CBL International Limited發佈2024年全年業績

吉隆坡，2025年4月17日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 4月16日，萬利集團（以下簡稱「萬利」或「集團」）之上市實體CBL International Limited（以下簡稱「公司」或「CBL」）（美國納斯達克交易所代碼 ：BANL），亞太地區知名燃油供應服務商，今天公布截至2024年12月31日的全年業績。財務表現概覽截至2024年12月31日，公司報告全年合併收入為5.925億美元，較2023年的4.359億美元增長35.9%。這一增長主要得益於銷售量增長38.1%，歸因於年內新客戶的增加、供應網絡擴展至更多港口，以及更廣泛的客戶群，除集裝箱班輪營運商外，還涵蓋散貨船舶及油氣船舶。由於市場環境充滿挑戰，公司於2024年錄得淨虧損387萬美元，2023年淨收入為113萬美元，産生虧損的原因主要是毛利由2023年的721萬美元下降25.5%至2024年的537萬美元，以及運營費用由2023年的555萬美元增加56.8%至2024年的870萬美元。公司採取以銷量驅動的增長策略，在競爭及價格壓力加劇的市場下提供更具優勢的價格。但此策略在增加銷售量及擴大市場份額的同時也導致利潤率收窄。除毛利率下降外，公司產生淨虧損的原因也來自業務擴展和生物燃料運營費用，與提升環境、社會、管治（ESG）相關的額外費用，以及利息開支的增加，惟部份被所得稅開支減少所抵銷。財務業績反映了燃油加注行業不斷變化的狀態及公司為擴大客戶群及地域增長所作的持續投資，此等措施預期有助公司於市況恢復正常時提升其長期市場地位。公司每股盈利由2023年0.045美元下降至2024年每股虧損0.136美元。現金及現金等價物由截至2023年12月31日的740萬美元增加8.3%至截至2024年12月31日的802萬美元。在充滿挑戰時期擴充業務CBL International於2024年的重點是業務擴充，尤其面對地緣政治局勢緊張帶來重重挑戰的行業環境，如紅海危機和中東緊張局勢升溫。公司的服務網絡已從 2023年3月首次公開募股時的36個港口擴展至2024年底的超過60個港口，遍佈亞太區、歐洲、非洲和中美洲。中國、香港、馬來西亞、新加坡及南韓的收入按年大幅增長。公司於毛里裘斯、巴拿馬及印度新增主要港口，進一步擴大全球覆蓋範圍。業務擴展體現在為全球12大集裝箱班輪公司的其中9家公司提供服務，佔全球集裝箱班輪船隊運力近60%。公司在歐洲的擴展聚焦加強歐亞貿易航線的跨區域服務組合，增長歸因於其在阿姆斯特丹-鹿特丹-安特衛普（ARA）地區更強大的業務據點以及2023年底新成立的愛爾蘭辦事處，提升了當地採購能力。公司亦著重客戶多元化，2024財年非集裝箱班輪佔總收入的份額增加，五大客戶的銷售集中度下降。關鍵亮點之一是公司致力推動可持續發展，帶動生物燃料銷售激增628.8%，銷量激增603.0%。在香港、中國和馬來西亞引入B24生物燃料（76%的化石燃料，24%的食用油甲酯）減少了20%的溫室氣體排放量，於2023年獲得ISCC EU和ISCC Plus認證。這符合綠色航運解決方案的全球趨勢，並將CBL定位為可持續燃料物流的先驅。CBL戰略升級了信息科技系統，落實實時訂單追踪、數據分析及工作流程自動化，以提高效率。公司亦加強了信貸風險管理，並改善營運資金管理，以增加保理設施及現金結餘，通過定價策略及港口網絡調整應對宏觀經濟挑戰。此外，CBL通過私募配售等方式進入資本市場來擴大資金來源，提高了財務靈活性，以支持增長計劃。前景樂觀及客戶忠誠策略儘管錄得淨虧損，但集團的管理層對未來仍保持樂觀，將目前的行業挑戰視為建立抵禦能力及提升客戶忠誠度的機會。在審慎評估美國最新關稅政策，以及其他宏觀事件，如地緣政治緊張局勢、監管變化及全球貿易動態變化等對經濟及燃油行業的影響時，公司相信其廣泛的全球網絡主要集中於亞洲區內及歐亞貿易路線，有助減輕潛在不利影響。由於公司在美國港口無業務，相關政策對近期的影響有限。公司港口的戰略擴張、客戶群多元化以及對可持續發展計劃的承諾，旨在當市場環境改善時帶來增長。通過投資新港口並擴大關鍵行業夥伴的關係網絡，公司的目標是確保長期夥伴關係，隨著全球貿易穩定及盈利能力改善，鞏固其市場地位。管理層總結及未來展望公司董事長兼首席執行官謝威廉博士表示：「儘管當下充滿挑戰，但我們對擴大服務網絡、提高銷售量及探索可持續發展產品的策略充滿信心。我們對新港口、多元化客戶及可持續燃料的投資持續為未來增長奠定基礎。相信憑藉我們的實力，必定能贏得客戶信任，待市場復甦時獲得可觀的收益，助力CBL於未來數年取得重大成功。」展望未來，CBL將繼續專注於市場擴張，尤其是生物燃料領域，並加強其全球供應網絡。公司致力於提高運營效率並實現可持續增長。網絡直播詳情CBL International Limited（納斯達克：BANL）誠邀您參加線上發布會，就公司截至2024年12月31日止年度財務業績作出討論。活動：2024年全年業績線上發布會日期和時間：2025年4月17日（星期四）馬來西亞時間/香港時間上午10:00-11:00 2025年4月16日（星期三）美國東部時間晚上10:00–11:00網路直播詳情：線上發布會可通過以下鏈接觀看直播。網絡廣播鏈接：英文：https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/99dbfk3g中文：https://webcast.roadshowchina.cn/K1E3N2VMdGJ6RXNRSk5pSGltNzJLZz09二維碼： 英文 普通話關於萬利集團萬利集團成立於 2015 年，以CBL International Limited（納斯達克：BANL）在納斯達克股票市場上市。