；为达成使命，学会致力于企业管治（"企业管治"又称"公司治理"）及董事专业行为上的倡导及釐定相关标准。学会于1997年由创会主席郑慕智博士带领下创始，多年来非常荣幸获得香港特别行政区行政长官担任学会赞助人。学会会员来自不同行业及公司类别，并包括执行董事、非执行董事、独立非执行董事。学会以多元文化及国际视野进行会务，举办活动包括董事培训课程、研讨会与论坛、董事立场喉舌、指引设定、公众教育、董事嘉奖系列、上市公司管治水平釐定等。作为"董事学会环球网络"（Global Network of Director Institutes 简称"GNDI")的成员组织，学会投入全球性联手推动优秀企业管治及董事专业行为。学会亦获委派代办"气候管治行动"(Climate Governance Initiative)之香港分部，该行动是与"世界经济论坛"（World Economic Forum）合作的环球网络，积极促进董事们处理气候变化带来的风险与机遇。详情请浏览：http://www.hkiod.com | http://www.gndi.org | https://climate-governance.org/新闻垂询:香港董事学会王俊泳2889 1414/wing.wong@hkiod.com Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Oct 16, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) welcomes the 2024 Policy Address, delivered today by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s (HKSAR) Chief Executive John Lee.The Policy Address presents a comprehensive set of measures, ranging from the economy and trade and people’s livelihood to high-calibre talent attraction and youth development. Leveraging Hong Kong’s one country, two systems advantages, the policies will fuel the city’s continued economic growth.Dr Peter K N Lam, Chairman of the HKTDC, said: “The Policy Address highlights the Hong Kong SAR Government’s efforts in seeking innovation and change, while striving for excellence. It addresses a wide range of areas covering economic growth, trade and investment, SME support, culture and creative as well as construction and planning. Riding on Hong Kong’s eight centre advantages, the Policy Address promotes new quality productive forces and high-quality economic development.”The annual address announced various measures to reinforce the city’s status as an international financial, shipping and trading centre. Dr Lam believed the move echoes the 20th Central Committee’s Third Plenary Session’s Resolution to develop Hong Kong into a supply chain service centre: “The HKTDC will continue to proactively promote Hong Kong’s eight centre advantages and enhance the development of high value-added supply chain services. We will step up cooperation with InvestHK to set up a mechanism and enhance the interface for attracting mainland enterprises to establish their international or regional headquarters in Hong Kong and provide one-stop diversified professional advisory services to help them go global via the Hong Kong platform.”He added that the HKTDC will strengthen advisory services of its Transformation Sandbox (T-box) programme to cover a wider range of areas and support Hong Kong enterprises as well as mainland companies in Hong Kong in regard to business transformation, sustainable development and operational upgrade. Businesses are encouraged to leverage the HKTDC’s trade platforms and events to go global and explore international market opportunities, especially in the high-potential ASEAN region.Dr Lam welcomed the HKSAR Government’s SME support measures, including the relaunch of the Principal Moratorium scheme, a HK$1 billion injection into the BUD Fund and an additional HK$500 million provision for the Incentive Scheme for Recurrent Exhibitions 2.0. He believes the measures will foster SMEs’ sustainable development and reinforce Hong Kong’s role as a leading convention and exhibition hub.The Policy Address stated the Hong Kong Shopping Festival will be relaunched in the next two years to help SMEs tap into the mainland e-commerce sales market. Dr Lam said: “The inaugural Hong Kong Shopping Festival organised by the HKTDC in August this year received an enthusiastic response. Not only did it raise participants’ brand exposure, but also provided them with practical experience in e-commerce operations. We will build on this year’s success and host the second edition of the Festival next August, and in the ASEAN market in due course, to enable Hong Kong SMEs to explore market opportunities via e-commerce and social media platforms.”To help SMEs understand e-commerce marketing, the HKTDC will publish research reports and analyses on e-commerce ecosystems in different markets, such as ASEAN, to help businesses lay a solid foundation in e-commerce operations. Through its Digital Academy and Design Gallery’s (DG) cross-border e-commerce shops on Taobao and JD International, the HKTDC has been offering comprehensive support to Hong Kong SMEs to leverage diverse e-commerce and digital marketing channels to explore mainland opportunities. DG’s 70 physical sales network in the mainland serve as an ideal platform to promote Hong Kong brands in the region. As for the ASEAN market, the HKTDC’s DG Studio programme helps connect local businesses with ASEAN physical retailers and e-commerce platforms.In terms of strengthening SMEs’ brand development, the HKTDC will continue to organise some 40 international exhibitions and conferences in Hong Kong every year. We will also set up more Hong Kong Pavilions in mainland and overseas exhibitions and further enhance business