future prices of base metals; and the ability of the Company to obtain all necessary approvals and permits in connection with the development of its projects.
Such forward-looking information and statements are based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company as of the date of
such information and statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information and statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in the
price of copper and other commodities, the inability of the Company to raise sufficient monies to carry out its business plan, changes in government legislation, taxation, controls,
regulations and political or economic developments in Mongolia, the accuracy of the Company’s current estimates of mineral resources and mineral grades, the accuracy of the
geology of the Company’s projects, risks associated with mining or development activities, including the ability to procure equipment and supplies, including, without limitation,
drill rigs, and the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risk of obtaining necessary licenses and permits. Many of these uncertainties and
contingencies can affect the Company’s actual performance and could cause actual performance to differ materially from that expressed or implied in any forward-looking

results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking information and statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the volatility of the price of copper, uncertainty
of mineral resources, exploration potential, mineral grades and mineral recovery estimates, delays in exploration and development plans, insufficient capital to complete
development and exploration plans, risks inherent with mineral acquisitions, delays in obtaining government approvals or permits, financing of additional capital requirements,
commercial viability of mineral deposits, cost of exploration and development programs, risks associated with competition in the mining industry, risks associated with the ability
to retain key executives and personnel, title disputes and other claims, changes in governmental and environmental regulation that results in increased costs, cost of
environmental expenditures and potential environmental liabilities, accidents or labour disputes.
Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in
forward-looking information and statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information and statements whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws.
Exploration target at West Kasulu, Bronze Fox: The potential quantity and grade ranges are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral
resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. For full disclaimers please refer to slide 29 of Kincora’s corporate

Mongolia
Underpinned by its rich mineral and agricultural endowments, and proximity to
Asia’s vast markets, Mongolia has a robust outlook for continued double digit
economic growth. This is subject to the continuation of a pro-investment
legislative environment, which will attract the multi-billion dollar foreign direct
investment required to realize this potential.
Mongolia is the world's most sparsely populated country, with just over 3 million people spread across an
area larger than Western Europe. In the 20th century, as a satellite state of the former Soviet Union,
Mongolia had a primarily agrarian and centrally planned economy. Following structural reforms and
privatization since the 1990s, it has emerged as a developing and peaceful democracy. Mongolia has
pursued a "third neighbor" policy which seeks to engage countries with similar views on human rights,
democracy and free markets, and seeks to expand trade, investment, development cooperation and foreign
policy contacts beyond its immediate neighbors, China and Russia.
The emergence of delivering its previously untapped natural resources to the international markets,
predominately China, has supported Mongolia becoming one of the fastest growing economies in the world,
with a relatively small absolute base (US$13 billion GDP 2018 or US$4029/capita v only US$450 in 2000).
Despite an estimated in-situ mineral endowment of >US$1trillion, Mongolia’s favorable geological potential
remains still largely unknown with limited modern exploration.
It is believed that there is significant potential for further Tier 1 copper and coal discoveries and operations
in the Southern Gobi region. This is illustrated by the Oyu Tolgoi and Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi projects, both of
which are within trucking distance of China.

Politics and democracy
In 1206, Genghis Khan founded the Mongol
Empire, which became the largest contiguous
land empire in history. His grandson Kublai
Khan conquered China to establish the Yuan
dynasty.
In the 16th century, Tibetan Buddhism began
to spread in Mongolia, being further led by the
Manchu-founded Qing dynasty, which
absorbed the country in the 17th century.
After the collapse of the Qing dynasty in
1911, Mongolia declared independence, and
achieved independence from the Republic of
China in 1921. Shortly thereafter, the country
came under the control of the Soviet Union,
which had aided its independence from
China.
After the anti-Communist revolutions of 1989,
Mongolia conducted its own peaceful
democratic revolution in early 1990. This led
to a multi-party system and transition to a
market economy.

Politics and democracy
With democracy and free markets chosen Mongolia adopted its constitution in 1992, established a parliamentary democracy,
guaranteeing freedom of religion, rights, expression, unalienable rights and this has underpinned Mongolia becoming the
leading democracy in the region with significant improvement in key economic criteria (eg GDP/capita).
The economic transition was not easy and with significant dependence on mineral and agricultural sectors seeing inherent
cyclicality, with 6 IMF lead external financing packages since.
Parliament has 76 members elected by one-seat electoral districts to serve 4-year terms and the President is elected by
absolute majority vote through system to serve a 4-year term.
All transitions of government (ex-2008) and president have been orderly and peacefully.

Economic snapshot—key sectors
Mongolia was hit hard by the sharp
decline of commodity prices and
the slowdown in key export
markets. Efforts to mitigate these
shocks through expansionary
policies were unsuccessful and
resulted in unsustainable public
debt, falling international reserves,
and lower growth.”