我們致力於為客戶提供一站式燃油供應服務，被業內稱為燃油供應服務商。截至2025年4月 16日，我們主要通過當地實體供貨商為船舶提供燃油加注服務，遍布比利時、中國、香港、印度、日本、韓國、馬來西亞、毛里裘斯、巴拿馬、菲律賓、新加坡、台灣、泰國、土耳其和越南，共覆蓋超過60個港口。集團積極推動可持續燃料，並已取得ISCC EU和ISCC Plus認證。如欲瞭解更多信息，請到集團網站 https://www.banle-intl.com 瀏覽。前瞻性聲明本公吿中的某些陳述並非歷史事實，而是前瞻性陳述。前瞻性陳述一般使用「相信」、「可能」、「可以」、「將要」、「估計」、「繼續」、「預期」、「打算」、「期望」、「計劃」、「應該」、「將會」、「規劃」、「未來」、「展望」、「潛力」、「預測」等類似詞語來預測或表達未來事件或趨勢或不屬於歷史事項的陳述，但不使用這些詞語並不意味著陳述並非前瞻性。這些前瞻性陳述包括但不限於對其他績效指標的估計和預測，以及對市場機會的預測。這些信息涉及已知和未知的風險和不確定性，並基於各種假設（無論本新聞稿中是否指明）以及BANL管理層的當前預期，而非對實際業績的預測。這些前瞻性陳述僅供幫助目的，不得被任何投資者作為且不得被依賴為對事實或可能性的擔保、保證、預測或確鑿陳述。實際事件和情況難以或不可能預測，也會與假設不同。許多實際事件和情況不在BANL的控制範圍內。一些重要因素可能導致實際結果與任何前瞻性陳述存在實質性差異，包括國內外商業、燃料價格及關稅、市場、金融、政治、法律環境、地緣政治及其他導致燃料價格發生重大變化的事件的影響。公司沒有義務公開更新或修改任何前瞻性陳述來反映隨後發生的事件或情況或預期的變化，法律可能要求者除外。儘管公司認為該等前瞻性陳述中表達的預期合理，但不能向您保證此類預期最終正確無誤。公司提醒投資者實際結果可能與預期結果存在重大差異，並鼓勵投資者細閱公司的註冊聲明和向SEC提交的其他文件所載可能影響其未來業績的其他因素。如需更多資訊，請聯繫：CBL International Limited 電郵：investors@banle-intl.com縱橫財經公關顧問有限公司鄭松雪 電話：(852) 2864 4834歐陽蔚雯 電話：(852) 2114 4913電郵： sprg_cbl@sprg.com.hk Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

"InnoEX is a quality platform with high foot traffic which has broadened our horizons. For example, after communicating with buyers from Thailand, we learned that the aircraft could be applied to local tourism services in Thailand, helping us explore new markets. Our participation this year was very successful, and we will definitely return next year."Australian buyer Spacious Property Development Group (Spacious) looked for technologies that can help reduce hotel operating costs at InnoEX, and was particularly interested in automated delivery robots, cleaning robots, and vending machines offered by exhibitors from Mainland China and Hong Kong respectively. Angela Liang, Managing Director of Spacious, said, "InnoEX provided us with an excellent opportunity to introduce innovative technologies to the Australian market, especially now that the United States has increased tariffs, prompting suppliers around the world to actively explore other new markets."In addition, some exhibitors successfully established important partnerships through InnoEX. Among them, Philippine buyer Digital Pilipinas and International Digital Economies Association signed a distribution agreement with the United Kingdom’s exhibitor Unifi.id to introduce Unifi.id's smart card system for buildings to the Philippines, with hopes of expanding into other emerging markets in the future.

