Milestones: Transformational last 6 months
Foundations set by the following milestones:
� IBEX scrip/share transaction closed (announced May, closed Nov’16): HPX becomes Kincora shareholder
� Deleveraging and recapitalization: Two private placements and two debt conversions
� Tightened corporate structure: 10:1 share consolidation
� New Technical Team: multiple discovery of Tier 1 gold rich copper porphyries
� Aligned to shareholders: New remuneration structures (70:30 share/cash)
� Strengthened board to reflect refined strategy: previous exploration and expansion success
� Exploration advanced: New priority exploration targets advanced, geological models presented
� New exploration license: issued directly from Mongolian Government application process
� Turn in the commodity cycle: copper price increase >30%, re-rating of successful exploration plays
� Changing investor sentiment towards Mongolia: parliamentary election, OT Stage 2 and exploration success of other juniors (ERD.CN & XAM.AU >$100m market caps, with C$12m bought deal and A$12.2m placement)
What drives value in 2017
for Kincora?
1. Advance existing projects along development pipeline:
• Drill testing two priority target areas (East TS and Bayan Tal) which provide analogies to the existing two large scale mines in belt
• Advancing existing earlier stage prospects
• Drop ground which does not fit our target exploration profile
2. Further corporate opportunities
to access additional ground/more advanced projects

“TS style” target: Field work advancing geology before drilling
• Favorable structural setting: Magnetics supports geology that East TS sits on the western margin of the TS Intrusive Complex
(TS SS open pit sitting on the eastern margin)
• Open pit target: Mapping in 2016 identified
outcrop for the first time. Mapping, magnetics and remote sensing suggests proximity of bedrock under shallow cover
• Scale: Geological mapping currently being extended to the south post positive magnetic results, better understanding existing weak
copper anomalies and areas of potential outcrop
• Drilling: 2017 field season likely to see shallow drilling undercover to bedrock similar to Xanadu’s recent activities at Kharmagtai

“OT style” target: Bayan Tal Igneous Complex (BTIC)
� Drill ready “Oyu Tolgoi Style” Devonian target: Advanced geology and geophysics supports large scale, shallow to moderate depth copper-gold porphyry targets
� One of the most significant untested complexes in the belt: large and deep-seated arc-parallel/transverse structures, similar to Oyu Tolgoi, Tsagaan Suvarga and many world class porphyry deposits
� Devonian stratigraphy: Interpreted general setting is Carboniferous overlying Late Devonian arc volcanics under conglomerate marker, only other confirmed similar stratigraphy to OT in belt to date
� Is mineralized: Trenching and drilling on Southern margin of the intrusive complex in Carboniferous sequence intersected broad zones of distal copper-gold porphyry mineralization
� IBEX006: 18m @ 0.66% Cu Eq
� Trench: 18m @ 0.75% Cu Eq
� Large scale intrusive: Previous drilling targeted Induced Polarization anomalies without coincident magnetics on the margin of the intrusion; focus now is to test magnetic targets that indicated potential for large scale mineralized intrusions in interpreted Devonian stratigraphy
One of the best candidates for a new Tier 1 porphyry discovery in the Southern Gobi

Pipeline: Advancing a portfolio of targets along the value curve
• Technically solid, proven exploration: replicate the systematic approach successfully applied in discovering similar profile Tier 1 gold rich copper porphyry discoveries in Mongolia and elsewhere
• Scale potential: Portfolio supports advancement of Oyu Tolgoi and Tsagaan Suvarga analogues, and/or traditional gold rich finger type porphyries
• Shallow-moderate depth: Focus leading edge of half grabens and/or uplifted fault blocks with out-subcrop providing geological window to moderate depths
• Pipeline: high quality, ranked exploration targets between and on strike from the two mines in the belt
• Active exploration: Drop ground which doesn’t fit our target exploration profile

§ Discovery of an attractive project results in multiple of return (not single digit percentages of return)
§ Multiple of rerating depends on:
i. Scale of discovery (regional/Tier 1 can support >30-100x); and
ii. Time in the commodity cycle All pricing and information as at Jan 31st, 2017
Discoveries result in multiples of return (through the cycle) Increasing signs of improving investor sentiment towards exploration and a new commodity cycle

Appendix — Exploration: Greatest valuation creation stage in mining

Appendix — Top down: Position in the cycle/sector Lack of “new” copper opportunities in the sector – 2 excellent examples of new advanced exploration plays:
i. Return of competitive tension for potential Tier 1 projects illustrated in recent SolGold private placement & on-market
acquisition of shares
(AIM code: SOLG; >20x in 12mths; £600m market cap; US$33m raised Sep’16)
ii. HPX strategic investment in “post discovery” San Matias project with in Cordoba Minerals
(TSXV code: CDB; >14x post HPX investment; C$130m market cap)
� End of previous commodity cycle (12 mth resource sector % performance and outperformance with increasing liquidity and deal flow/financings)
� Exploration sector provides highest beta to new cycle (Coupled with >5 years declining exploration expenditure, declining discovery rates, record production/reserve depletion)
� Copper price has underperformed most industrial metals (Supply side surplus since 2011 driven by a handful of new projects - at peak- but facing declining grades/increasing capital intensity & production “shock” risk – eg Chile, Indonesia, DRC, Philippians etc)
� Favorable structural outlook for copper: “we anticipate it will be the first mineral commodity in our portfolio to return to fundamental market balance” - BHPB, Oct’16 (M&A through the cycle and overweight exploration budgets reflect the industries view of incentive/future pricing)
� Industry focus continues to be porphyry deposits (long life, low opex, lower technical risk) )
� Gold systems preferred to moly (Copper-gold porphyries benefit to copper-moly systems from higher by-product credits)
� Limited under-explored copper frontiers (relatively favorable jurisdiction risk - DRC, Philippines, PNG, Indonesia, Myanmar v Mongolia)
� Lack of industry players and exploration teams/portfolios (historically Kincora had >10 NDAs with industry players when owning only one license, now only Rio Tinto and TRQ left in Mongolia, but new entrants doing DD)

Appendix — Strategic appeal: Dominant position
1 BD Sec JSC June 9th, 2016 research report “The South Gobi Land Grab”
Many leading geologists view the South Gobi Desert as the most prospective ground for copper mining in the world today” 1
“
Same size landmass in Northern Chile there are:
i. >15 current large mines
ii. Producing ~2Mtpa Cu (~11% of global production)
Oyu Tolgoi, the world’s most significant copper discovery/project of the past 25 years” 1 “

Appendix — Exploration potential: Analogous to Chile from >1970s
Blue square—same landmass size of Southern Gobi to Northern Chile
“With continued exploration there is excellent potential to discover new porphyry deposits … associated with the world-class OT mineralized trend”
Robert Friedland (Mar’11)
>US$75m of recent in-the-ground commitments for a comparable geological exploration portfolio (similar land mass to Kincora) in Northern Chile

Appendix — Competing expansion strategies: Not alone in an increasingly active region
� Belt is significantly less crowded and new licenses are being issued again (after 5 year moratorium)
� Advances in exploration techniques, technology and understanding of the belt
� Rio Tinto related entities expanding land position surrounding Oyu Tolgoi; MAK with new drill targets at Tsagaan Suvarga
� Commodity cycle has given Kincora the opportunity to consolidate its position; post IBEX merger a 100% interest in the dominant land position in the belt
� New entrants again doing DD

It seems obvious to us that RIO/TRQ will aggressively pursue exploration licenses ahead of what may prove to be an epic land grab, which would mitigate future competition in the region”1 “
