愛芯元智上市 聯控(3396.HK)旗下聯想之星開年收穫3個IPO
香港, 2026年2月11日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2月10日,愛芯元智(0600.HK)在港上市,成為中國邊緣AI芯片第一股,此次IPO發行價28.2港元,盤中市值超過165億港元。作為愛芯元智首次對外融資的投資人,聯想控股(3396.HK)旗下聯想之星也收穫了半導體芯片領域首個IPO。不久前,小核酸藥物公司瑞博生物(6938.HK)和手術機器人公司精鋒醫療(2675.HK)也成功登陸港股。伴隨愛芯元智上市的鑼聲,聯想之星開年伊始已見證3家被投企業成功登陸資本市場。這家深耕硬科技十餘年的早期投資機構,正迎來屬於自己的集中收穫季。「祝賀愛芯元智成功上市,憑借智慧城市和智能駕駛雙輪驅動,他們已經成長為邊端側AI芯片平台型企業。作為半導體芯片行業為數不多的女性創業者,仇肖莘強大的學習和迭代能力令人印象深刻。」在聯想之星總裁、主管合伙人王明耀看來,通過陪伴這家半導體芯片公司從起步到上市,聯想之星對半導體芯片的投資邏輯和策略也獲得成功驗證。聯想之星投她 收穫首個半導體芯片IPO這是一個投資人與創業者相互成就的故事。時間回到2019年,判斷AI在應用層面將迎來爆發後,在半導體行業深耕二十多年的仇肖莘,選擇以客戶集中度較低但前景同樣開闊的邊緣側和端側AI芯片為切入點,最終創立了愛芯元智。在仇肖莘看來,隨著AI與芯片技術的發展,「雲邊端」三者的結合構成了人工智能的新基建,「通過建設這些基礎設施,能夠讓AI真正地深入到各行各業,然後到普通大眾的日常生活中去。」那個時候,系統佈局人工智能多年的聯想之星,也在長期關注半導體芯片。一個偶然的機會,剛成立不久的愛芯元智進入這家早期投資機構的視野,由此開啟了一段投資人長期陪伴創業公司成長的旅程。早在2019年10月,聯想之星團隊就開始接觸愛芯元智。作為中國半導體行業為數不多的女性創業者,仇肖莘首次與聯想之星執行董事張琪見面時,這位行業資深老兵便給後者留下極其深刻的印象。「她不僅擁有深厚的技術積澱,還管理過數千人的工程師團隊。」一番交流下來,張琪除了近距離感受到仇肖莘平易近人,還發現她對半導體行業有非常深入的認知,「她對AI和半導體產業的深入理解,給了我非常多的啟發。」之所以能夠深入洞察行業,離不開仇肖莘令人驚艷的職業履歷。碩士從清華大學畢業後,她又拿到美國南加州大學電子工程博士學位,並曾先後擔任美國AT&T Bell Labs首席科學家、美國博通公司副總裁以及紫光展銳首席技術官等職務。在仇肖莘的帶領下,愛芯元智很快組建了從芯片設計、驗證、質量控制到供應鏈管理的全功能團隊,核心成員均參與過10顆以上芯片的設計和生產,同時還自研了愛芯智眸AI-ISP和愛芯通元混合精度NPU兩大核心技術。「這家公司從一開始就是軟硬協同設計,擁有獨創性的算法和硬件IP。團隊算法know-how與芯片工程化能力相得益彰,突破了端側AI芯片的設計局限。」據張琪透露,聯想之星很快便開始推進對愛芯元智的盡調事宜,最終於2020年3月在線上通過了投資決策。這也意味著,在拿出2000萬元投資愛芯元智後,聯想之星成為對方首次對外融資的投資人。與此同時,愛芯元智不僅是聯想之星第四期基金的首個項目,同時還成為這家早期投資機構當時單筆投資金額最大的人民幣項目。在獲得聯想之星等投資的4個月後,愛芯元智推出了自研的第一代AI芯片。憑借行業首創的「黑光全彩」技術,這款AI芯片能讓夜晚拍攝的圖片呈現亮如白晝的效果。看到他們出色的表現,聯想之星又於2020年10月追投了這家公司1000萬元。為了成為一家平台型芯片公司,在智慧城市領域進入收穫期後,愛芯元智又於2021年進軍智能駕駛,並計劃在未來將業務拓展到更廣闊的機器人市場。在仇肖莘看來,當產品在不同市場得到驗證後,那麼就能通過相同的底層技術去持續拓展細分市場。這份多線作戰的決心和勇氣,讓聯想之星合伙人高天垚深感佩服,「雖然智能駕駛的市場更加龐大,但同時也需要更大的資金投入,不過愛芯元智在多個業務板塊都實現了很好的發展,最終讓公司體量得以快速增長。」成立不到3年時間,這家公司便成功研發並量產了兩代四顆端側、邊緣側AI芯片。他們取得的亮眼成績,也超過了聯想之星的預期。沒有絲毫猶豫,這家早期投資機構又於2022年1月拿出3000萬元支持愛芯元智。在資源對接、產品路線選擇及戰略制定等方面,聯想之星提供的幫助同樣讓愛芯元智獲益匪淺。據仇肖莘透露,雙方始終保持緊密溝通,當公司面臨一系列決策時,聯想之星都能給予有力支持。從大公司的技術高管成功轉型為創業公司優秀的創始人,王明耀對仇肖莘強大的學習和迭代能力贊不絕口,「從我們長期的觀察來看,如果一個創業項目發展得很好,通常離不開投資人與創始團隊之間的良性互動。」一路走來,愛芯元智已構建行業領先的智能計算平台,並全域賦能終端計算、智能汽車、邊緣計算、機器人等關鍵場景,同時驅動邊緣側、端側人工智能規模化落地與產業升級,芯片累計出貨近2億顆。隨著愛芯元智成功上市,聯想之星不僅收穫了半導體芯片領域和第四期基金的首個IPO,同時還在財務方面獲得豐厚回報,為第四期基金良好的業績表現提供有力支撐。「自上而下」打法 前瞻性系統佈局半導體芯片這筆漂亮的投資回報,源於聯想之星的精准出手與持續重注。對於聯想之星而言,在重投入、長週期、高門檻的半導體芯片行業擁有亮眼的投資命中率,離不開他們的獨特基因與長期積累。早在2008年,聯想之星在聯想控股和中國科學院的支持下成立,旨在發現和培養科技創業人才,孵化科技創業企業,助力科技成果產業化。兩年後,他們又做起早期投資,開始系統佈局人工智能等前沿科技。得益於「早期投資+深度孵化」的獨特模式,聯想之星通過「創業CEO特訓班」,還有中國科學院體系、國內高校和實驗室、產業公司以及海外等渠道,去深入挖掘優質項目,最終成功打造出自己獨有的根據地。「以人工智能為切入點,不斷拓展在前沿技術領域的投資廣度和深度。」在高天垚看來,聯想之星通過在各領域形成優質投資組合作為細分根據地,不斷增加認知紅利和資源積累,最終形成正向循環。沿著這樣的投資策略,聯想之星在十餘年的時間里,持續佈局了AI及AI應用、自動駕駛、半導體芯片、機器人/智能機器、商業航天、泛安全、能源科技等前沿科技方向的細分賽道。在不斷深入投資前沿科技的過程中,聯想之星也在持續加大對人工智能的佈局力度,並長期將端側AI作為重點發力方向。據高天垚介紹,判斷人工智能的發展離不開數據的獲取與算力的突破後,他們從2015年便開始佈局半導體芯片。隨著宏觀環境發生變化,聯想之星發現國產替代與自主可控變得更加重要。再加上下游場景的旺盛需求,意味著中國半導體芯片行業將迎來巨大的發展機遇。「後來決定加大投資力度時,我們還專門召開了一個研討會。」據王明耀透露,在半導體芯片行業,他們最終形成了「自上而下」的打法。結合自身實際情況,聯想之星會通過分析宏觀經濟、產業政策、技術發展等大趨勢,再篩選出半導體芯片行業具有長期增長潛力的方向和環節,最終聚焦於高價值且價格合適的優質標的。「我們在投資半導體芯片時,不是簡單地遵循『國產替代』的邏輯,而是會重點關注項目的創新程度。」高天垚直言,在半導體芯片行業,擁有新材料、新技術、新架構、新應用等新要素,才容易獲得新的機會。在芯片半導體領域,聯想之星通過前瞻性系統佈局,在早期階段,圍繞高性能計算投資了愛芯元智、圖靈量子、億鑄科技、超摩科技、智傲通;圍繞AI基礎設施投資了極刻光核、思澈科技(已被收購)、玏芯科技;圍繞AI感知投資了靈明光子、博升光電、馭光科技(已被收購)、芯感通;圍繞5G基礎設施投資了芯樸科技、比科奇、極芯通訊、頻岢微電子;圍繞第四代半導體材料投資了富加鎵業。如今,靈明光子已成長為高質量dToF傳感芯片和系統解決方案提供商,產品可廣泛覆蓋車載激光雷達及智能座艙傳感系統、智能手機等多種3D傳感器應用終端及場景……至於提供世界級的MCU產品及全套解決方案的思澈科技,不久前已被上市公司收購。此外,他們天使輪投的硅谷項目,也於2025年初被大廠並購。不管是被投的快速成長,亦或是項目的成功退出,關鍵在於聯想之星對「人」和「事」的精准判斷。「事為先,人為重,最重要的是人和事的匹配。」王明耀坦言,還是得看創業者適不適合做這件事,而半導體芯片行業適合精英創業。 「不管創業者具體做什麼事,我們通常還是會收斂到『人』這個維度。」 高天垚補充道。以圖靈量子為例。2021年4月,聯想之星在這家公司天使輪融資時,果斷投資了對方2500萬元。雖然當時不少人認為量子計算離商業化落地很遠,但聯想之星卻更看重對方核心團隊的綜合實力。在他們看來,創始人金賢敏作為上海交大量子實驗室主任,不僅是學術能力強大的科學家,還是富有創業激情和商業能力極強的創業者。