MESTERSVIG PROJECT ENLARGED BY 1,198km2 TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL MINERALISATION
HIGHLIGHTS
-
A new licence application for 1,183km2 at the Mestersvig Project has successfully progressed for Ministerial approval.
-
The Company’s existing Mestersvig licence has successfully been enlarged by an additional 15km2.
-
The enlarged Mestersvig Project now contains the following styles of mineralisation:
-
» Vein-hosted lead-zinc-silver-copper sulphides (historic Blyklippen Mine & Sortebjerg/ Nuldal prospects).
-
» Strata-bound lead-zinc-copper-barium sulphides (~225km2 of prospective lithologies).
-
» Rare Earth Elements (REE), associated with a large igneous complex.
-
» Primary base metal sulphides, associated with a large igneous complex.
-
» Sediment-hosted copper sulphides.
-
The Company now has an enlarged footprint in what is a known mineral-rich locality, containing the historic Blyklippen Mine, Malmbjerg molybdenum project and active copper exploration by others including IGO Ltd (ASX: IGO); and
-
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, all mineral exploration licences in Greenland have been granted waivers for 2021 activities, however the Company has elected to proceed as planned.
SUMMARY
Conico Limited (ASX: CNJ) (“Conico” or “the Company”) has increased the size of its Mestersvig License owing to the success of field activities and associated research conducted in 2020 (CNJ ASX Announcement, 8th December 2020). Existing licence MEL 2020/64 has been increased by 15km2 and a new application for an adjacent licence covering 1,183km2 has progressed for Ministerial approval (Figure 1). Upon grant of the new application, Conico will become the second largest licence holder in Greenland behind Anglo American plc.
The rationale behind the enlargement was to include the Werner Bjerge Complex (WBC), a series of igneous felsic, mafic and ultramafic intrusions within a diameter of ~17km, that are the likely source of mineralising fluids for vein-hosted lead-zinc-silver-copper sulphides. Additionally, strata-bound (hosted in a laterally continuous sedimentary horizon) mineralisation containing lead-zinc-copperbarium is also associated with the WBC and is present over an area of ~225km2 in the enlarged licence package. Primary sulphide mineralisation has been identified within the WBC which hosts the Malmbjerg molybdenum deposit, however the balance of the complex remains underexplored and is an obvious target for Rare Earth Elements (REE), with the REE-bearing mineral xenotime having been located within the WBC by a previous explorer. Also, the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has identified the sediment-hosted copper potential of the Project area, particularly in black shales and red bed formations that were both witnessed in the enlarged licence area by Conico personnel in 2020.

1.0 LICENCE TERMS
The new application is for a ‘Special Mineral Exploration Licence’ (S-MEL), that is exclusive and valid for 3 years with reduced, non-escalating expenditure requirements. After the 3 year term, the S-MEL can be converted in part or in whole to a conventional Mineral Exploration Licence (MEL). S-MEL’s are only granted for areas in northern and east Greenland that exceed 1,000km2 and exist to promote exploration in these locations. The Company’s Ryberg Project also contains an S-MEL (S-MEL 2019/38).
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, all mineral exploration companies operating in Greenland have been informed that 2021 minimum expenditure is waived and 1 year will be added to the term of all licences. It is however the Company’s intention to proceed with field activities this year, and planning is at an advanced stage.
2.0 MINERALISATION STYLES
2.1 VEIN HOSTED LEAD-ZINC SILVER-COPPER SULPHIDES
The Company’s initial licence MEL 2020/64 contains the historic Blyklippen lead-zinc mine that produced 545,000 tonnes @ 9.9% zinc & 9.3% lead and the Sortebjerg Prospect (Figure 2) that contains similar mineralisation to Blyklippen and is located 10km to the south. Both are veinhosted occurrences associated with quartz±barite with the mineralised veins ranging in thickness from a few metres to 50m wide.
The licence area has since been increased by 15km2 to include the entirety of the Nuldal and Little Lead Valley Prospects that were subject to sampling and partial gravity survey in 2020. Surface samples taken by the Company in 2020 from Nuldal returned grades of up to 69.5% lead, 0.91% copper and 282g/t silver. The gravity survey also indicated a gravity high to the south of Nuldal which may indicate additional mineralisation that is not visible at surface due to the presence of transported overburden

