Vancouver, BC — December 14th, 2020
Kincora Copper Ltd. (the “Company”, “Kincora”) (TSXV:KCC) is pleased to announce a binding Option and Acquisition Agreement (“Agreement”) with Resilience Mining Mongolia Pty Ltd (“RMM”). RMM is a private Australian company that is an active explorer and project generator in Mongolia, lead by an executive team and board with extensive in-country Mongolia experience.
The Agreement provides RMM a period of exclusivity, paid for in monthly cash instalments, to complete due diligence, legal agreements and capital market activities. Kincora’s Mongolian asset portfolio includes the Bronze Fox mining license, neighbouring Tourmaline Hills exploration license and Red Well exploration license (“Mongolia Portfolio”). RMM will also secure the Southern Gobi “White Pearl” camp, and access to Kincora’s proprietary project generation database and Mongolian based exploration and administration teams.
Upon RMM having raised a minimum of A$6 million in new equity, listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) and exercise of the option, Kincora will retain a 20% effective free carried asset level interest for Kincora’s existing Mongolia portfolio until certain project milestones, have the right of first refusal for a 20% effective asset level interest in any new Mongolian projects, a 9.9% stake in RMM and the right to a board seat. The shares will be subject to a 12-month voluntary escrow period.
Cameron McRae, Kincora’s chairman, commented: “Having commenced a strategic review for the Mongolia portfolio following the award of a mining license for Bronze Fox in September, we are very pleased to have signed this binding term sheet with RMM.
The framework provides attractive upside to Kincora, backing a well-motivated group, advancing an attractive portfolio and project generation strategy. The deal also enables Kincora to focus on our district scale pipeline and ongoing drilling activities in NSW, Australia.
RMM are a very reputable group, well known to Kincora, who have been active on the ground in Mongolia since 2015. We look forward to working with Mark Stewart, Peter Reynolds and the RMM team in completing this transaction but also advancing the inherent value of our Mongolian portfolio and their Mongolia strategy”.
