1. Exploration Activities

Mt Thirsty PGE’ Cu-Ni-Co and Ni-Co Project, Western Australia (50% owned)

1.1.1. Overview of Activities

PGE-Ni-Cu-Co Exploration

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, assays were received for the first eight drill holes in early October 2022, all of which intercepted and all intercepting semi-massive and/or heavily disseminated sulphides and anomalous PGE1 mineralisation. Highlights included;

  • MTRC003D: 27.0 metres @ 0.33g/t 3E , 0.12% Ni & 0.05% Cu from 198.0 metres

  • MTDD001D: 18.0 metres @ 0.29g/t 3E, 0.11% Ni & 0.05% Cu from 182.0 metres

  • MTRC009D: 10.2 metres @ 0.23g/t 3E, 0.09% Ni & 0.01% Cu from 199.0 metres

The Phase I drill campaign (figure 1) tested for extensions to the recent palladium-platinum-goldcopper-nickel (PGE) discovery by Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL ) located less than 200 metres from the MTJV’s northern tenement boundary. The MTJV is located 16 kilometres North-Northwest of Norseman, Western Australia.

The depth of mineralisation is consistent with the previously modelled target horizon however the initial geological interpretation of these results indicates that a secondary control(s) on mineralisation are likely influencing the local distribution of grade and continuity.

Thickening was also observed in the sediments to the south in holes MTRC0011AD (38.0 metres) and MTRC005D (49.0 metres) and is interpreted to be an important control on mineralisation, being the source of both sulphur and fluid which may facilitate the local enrichment of PGE mineralisation. Both MTRC0011AD and MTRC005D have been logged, cut, sampled, and submitted to the laboratory, with assays expected in late October/early November 2022.

Figure 2: Plan view of mapped pegmatite outcrops and proposed drill collars

Current geological interpretations suggest Callisto style mineralisation could be hosted within a northsouth trending zone of demagnetisation, resulting in localised alteration and remobilisation of mineralisation. A continuous demagnetised zone has been interpreted to run the entirety of the MTJV licence (figure 1), exhibiting a similar low magnetism geophysical signature similar to Callisto. As ultramafic formations are highly magnetic, this suggests a zone of strong alteration and potential remobilisation of minerals.

The Phase 1 diamond drilling program comprised a total of 1,599 metres of RC and 2,157 metres of diamond drilling which have so far tested an area covering approximately 1,000 metres x 800 metres based on recommendations from the geological and geophysical review undertaken in the June Quarter. Subsequent to the end of the September Quarter, assays results from 8 holes were returned confirming the presence of highly anomalous PGE, Ni and Cu assays.

Mapping was completed of LCT pegmatite targets striking for over 1km on the MTJV tenements ahead of RC program planned for the December Quarter which was subsequently completed on 26 October 2022 for a total of 1,630 metres.

Lithium Pegmatite Exploration

In addition to the untested PGE potential, the MTJV continues to undertake a detailed geological review assessing the western margin of the Mt Thirsty licences for lithium-caesium-tantalum (LCT) potential, with historical drilling and mapping previously documenting pegmatites within the MTJV licence area.

Preliminary geological mapping in the area has identified eight pegmatite outcrops on the western margin of the Mt Thirsty licences over a strike extent of 1,000 metres (Figure 2), with preparations for an initial 11-hole program (1,650 metres) already underway with drill pads having been prepared.

Importantly, 150 metres to the west of licences held by the MTJV is the Mt Thirsty pegmatite where Galileo previously reported a series of steeply dipping, north-south trending pegmatites. Six grab samples of micaceous (lepidolite) pegmatite were sampled by Galileo returning an average assay grade of 2.3% Li2O, 1.87% Rb and 476 ppm Ta2052.

Mapping was completed of LCT pegmatite targets striking for over 1km on the MTJV tenements ahead of RC program planned for the December Quarter which was subsequently completed on 26 October 2022 for a total of 1,630 metres.

Figure 4: Sulphide mineralisation in drill hole MIDD014 (highlighted in purple).

The Ryberg Polymetallic Project (Figure 5) covers 4,521km2 on the east coast of Greenland, 365km west of Iceland. It contains multiple prospects that are prospective for accumulations of magmatic sulphide mineralisation, with known occurrences of Ni-Cu-Co-Pd-Au.