matching, to support SMEs in developing their brand and tapping global opportunities.On promotion of Hong Kong's cultural and creative industries, as mentioned in the Policy Address, more Hong Kong, mainland and overseas cultural and creative products will be added to the Asia IP Exchange (AsiaIPEX), managed by the HKTDC, to facilitate cross-sector exchanges and cooperation and contribute to Hong Kong’s development into a regional IP trading centre. Currently, the platform displays more than 28,000 IP projects available for trading. The HKTDC will continue to promote cultural and creative products as well as IP transformation and trading on its platforms, such as the Business of IP Asia Forum, Hong Kong International Licensing Show and the Hong Kong International Film and TV Market.Dr Lam also welcomed measures addressing new quality productive forces, the Northern Metropolis, digital economy and silver economy, which will help Hong Kong businesses further explore opportunities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Belt and Road countries and regions.Addressing the reduction of the liquor duty rate, Dr Lam believes that the move will strengthen related trade and further promote Hong Kong as a regional wine trading hub. He added that the 16th Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Fair will be held from 7 to 9 November, which will showcase fine wines from around the world, including liquors and white wines in the mainland pavilions, whiskeys from Japan and Ireland and spirits from around the world. Fair seminars will highlight the prospects of Hong Kong’s spirits market, while Chinese liquor promotional events will help the industry seize new opportunities.In conclusion, Dr Lam said: "The HKTDC will continue to support and complement national development and the Hong Kong SAR Government's policies. We will work closely with the business community to leverage Hong Kong's advantages and promote sustainable economic growth."Media enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communication & Public Affairs Department:Sam HoTel: (852) 2584 4589Email: sam.sy.ho@hktdc.orgTo view press releases in Chinese, please visit http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/tcAbout HKTDC The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

Fleet Space seeks to revolutionise mineral exploration with its vertically integrated technology stack, ExoSphere, which combines the latest advances in satellite connectivity, 3D multiphysics data acquisition and AI to map mineral systems in real-time to streamline exploration and improve success rates for new economic discoveries.The Wongarbon Project has never been drilled, is located in the interpreted extension of the Northern Molong Belt of the Macquarie Arc, NSW, and is considered to be highly prospective for a new large-scale porphyry copper-gold complex and series of discoveries.Sam Spring, President and CEO of Kincora, commented: "Kincora and Fleet Space strongly believe the Wongarbon Project has the potential to be a new porphyry district and it is a prime candidate for major discovery. We are very pleased to have entered this innovative and multiple phase agreement. The results of our recent multiphysics surveys at our Nyngan Project are pending and the structure of this expanded partnership with Fleet Space provides unique alignment. We look forward to shortly advancing the first new exploration at the Wongarbon Project in almost 30-years with a pathway for refining and drilling true and large-scale virgin targets. This is Kincora's fifth recent partnership further demonstrating how we work with technical partners to apply industry leading exploration techniques to systematically advance, fund and de-risk our project pipeline of highly prospective porphyry targets. Further deals and partnerships are proposed for other Kincora projects and we thank existing shareholders for their support in the capital raising and welcome some good new groups to the register."Fleet Space Director, CFO and Financial Strategy & Investment Officer, Federico Tata-Nardini, said:"In a major advance for exploration in the Macquarie Arc, we are excited to deploy Fleet Space's proprietary ExoSphere technology stack and multiphysics surveys at the Wongarbon Project, building upon our relationship with Kincora. These agreements reflect a complete end-to-end deployment of ExoSphere, from target generation to drill testing on a project that offers new district scale potential and has never been drilled. Fleet Space has invested very significantly in the Macquarie Arc and established a unique knowledge of a number of the key porphyry systems and emerging discoveries. We have completed five surveys, including recently at the Boda-Kaiser deposits. Why? Because we believe there are further Cadia-scale deposits to be found and that our Exosphere technology will play a fundamental role