Kincora Consolidates Mongolian Southern Gobi Copper-Gold Belt
OREANDA-NEWS. Kincora Copper Limited is pleased to announce it has reached agreement providing for the merger of two Kincora subsidiaries with Ibex Land Mongolia LLC and Ibex Mongolia LLC ("Ibex"), entities indirectly controlled by High Power Exploration Inc ("HPX").
The transaction will result in a consolidated landholding of over 1,500km2, the majority of the prospective exploration licenses which dominate a key geological trend between and along strike from the Oyu Tolgoi and Tsagaan Suvarga copper mines, supporting an industry leading proposition of copper/gold and gold targets. HPX's proprietary Typhoon technology, instrumental in the discovery and delineation of high-grade orebodies at Oyu Tolgoi, will be available to support Kincora with its exploration efforts. Cameron McRae, former President and CEO of Oyu Tolgoi is assisting Kincora in a managerial role to oversee the transition.
"Ibex's portfolio was secured and targets advanced by former key executives of Oyu Tolgoi's exploration team and focused on 'mega scale' gold rich copper porphyry targets. The consolidated portfolio covers the majority of the Oyu Tolgoi-Tsagaan Suvarga related Devonian copper trend along the island arc trace, often with transverse structures. Such a setting, and results to date, increases our confidence that this land holding can host clusters of orebodies similar to more mature porphyry belts globally," commented Sam Spring, President & CEO.
"The merger is an opportunity that wouldn't be available at other points of the Mongolian and commodity cycles, is at an attractive scrip acquisition price, with involvement of one of the industry's leading groups who will be a new shareholder and provide proprietary technical services.
Kincora has been one of the most active copper exploration groups in the Southern Gobi for 5 years and with this transaction gains a number of advanced stage and large scale exploration targets supported by one of the largest regional geological and geophysical databases globally, which have had little or no drilling. The merger will support considerable synergies, scale and strategic appeal to our existing Bronze Fox and Tourmaline Hill Intrusive Complex targets, the recently secured Ulaan Khudag license and securing additional prospective land.
Recommencement of Oyu Tolgoi Stage 2 is a very positive step forward for this copper belt, Mongolia as an investment destination and supports the merits of this transaction."