The company's International Business Development Manager, Bojia Yang, said, "In the past, the US market accounted for over 80% of our business. With the increase in US tariffs, we are actively expanding our global operations and exploring new markets, targeting Asia, Europe, and South America. We have made contact with many potential buyers from India and South America at the exhibition, and in the first two days, we received about 50 potential leads, with at least one third showing significant collaboration potential." The company is also discussing a contract for an order valued at approximately USD2.5 million.Additionally, Hong Kong medical technology exhibitor CYBERMED, is currently discussing business deals with two buyers from Mainland China and the Middle East, with each order valued at approximately USD200,000.American buyer DeWalt Mobile Solutions, which produces and sells mobile phone accessories, sourced products at Spring Electronics Fair. Its Director of International Operation, Danny Lo, said, "We are a leading brand in the US and plan to purchase products worth USD500,000 to USD1 million at the electronics fair. Face-to-face communication with suppliers during this crucial sourcing time and discuss business in response to the tariff situations with them was especially important for us."Four thematic days to explore the latest industry developments, with industry leaders sharing their insightsDuring InnoEX and Spring Electronics Fair, several conferences and seminars focused on hot technology topics were held, including the Tech-Driven Industry and Economy Conference, powered by the HKSAR Government's Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises, which brought together government officials from various countries and regions to discuss how policy measures can promote industrial development.

Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Survey shows calm before tariff storm in Q1

HONG KONG, Apr 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The latest Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) jointly published by Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) today indicated broad-based improvement in business sentiment in the region for the first quarter of 2025.The GBAI “current performance” index for business activity rose to 53.5 in Q1 from 50.7 prior – the highest since Q2-2024. Six of the eight index components rose quarter-on-quarter, and all previous sub-50 underperformers rallied back above the neutral mark, namely “capacity utilisation” (+3.2pts), “raw material inventory” (+9.0pts), “financing scale” (+3.2pts) and “profits” (+3.1pts).The GBAI “expectations” index for business activity improved in tandem with its “current performance” counterpart, to 54.3 in Q1 from 52.9 in Q4-2024. Encouragingly, seven of eight expectation sub-indices rose quarter-on-quarter, led by a 3.1 percentage point increase in “profits” and a 2.8 percentage point increase in “raw material inventory”.All the city sub-indices, be it “current performance” or “expectations”, rose quarter-on-quarter, with Shenzhen being the only exception. Hong Kong extended its rising “current performance” streak to four straight quarters, to 53.5; its “expectations” index jumped to 56.9 – bested only by Guangzhou – from 50.8 prior. Guangzhou’s current and expectation prints stood at 60.3 and 58.0, respectively, the highest among cities.This showed that GBA companies weathered the initial rounds of US tariff hikes (10%+10%) well, in part thanks to the DeepSeek breakthrough lifting market sentiment as well as the rising prospect of more policy stimulus from China’s policymakers. However, respondents’ more-upbeat outlook in February-March (when the Q1 survey was conducted) likely did not prepare them for recent events – US’ announcement of sweeping and sizeable reciprocal tariff hikes on China and most other countries.Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered, said: “Given the urgency to stabilise market sentiment following the tariff-induced sell-off, the likelihood of China cutting the reserve requirement ratio and/or policy rate (7-day reverse repo rate) in April has materially increased. We expect that both monetary and fiscal policies on the Mainland will stay supportive. Meanwhile, Hong Kong would need to ramp up short-term support to SMEs and continue to diversify its trade to facilitate more non-US trade corridors. Our next survey, to be conducted in May-June, should provide a better view of the readiness of GBA businesses to live with high tariffs.”More consumption boosts welcomedLooking ahead, 41% of respondents saw a positive impact from the consumption boosting initiatives announced by China in January. Meanwhile, 38% said the consumer goods trade-in programme would bring positive impact on their business. When asked what else the government could do to expand the consumption-supportive measures, the most popular suggestion was “relax market access for private sector and foreign investment to help boost services consumption”.Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China Research Team), HKTDC, said: “Boosting domestic demand is one of the government’s top priorities, as highlighted in the Government Work Report delivered by Chinese Premier Li Qiang in March. More than 50% of respondents have indicated that they are either already well positioned to tap into the mainland consumer market or are currently expanding or planning to expand their operations to do so. Additional supportive measures from the government could further bolster their businesses.”About the GBAIThe GBAI is the first forward-looking quarterly survey in the market that looks at the business sentiment and synergistic effects in cities and industries across the GBA. It is compiled based on a survey of more than 1,000 companies in the GBA covering the manufacturing and trading, retail and wholesale, financial services, professional services and innovation and technology sectors. The index enables investors and businesses to better understand the current business climate, gauge future performance prospects and formulate their market strategies for the GBA.Related materialsStandard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index Report: https://www.sc.com/hk/gba/gba-index-report/HKTDC Research: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTk4MDY0MTYwOQ(From left) Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered, and Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China Research Team), HKTDC, announced the latest GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) today (15 April 2025).

Kincora Copper: Second Major Earn-In Secured with AngloGold Ashanti

Amended Agreement: Kincora Copper and AngloGold Ashanti sign a major amendment to their Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement ("Agreement") for a second joint venture in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt of the Macquarie Arc supporting total expenditures of up to $100 millionKey Highlights:Multiple-phase, multiple-year agreement covering the Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Mulla projectsStage 1: AngloGold Ashanti may earn a 70% interest by spending $25 millionStage 2: Option to increase to 80% with additional funding and/or studiesThe Agreement for two separate joint ventures cover a continuous strike greater than a 100km's and five projectsKincora remains the operator, receiving a 10% management feeAccelerated Drilling Plans: Expansion to ongoing drilling at the Nyngan project and a new drilling program to commence at the Nevertire and Nevertire South projectsStrong Funding Model: Over $110 million of potential asset level funding has been secured; further large-scale partnerships are under active negotiationKincora remains on track to achieve its ambition for third-party management fees to support a self funding financing modelMelbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - April 14, 2025) - Kincora Copper Limited (TSXV: KCC) (ASX: KCC) ("KCC", "Kincora" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the execution of a major amendment to its existing agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc ("AngloGold Ashanti"). The Agreement opens the way for more extensive exploration in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt ("NJNB") of the Macquarie Arc, Central West NSW, Australia. The NJNB is a globally significant exploration opportunity offering new district scale porphyry potential.First phase drilling at the Nyngan project is ongoing with activities initiated for initial drilling at the highly prospective Nevertire and Nevertire South projects, known for their geological similarities to major deposits like Cadia-Ridgeway.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented:"We are very pleased to broaden our partnership with AngloGold Ashanti. It comes as we continue to progress our ongoing exploration program at the Nyngan project, with a ground gravity survey and hole twelve of the scout drilling program recently completed. In the wake of this second earn-in our drilling plans have been materially expanded at Nevertire and Nevertire South, and now cover three projects. However, and more importantly, we are well positioned to systematically and aggressively advance a new district scale portfolio of five projects covering over 2350km2. The contiguous five projects cover a strike of greater than 100km, more than twice that of the emerging Vicuña district in the Central Andes, which is also an extension to a known world-class porphyry belt. The revised agreement is structured in a manner which supports Kincora shareholders being carried potentially to the equivalent stage of four pre-development recent discoveries in Vicuña that have a current valuation of over $10 billion. AngloGold Ashanti is a successful greenfield explorer and while we are only now ramping up our exploration activities with them, they have already invested over $14 million in the NJNB. We are both very excited about the targets being drilled across the first three Kincora projects in 2025.While Kincora has now unlocked over $110 million of potential partner funding we see ample scope to further significantly grow this figure. The Company is advancing discussions for further large-scale partner agreements and is on track to achieve its ambition for third party management fees to provide a self-funding financing exploration model."Figure 1: The Macquarie Arc is a proven Tier 1 terrane