in uncovering the next one as we continue to enhance mineral systems knowledge worldwide.Wongarbon's geological and geophysical setting is favourably located in a highly prospective area of the Arc. It has clear analogues of the nearby porphyry complexes and existing Tier 1 deposits. We believe the project is at the stage where we can add significant value and mutually share major discovery potential with Kincora."Capital Raising In conjunction with these agreements with Fleet Space, the Company is pleased to announce that it has received binding commitments for a two tranche share placement comprising 33.5m shares at an issue price of $0.038 (C$0.036) per share to raise A$1.27m (C$1.19m) (before costs) with 1:2 attaching option at A$0.075 (C$0.07) with a 2-year term (the "Placement"). The issue price is a 12% discount to the last close price (October 10th, 2024) and 16% discount to the 15 day VWAP (on the ASX).The Offering has been led by strategic investments for A$400,000 (C$373,832) by Fleet Space's investment fund, a new arms-length investor, and Big Ben Holdings, a long-term shareholder of Kincora's maintaining its 12.9% stake.Allotment of tranche 1 of the Placement to professional and sophisticated investors will take place on October 22nd, 2024, with 12.6m shares being issued under Kincora's Listing Rule 7.1 placement capacity. Tranche 2 of the Placement (comprising 20.9m shares and 16.8m attaching options) will be subject to shareholder approval pursuant to a General Meeting, with further details to be provided to shareholders in a Notice of Meeting to be lodged shortly.Subject to shareholder approval, Directors intend to purchase C$50,000 of shares under tranche 2 of the Placement with Fleet Space and Big Ben Holdings also agreeing to participate in tranche 2. Fleet Space has agreed to a 12-month voluntary escrow period.Morgans Corporate Limited acted as Lead Manager to the Placement. A cash transaction cost of 3.9% of the Placement is payable.In addition to the Placement, the Company will issue 11m accrued remuneration shares to Kincora's board and senior management under the Equity Incentive Plan approved by shareholders.Post the proposed issuances, Kincora's total outstanding number of fully issued shared is anticipated to be 291.7m with 69m total options outstanding.Use of FundsThe funds used from the Placement is intended to support:(i) drilling and exploration at the Condobolin Project;(ii) Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and gravity surveys at the Wongarbon Project with target refinement ahead of Fleet Space's right to drill a minimum of 2000 metres to earn a 20% stake in the Project; and,(iii) offering costs, working capital, new direct application license acquisition and general project generation opportunities.The New Partnership Fleet Space and Kincora have entered an agreement to commence multiphysics surveys at the Wongarbon Project with a path to asset level partnership:1) Fleet Space will have a right to fund a minimum of 2,000m drill program, with drill targets:identified and refined from the multiphysics surveys using Fleet Space's ExoSphere Discovery technology; and,mutually agreed by Kincora and Fleet Space.2) An exercise of the right in 1) will entitle Fleet Space to a 20% equity interest in the Wongarbon Project.3) The right in 1) may be exercised within 6 months of the completion of the multiphysics surveys.4) Should Fleet Space exercise the right, the parties will enter into a Joint Venture Agreement (JV Agreement). Key principles governing the JV Agreement will be customary for such stage exploration project including both parties having the right to provide additional funding maintain their respective ownership interests and dilution provisions should either party not participate in additional project funding, noting that any holder of a project interest less than 10% will have its interest converted to a 1% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty.Fleet Space is to be the operator of the multiphysics surveys, with support from Kincora, and Kincora the operator of the drilling program.The multiphysics surveys will comprise real-time 3D Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and ground gravity surveys applying industry leading technology to generate and interpret new homogeneous and primary datasets via Fleet Space's proprietary and vertically integrated technology stack, ExoSphere, and be integrated with existing regional geophysical surveys and geological data.While interpretations are ongoing by Kincora, Fleet Space and AngloGold Ashanti the multiphysics surveys have confirmed and refined a regionally significant priority target ahead of imminent drilling. The surveys have also generated a number of previously unrecognised areas of interest and potential new target areas with a final review to integrate the results of the commenced drilling program