- Kincora Announces Exploration Strategy Update: Drilling Planned Across Four ProjectsMELBOURNE, Sept 4, 2026 - Copper-gold explorer and hybrid prospect generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on planned sole funded exploration over the upcoming Spring and Summer field season including over 25,000 metres of air-core drilling across four projects in Central West NSW, Australia. The programs align with the Company's hybrid prospect generator model, under which partners fund the majority of exploration expenditure with Kincora generating large-scale porphyry system targets. The air-core programs complement ongoing asset-level partner discussions and are expected to add scale and value while upgrading Kincora's geological concepts. HIGHLIGHTS Sole funded budget of up to A$3-million Board approval for extensive air-core drilling seeking to systematically and cost effectively advance 17 targets across four projects (Nyngan West, Fairholme, Cowal East and Trundle) expanding existing known mineralised porphyry systems and testing of new targets. Formal process with potential new asset level partners progressing with strong interest. Kincora's net cash position is forecast to further increase in both September and the December quarter with further receipt of proceeds from the US$10-million divestment of our Mongolian projects 1. Kincora's last reported cash balance was A$12-million 2. Programs for 340 holes and over 25,000 metres Nyngan West: Maiden drilling across both ultramafic and Macquarie Arc porphyry targets. Fairholme: Seeking to expand a structurally controlled gold system at the Gateway target from a 1.6km to 2.6km strike, advance the adjacent Dungarvan target and expand three porphyry copper system targets in the northern portion of the license. Maiden drilling proposed across the strategically located southern Nerang target. Cowal East: Series of drill lines across six targets stepping out from two known intrusive systems and maiden drilling of regionally significant geophysical anomalies. Trundle: Very shallow drilling across a total of 19km2 area in the north, south and Dunns section of the project seeking to replicate the success of similar programs at the Northparkes project that have led to multiple porphyry copper-gold deposit discoveries situated within the same interpreted caldera. Condobolin update: Full assay results pending for the completed 9-hole, 2,615 metre program with localised higher-grade gold and base metals 3. Independent review proposed to confirm interpretation of a Reduced Intrusion System geological target model and refine follow up. New opportunities: Kincora continues to review a pipeline of new opportunities where it has a competitive advantage to add shareholder value including recent claim extensions of targets at the Fairholme and Cowal East projects. The Company is proactively utilising Geomorphic AI's proprietary system in the review process with thirty reviews undertaken to date 4. President & CEO, Sam Spring, commented: "We are excited to embark on an extensive air-core drilling program over the upcoming Spring and Summer field season, systematically advancing four key projects across our NSW portfolio. Our projects and targets compete for capital and resourcing. These programs are designed to quickly and cost effectively test and advance our geological concepts, add scale and value, and position the highest-priority opportunities for larger-scale exploration. Importantly, this work complements our hybrid prospect generator strategy. Following extensive independent, internal and next-generation technical reviews, we have commenced a formal process with potential new asset-level partners for a number of our more advanced and brownfield porphyry projects with strong initial interest. The planned sole funded drilling programs will complement this process. With partner-funded drilling by AngloGold Ashanti continuing, management fee income being generated and further proceeds expected from the US$10-million divestment of our Mongolian portfolio, Kincora is well positioned to fund these programs while continuing to grow our net cash position and pursue new growth opportunities." Figure 1: Kincora's NSW Project Portfolio Eight projects in total, including the Northern Junee Narromine Belt project funded by and in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti where drilling is ongoing. Recent diamond drilling has taken place at the Condobolin project, results pending, with air-core drilling proposed at the Nyngan West, Fairholme, Cowal East and Trundle projects. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/312600_795de1173497999c_001full.jpg STRATEGY AND PROJECT OVERVIEW As part of Kincora's ongoing portfolio review process, the Company's Technical Committee has evaluated the exploration and corporate strategy for each of its wholly owned NSW projects, with a focus on systematically advancing opportunities and generating shareholder value. These reviews consider both technical and commercial factors in-line with the Company's hybrid prospector generator model, under which the majority of exploration expenditure is funded by asset level partners. Kincora's role is to secure prospective ground and undertake earlier stage, lower cost exploration activities to advance and validate geological concepts ahead of larger-scale drilling programs. Recent internal and independent reviews across the portfolio have identified significant open and highly prospective areas within various wholly owned projects where extensions of mineralisation and/or open geophysical anomalies currently lack sufficient coverage to support deeper drilling. All targets and projects are ranked and compete for capital and resources, taking into account technical merit and operational considerations. From this process 17 targets have been prioritised for drilling during the upcoming Spring and Summer field season, when ground conditions and access are generally favourable for air-core drilling. As discussions with potential partners advance around earn-in and joint venture funding models capable of supporting multi-year, multi-phase drilling, Kincora has also pegged open ground adjacent to priority targets at the Cowal East and Fairholme projects. The Company is now seeking to sole fund over 25,000 metres of air-core drilling at four projects. These programs are in addition to ongoing partner-funded drilling with AngloGold Ashanti, which has been underway since the 2025 end of year holiday break. Air-core drilling is a fast and cost-effective technique for collecting basement samples under shallow cover to test and refine target areas mapping mineralisation, alteration, lithology and depth. These results help generate, test and refine targets and this technique has been a key phase in many significant discoveries in the Lachlan Fold Belt. The spacing of Kincora's programs are reflective of the nature of the target, stage of exploration at the target and seeking to gain coverage over significant geophysical anomalies to help refine and determine where more detailed and expensive drilling is warranted. NYNGAN WEST PROJECT The Nyngan West project includes a single large licence (207.4km2) with no outcrop and has not previously been drill tested or basement rocks sampled. The project is prospective for two different mineral systems and is located to the immediate west of the Company's Nyngan project which is included in an earn-in and joint venture agreement with AngloGold Ashanti where drilling is ongoing testing maiden porphyry system targets. The program at Nyngan West is expected to be completed before year end. Sole funded Kincora drilling will test two porphyry targets for potential extensions of the Junee-Narromine Belt of the Macquarie Arc under relatively shallow interpreted cover. Drilling is also proposed to test a regionally significant magnetic high, gravity low anomaly and structurally controlled extensions interpreted to be part of the Fifield Suite. These targets are highly prospective for various critical minerals including scandium, nickel and cobalt, which are often hosted on similar magnetic highs to the west of the Junee-Narromine Belt. Such settings host Sunrise Energy Metals Limited's (SRL.ASX, market capitalisation A$2.9-billion) namesake project and adjacent ground to Nyngan West. FAIRHOLME PROJECT Previous drilling by major mining companies, predominately Newcrest, has defined an extensive structurally controlled gold with base metals mineralised footprint in the south of the project at the Gateway target and several earlier stage porphyry copper targets to the north. Previous exploration predominately focused on a traditional Macquarie Arc porphyry copper deposit model rather than the recent Cowal-style epithermal gold and/or hybrid porphyry copper-gold methodology, often off the shoulders of such geophysical anomalies and with greater weighting on geochemical vectors and structure. This newer exploration model has resulted in significant recent exploration success in the Macquarie Arc by Evolution Mining at the Cowal mine, Alkane Resources at Boda-Kaiser deposit, Waratah Minerals at Spur discovery and LinQ Minerals at the Dam/Gidginbung projects. Koonenberry Gold is shortly planning sole funded drilling at its Wilga project west of Kincora's Fairholme project (and noting Newmont is earning into Koonenberry Gold's Fairholme project immediately adjacent to the north of our Fairholme project). Initial air-core and diamond drilling by Kincora has already expanded the structurally controlled gold and base metals system at the Gateway target from 600 metres to 1,600 metres 5 with the proposed program seeking to expand this a further kilometre, as well as advance the adjacent Dungarvan target. Follow up step out drilling is also proposed at three highly prospective porphyry copper targets in the northern portion of the licence, Anomaly 2, Driftway C and Manna Creek. Land access and maiden drilling are proposed across the strategically located southern Nerang prospect. Drilling at Fairholme is expected to commence immediately after the Christmas-New Year break. COWAL EAST PROJECT Previously the focus of limited drilling by BHP and Newcrest, the Cowal East