AGUIA IDENTIFIES THREE NEW COPPER & GOLD TARGETS IN THE RIO GRANDE COPPER BELT

Sydney, Australia : Aguia Resources Limited (ASX: AGR) ( ‘Aguia’ or the ‘Company’ ) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activity undertaken on its copper assets in southernmost Brazil with three new highly prospective targets identified: two copper targets one gold target. This is the first time the Company has identified a gold target although we have previously reported gold at surface at our nearby Carlota copper target. The identification of these targets brings Aguia’s portfolio in the Rio Grande Belt to a total of nine copper targets plus the Andrade Copper Project together with one gold target. This work is being undertaken in unison with activities underway to progress the Três Estradas Phosphate Project into production and does not detract from those works.

Highlights

  • Initial geological reconnaissance and rock sampling along Aguia’s new tenements in the Rio Grande Copper Belt has resulted in the identification of three new targets:

  • Salso: a target located 12km northwest of the Andrade Project, initial rock sampling returned copper and silver results along a 700m mineralisation trend, including 2.67% copper and 27.1 g/t silver.

  • Piquiri: a target located 60km east of the city of Caçapava do Sul, comprising an area covered by six tenements bordering a granite intrusion, similar to Andrade, where volcanic and sedimentary rocks mineralised in copper were identified grading up to 1.08% copper.

  • Estuque: a target located 33km northwest of the Andrade Project, comprising an area with historical gold exploration works, such as trenches and shafts. Initial rock sampling returned encouraging gold results of up to 2.68 g/t Au.

Managing Director Dr. Fernando Tallarico commented: “Aguia’s copper tenements continue to deliver new zones of interest with copper showings at surface across a large surface area, the new targets we are reporting today warrant further exploration with the drill bit. Salso and Piquiri have a combined strike of over 3.2km where there is identified copper mineralisation and we are now planning a more comprehensive trenching and drill program to potentially add to our resource base. Given the extent of our tenement holdings, our strategy is to identify copper targets of significant scale and the geology tells us we have the right footprint to deliver this.”

Copper Land Position

In December 2020, Aguia was granted 24 new exploration permits which has expanded the Company's land position within the Rio Grande Copper Belt by 37,451 hectares to a total of 81,700 hectares. The Rio Grande Copper Belt includes several copper occurrences and one historical copper mine hosted in a variety of rock types and structural settings, and usually occur with silver and/or gold. Figure 01 shows the distribution of Aguia’s tenements, the copper targets, and the recently identified new targets.

Salso Target

The Salso Target is located 12km to the northwest of the Andrade Project (Figure 02). Initial geological mapping shows that the Salso Target is associated with a contact between volcanic rhyolitic rock with a sedimentary sequence, represented by rhythmites and sandstones. The copper is occurring as disseminations in the matrix of the rhythmite and filling the foliation plans and also occurs in association with quartz veins in the geological contact zone. The main copper mineral is malachite reflecting the weathering at surface, some chalcocite was also found. Initial reconnaissance and geological mapping returned a rock assay of up to 2.67% copper and 27.1g/t silver. The rock assay results are presented in Table 01.

Piquiri Target

The Piquiri Target is located 60km to the east of the city of Caçapava do Sul and comprises an area covered by six tenements where volcanic and sedimentary rocks outcrop in contact with granite, which is a geological environment similar to that found at the Andrade Deposit (Figure 04). Copper mineralisation occurs in both sedimentary and volcanic rocks, predominantly in shales along the strike over 2.5km. The main copper mineral is malachite occurring as disseminations in the matrix of the volcanic rocks and filling the foliation plans of the shales. Initial reconnaissance and geological mapping returned a rock assay of up to 1.08% copper. The rock assay results are presented in Table 02.

Estuque Target

The Estuque target is located 33km northwest of the Andrade Project and comprises an area with outcrops and historical gold exploration works, such as trenches and shafts, along a 1km strikelength (Figure 05). The host rock is a silicified granite, occurring in the border of the main intrusive structure. The mineralisation is associated with a radial structure in the border of this zone and the gold is bearing in sheeted vein structures. Sheeted vein is a hydrothermal structure typical of gold deposits associated to nearby intrusive rocks formed by a set of parallel gold-bearing quartz veins separated from each other by the country rock (Figure 06). Initial results from rock samples of this rock type returned up to 2.68 g/t gold (Table 03).

Commentary

Application ANM 810.778/2021, 100%
owned by Aguia Fertilizantes S.A. Permit
not granted yet.

Exploration activity by Aguia Fertililzantes
S.A. comprised an integrated bibliography
data about the copper and gold occurrences.

Salso target is located 12 km northwest from
the Andrade Project. The Salso Target is
associated with a contact between volcanic
rhyolitic rock with a sedimentary sequence,
represented by rhythmites and sandstones.
The copper occurs as disseminations in the
matrix of the rhythmite and filling the
foliation plans, also occurs in quartz veins in
contact zone. The main copper mineral is
malachite reflecting the weathering at
surface and some chalcocite was identified.

Piquiri target is located 60km to the east of
the city of Caçapava do Sul. Five historical
copper occurrences spread along a 12km
north-south fault system adjacent to the
western edge of a Neoproterozoic Granite –
a very similar setting to the highly
prospective Andrade-Primavera corridor.

Estuque target is located 33 kilometers
northwest of the Andrade Project, comprises
an area with outcrops and historical gold
exploration works, such as trenches and
shafts, along 1 km strike-length. The host
rock is a silicified granite, occurring in the
border of the main intrusive structure. The
mineralisation is associated a radial structure
in the border of this zone and the gold is
bearing in sheeted vein structures.
• Salso, Piquiri and Estuque targets were not
subject to any drilling by the Company.
• Only rock and soil sampling at this point.
Rock samples were surveyed according to the
local UTM coordinate system (South
American Datum 1969 – SAD69, Zone 22S),
using hand held GPS equipment.