Drilling activities concluded on 5th September 2022 having commenced on 18th July 2022. A total of 11 diamond drill holes were completed on four prospects, targeting Cu-Ni-Au-platinum group element (PGE) mineralisation at Sortekap, Miki, Cascata and Pyramid Prospects. Seven holes intersected weakly disseminated and/or disseminated sulphides in mafic dykes at the Sortekap and Miki Prospects. Assay results are awaited, with 344 samples from Sortekap and Cascata already received by an accredited laboratory. A further 345 from the Sortekap, Miki, and Pyramid Prospects were shipped in early September 2022. Exploration data obtained the from previous years’ field campaigns (regional magnetics, local induced polarisation, and electromagnetic surveys, plus drill and surface geological data) were utilised to aid targeting.

MIKI PROSPECT OVERVIEW

The Miki Dyke is an NNE trending body of medium to coarse-grained dolerite and gabbro intruded into units of local basement gneiss. Six drill holes were completed along a 3,700 m length of the dyke where the surface width of the dyke varies between approximately 160m and 400m. Mineralisation, was encountered within the footwall of the dyke and into the contact with the underlying gneiss. Mineralisation consisted of chalcopyrite variably associated with bornite, pyrrhotite/pyrite, and magnetite.

Significant intersections included:

  • MIDD011: 17.7 metres of disseminated sulphides from 180.2 m.

  • MIDD013: 9.8 metres of disseminated sulphides from 38.0 m &

  • 12.0 metres of disseminated sulphides from 56.0 m &

  • 1.4 metres of disseminated sulphides from 82.6 m &

  • 3.9 metres of disseminated sulphides from 102.5 m &

  • 32.6 metres of disseminated sulphides from 109.8 m.

  • MIDD014 (figure 3):17.7 metres of disseminated sulphides from 47.0 m.

==> picture [198 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Drill core samples were collected on-site and have been sent to an accredited laboratory in Ireland. Drill core has been transported from Greenland to Conico’s facilities in continental Europe.

SORTEKAP PROSPECT OVERVIEW

Drilling at Sortekap targeted induced polarisation (IP) chargeability and magnetic anomalies from 3D inversions of data collected in 2020 and 2021. SODD004 tested an IP chargeability anomaly and intersected a zone of mineralisation in the footwall of a mafic dyke and in an adjacent gneiss. Mineralisation included weakly disseminated and/or disseminated chalcopyrite with minor pentlandite; this hole was followed up by SODD005 which intersected weakly disseminated chalcopyrite mineralisation.

Significant intersections include:

  • SODD004 (figure 3):

  • 4.2 metres of disseminated sulphides from 103.6 m &

  • 15.8 metres of disseminated sulphides from 260.4 m.

  • SODD005: SODD005: 32.6 m of weakly disseminated sulphides from 68.5 m.

CASCATA AND PYRAMID RECONNAISSANCE DRILLING

A single drill hole, CADD003 was drilled at Cascata. This hole was located approximately 1,600 m SW from the two holes drilled by Conico in 2021 and was a further scout hole to investigate the volcanosedimentary sequence and an interpreted layered gabbroic intrusive intersected in the previous drilling. The hole drilled through a sequence of dykes and volcaniclastic units containing weakly disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite before encountering a gabbroic body from 369 m to the end of the hole at 416.5 m. Forty-eight samples to test the gabbroic intrusion and establish geochemical backgrounds will be shipped for analysis after demobilisation.

At Pyramid, two magnetic anomalies identified from the 2021 aeromagnetic data were visited. The first anomaly coincided with an 800m by 400m intrusion of magnetite-bearing pyroxenite and the second anomaly coincided with a high ridgeline with surface float of volcanic/volcanosedimentary rocks containing strong magnetite alteration.

A single drill hole (PYDD001) was drilled to test under the ridge with the magnetite-altered float rocks. The hole drilled through a sequence of micaceous shales and calcareous sandstones but was abandoned due to poor ground conditions before reaching the planned target depth. No samples were collected from the drill core.

