Commentary

Sampling techniques

• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. 
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. 
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. 
• In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information

Drilling techniques

• Historic drilling on Kincora projects used a variety of methods including mechanical auger drilling, reverse circulation, and diamond core.
• Mechanical auger basement sampling program was completed at the Andrews, Bakers Swamp, Gowan Green, Mehruda and Mehruda Mo Anomaly prospects. They were drilled at 75m spacing along 200m spaced NE-SW orientated lines, with an average refusal depth of 2.4m.
• 6 inch RC holes were drilled at Andrews, Mehruda Mine and Mehruda Mo Anomaly prospect areas with 300.1m maximum depth.
• Diamond drill holes were conducted with size of HQ3 and NQ2 at Mehruda Mo Anomaly prospect with 424.8m maximum depth.

Drill sample recovery

• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

Logging

• Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.
• The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

Rock sampling program:

• A short geological description was taken at each sample point.
• The description is qualitative and includes lithology, alteration and mineralization.
• Drilling program:
• All historical diamond holes are geologically logged for their entire length including lithology, alteration, mineralisation, veining and structure.
• All core is photographed.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

Rock and soil sampling program:

• The sample preparation for both rock and soil follows industry best practise involving oven drying, crushing and pulverisation.
• Drilling program:
• Two metre composite samples were taken from the RC drilling.
• Where favourable levels of sulphides were seen in RC chips, 1m re-splits were taken of the selected interval.
• Once all geological information was extracted from the drill core, the sample intervals were cut with core saw, bagged and delivered to the laboratory.
• One metre half-core samples were taken from the diamond drilling.
• No duplicate samples were taken.

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Rock sampling program:

Soil sampling program:

• Certified reference materials and blanks are introduced into the sample stream after every 20 samples analysed, to ensure QAQC of the XRF analysis.
• The soil samples were submitted to ALS Orange and tested by Multi-Element Mass Spectrometry (ME-MS43i) for Au, Ag, Al, As, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, S, Sb, Se, Sn, Te, Tl, W and Zn. A certified reference material (standard) was also included for every 40 samples submitted.

• Logging data is captured manually and stored in a digital database.
• Assay data is received from the laboratory in electronic format and uploaded to the master database.
• No adjustments to assay data have been made

Location of data points

• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

• A handheld GPS was used to locate each sample point. Accuracy of +/- 5m is considered reasonable.
• Collar positions are set up using a hand-held GPS.
• Drillholes are surveyed downhole every 30m using an electronic multi-shot magnetic instruments, such as Ranger Survey for Diamond holes and Camteq Proshot for RC holes.
• Grid system used is the Map Grid of Australia Zone 55, GDA 94 datum.

Data spacing and distribution

• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been applied.

• Regional soil sampling at entire project area was collected across a grid spaced at 250 x 250m.

• Mechanical auger sampling program was drilled at 75m spacing along 200m spaced NE-SW orientated lines.
• Other historic drilling on Cundumbul project was completed at various drill hole spacings and no other projects have spacing sufficient to establish a mineral resource.

Orientation of data in relation to geological structure

• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

Geology

• The project lies halfway between the Cadia and Boda Cu-Au porphyries within the central Molong Belt of the Ord Macquarie Arc, East Lachlan, NSW. It is located on the intersection of a major N-S striking arc parallel and NW-SE striking cross arc structural corridors (Press Release, 29^th April 2021, Sultan Resources Ltd).
  The Lachlan Orogen is approximately 700 km wide and 1000 km long and has disputed complex evolutionary history. The Macquarie Arc is part of the eastern sub-province of the Lachlan Orogen and is the host to numerous porphyry Au-Cu deposits. It consists mainly of subduction-related Ordovician intermediate and mafic volcanic, volcaniclastic and associated intrusive rocks and was accreted to Gondwana in the Early Silurian, and underwent rifting and burial in the Middle to Late Silurian.
  It consists of four structural belts, namely, the western (Junee-Narromine), the central (Molong), the eastern (Rockley-Gulgong) Belt, and southern (Kiandra) volcanic belts. These belts have most likely been formed by rifting and dismemberment of a single arc, which developed along the boundary between the Australian and proto-Pacific plates during the Ordovician and was subsequently dismembered during the Silurian.
  An entirely intra-oceanic setting is postulated for the Macquarie Arc (Crawford et al., 2007), with four phases of arc-type magmatism, the earliest in the Early Ordovician, and culminating in the Late Ordovician to Early Silurian. The four phases of volcanism in the Macquarie Arc relate to distinct groups of porphyritic intrusions that vary from monzodiorite-diorite through monzonite-granodiorite compositions and correspond with porphyry copper­gold and epithermal gold-silver mineralisation

Lithology
The Big Hill target exhibits features consistent with an Alkalic intrusive complex, with mineralogy and textures typical of the Cadia Intrusive Complex, including outcropping monzogabbro, diorite, monzodiorite & mafic monzonite porphyry dykes and small plugs or 'apophyses'.
Intrusives have intruded interpreted Cadia and Boda equivalent stratigraphy being the Late Ordovician Oakdale Volcanics, including an upper volcanic dominant and lower volcano-sedimentary package equivalent to the Forest Reef Volcanics & Weemalla Fm at Cadia and Kaiser Volcanics & Bodangora Fm at Boda.
An upper sequence consisting of basalt, andesite, trachyte & latite lavas, volcaniclastics and sub volcanic intrusions including feldspar-pyroxene porphyry dykes has been recognised. The lower sequence dominated by finely laminated, interbedded, volcaniclastic siltstones and sandstones, with localised skarn horizons.

• The geology of the area comprises N-striking fault-bounded slices of Ordovician, Silurian and Devonian rocks. The main bounding structures are major E-dipping thrusts of regional extent. One of these, the Neurea Fault, brings Silurian Mumbil Group sedimentary rocks and Devonian Cuga Burga Volcanics and the youngest Ordovician units in the hanging wall, into contact with Early Ordovician Mitchell Formation and Hensleigh Siltstone in the footwall. The Narragal Fault is the bounding E-dipping thrust on the eastern side of the Molong Volcanic Belt (MVB).
• Kincora is exploring for porphyry-style copper and gold mineralisation, copper-gold skarn plus related high sulphidation and epithermal gold systems.

Drill hole Information

• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:
• easting and northing of the drill hole collar
• elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
• dip and azimuth of the hole
• down hole length and interception depth
• hole length.
• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

• Kincora is yet to undertake drilling at Cundumbul.

prospectus

Data aggregation methods

• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths

• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true width not known').

• Due to the uncertainty of mineralisation orientation, the true width of mineralisation is not known at Cundumbul.
• Intercepts from historic drilling reported at other projects are also of unknown true width.
