Kincora Issues Shares for Services and Stock Options

Vancouver, BC – January 8th, 2021 – Kincora Copper Ltd. (the “Company”, “Kincora”) (TSXV:KCC) announces that it will issue 1,325,084 shares to certain directors, officers and service providers on account of services rendered on a quarterly basis (“Shares for Services”) during calendar year 2020.

The issuance of shares is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). The services shares are to be subject to a four-month hold period.

The Company’s Shares for Services plan was approved by written consent from disinterested shareholders and approved by the TSXV as originally announced November 14, 2016. This plan, and an updated plan passed at the 2019 Annual General Meeting on September 26 2019, seeks to provide competitive packages to retain and attract key executives, align senior executives and directors to the creation of value for shareholders and minimize the cash overheads of the Company.

Shares issuable are at a deemed price equal to the greater of (i) the closing price of the Shares on the TSXV on the last trading day prior to the date such Shares are issuable; and, (ii) the volume weighted average price of the Shares traded on the TSXV for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date such Shares are issuable, with a minimum deemed price of $0.05 per Share.

In addition, Kincora has granted 2,004,505 options with a three year term to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, which are exercisable at $0.445 per share within the first two year period and $0.48 per share in the final third year.
