1. Exploration Activities
Mt Thirsty PGE-Ni-Co-Mn-Sc Project, Western Australia (50% owned)
PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Sc EXPLORATION
During the quarter the Company, in conjunction with its joint venture partner Greenstone Resources Limited (ASX: GSR), continued Phase-I exploration activities at Mt Thirsty. The current Phase I drill campaign is principally focussed on testing the deeper ultramafic sill horizons at Mt Thirsty, including any potential extensions to the recent palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel Callisto discovery by Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX: GAL) (Galileo), located less than 200 metres from the MTJV’s northern tenement boundary.
Assays were reported for an additional 22 drill holes during the Quarter that targeted Ni-Co-ScPGE (11 holes) and LCT mineralisation (11 holes), including MTRC011DA returning the sixth (6th) best cobalt intercept in Australia for 2022 (Table 1).

Table 1 Best cobalt intercepts of 2022[1 ]
Three distinct zones of horizontal mineralisation were intersected across the eastern licence area:
1. Upper Zone: Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese-Scandium (Ni-Co-Mn-Sc)
The Upper Zone consists of a weathered ultramafic peridotite rock hosting nickel-cobaltmanganese-scandium mineralisation. The most recent drilling has confirmed the presence of a lower, and potentially higher-grade, Ni-Co-Mn-Sc zone, that is currently outside of the existing resource and supported by historical drilling (Figure 1), most recent intercepts include:

-
MTRC011DA: 78.0 metres @ 0.11% Co, 0.50% Ni, 1.38% Mn & 46.4g/t Sc from 3.0 metres, incl:
-
15.0 metres @ 0.45% Co, 0.91% Ni, 5.42% Mn & 40.9g/t Sc from 45.0 metres
-
MTRC065D: 45.0 metres @ 0.03% Co, 0.33% Ni, 0.23% Mn & 35.9g/t Sc from 5.0 metres, incl:
-
8.0 metres @ 0.08% Co, 0.54% Ni, 0.43% Mn & 40.3g/t Sc from 19.0 metres
This drill campaign utilised a combination of both reverse circulation and diamond drilling which allowed holes to be extended to an average depth of ~350 metres below surface, significantly

==> picture [211 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
deeper than the air-core methods previously utilised at Mt Thirsty. As a result of this shallow aircore drilling, large areas beneath the existing resource remain untested. Furthermore, the 2022 drill campaign employed a comprehensive multi-element assay suite, serving to identify the presence of scandium which had not previously been assayed for, and is not included within the existing resource estimate. The potential addition of scandium to the existing Co-Ni Mt Thirsty Project (PFS released ASX: CNJ 20/02/2020) may provide a valuable by-product revenue stream. The current price of scandium oxide is US$930,930/t; cobalt is US$34,930/t; nickel is US$24,600/t and manganese is US$2,290/t[2] .
2. Lower Zone: Nickel (Ni)
The Lower Zone consists of a chromium rich basalt hosting a thick horizon of continuous nickel mineralisation. Importantly, nickel mineralisation has been intersected in 8 out of 14 holes for which assays have been received, with the most recent results including:

3. Middle Zone: Palladium-Platinum-Gold-Copper-Nickel
The Middle Zone consists of an intrusive gabbro sill hosting anomalous palladium-platinum-goldcopper-nickel mineralisation (Callisto style). Importantly, highly anomalous mineralisation has been intersected in all 15 holes for which assays have been received, with significant results including:
==> picture [11 x 9] intentionally omitted <==
- MTRC006D: 9.0 metres @ 0.14g/t 3E*, 0.09% Ni & 0.02% Cu from 223.0 metres MTRC005D: 6.5 metres @ 0.12g/t 3E, 0.09% Ni & 0.02% Cu from 292.0 metres MTRC012D: 3.0 metres @ 0.10g/t 3E, 0.06% Ni & 0.01% Cu from 247.0 metres

- *3E = Au+Pd+Pt (g/t)
Having intersected both the target horizon and anomalous platinum group element (PGE) mineralisation, it is likely that secondary structural controls are influencing the spatial distribution of high-grade Callisto style mineralisation in the region. Based on currently available information, it is believed that regional folding has created structural traps serving to create localised zones of sulphide accumulation. Initial results from the Phase 1 campaign have been instrumental in refining this exploration model and have been utilised to further constrain the later phases of the Phase I drill campaign to areas which exhibit a similar structural signature as Callisto.