results in conjunction with AngloGold Ashanti.About the Wongarbon ProjectPegged as open ground and secured only in June 2024, the Wongarbon project (EL9652) covers 173km2 and is interpreted to host one of the last remaining untested and large intrusive complexes of the Macquarie Arc:Regionally significant magmatic complex situated on the interpreted under cover extension of the northern Molong Belt coincident with an intrusive level cross arc structure supporting a series of large and untested porphyry targets.Clear analogues of the nearby complexes and existing Tier 1 deposits in the Arc and aeromagnetic signatures of other globally significant porphyry deposits.Previously identified as a large-scale new intrusive complex target by Newcrest but not drill tested at the time due to focus on the Cadia Far East and Ridgeway discoveries.Recent interpretations support immediate high priority targets for drilling.The Wongarbon project has never been drilled.Alkane and Magmatic Resources' have recently undertaken drilling at a total of seven porphyry targets along a common transverse structure that is interpreted to extend into the Wongarbon Project and be a key control to the 14.7Moz gold equivalent inventory at the Boda and Kaiser porphyry deposits 1. These recent programs have been encouraging with follow up exploration either planned and/or ongoing at these and other regional targets 3.Fleet Space has recently undertaken regional and infill ANT surveys at Alkane's Northern Molong Porphyry Project (NMPP), including the Boda and Kaiser deposits, with analysis and interpretation ongoing. Similar Fleet Space surveys across the Macquarie Arc, including Kincora's Nyngan Project, are noted as having refined and generated multiple new porphyry targets.Further details on the Wongarbon Project, including a detailed project level presentation, are available at: https://kincoracopper.com/wongarbon-project/ (Projects/Wongarbon).Further details on Kincora's wholly owned, district scale project portfolio and drill ready copper-gold porphyry projects are available on the Company's website: https://kincoracopper.com.About Fleet Space Technologies Fleet Space is private and widely recognised as Australia's leading space exploration company.

All three drill holes are situated within the mineral resource pit, as detailed in Doubleview's news release dated July 25, 2024. These drill results not only validate the existing block model but also provide additional data that enhances our confidence in its accuracy. In preparation for the upcoming enhanced resource estimate for the Hat deposit, our primary objective of demonstrating continuity, increasing the density of data, and further improving the quality of the geological models, has been successfully achieved. The three cross sections included in this release illustrate the intersected mineralization within the Hat polymetallic mineral deposit, highlighting the mineralized blocks for each drill hole.Figure 1: Drill hole H072To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/226781_625f86a28402e955_002full.jpgFigure 2: Drill hole H073To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/226781_625f86a28402e955_003full.jpgFigure 3: Drill hole H074To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/226781_625f86a28402e955_004full.jpgFarshad Shirvani, President and CEO, comments that, "The objectives of the 2024 drilling program are to enhance the data intensity where it is warranted, identify additional near surface copper and gold mineralization, and increase the tonnage and volume of the Hat deposit. These drill holes provide important geological information and data that bridge the area between drill holes H034 and H031, H012 and H071 while verifying the block model. We are pleased to see the years of work on the Hat project come to fruition, particularly to see the continuation of long intervals of strong copper mineralization."Table 1 lists significant assay intercepts of drill holes H072 to H074DDHFrom (m)To (m)Length (m)**Cu (%)Au (g/t)Co (g/t)Ag (g/t)Sc (g/t)CuEq (%) not incl Sc*H07262.0686.0624.00.230.16640.3325.70.38incl.80.0586.6506.60.270.19710.3825.80.45incl.161.7543.0381.30.340.25810.4726.10.57incl.382.0536.0154.00.660.461120.9624.01.07incl.382.0384.02.05.002.965115.037.07.48incl.411.0536.0125.00.700.501171.0623.91.14incl.440.0502.062.01.120.791731.6223.91.81incl.452.0463.011.02.361.953453.1717.03.99H073159.0424.0265.00.160.15760.2926.30.32incl.282.0424.0142.00.250.18820.4129.40.43incl.315.0424.0109.00.290.21830.4729.60.50incl.378.0424.046.00.420.31890.6927.50.70H07495.8409.0313.30.120.12880.2526.40.26incl.148.0195.047.00.090.121060.1722.70.24incl.281.0409.0128.00.180.14820.2929.00.33 Notes:- Metal equivalents should not be relied upon for future evaluations.- Drill hole intercepts included in this news release are core lengths that may or may not be true widths of mineralization.
