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). Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China Research Team), HKTDCMedia enquiriesCorporate Affairs DepartmentStandard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited Flora Chiu Tel: (852) 3843 2285 Email: flora.chiu@sc.com   Communications & Public Affairs DepartmentHKTDC Katy WongClayton Lauw    Tel: (852) 2584 4524Tel: (852) 2584 4472Email: katy.ky.wong@hktdc.orgEmail: clayton.y.lauw@hktdc.orgAbout Standard CharteredWe are a leading international banking group, with a presence in 53 of the world’s most dynamic markets.

The Company's current Chairman, Mr. John Webster, is stepping down as Chairman but will remain on the Board and as Chair of the Audit Committee.Mr. Anthon's appointment comes at a pivotal time for Euro Manganese as it advances the development of its Chvaletice Manganese Project. His addition to the Board brings decades of battery metals experience and reflects the Company's continued focus on building a strong leadership platform to support its role as a key contributor to Europe's battery materials supply chain.Martina Blahova, Interim CEO of Euro Manganese, commented, "Rick's early appointment reflects the confidence we've built with key stakeholders and our focus on execution.

His strategic vision and steady guidance have been instrumental in positioning the Company for the next stage of growth."During his tenure as Director of Corporate Development at Allkem Limited, Mr. Anthon led the company's corporate development activities while it evolved from a junior explorer to a major industry player, navigating a successful IPO and playing a key role in Allkem's A$16 billion merger with Livent to create Arcadium Lithium, now one of the world's largest lithium producers and a NYSE-listed company that is being acquired by Rio Tinto. He currently serves as Chairman of the Board at Savannah Resources, a European-focused lithium producer, as well as Chairman of Greenwing Resources Limited, which has lithium brine operations in Argentina and a graphite project in Madagascar.

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.