project sits immediately to the east, on the other side of Lake Cowal to Evolution Mining's flagship Cowal mine and as close as 4km north of the Marsden porphyry copper-gold deposit. Like other projects on the Cowal Igneous Complex, there is limited outcrop with basement masked by relatively shallow post mineral cover. Earlier in 2026, Kincora completed a 'traditional' ground gravity survey which upgraded various targets 6, with Atomionics Pte Ltd's next generation 'quantum" gravity survey scheduled to commence in November. Kincora has designed a series of drill lines across six targets stepping out from two known Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes and maiden drilling of regionally significant geophysical anomalies testing similar targets and settings that led to the discovery of Marsden. TRUNDLE PROJECT Kincora's Trundle project is hosted in the interpreted western rift of the Northparkes Igneous Complex and with previous drilling predominately by the major mining companies returning large mineralised footprints at/near surface in the north and south of the licence 7. Recently completed internal and independent reviews have identified multiple prospective and open mineralised intrusion centres, seeking to test more optimal interplays of structures occurring along prospective zones characterised by strong gradients. Very shallow drilling across a total of 19km2 area in the north, south and Dunns section of the project is seeking to replicate the success of similar programs at the Northparkes mine and other side of the same interpreted caldera that have led to multiple porphyry copper-gold deposit discoveries, including the E44 deposit which is currently the focus of a multiple rig program and potentially the first satellite deposit to the existing mill. MARKETING ENGAGEMENT The Company announces that it has entered into a marketing services agreement with Resource Stock Digest (RSD), a resource-sector investor media and marketing company based out of Texas, U.S.A., effective September 2nd, 2026, pursuant to which, among other things, RSD has agreed to provide certain promotional services to the Company in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange (the Exchange) Policy 3.4 - Investor Relations, Promotional and Market-Making Activities.

- Sunshine Insurance Delivers Strong Digital-Intelligence Transformation Results, as Technology Empowerment Steps into a Greater LevelHONG KONG, Sept 2, 2026 - The competitive logic of the insurance industry has shifted from scale expansion to value cultivation. Against this backdrop, the role of technology has also been elevated from efficiency-enhancing tools to a strategic foundation for navigating economic cycles. As a leading privately owned insurance group in China, Sunshine Insurance (6963.HK) has released its interim results, which not only demonstrate solid financial performance but also clearly outline a digital-intelligence transformation path driven by the dual engines of “robot engineering” and “data engineering”. As of June 30, 2026, Sunshine Insurance recorded gross written premiums (“GWPs”) of RMB90.91 billion, up 12.5% year-on-year, with net profit attributable to equity owners of the parent rising 38.5% to RMB4.69 billion. The value of new business in life insurance business increased by 16.4%, while the property and casualty insurance business optimized the underwriting combined ratio to 98.7%. Behind these numbers, a deep-seated technological transformation spanning sales, services and management is unlocking sustained momentum. Sales Revolution: From “Human-Only” to “Human-Machine Collaboration” The traditional insurance industry has been heavily reliant on human resources, where the capability ceiling of the sales force often defines the upper limit of business growth. Sunshine Insurance is now breaking this constraint through AI agent technology. On the life insurance side, sales robots have been deeply embedded across the entire customer engagement lifecycle. According to the Company, the robot is powered by 13 AI agent platforms and nearly 100 vertical AI agents, covering 7 major categories and 60 to 70 sub-scenarios in life insurance sales. The system leverages big data to precisely generate customer profiles, automatically produce personalized marketing plans and communication strategies, and identify customer conversion intent in real time during interactions. As of the end of the Reporting Period, the robot has completed 263,000 instances of assisted customer management, achieving cumulative converted standard premiums exceeding RMB30 million. On the agency-team side, monthly customer outreach and face-to-face visits by marketers rose by more than 20%, the policy addition rate for existing clients climbed by 12%, and the new-agent policy-writing rate more than doubled. This means frontline agents have gained a reliable “digital advisor”, enabling systematic improvements in their operational efficiency and specialization. Practices in the property and casualty insurance segment have achieved greater scale deployment. Leveraging predictive models, the telesales