此外,圖靈量子還擁有全球唯一同時具備「芯片制備+量子計算+光子計算+人工智能」技術的團隊。目前,圖靈量子已經構建了「芯片+算法」雙輪驅動,打造了「自主可控技術+全鏈條IDM能力」,形成從技術研發到產業落地的完整閉環,同時還聯合上海交大、上海交大無錫光子芯片研究院打造了中國首條光子芯片中試線。對於聯想之星而言,愛芯元智上市的鑼聲如同一聲響亮的發令槍。面對戰略價值不斷提高的半導體芯片行業,聯想之星有望收穫越來越多的半導體芯片IPO。科創投資形成新格局 聯想之星迎來新篇章在投早、投小、投科技成為行業共識前,聯想之星已在這條難而正確的道路上堅持多年。「由於自身獨特的基因,我們會重點投資有意義、有價值、有技術含量的早期項目。」據王明耀透露,目前,聯想之星作為首輪機構投資的項目比例在70%左右。在行業火熱前,聯想之星便已早早佈局。2010年,人工智能概念尚未流行時便開始系統佈局;2014年,以行業先行者的身份尋找自動駕駛項目;2015年,成為最早一批投資商業航天的機構……在可控核聚變爆火前,聯想之星也已提前入局。對科創投資的長期實踐與深入觀察,讓王明耀在2024年敏銳察覺到,新質生產力的提出開啟了科創投資的新時代,「中國經濟結構正從傳統向創新轉型,同時國資以及政府配套政策為科創投資提供了穩定的基礎。」基於這個精准的前瞻性判斷,聯想之星以敏捷的姿態主動出擊,提前加大了對科技屬性顯著的項目的投資力度。以人工智能為主線,他們2025年新投的十幾個項目科技屬性幾乎都拉滿了,覆蓋的也是深度關注的機器人、半導體芯片、低空經濟、腦機結合、新能源等方向。雖然聯想之星佔據先發優勢,同時也積累了深厚的資源,但眾多投資機構的扎堆湧入,正讓中國科創投資的競爭變得愈發激烈,也給他們帶來了巨大的挑戰。在科創投資新格局下,聯想之星給出的破局之法是——一方面,對市場尚未形成共識的賽道和項目進行提前佈局;另一方面,在已有共識的方向和領域投更新和投更精。「現在很多投資機構都在投早、投小、投科技,所以我們需要更往前一步進行佈局。」在王明耀看來,投更新,是要在行業明確的趨勢和拐點到來之前,提前對具有創新要素的項目進行預判;投更精,是要在估值上漲的前提下,通過對項目進行橫向綜合比較,優中選優。得益於對科創投資的深刻認知,以及在資源、人脈、團隊建設等方面的長期深耕,聯想之星正迎來屬於自己的集中收穫季。成立至今,聯想之星已收穫13個IPO。據王明耀透露,聯想之星被投企業上市總數量很快會達到20家,「我們每一期基金的IRR都在20%以上,前三期基金DPI已回正,一期基金DPI已超過5。」優異的投資回報和規範的運營標準,也讓聯想之星的新一期基金募資進展超預期順利,預計不久後將實現超募關賬。除了LP復投比例超過60%,他們新一期基金還獲得由國家發改委、財政部共同推動設立的國家創業投資引導基金出資,成為對方首批簽約基金。按照聯想之星的規劃,新一期基金會重點關注AI+硬科技領域,包括具身智能、AI大模型、AI應用、AI基礎設施(芯片、算力、光傳輸、光傳感),還有低空經濟、核能科技、量子信息、醫療(智能化醫療器械、創新療法)等。放眼望去,創業投資正在成為發展新質生產力的重要引擎,同時中國創投行業正在形成新的投資範式。在這場長達十年甚至更久的科創投資大潮中,聯想之星正在加速開啟屬於自己的新篇章。來源:聯想控股微空間

Changing Your Dog’s Diet May Help the Planet More Than Changing Your Own, Study Finds
LONDON, Feb 11, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Diets high in meat, eggs, and dairy products incur significant environmental costs. But a new study has revealed that, in many cases, switching your dog to a more sustainable diet may have a bigger impact on the planet and farmed animals than changing your own diet.The research, published in the journal Animals by veterinary Professor Andrew Knight, found that the average dog consumes around 13 farmed land animals annually within its diet, compared with nine for the average person--a difference of roughly 40%. This gap exists largely because a greater proportion of a typical dog's dietary energy comes from animal-based ingredients--about 34%--compared to around 19% for people.These figures represent global averages and vary by country. In high-income nations such as the United States, consumption is higher across the board. There, an average person consumes 24 farmed land animals annually, compared with 20 for a dog--a smaller difference of about 20%.Traditional meat-based pet foods therefore have substantial environmental and animal welfare impacts. However, alternatives based on plants, microbial protein, and cultivated meat are becoming more widely available. Fully plant-based, or vegan, pet foods can now be easily purchased from online retailers in many countries. By early 2026, 14 studies and one systematic review had reported good health outcomes for dogs or cats fed such diets. However, pet diets should be produced by responsible manufacturers and fully supplemented to ensure all necessary nutrients are included.The potential benefits are substantial. If all pet dogs switched to nutritionally sound vegan diets, six billion land animals could be spared from slaughter each year. Greenhouse gas savings would be 1.5 times the UK's annual emissions, and the food energy conserved could feed 450 million people--the population of the European Union. These calculations are based on 2018 data, and with dog populations growing faster than human populations, the potential benefits are even greater today.After analysing survey responses from thousands of pet carers, Knight also