Kincora Copper Ltd. (TSX-V: KCC)(OTCQB: BZDLF)(ASX: KCC) — currently trading around C$0.85 per share in a strong copper market — is accelerating exploration across its copper-gold portfolio in New South Wales, Australia, following a significant increase in drill funding from its JV partner AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU).
The expanded drill program targets the high-priority Cookara prospect within Kincora’s Nevertire South project where encouraging exploration results have strengthened the case for a much larger porphyry copper-gold system.
AngloGold has increased its 2026 exploration budget under its Kincora earn-in agreements to approximately A$6 million, supporting drilling now underway at Cookara with up to three additional holes planned including what’s expected to be the deepest hole to date at the project.
John Holliday, Technical Committee Chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration at Kincora Copper, commented via press release:
“We are excited by the technical merits, and additional 2026 funding support by our partner AngloGold Ashanti, to accelerate drill testing the newly named and refined Cookara target. A further program for up to three-holes has recently commenced and is following up strong vectors. This year's activities at the Nevertire South licence have very significantly accelerated and successfully upgraded Kincora's exploration thesis, both the immediate Cookara target and case for much larger province-scale potential. The expectation for the end of the year is to test this initial high-priority target, coupled with refining a large-scale systematic campaign with our partner AngloGold Ashanti to advance a pipeline of advanced targets to maiden drill holes across the wider Nevertire project.”
Under the JV with AngloGold Ashanti, Kincora remains the operator and earns a 10% management fee on exploration expenditures. The agreements provide up to A$100 million in potential funding across five licenses spanning more than 100 km of prospective terrain.
Kincora has secured an option on the underexplored Boree Creek copper-gold project, also in NSW, Australia, adding yet another promising porphyry target to its growing portfolio. The project hosts outcropping copper-gold mineralization and historical drilling results that KCC plans to follow up with modern exploration.
Importantly, Kincora is increasing exploration activity and expanding its NSW portfolio while strengthening its treasury to roughly A$14 million through the divestment of its Mongolian assets.
Key catalysts heading into 2027 include:
- Cookara: Accelerated AngloGold-funded drilling and follow-up results
- Boree Creek: Initial drilling at Dairy Hill to follow up on historical copper-gold results
- Portfolio-wide exploration: Drilling planned across six NSW projects over the next six months
- New partnerships: Potential asset-level deals across KCC’s expanding portfolio
With a solid treasury, major-funded drilling, and an expanding pipeline of copper-gold targets across the portfolio, Kincora Copper enters the final stretch of 2026 with significant momentum and multiple opportunities to unlock new discoveries via the drill bit.