BACKGROUND

The project is located on the margin of the North Atlantic Large Igneous Province, a major Tertiary volcanic event related to hotspot magmatism and early rifting of the North Atlantic, which produced over 6.6 million cubic kilometres of continental flood basalts. Within the project area, erosion has exposed Cretaceous-Tertiary sediments in a downfaulted rift basin sitting unconformably on a Precambrian metamorphic basement. The metamorphic basement and the sedimentary sequence host sub-volcanic mafic sill- and dyke-complexes that formed local feeder system to the flood-basalt eruptions.

The project has potential for magmatic sulphide-rich nickel-copper-PGE deposits related to mafic and ultramafic dike-sill complexes, and sulphide-poor PGE deposits related to large layered mafic and ultramafic intrusions.

  • 1.3. Mestersvig Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag Project, Greenland (100% owned)

1.3.1. 2022 Field Season

The Mestersvig Project covers 1,447km[2] on the east coast of Greenland, 640km north of Iceland. It contains multiple prospects that are prospective for vein and strata-bound sulphide mineralisation, with known occurrences of Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag. This includes the historic Blyklippen Mine that produced 545,000 tonnes @ 9.9% zinc and 9.3% lead between 1956-1962 that is situated within the tenement.

Exploration drilling concluded on 14[th] September 2022 having commenced on 27[th] July 2022. A total of 10 diamond drill holes were completed, targeting vein-hosted Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag of which eight intersected disseminated, heavily disseminated and/or matrix sulphides. The drill campaign was testing for extensions to the known mineralised vein system identified at Blyklippen and Sortebjerg approximately 13 km along strike from one another.

Holes that intercepted the modelled mineralised vein exhibit similar mineralisation to the historic Blyklippen Mine, consisting of vein-hosted disseminated sulphides, heavily disseminated sulphides and/or matrix sulphides. Better intercepts included:

  • BKDD003: 3.3 metres of disseminated sulphides from 205.0 metres,

  • BKDD004: 15.5 metres of disseminated sulphides from 211.5 metres,

  • SBDD003: 4.5 metres of matrix sulphides from 134.1 metres, and

  • SBDD005: 1.4 metres of heavily disseminated sulphides from 120.5 metres.

Nuldal Reconnaissance

Follow up reconnaissance at the Nuldal Prospect identified a mineralised vein running roughly parallel with Blyklippen, trending N-S. It contains several galena-bearing outcrops, and also hosts silver mineralisation. Two rock chip samples were taken here in 2020, grading 60.66% lead, 0.91% copper & 236 g/t silver, and 69.47% lead, 0.77% copper & 282 g/t silver (Conico ASX Announcement 8[th] December 2020). Field observations this year have found a one metre wide occurrence of massive galena with disseminated chalcopyrite in outcrop (figure 8 and figure 9 for location). Assays are awaited.

Background to Mestersvig Project

Local geology is dominated by Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic sediments intruded by Palaeogene dolerite sills and dykes. The area is bordered by the Palaeogene Werner Bjerge alkaline igneous complex to the south, and a major regional fault to the west, beyond which sits the Caledonian fold belt. The Mestersvig graben is the most conspicuous feature of the project area, which occurs in a 15-20 km-long anticlinal fold structure amongst widespread faulting. The graben is 4 km wide and 12 km long, with the western graben fault being the host to the Blyklippen Mine that produced 545,000 tons of ore at 9.3% lead and 9.9% zinc between 1956-1962.

Mineralisation occurs as fault controlled epithermal lead-zinc veins with accessory silver and copper. Mineralisation is hosted within quartz veins that range in thickness from 2-50 m, from surface to unknown depth. Veins are mostly associated with the border faults of the Mestersvig graben, but also occur distally and are widespread throughout the project area. Ore minerals are typically massive sphalerite and galena, with minor chalcopyrite and barite.

The Sortebjerg Prospect is situated approximately 13 km south of the Blyklippen mine and is a mineralised vein that has been subject to historic drilling. It is interpreted to be the same mineralised western graben fault that hosts the Blyklippen mine, and contains similar Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation, with the addition of chalcopyrite.

the 2022 Greenland field work being completed in in September.

further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it

prevailing at the time, to possibly undertake a capital raising during the next 3
months on terms and conditions that are yet to be determined.