and Australia's foremost copper porphyry belt hosting a number of world-class minesThe Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) is a largely untested extension of the Macquarie Arc situated under the post-mineral coverTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/248376_kincoraimg1.jpgProject generator funding model Kincora's asset level partner model for its wholly owned large scale exploration stage porphyry projects, commonly referred to a project generator model in the North American markets, has now unlocked over $110 million of potential partner funding for eight earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects1. Existing partners include:AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) is the world's fourth largest gold miner by production and is partner for the NJNB project portfolio (including five projects across two joint venture arrangements) 1(a);Fleet Space Technologies Pty Ltd ("Fleet Space", private) is one of Australia's fastest growing companies and is widely recognised as Australia's leading space exploration company. Fleet Space recently raised $150m in a Series D financing. It is Kincora's partner for the Wongarbon project and recently completed its maiden integrated Ambient Noise Tomography and gravity geophysical survey at the Nyngan project 1(b,c);Earth AI Pty Ltd ("Earth AI", private), an Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning explorer. Earth AI recently raised $20m in a Series B financing and is partner for the Cundumbul project 1(d); and,Orbminco Limited (formerly Woomera Mining) is a Mongolian focused explorer and is partner for the Bronze Fox project 1(e).Kincora is the current operator of the NJNB project portfolio with AngloGold Ashanti and receives a 10% management fee of expenditure.Discussions are ongoing for further agreements for the Company's remaining four (and generally significantly more advanced and/or proximal to existing world-class mines) porphyry projects in NSW, including Fairholme, Jemalong, Trundle and Nyngan West.The Company plans to retain its Condobolin project, which hosts the historical Condobolin high grade open cut gold and base metals mining field situated within trucking distance to the Mineral Hill mine (which has capacity for, and is seeking, third party ore) and within the southern section of the emerging Cobar Superbasin. The timeline and capital needs to significantly add value and advance the Condobolin project is materially less than the Company's porphyry projects.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.Nyngan, Nevertire and Nevertire South ProgramsA major amendment to the original Earn-in and Joint Venture agreement with AngloGold Ashanti now includes the Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Mulla projects, which are adjacent to the Nyngan and Nevertire projects (the latter two included in the original May 2024 agreement) and streamlines exploration across a continuous strike that exceeds a 100km's.Initial scout drilling activities at the Nyngan project commenced late last year and are ongoing. To date, twelve holes in total have been complete in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, and follows encouraging results for the first six holes completed in 4Q'20242.Looking ahead, a recently completed ground gravity survey covering over 400km2 has identified a number of new potential targets for drilling. Interpretations and discussions for potential follow up drilling are now underway with AngloGold Ashanti as the scout drilling program continues. Various coincident magnetic and new gravity anomalies have been identified at both the wider South West and Ace of Spades Targets.A Stage 2 follow up phase of step out drilling is proposed post completion of the scout drilling program.Under the amended agreement, planned exploration activities have been expanded to support a first phase drilling program at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South projects with unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km Nevertire Magmatic Complex ("NMC").Prior explorer drilling at the southern section of the NMC has returned anomalous copper-gold mineralisation, favourable fertility defined by green rock analysis, geochemical zonation and alteration suggestive of an outer porphyry system setting with age dates confirming a highly prospective Phase 4 Macquarie Arc intrusive complex (at approximately 220m depth down hole).Having secured three prior explorer drill holes at the NMC from the Cadia mine site, a review by Kincora's technical director John Holliday supports Newcrest prior interpretation that "drilling has identified lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 3. John is a foremost figure on Macquarie Arc porphyry systems having been a principal originator, discoverer and site manager for the Tier 1 Cadia gold-copper porphyry and the Marsden copper gold porphyry deposits.A priority for the upcoming drilling program is an initial follow up program to prior Newcrest hole ACDNY006 which returned a very encouraging intersection of anomalous copper mineralisation (from basement to end of hole), veining and magnetite alteration situated in a high volcanic-hosted level 3.Prior Newcrest drilling supports