(effective moratorium currently in place)
 On the doorstep/within trucking distance to

KCC lost 2 of its then 3 licenses as part of the 106-
license dispute, resulting in a C$7 million impairment
and sterilisation of West Kasulu target at Bronze Fox.
KCC played a leading role in the equitable resolution of
this dispute that was achieved via an amendment to the
Minerals Law as approved by Parliament.
KCC completed a transactional and tax precedent via
the 2016 merger with the IBEX entities with a pre-closing
audit and review prior to required Government approvals
and as a condition precedent for the transaction closing.

and will facilitate strong, sustainable and inclusive growth, while protecting the most vulnerable.
A staff team of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) led by Koshy Mathai visited Ulaanbaatar during
February 1- 19 to continue discussions with the Mongolian authorities on a set of economic policies
that could be supported by IMF financial assistance. At the end of the visit, Mr. Mathai made the
following statement:
“The Mongolian government and the IMF team have reached staff- level agreement on an economic
and financial program to be supported by a three- year Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for SDR 314.505
million (435 percent of quota), or about $440 million. Other international partners also plan to support
the government’s program: the Asian Development Bank (ADB), World Bank, and bilateral partners
including Japan and Korea are together expected to provide up to $3 billion in budget and project
support; and the People’s Bank of China is expected to extend its RMB 15 billion swap line with the
Bank of Mongolia for at least another three years.
“The total external financing package will thus be around $5.5 billion and will support the authorities’
“Economic Stabilization Program,” which intends to restore economic stability and debt sustainability
as well as to create the conditions for strong, sustainable, and inclusive growth, while protecting the
most vulnerable citizens.
“This agreement is subject to the confirmation of financing assurances, the completion of prior
actions by the authorities, and the approval of the IMF Executive Board. The Board is expected to

Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking information and statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information and statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws. Exploration target at West Kasulu, Bronze Fox: The potential quantity and grade ranges are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

    3 Mongolia Underpinned by itsrich mineral and agricultural endowments, and proximity to Asia’s vast markets, Mongolia has a robust outlook for continued double digit economic growth. This is subject to the continuation of a pro-investment legislative environment, which will attract the multi-billion dollar foreign direct investment required to realize this potential. Mongolia is the world's most sparsely populated country, with just over 3 million people spread across an area larger than Western Europe. In the 20th century, as a satellite state of the former Soviet Union, Mongolia had a primarily agrarian and centrally planned economy. Following structural reforms and privatization since the 1990s, it has emerged as a developing and peaceful democracy. Mongolia has pursued a "third neighbor" policy which seeks to engage countries with similar views on human rights, democracy and free markets, and seeks to expand trade, investment, development cooperation and foreign policy contacts beyond its immediate neighbors, China and Russia. The emergence of delivering its previously untapped natural resources to the international markets, predominately China, has supported Mongolia becoming one of the fastest growing economies in the world, with a relatively small absolute base (US$13 billion GDP 2018 or US$4029/capita v only US$450 in 2000). Despite an estimated in-situ mineral endowment of >US$1trillion, Mongolia’s favorable geological potential remains still largely unknown with limited modern exploration. It is believed that there is significant potential for further Tier 1 copper and coal discoveries and operations in the Southern Gobi region. This is illustrated by the Oyu Tolgoi and Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi projects, both of which are within trucking distance of China.

    6 Politics and democracy In1206, Genghis Khan founded the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous land empire in history. His grandson Kublai Khan conquered China to establish the Yuan dynasty. In the 16th century, Tibetan Buddhism began to spread in Mongolia, being further led by the Manchu-founded Qing dynasty, which absorbed the country in the 17th century. After the collapse of the Qing dynasty in 1911, Mongolia declared independence, and achieved independence from the Republic of China in 1921. Shortly thereafter, the country came under the control of the Soviet Union, which had aided its independence from China. After the anti-Communist revolutions of 1989, Mongolia conducted its own peaceful democratic revolution in early 1990. This led to a multi-party system and transition to a market economy.

    7 Politics and democracy Withdemocracy and free markets chosen Mongolia adopted its constitution in 1992, established a parliamentary democracy, guaranteeing freedom of religion, rights, expression, unalienable rights and this has underpinned Mongolia becoming the leading democracy in the region with significant improvement in key economic criteria (eg GDP/capita). The economic transition was not easy and with significant dependence on mineral and agricultural sectors seeing inherent cyclicality, with 6 IMF lead external financing packages since. Parliament has 76 members elected by one-seat electoral districts to serve 4-year terms and the President is elected by absolute majority vote through system to serve a 4-year term. All transitions of government (ex-2008) and president have been orderly and peacefully. Notable democratic milestones—Presidents 1990 1997 2005 2009 2017 Ochirbat P. (2 terms) Elbegdori Ts.