estimated that at least 150 million dogs and cats could realistically be transitioned to nutritionally sound vegan diets. However, because the analysis assumed only one dog or cat per household, he noted that the true numbers are probably several times higher.The study evaluated sustainable pet diets using the principles of effective altruism, a philosophy that prioritises issues based on scale, neglect, and solvability, in order to maximise benefits. It found sustainable pet diets to be highly neglected, with only about two full-time researchers worldwide outside pet food companies, and less than one percent of the farmed animal advocacy movement's annual budget devoted to it.Knight concluded that plant-based pet diets represent a powerful but overlooked way to reduce farmed animal use, improve food security, and address climate and biodiversity challenges. He urged animal and environmental advocates to look beyond a solely human-focused approach to more sustainable diets. "It's ironic", he said, "that the animal advocacy movement has largely overlooked the diets of its own companion animals."Prof. Andrew Knighta.knight@griffith.edu.auSOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

研究發現:改變愛犬飲食對地球的助益可能大於改變自身飲食
英國倫敦, 2026年2月11日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 高肉類、蛋類及乳製品的飲食模式會造成顯著的環境成本。但最新研究揭示,在許多情況下,將愛犬轉為更永續的飲食,對地球與農場動物的影響可能遠大於改變人類自身飲食。獸醫學教授安德魯·奈特發表於《動物》期刊的研究指出,平均每隻狗每年攝取約13隻農場陸生動物,而人類僅為9隻——差距約達40%。此差異主要源於犬隻飲食中動物性成分所佔比例更高(約34%),人類則僅約19%。這些數據為全球平均值,各國情況不盡相同。在美國等高收入國家,整體消耗量更高。當地平均每人每年消耗24隻養殖陸生動物,而狗僅消耗20隻——差距縮小至約20%。傳統肉類寵物食品因此對環境與動物福利造成顯著影響。然而,基於植物、微生物蛋白及培養肉的替代品正日益普及。如今在許多國家,消費者可輕鬆透過線上零售商購得全植物性(純素)寵物食品。截至2026年初,已有14項研究與1篇系統性文獻回顧證實,此類飲食對犬貓健康效益良好。但寵物食品應由負責任的製造商生產,並添加完整營養補充劑以確保涵蓋所有必需營養素。潛在效益極為可觀。若全球寵物犬全面轉用營養均衡的純素食糧,每年可免除六億陸生動物遭宰殺。溫室氣體減排量將達英國年排放量的1.5倍,節省的糧食能量足以餵養4.5億人口——相當於歐盟總人口規模。此計算基於2018年數據,鑑於犬隻數量增長速度超越人類人口,當今潛在效益更為可觀。在分析數千名寵物飼主問卷後,奈特估算至少有1.5億隻貓狗可實際轉為營養均衡的純素飲食。但他指出,由於分析假設每戶僅飼養一隻寵物,實際數量可能高出數倍。該研究運用有效利他主義原則評估永續寵物飲食方案——此哲學體系依據問題的規模、被忽視程度及可解決性進行優先排序,以實現效益最大化。研究發現永續寵物飲食領域嚴重遭忽視:全球僅約兩名非寵物食品企業的全職研究者投入此領域,且農場動物權益運動的年度預算中,分配於此的資金不足百分之一。奈特總結指出,植物性寵物飲食是減少養殖動物使用、提升糧食安全、應對氣候與生物多樣性挑戰的強大卻被忽視途徑。他呼籲動物與環境倡議者突破僅關注人類飲食的框架,探索更永續的飲食模式。「動物權益運動長期忽視伴侶動物的飲食問題,實屬諷刺。」他如此表示。安德魯·奈特教授a.knight@griffith.edu.au 來源:永續寵物食品基金會 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti Exploration Expands and Upgrades Nevertire with Drilling Recommenced
Melbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 10, 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 strong initial results and an acceleration of exploration activities following completion of the Phase 1 drilling program at the Nevertire and Nevertire-South projects. The programs are being conducted under earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (AngloGold Ashanti).Phase 1 drilling has upgraded the immediate target zone and reaffirmed Kincora's view that the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) represents the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project within the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc. Drilling has now recommenced to follow up high-priority targets advanced during the second half of 2025.In parallel, exploration activities have expanded to materially increase the search space to the south of the NMC. New geophysical surveys and a review of prior explorer drilling are underway to systematically evaluate and advance a prospective strike length exceeding 40km across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses.HIGHLIGHTSExtensive porphyry complex with multiple discovery potential confirmed: Phase 1 drilling (8-holes for 3385.2 metres, completed in 2H'2025) validated