VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Apr 23, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Kincora Copper LimitedCA:KCC -7.41% ("Kincora") - Further to its news releases of March 15, 2012 and January 16, 2012, Kincora is please to announce the closing of the transaction (the "Transaction") contemplated by the share exchange agreement (the "Agreement") with Temujin Mining Corp. ("Temujin"), a closely held private company, to acquire 100% of the shares of Golden Grouse LLC ("Golden Grouse"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Temujin.

On closing, Temujin retained 1,516,545 Kincora shares and paid by dividend the remaining shares to its shareholders in accordance with their pro rata holdings of Temujin common shares. Upon the discovery within 4 years of closing of the Transaction of a minimum of 1 million ounces of inferred gold resources or gold equivalent (being the value of other metals expressed as gold ounces based on the 3 year trailing average prices of gold and such other metals) classified as "Inferred Mineral Resources", or a higher resource category for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Products within the Properties acquired, Kincora will issue a further 15 million shares (the "Bonus Shares") to Temujin.

Kincora now has one of the largest land holdings along the highly prospective copper belt hosting Oyu Tolgoi." Mr. Kovarsky further commented, "Tourmaline Hills is a mid-stage exploration tenement with a number of significant gold targets. Our 2012 exploration and drilling program which starts this week have been adjusted accordingly placing Kincora in a strong position to identify both a significant copper-gold and gold deposit this year."
