LONDON, Feb 11, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Diets high in meat, eggs, and dairy products incur significant environmental costs. But a new study has revealed that, in many cases, switching your dog to a more sustainable diet may have a bigger impact on the planet and farmed animals than changing your own diet.The research, published in the journal Animals by veterinary Professor Andrew Knight, found that the average dog consumes around 13 farmed land animals annually within its diet, compared with nine for the average person--a difference of roughly 40%. This gap exists largely because a greater proportion of a typical dog's dietary energy comes from animal-based ingredients--about 34%--compared to around 19% for people.These figures represent global averages and vary by country. In high-income nations such as the United States, consumption is higher across the board. There, an average person consumes 24 farmed land animals annually, compared with 20 for a dog--a smaller difference of about 20%.Traditional meat-based pet foods therefore have substantial environmental and animal welfare impacts. However, alternatives based on plants, microbial protein, and cultivated meat are becoming more widely available. Fully plant-based, or vegan, pet foods can now be easily purchased from online retailers in many countries. By early 2026, 14 studies and one systematic review had reported good health outcomes for dogs or cats fed such diets. However, pet diets should be produced by responsible manufacturers and fully supplemented to ensure all necessary nutrients are included.The potential benefits are substantial. If all pet dogs switched to nutritionally sound vegan diets, six billion land animals could be spared from slaughter each year. Greenhouse gas savings would be 1.5 times the UK's annual emissions, and the food energy conserved could feed 450 million people--the population of the European Union. These calculations are based on 2018 data, and with dog populations growing faster than human populations, the potential benefits are even greater today.After analysing survey responses from thousands of pet carers, Knight also estimated that at least 150 million dogs and cats could realistically be transitioned to nutritionally sound vegan diets. However, because the analysis assumed only one dog or cat per household, he noted that the true numbers are probably several times higher.The study evaluated sustainable pet diets using the principles of effective altruism, a philosophy that prioritises issues based on scale, neglect, and solvability, in order to maximise benefits. It found sustainable pet diets to be highly neglected, with only about two full-time researchers worldwide outside pet food companies, and less than one percent of the farmed animal advocacy movement's annual budget devoted to it.Knight concluded that plant-based pet diets represent a powerful but overlooked way to reduce farmed animal use, improve food security, and address climate and biodiversity challenges. He urged animal and environmental advocates to look beyond a solely human-focused approach to more sustainable diets. "It's ironic", he said, "that the animal advocacy movement has largely overlooked the diets of its own companion animals."Prof. Andrew Knighta.knight@griffith.edu.auSOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Melbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 10, 2026) - Copper-gold explorer and hybrid prospect generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on strong initial results and an acceleration of exploration activities following completion of the Phase 1 drilling program at the Nevertire and Nevertire-South projects. The programs are being conducted under earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (AngloGold Ashanti).Phase 1 drilling has upgraded the immediate target zone and reaffirmed Kincora's view that the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) represents the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project within the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc. Drilling has now recommenced to follow up high-priority targets advanced during the second half of 2025.In parallel, exploration activities have expanded to materially increase the search space to the south of the NMC. New geophysical surveys and a review of prior explorer drilling are underway to systematically evaluate and advance a prospective strike length exceeding 40km across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses.HIGHLIGHTSExtensive porphyry complex with multiple discovery potential confirmed: Phase 1 drilling (8-holes for 3385.2 metres, completed in 2H'2025) validated the presence of a large, highly prospective composite volcanic-intrusive complex across a greater than 5.4km strike at the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC). Drilling intesected porphyry related lithologies, alteration, and vein hosted and disseminated copper, gold and pathfinder mineralisation.Targets upgraded; follow-up drilling underway: Phase 1 successfully upgraded the immediate target zone (open in all directions) and generated strong vectors for follow-up drilling. Copper and gold grades suggest increasing proximity to one or more porphyry system centre(s) (Figure 5). High-priority infill and step-out drilling has recommenced to further refine vectoring patterns and test multiple potential porphyry centres.Scale increased to province-scale: Phase 1 results combined with a