the presence of a large, highly prospective composite volcanic-intrusive complex across a greater than 5.4km strike at the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC). Drilling intesected porphyry related lithologies, alteration, and vein hosted and disseminated copper, gold and pathfinder mineralisation.Targets upgraded; follow-up drilling underway: Phase 1 successfully upgraded the immediate target zone (open in all directions) and generated strong vectors for follow-up drilling. Copper and gold grades suggest increasing proximity to one or more porphyry system centre(s) (Figure 5). High-priority infill and step-out drilling has recommenced to further refine vectoring patterns and test multiple potential porphyry centres.Scale increased to province-scale: Phase 1 results combined with a review of prior explorer drilling support a greater than six-fold increase in the prospective strike length across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses. An initial ~110km² gravity surveying has been completed as part of a planned ~400km² program. The results, together with historical core resampling, are expected to refine step-out and scout drilling targets across multiple newly interpreted Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes.Expanded scout drilling planned at Nyngan: Planning and permitting are underway to expand scout drilling at two targets at the Nyngan license along with a potential first-ever hole at the adjacent Nyngan South license.Strong partnership and commercial alignment: The Nyngan, Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Nevertire projects form part of two earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti, which has the right to invest up to A$100-million across a total of five projects covering a continuous strike greater than 100km within Kincora's Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) portfolio. Kincora currently manages the programs and receives a 10% management fee on expenditures.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, said:"Initial results have been very positive, validating Newcrest's prior analogues to the Cadia-Ridgeway and the Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry deposits and reaffirmed our view that the Nevertire Magmatic Complex is the most advanced and prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc. As a result, activities have been expanded to both follow up immediate high priority targets with drilling but also systematically advance a province-scale pipeline across a greater than 40km strike. Phase 1 drilling included large step-out holes from two previously favourable Newcrest intercepts and successfully upgraded the immediate target zone. We are very excited to have recommenced drilling, as the results indicate a new, large-scale mineralised system with the geological characteristics required for multiple discoveries.Additional scale is also emerging to the south. A review of prior explorer drilling and a ground gravity survey completed in late 2025 have highlighted significant southern extension potential, where favourable basement intersections, anomalous results, and untested magnetic and gravity anomalies remain open for drill testing.Separately, planning continues to support further scout drilling at the Nyngan and potentially Nyngan South projects. With a portfolio exceeding 2,350km² and a strong partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, Kincora is well positioned to systematically advance this unique, province-scale opportunity, offering substantial leverage to shareholders."NEVERTIRE AND NEVERTIRE SOUTH PROJECTSTarget