Kincora's view of the planned walk up drill targets within the Nevertire South project underpinning the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project within the NJNB district.A planned drilling program seeks to step out from hole ACDNY006 to discover or create a vectoring pattern to a possible deposit and also test open extensions to the NMC - see Figure 2.The drilling programs at the Nyngan, Nevertire and Nevertire South projects are expected to run into the third quarter of 2025, providing a steady stream of news flow and management fees to the Company.Key terms of the Earn-in and Joint Venture AgreementThe key terms of the amended agreement with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc, covering the Nyngan South (Exploration Licence 9708), Nevertire South (Exploration Licence 9710) and Mulla (Exploration License 9320) projects ("New Tenements"), are in addition to the arrangement in respect of the original May 2024 agreement for the Nyngan (Exploration Licence 8929) and Nevertire (Exploration Licence 8960) projects and, in summary, comprise:AngloGold may earn a 70% initial interest in the New Tenement by incurring $25 million in total expenditure on exploration in the initial earn-in period of up to seven years upon which a joint venture would be formed (Phase I). This includes a minimum expenditure of $2 million within the first two years (Minimum Obligation). AngloGold is permitted to withdraw from the Agreement after satisfying the Minimum Obligation or payment of any shortfall.AngloGold can then earn an additional 10% interest in the New Tenements (for a total interest of 80%) by completing a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) or by funding a further $25m of expenditure over an additional three years (Phase II).Kincora will initially operate and conduct all exploration activities as directed by an Exploration Management Committee that will comprise two members from each party, and be entitled to a 10% management fee.The amended agreement is otherwise on terms that are customary for similar agreements and includes the agreed principal terms of the proposed joint venture agreement that will apply if AngloGold earns an interest in the NJNB tenements.All expenditure timelines under the Agreement can be accelerated.The amendments to the existing agreement are conditional on Ministerial consent being obtained within six months.Refer to the May 28, 205 release "AngloGold Ashanti to earn-in to the NJNB Project" for details for the original Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement for the Nyngan and Nevertire projects.About the NJNB Project PortfolioThe Macquarie Arc is Australia's premier porphyry copper-gold province being a hotspot for recent corporate activity, with over $16 billion of M&A for producing assets and over $385m of exploration earn-in/joint ventures, and exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 4.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. These more mature southern exploration regions host over 160Moz gold equivalent inventory 5 and a number of world-class mines (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 (Inflection, market capitalisation C$33.7 million, >4x Kincora's 6) covering ~10,000km2 within the NJNB with over A$14 million investment to date 7. In the last month AngloGold Ashanti has 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) 8 - see Figure 2.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 9. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded in four large-scale discoveries currently valued at over $10 billion 10.Kincora was an early mover into the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt, securing 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 included in earn-in and agreements with AngloGold Ashanti.The NJNB is virgin exploration territory and offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with regional magnetics and gravity, supportive of large-scale intrusive complexes and targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern and more mature sections of the Macquarie Arc.Figure 2: First phase drilling activities at Kincora's Nyngan project are ongoing with activities initiated for initial drilling at the highly prospective Nevertire and Nevertire South projectsIn the last month, AngloGold Ashanti has moved to Phase II of its earn-in agreement with Inflection Resources (market capitalisation >C$33 million) designating a total of four projects to continue earning into (including two adjacent to Kincora's Nyngan and Nyngan South licenses) and formed a second earn-in and joint venture agreement with KincoraTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/248376_kincoraimg2.jpgAbout AngloGold AngloGold Ashanti plc (NYSE: AU) (market capitalization ~US$21.6 billion) is the world's fourth largest gold miner by production with projects and exploration activities across nine countries on four continents.AngloGold pursues value-creating opportunities, where it can leverage their existing assets, shareholdings, skills and experience.AngloGold has a track record of successful exploration with its greenfields and brownfields exploration programmes seeking to support sustainability and growth of its business.