assistant robot covers approximately 200,000 customer leads daily and steadily supports the daily operations of more than 2,000 agents, delivering a shift from a “scatter-gun approach” to “precision targeting”. Furthermore, the renewal prediction model, based on 75 factors, enables high-precision prediction of the renewal probability for each auto insurance customer. It supports automated quotation and differentiated operation, transforming in-depth cultivation of existing clients from experience-driven to algorithm-driven operations. “Autopilot” Moment for the Claims Value Chain Claims handling constitutes the most critical touchpoint of insurance service experience and a core link in operating costs. Sunshine Insurance’s “claims service robot” is driving automation across this sophisticated workflow. At present, the robot has expanded its service scope from auto insurance to third-party claims, bodily injury, and non-auto health and accident insurance. In the first half of the year, it served 1.09 million customers, provided over 400,000 intelligent assisted responses, and achieved a customer satisfaction rate of 98%. Notably, with the robot proactively tracking vehicle repairs and injury recovery status, the average claim settlement cycle for served customers has been shortened by 10 days. In non-auto insurance lines, such as the student safety insurance and supplementary medical insurance, pilot programs for end-to-end automated processing were launched through multi-agent collaboration. On the loss-adjustment side, pilot programs have been launched for intelligent assessment of minor vehicle damage claims. Robots can autonomously guide customers through the document upload process. The full behavioral trajectory from claim reporting to settlement can be traced via the operations monitoring platform, laying a data foundation for continuous optimization of claims service. This represents more than efficiency gains; it signifies a redefinition of service standards. Management Empowerment: Dual Leaps from Actuarial Pricing to Frontline Execution Beyond optimizing “the last mile” customer experience, intelligent transformation on Sunshine Insurance’s management side is reshaping the underlying operational capabilities and frontline execution of the insurance business. Risk pricing sits at the core of insurance operations. Built on its “data engineering” foundation, Sunshine Insurance is revamping this core competency. The auto insurance risk pricing robot has completed the construction of a dataset covering the entire process of quoting, underwriting, and claims settlement, reducing data preparation time from 5 days to 1 day and shortening time required to detect anomalies cycle from 8 hours to 1 hour. A closed-loop capability of “automated anomaly inspection + model simulation verification + dynamic solution output” was preliminarily established, enabling actuarial pricing to leap from quarterly-level responses to nearly real-time dynamic adjustments. Meanwhile, the Group has established an integrated plan covering data collection, database construction and data application, and deeply integrated 20 strategic data engineering projects into key business areas. Such foundational investments are transforming data from static resources into fluid, insight-generating strategic assets. In addition, Sunshine Insurance has extended its management reach to the front-line grassroots level. The four-tiered branch management robot empowers grassroots through intelligent agents such as “AI Little Tabulator, AI Little Advisor, and AI Little Designer”. Managers can complete the entire process of tabulation, data querying, and attribution through natural language processing. To date, this system has been deployed across 820 four-tiered branches nationwide, with a cumulative total of 621,000 pushes in the first half of the year. It has standardized and automated management processes that previously relied on manual experience, allowing grassroots managers to conduct routine management analysis at lower cost and greater speed. Conclusion From human-machine collaboration at the sales frontline, to the automated restructuring of the reimbursement cycle, and further to the systematic upgrade of actuarial pricing and grassroots management, Sunshine Insurance’s technology deployment has moved beyond the initial phase of process digitalization and entered a phase of deep, coordinated advancement characterized by a multi-intelligent agent architecture and dynamic closed-loop data. As China’s insurance industry enters a critical period of high-quality development, Sunshine Insurance’s practice offers a valuable reference case: the barriers to technology adoption are diminishing, and the true differentiator lies in the depth of integration between technology and core business scenarios, as well as the efficiency with which it transforms the operating value chain. An insurance group with total assets of over RMB700 billion has begun recalibrating its strategic direction through data and algorithms, and its next-phase growth trajectory warrants re-evaluation from multiple dimensions.