specific drilling Following the April 2025 amended and second earn-in agreement with AngloGold Ashanti 1, a first phase drilling program commenced at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses in 2H'2025. The program benefitied from unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) and was designed to follow up two prior favourable drill results reported by Newcrest Mining and the most northern drilled holes at the NMC.Newcrest holes ACDNY005 and ACDNY006 were drilled ~2.7km apart, in the central portion of the NMC, and returned "lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 2. Kincora's relogging of these holes, led by technical director John Holliday, supported this interpretation.The Phase 1 program included large scale step-out drilling and was designed to identify and define vectoring patterns toward potential porphyry centres. This program was very encouraging in providing strong vectors, upgrading the immediate target zone, supporting Newcrest's previous interpretation and reaffirming the Company's view that the NMC is the most geologically prospective porphyry project in the northern covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc.The 8 hole program, totalling 3385.2 metres, utilised cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the relatively soft post mineral cover sequence, followed by NQ3 diamond core drilling of the porphyry-prospective basement. All holes intersected basement. Drilling to date has intersected the NMC at shallow to moderate depths, with basement mostly at ~70m (in the south-west) to a 250m depth.Step-out drilling across a greater than 4km of strike intersected multiple porphyritic intrusive phases beneath a moderate thickness of post-mineral cover - see Figures 4-5 and Tables 1-4. Lithologies intersected include monzonite, diorite, dacite, and crowded pyroxene-hornblende andesites - see selected core photographs in Figure 6. Favourable alteration and porphyry-style veining were observed, with copper, gold and pathfinder element geochemistry providing vectors for high-priority follow-up drilling, including copper grades suggestive of increasing proximity to a porphyry system centre(s) (see Figure 5).High priority infill and further step-out drilling has recommenced to discover and refine vectoring patterns toward prospective porphyry centres.Larger scale new target and intrusive complex generation As previously announced, following encouraging initial visual observations, follow-up geophysical surveys commenced in 2H'2025, together with a review of prior explorer drilling results and ground gravity survey data 3.These activities have resulted in a material increase in the prospective search space across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses, supporting a total prospective strike of greater than 40km N-S, representing a greater than 6x increase relative to the initial Phase 1 drill strike extent - see Figure 3.A gravity survey covering ~110km2 has been completed and is currently being intergrated with legacy gravity data-sets, totalling ~148km2, acquired by prior explorers. These historical surveys were variable in coverage density and spatial distribution, reflecting piecemeal target-specific objectives. When combined with the new systematic gravity coverage, the dataset is expected to support a more coherent district-scale interpretation, with a further ~290km² of gravity surveying planned in 2026.Prior explorer drilling across the southern extensions of the NMC includes 23 diamond holes totalling 7,383.7 metres, with some drillcore hosted in the publicly accessible Londonderry core library at the NSW