review of prior explorer drilling support a greater than six-fold increase in the prospective strike length across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses. An initial ~110km² gravity surveying has been completed as part of a planned ~400km² program. The results, together with historical core resampling, are expected to refine step-out and scout drilling targets across multiple newly interpreted Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes.Expanded scout drilling planned at Nyngan: Planning and permitting are underway to expand scout drilling at two targets at the Nyngan license along with a potential first-ever hole at the adjacent Nyngan South license.Strong partnership and commercial alignment: The Nyngan, Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Nevertire projects form part of two earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti, which has the right to invest up to A$100-million across a total of five projects covering a continuous strike greater than 100km within Kincora's Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) portfolio. Kincora currently manages the programs and receives a 10% management fee on expenditures.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, said:"Initial results have been very positive, validating Newcrest's prior analogues to the Cadia-Ridgeway and the Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry deposits and reaffirmed our view that the Nevertire Magmatic Complex is the most advanced and prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc. As a result, activities have been expanded to both follow up immediate high priority targets with drilling but also systematically advance a province-scale pipeline across a greater than 40km strike. Phase 1 drilling included large step-out holes from two previously favourable Newcrest intercepts and successfully upgraded the immediate target zone. We are very excited to have recommenced drilling, as the results indicate a new, large-scale mineralised system with the geological characteristics required for multiple discoveries.Additional scale is also emerging to the south. A review of prior explorer drilling and a ground gravity survey completed in late 2025 have highlighted significant southern extension potential, where favourable basement intersections, anomalous results, and untested magnetic and gravity anomalies remain open for drill testing.Separately, planning continues to support further scout drilling at the Nyngan and potentially Nyngan South projects. With a portfolio exceeding 2,350km² and a strong partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, Kincora is well positioned to systematically advance this unique, province-scale opportunity, offering substantial leverage to shareholders."NEVERTIRE AND NEVERTIRE SOUTH PROJECTSTarget specific drilling Following the April 2025 amended and second earn-in agreement with AngloGold Ashanti 1, a first phase drilling program commenced at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses in 2H'2025. The program benefitied from unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) and was designed to follow up two prior favourable drill results reported by Newcrest Mining and the most northern drilled holes at the NMC.Newcrest holes ACDNY005 and ACDNY006 were drilled ~2.7km apart, in the central portion of the NMC, and returned "lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 2. Kincora's relogging of these holes, led by technical director John Holliday, supported this interpretation.The Phase 1 program included large scale step-out drilling and was designed to identify and define vectoring patterns toward potential porphyry centres. This program was very encouraging in providing strong vectors, upgrading the immediate target zone, supporting Newcrest's previous interpretation and reaffirming the Company's view that the NMC is the most geologically prospective porphyry project in the northern covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc.The 8 hole program, totalling 3385.2 metres, utilised cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the relatively soft post mineral cover sequence, followed by NQ3 diamond core drilling of the porphyry-prospective basement. All holes intersected basement. Drilling to date has intersected the NMC at shallow to moderate depths, with basement mostly at ~70m (in the south-west) to a 250m depth.Step-out drilling across a greater than 4km of strike intersected multiple porphyritic intrusive phases beneath a moderate thickness of post-mineral cover - see Figures 4-5 and Tables 1-4. Lithologies intersected include monzonite, diorite, dacite, and crowded pyroxene-hornblende andesites - see selected core photographs in Figure 6. Favourable alteration and porphyry-style veining were observed, with copper, gold and pathfinder element geochemistry providing vectors for high-priority follow-up drilling, including copper grades suggestive of increasing proximity to a porphyry system centre(s) (see Figure 5).High priority infill and further step-out drilling has recommenced to discover and refine vectoring patterns toward prospective porphyry centres.Larger scale new target and intrusive complex generation As previously announced, following encouraging initial visual observations, follow-up geophysical surveys commenced in 2H'2025, together with a review of prior explorer drilling results and ground gravity survey data 3.These activities have resulted in a material increase in the