2.2 STRATA BOUND LEAD-ZINC-COPPER-BARIUM SULPHIDES
Strata-bound mineralisation was described by previous explorers from expeditions through 1976 – 1985, and more recently in 2013. Hosted among conglomerate/carbonate lithologies in Upper Permian stratigraphy (Figure 3) is significant barite (barium sulphate), reportedly with concentrations in the range of 90-92% and thickness of up to 9m. Mineralisation is associated with zinc, lead and copper sulphides.

The strata-bound mineralisation is reported by previous explorers as being present where steeply dipping epithermal veins (including the mineralised Blyklippen, Sortebjerg and Nuldal veins) intersect sub-horizontal carbonate-rich sediments. The fluids associated with the veins are considered to travel laterally along the carbonate sediments preferentially replacing them with quartz-barite. There are 3 locations within the enlarged Project area where strata-bound mineralisation has been identified to date, referred to as Holbergpasset, Oksedal and Bredehorn (Figure 1).
While barite is of interest, the exploration target is strata-bound copper, zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation. Exploration efforts to date by previous explorers have been sporadic and limited in their extent, with approximately 225km2 of prospective geology requiring assessment. The majority of this area is blind at surface, obscured by overlying sediments with mineralised exposures only visible in mountainsides. Serendipitously, the gravity survey conducted by the Company in 2020 identified high-density material along the western flank of prospective Upper Permian lithology that may to represent strata-bound sulphides.

2.3 RARE EARTH ELEMENTS (REE)
The rare-earth phosphate mineral xenotime, (containing heavy rare earths yttrium, and secondary dysprosium, erbium, terbium and ytterbium), was reportedly discovered by a previous explorer within the Werner Bjerge Complex (WBC). No further mention of REE-bearing minerals is reported in literature, which is not surprising due to the lack of exploration activities and focus on other commodities. Xenotime is an important ore for REE and worthy of further investigation to confirm its presence and abundance.
2.4 PRIMARY BASE METAL SULPHIDES
The Werner Bjerge Complex (WBC) comprises a series of igneous felsic, mafic and ultramafic intrusions over a diameter of ~17km (Figure 1). The Company’s new licence application includes the majority of the WBC, with the balance licensed by Greenland Resources Inc., that contains the Malmbjerg molybdenum measured and indicated resource. A review of all historic reports indicates minimal exploration activities have occurred outside of Malmbjerg and the Company intends to explore its potential to host primary magmatic nickel and copper sulphide mineralization, particularly in overlooked mafic and ultramafic lithologies.
2.5 SEDIMENT HOSTED COPPER SULPHIDES
The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has highlighted the prospective nature of Upper Permian sediments for hosting copper sulphides. Relevant to the licence area are reducedfacies copper occurrences that form within black shales, akin to the Kupferschiefer type in central Europe. The prospective area for such mineralisation in the Company’s licence area is ~225km2.
There are also extensive ‘red bed’ sandstone sedimentary units within the Project area that are yet to be adequately appraised for copper or other metals (Figure 4). Mineralisation in such a setting occurs via the transportation of copper in oxidised brines (hence the red colour), that then deposit the metal in concentration when a reducing material is encountered and the metal(s) precipitate. To the south of Conico’s licence area is IGO Ltd of Australia, exploring for a similar style of mineralisation.

| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specifc specialised industry standard measure- ment tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. |
• Surface reconnaissance rock- chip samples taken from outcrop by Avannaa Exploration Ltd in 2013 and Longland Resources Ltd in 2020. • Surface reconnaissance rock-chip samples taken from out- crop by Avannaa Exploration Ltd in 2013 and Longland Resources Ltd in 2020. |

| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more expla- nation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commod- ities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
• AVANNAA EXPLORATION LTD: Samples were sent to ALS Minerals’ laboratory in Öjebyn, Sweden, where the samples were crushed and up to 1 kg of each sample was pulverized to more than 85% passing 75 microns. Subse- quently, 0.25 g sample splits were sent to the ALS laboratory in Vancouver, Canada, where they were analysed in the following way: Main elements by code ME-XRF26: whole rock by fusion/ XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence spectrosco- py). Trace elements by code ME-MS61: 48 element four acid ICP-MS (Inductive- ly Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrosco- py). Mercury by code HgCV41: trace Hg - cold vapour/AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy). Specifc gravity by code OA-GRA08b: specifc gravity for pulps using pycnometer. • LONGLAND RESOURCES LTD: Rock- chip samples were collected from the feld, placed into sample bags, and then submitted to SGS Laboratories, Spain and crushed, split and a portion pulverised to produce a representative sub-sample for analysis by aqua regia digest and Inductively Coupled Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) for the following elements: Ag, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, S, Zn. Follow up analysis was then conducted at SGS Canada Inc., where pulps were delivered by SGS Laborato- ries Spain, for analysis by borate fusion and XRF for the following element: Pb; and aqua regia digest and Inductively Coupled Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) for the following elements: Ag, Cu, S, Zn. |

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• VEIN-HOSTED and STRATA-BOUND mineralization are likely that of a Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) Pb- Zn-Ag deposit where mineralisation has been re-mobilised by fuids along faults and carbonate stratigraphic sequences. Mineralisation is present as massive galena-sphalerite-barite, with associated chalcopyrite. Miner- alisation is present within quartz-bar- ite veins, hosted within sandstone, conglomerates and carbonates. Known mineralisation is within the fault and vein systems associated with a Devonian graben system. • RARE EARTH ELEMENT minerali- sation type and style are currently unknown. It is however associated with an igneous complex, and is like- ly to be associated with a pegmatite. This assumption is made as previous explorers could identify the mineral xenotime visually, therefore it must be a relatively large crystal size. • PRIMARY SULPHIDE mineralisa- tion is postulated, and if present is likely to be in the form of magmatic sulphides. These typically occur when a mafc magma undergoes sulphur saturation (via assimilation of sediments) and an immiscible sulphur-rich magma forms that is endowed in copper and nickel. • SEDIMENT-HOSTED COPPER miner- alisation is postulated to be present in the licence area by GEUS and to be of the ‘reduced facies’ style. Whereby strata-bound, disseminated copper sulphide deposits in reduced-facies sedimentary rocks occur overlying or interbedded within redbed sequenc- es or subaerial basalt fows. Copper is mobilised by oxidised brines; the reducing suphide-bearing fuids are derived from reduction of sulphate in marine or lacustrine, organic-rich, fne-grained sediments. Evaporates, or other sources of brines are import- ant. |

| Relationship between miner- alisation widths and intercept lengths |
- These relationships are particularly important in the re- porting of Exploration Results. - If the geometry of the min- eralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. - If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are report- ed, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
• No drilling is reported. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tab- ulations of intercepts should be included for any signifcant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
• No drilling is reported. |
| Balanced reporting | Where comprehensive report- ing of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid mislead- ing reporting of Exploration Results. |
• All assay data that has been report- ed are in Appendices 1 & 2. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotech- nical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or con- taminatingsubstances. |
• Drilling has occurred with MEL 2020/64 and is reported in a CNJ ASX announcement dated 8th De- cember 2020. • Regional aeromagnetic data was acquired by the Greenland govern- ment and covers the majority of the licence area. It was fown at 400m line spacing, and altitude of approxi- mately 300m. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large- scale step-out drilling). |
• The Company intends to acquire high-resolution (100m line spacing) aeromagnetic data to have tighter control on fault locations. This is deemed essential due to mineralisa- tion being fault controlled. • Diamond drilling of known targets identifed in the gravity survey, sur- face sampling and historic diamond drilling is also proposed to occur. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible exten- sions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not com- merciallysensitive. |