Government's WB Clarke Geoscience Centre. Numerous historical drillholes in the Nevertire South priority area and adjacent southern targets were only partially sampled or analysed for a limited element suite, and most critical porphyry pathfinder elements were not consistently assayed.As a result, multiple historical drillholes intersecting basement, coincident with favourable magnetic and/or gravity anomalies and returning anomalous geochemical results, were not advanced beyond initial testing. Many of these intersections are now recognised to be spatially associated with interpreted Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes that remain open and untested.Resampling, re-logging and modern analytical work on high-priority historical drillholes, together with new geophysical data, is planned and is expected to expand and systematically advance the exploration pipeline, refine further step-out and scout drilling targets, and support evaluation of multiple potential new Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes.Figure 1: Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti have partnered to explore new district-scale undercover extensions of the world-class Macquarie Arc in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt via two earn-in and joint venture agreements, currently aggressively drilling large greenfield targets Kincora has a portfolio of eight active projects, including managing two earn-in programs with AngloGold Ashanti, receiving a 10% management fee on expenditures, and covering a continuous 100km strike across 5 adjacent licenses (see References footnote 7 for source data for disclosed inventory/metal endowment)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_001full.jpgFigure 2: Positive results have supported an acceleration of exploration activities, with step-out and infill drilling recommenced at the Nevertire South license, wider exploration planned to the south, and planning underway for recommencing drilling at multiple targets within the the Nyngan license, and potentially a maiden scout hole in the Nyngan South license To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_002full.jpgFigure 3: Phase 1 drilling results reaffirm Kincora's view that the NMC is the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc, with the southern strike highlighting new province-scale potential A gravity survey covering >100 km² has been completed within a planned total survey area of >400 km². This work, together with resampling of historical drill core, is expected to refine step-out and scout drilling targets and support evaluation of multiple potentially new Macquarie Arc intrusive complex targets.

Results are consistent with Newcrest's prior interpretation that the project hosts lithologies, alteration and veining characteristic of a setting comparable to Macquarie Arc porphyry systems such as Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla (Ridgeway) ²To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_004full.jpgFigure 5: Phase 1 drilling successfully upgraded the immediate target zone (open in all directions), providing vectors for follow up drilling, including copper and gold grades suggestive of proximity to a porphyry system centreInformation disclosed for Cadia-Ridgeway is not necessarily indicative of the Nevertire Magmatic Complex ("NMC"), and is provided for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate the typically discrete alteration and mineralisation footprints characteristic of Macquarie Arc "pencil" or "finger" porphyry systems.