prospective search space across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses, supporting a total prospective strike of greater than 40km N-S, representing a greater than 6x increase relative to the initial Phase 1 drill strike extent - see Figure 3.A gravity survey covering ~110km2 has been completed and is currently being intergrated with legacy gravity data-sets, totalling ~148km2, acquired by prior explorers. These historical surveys were variable in coverage density and spatial distribution, reflecting piecemeal target-specific objectives. When combined with the new systematic gravity coverage, the dataset is expected to support a more coherent district-scale interpretation, with a further ~290km² of gravity surveying planned in 2026.Prior explorer drilling across the southern extensions of the NMC includes 23 diamond holes totalling 7,383.7 metres, with some drillcore hosted in the publicly accessible Londonderry core library at the NSW Government's WB Clarke Geoscience Centre. Numerous historical drillholes in the Nevertire South priority area and adjacent southern targets were only partially sampled or analysed for a limited element suite, and most critical porphyry pathfinder elements were not consistently assayed.As a result, multiple historical drillholes intersecting basement, coincident with favourable magnetic and/or gravity anomalies and returning anomalous geochemical results, were not advanced beyond initial testing. Many of these intersections are now recognised to be spatially associated with interpreted Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes that remain open and untested.Resampling, re-logging and modern analytical work on high-priority historical drillholes, together with new geophysical data, is planned and is expected to expand and systematically advance the exploration pipeline, refine further step-out and scout drilling targets, and support evaluation of multiple potential new Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes.Figure 1: Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti have partnered to explore new district-scale undercover extensions of the world-class Macquarie Arc in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt via two earn-in and joint venture agreements, currently aggressively drilling large greenfield targets Kincora has a portfolio of eight active projects, including managing two earn-in programs with AngloGold Ashanti, receiving a 10% management fee on expenditures, and covering a continuous 100km strike across 5 adjacent licenses (see References footnote 7 for source data for disclosed inventory/metal endowment)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_001full.jpgFigure 2: Positive results have supported an acceleration of exploration activities, with step-out and infill drilling recommenced at the Nevertire South license, wider exploration planned to the south, and planning underway for recommencing drilling at multiple targets within the the Nyngan license, and potentially a maiden scout hole in the Nyngan South license To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_002full.jpgFigure 3: Phase 1 drilling results reaffirm Kincora's view that the NMC is the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc, with the southern strike highlighting new province-scale potential A gravity survey covering >100 km² has been completed within a planned total survey area of >400 km².

Phase 1 drilling by Kincora has returned encouraging copper and gold assay results, together with lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with this conceptual framework, supporting its relevance.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_005full.jpgFigure 6: Positive observations with intrusions, hydrothermal alteration, porphyry veining associated with disseminated and vein-hosted sulphideDetailed core photography of selection portions of 2H'2025 drilling, showing a range of mineralisation and alteration types from mineralised intervals within the middle-northern section of the Nevertire Magmatic Complex ("NMC")See Tables 1-3 for additional geological discriptions, peak and significant assay resultsFor Photos of the drill core please refer to the PDF of this release available on Kincora's home page at https://kincoracopper.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/20260210_KCC_Exploration-expands-and-upgrades-Nevertire-South.pdf?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email%20marketing&utm_campaign=Kincora%20and%20AngloGold%20Ashanti%20exploration%20expands%20and%20upgrades%20Nevertire%20with%20drilling%20recommenced%20(09-02-2026)Hole NEDD005 - 348.1m: stockwork chalcopyrite-pyrite bearing quartz-carbonate veins intersect silicified dacite porphyry, returning elevated copper (542 ppm) with minor zinc.Hole NEDD005 - 358.6m: stockwork chalcopyrite-pyrite bearing quartz-carbonate veins intersect silicified, brecciated dacite porphyry, returning elevated copper (235 ppm) with minor molybdenum and zinc.Hole NEDD006 - 337.15m: chalcopyrite-pyrite bearing quartz-carbonate veins cutting strongly propylitic altered intermediate volcanic rocks, returning elevated copper (4470 ppm) with minor gold, molybdenum, silver and zinc.Hole NEDD006 - 407.7m: chalcopyrite-pyrite rich quartz-carbonate-magnetite-hematite veins intersecting weakly propylitically altered intermediate volcanic rocks, returning elevated copper (1310 ppm) with gold (0.431 g/t) and minor molybdenum, silver and zinc.Hole NEDD006 - 417.25m: chalcopyrite-pyrite