The district has seen considerable exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 7 and an emerging gold discovery by Waratah Resources at the Spur project 8 and LinQ Minerals at the southern zone of the Gilmore project 9.Despite regional magnetics effectively mapping the Macquarie Arc volcanic belts, due to the post mineral cover, there has been very limited prior drilling of the extensions of both the Junee-Narromine and Molong volcanic belts relative to the southern more outcropping sections which hosts a number of world-class deposits and mines (e.g. Cadia, Cowal and Northparkes).Kincora's portfolio and the wider NJNB offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with magnetics, gravity and new Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) surveys, supportive of large-scale targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern section of the Arc.AngloGold Ashanti has secured Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreements with both Kincora and Inflection Resources (AUCU.CSE) ("Inflection", market capitalisation C$31.3 million) within the NJNB with over A$20 million investment to date 10. In 2Q'2025, AngloGold Ashanti moved to Phase II of its earn-in agreement with Inflection designating a total of four projects to continue earning into (including two projects adjacent to Kincora's Nyngan project) 11 and signed a major amendment with Kincora to include a second joint venture supporting a continuous strike greater than a 100kms and five projects.The most recent notable example of a new globally significant emerging porphyry district is the Vicuña district, which is also an extension of a renowned world-class porphyry belt. Vicuña is an extension of the central Andean belts in Argentina on the border of Chile and situated at over 4000m altitude.Within this district NGEx Resources Inc in 2009 held three early-stage exploration projects and at the time had a market capitalisation of approximately C$40 million 12. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded in four large-scale discoveries valued at over A$11 billion 13.Kincora was an early mover into the NJNB and has opportunistically pegged strategically important ground directly from the State resulting in a district scale portfolio of the interpreted most prospective and shallow to moderate covered part of the northwards extension of the Macquarie Arc under post mineral cover. This portfolio now covers a strike twice the length of the Vicuña district and is included in earn-in and agreements with AngloGold Ashanti.ABOUT KINCORAKincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused copper-gold explorer with a hybrid prospect generator strategy. The Company is now successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Macquarie Arc and Mongolia's Southern Gobi, two of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar Basin in NSW.Kincora is using an asset level partner model to develop and implement exploration strategies for its wholly-owned large-scale exploration stage porphyry projects. The Company has already unlocked over $100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects 13. These initial deals have supported over 16,000 metres of drilling and over A$7m of partner funded exploration since late 2024 until September 30, 2025, with management fees and exploration ramping up 14.Partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship projects that are all situated within existing porphyry camps containing over 20-million-ounce gold equivalent resource inventory.Kincora's ambition is to be the operator for exploration budgets of over $10 million per annum for the porphyry portfolio providing sufficient project management fees for the Company to be self-funding (covering corporate costs and maintenance of remaining wholly owned projects) and have partnerships with a diversified portfolio of industry leading producers/explorers. This is in addition to the various other existing partnerships where Kincora is not the operator or receiving a management fee income stream.The Company has assembled an industry leading technical team who have made multiple world-class copper and gold discoveries, who have "skin in the game" equity ownership, and, backed by a consolidated and sophisticated shareholder register. In Septmber 2025, Kincora closed an oversubscribed C$4 million non-brokered private placement of units led by leading North American investors, including Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips, and their investor networks.The share units have a 12-month hold period and there is an accelerator on the warrants - both at the lead investors requests. This raising is concurrent with a corporate restructuring and share capital roll back with only 43-million shares outstanding and over 60% of the register held by reporting insiders and/or in 12-month hold stock.The roll back and placement terms provides Kincora the corporate structure to leverage the deals, partner funding and project results already in place and to unlock significant existing value. This is starting to be realized.The new capital provides the ability to accelerate more drilling, do more asset level deals, earn more management fees, and, ultimately, supporting the ambition of more (big) new discoveries. These multiple avenues all provide further material value catalysts for shareholders.The financing also supports Kincora pursuing a hybrid project generator model and undertaking drilling at our 100% owned Condobolin project. The Condobolin project hosts a historical mining field located within the Cobar Basin and within trucking distance to an existing mill seeking third party ore. The Cobar Basin has recently seen a number of significant new discoveries (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and significant corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover of MAC, Kingston Resources receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its Misima project etc). The project and regional profiles' support the Condobolin project being an asset that a junior explorer such as Kincora can add significant value too.By having a significant portfolio of partner funded large porphyry projects, and a very focused program on a 100% owned project, the Company is seeking to position Kincora as a leading institutional grade explorer in the public Australian and Canadian markets, and the leading project generator on the ASX.To learn more, please visit: www.kincoracopper.comThis announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Kincora Copper Limited (ARBN 645 457 763)For further information please contact:Sam Spring, President and Chief Executive Officersam.spring@kincoracopper.com or +61431 329 345Laurie Thomas, Strategic Advisorlaurie.thomas@kincoracopper.com or +1306 341 3826Media contactJulia Maguire, Managing Director, The Capital Networkjulia@thecapitalnetwork.com.au or +61 2 7257 7338Executive office400 - 837 West Hastings StreetVancouver, BC V6C 3N6, CanadaTel: 1.604.283.1722Subsidiary office AustraliaC/- JM Corporate ServicesLevel 6, 350 Collins StreetMelbourne, VIC, Australia 3000Qualified PersonThe scientific and technical information in this announcement was prepared in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and was reviewed, verified and compiled by Kincora's staff under the supervision of Peter Leaman (M.Sc.