bearing quartz-carbonate-chlorite-hematite vein and dessiminated chalcopyrite-pyrite within weakly propylitically altered intermediate volcanic rocks with elevated copper (234 ppm) with minior gold, molybdenum, silver and zinc.Hole NEDD007 - 384.45m: chalcopyrite-pyrite-bornite rich quartz-carbonate-specular hematite veining intersecting weakly propylitically altered intermediate volcanic rocks, returning elevated copper (3400 ppm) and gold (0.341 g/t), with minior molybdenum, silver and zinc.Hole NEDD007 - 519.5m: chalcopyrite-pyrite rich quartz-carbonate-chlorite veins intersecting strongly propylitic-sodic altered hydrothermal breccia, returning elevated copper (13700 ppm) with gold (0.475 g/t) and molybdenum (31.8 ppm) with minor silver, lead and zinc.Hole NEDD007 - 557.4m: hydrothermal breccia with a quartz-carbonate+chlorite cement hosting disseminated chalcopyrite mineralization, returning elevated copper (812 ppm) and gold (0.28 g/t) with minior molybdenum and silver.ABOUT THE NJNB PROJECT PORTFOLIOThe Macquarie Arc is a hotspot for recent corporate activity with over A$16-billion of M&A for producing porphyry assets and over A$385 million of exploration earn-in/joint ventures 6. The district has seen considerable exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 7 and an emerging gold discovery by Waratah Resources at the Spur project 8 and LinQ Minerals at the southern zone of the Gilmore project 9.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 which hosts a number of world-class deposits and mines (e.g. 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 (AUCU.CSE) ("Inflection", market capitalisation C$31.3 million) within the NJNB with over A$20 million investment to date 10. In 2Q'2025, AngloGold Ashanti 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) 11 and signed a major amendment with Kincora to include a second joint venture supporting a continuous strike greater than a 100kms and five projects.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 12. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded in four large-scale discoveries valued at over A$11 billion 13.Kincora was an early mover into the NJNB and has opportunistically pegged strategically important ground directly from the State resulting in 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 is included in earn-in and agreements with AngloGold Ashanti.ABOUT KINCORAKincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused copper-gold explorer with a hybrid prospect generator strategy. The Company is now successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Macquarie Arc and Mongolia's Southern Gobi, two of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar Basin in NSW.Kincora is using an asset level partner model to develop and implement exploration strategies for its wholly-owned large-scale exploration stage porphyry projects. The Company has already unlocked over $100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects 13. These initial deals have supported over 16,000 metres of drilling and over A$7m of partner funded exploration since late 2024 until September 30, 2025, with management fees and exploration ramping up 14.Partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship projects that are all situated within existing porphyry camps containing over 20-million-ounce gold equivalent resource inventory.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. This is in addition to the various other existing partnerships where Kincora is not the operator or receiving a management fee income stream.The Company has assembled an industry leading technical team who have made multiple world-class copper and gold discoveries, who have "skin in the game" equity ownership, and, backed by a consolidated and sophisticated shareholder register. In Septmber 2025, Kincora closed an oversubscribed C$4 million non-brokered private placement of units led by leading North American investors, including Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips, and their investor networks.The share units have a 12-month hold period and there is an accelerator on the warrants - both at the lead investors requests. This raising is concurrent with a corporate restructuring and share capital roll back with only 43-million shares outstanding and over 60% of the register held by reporting insiders and/or in 12-month hold stock.The roll back and placement terms provides Kincora the corporate structure to leverage the deals, partner funding and project results already in place and to unlock significant existing value. This is starting to be realized.The new capital provides the ability to accelerate more drilling, do more asset level deals, earn more management fees, and, ultimately, supporting the ambition of more (big) new discoveries. These multiple avenues all provide further material value catalysts for shareholders.The financing also supports Kincora pursuing a hybrid project generator model and undertaking drilling at our 100% owned Condobolin project. The Condobolin project hosts a historical mining field located within the Cobar Basin and within trucking distance to an existing mill seeking third party ore. The Cobar Basin has recently seen a number of significant new discoveries (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and significant corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover of MAC, Kingston Resources receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its Misima project etc).