Assays from Phase 1 Drilling Received
Assays have now been received for a further nine reverse circulation (RC) pre-collars completed late last year as part of the Phase I drill campaign. During the course of the Phase I drill campaign at Mt Thirsty, three distinct zones of flat-lying horizontal mineralisation were intersected across the eastern licence area, including an upper zone consisting of a weathered ultramafic peridotite rock hosting nickel-cobalt-manganese-scandium mineralisation. The most recent significant intercepts from the upper Co-Ni-Mn-Sc zone include:

The Phase I drill campaign utilised a combination of both RC and diamond drilling methods which allowed holes to be extended to an average depth of ~350 metres below surface, significantly deeper than the historical air-core drilling methods typically utilised at Mt Thirsty in the past. As a result of this historical air-core drilling, large areas beneath the existing resource still remain untested and may provide for future resource additions (Figure 1).

LITHIUM PEGMATITE UPDATE
Assay results from the maiden Lithium-Caesium-Tantalum (LCT) reverse-circulation drill campaign were reported during the Quarter. The 11-hole geochemical program was principally aimed at assessing the western margin of the Mt Thirsty licences for LCT potential, with historical drilling and mapping previously documenting pegmatites within the MTJV licence area. 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 Ta205[3] .
Geological mapping in the area identified eight pegmatite outcrops on the western most margin of the Mt Thirsty licences over a strike extent of 1,000 metres, however many of the historically documented pegmatites are undercover and, as such, the initial LCT program was focused on gathering important geochemical data to support future targeting.
No significant intercepts were received as part of the initial LCT drill campaign, however a more detailed geochemical review of these results is ongoing.

Mestersvig Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu Project, Greenland (CNJ: 100%)
10 diamond drill holes were completed, and 20 rock chip samples were taken during 2022 field season. Drilling targeted vein-hosted Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag mineralisation adjacent to the Blyklippen Mine, along previously un-drilled segments of a fault structure linking the Blyklippen and Sortebjerg prospects. Eight holes intersected base-metal sulphide minerals hosted by massive quartz veins with assay results received during the Quarter confirming the presence of highgrade lead and zinc mineralisation. Rock chip samples were taken as part of regional reconnaissance on the Blyklippen-Sortebjerg, Holberg and Nuldal veins. Seven rock chip samples returned high-grade Pb, Zn, Cu, or Ag with grades up to 22.5% lead, 3.6% zinc, 3.1% copper and 226 g/t silver.
Mineralisation was found to be analogous to that at the Blyklippen Mine, consisting of quartz vein-hosted galena and/or sphalerite (Figure 2). Hole BKDD005 intersected mineralisation grading 7.6% Pb over 0.67 m approximately 1.7 km south of the mine area. High-grade mineralisation grading 23.75% Zn over 4.5 m was intercepted 9 km south of Blyklippen, on a previously undrilled section of the Blyklippen-Sortebjerg fault in hole SBDD003 (Figure 4). Further to this, many of the high-grade rock chip samples we on sections of veins, or vein systems that have been untested by drilling.
Drilling was limited to a small extent of the known vein-bearing fault structures and confirmed that Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag mineralisation is present not just adjacent to the historic Blyklippen Mine but also throughout a wider part of the project area. High-grade mineralisation intersected down dip from the historic Blyklippen mine, along strike from previous drilling at the Sortebjerg prospect. High-grade galena-bearing rock chips located on the Nuldal and Holberg veins also confirms the Company’s geological model and shows the exploration potential of the project area.

The Nuldal and Holberg fault systems host mineralised veins and are located on the eastern side of the local graben (Figure 3). They are situated outside the main area of historical exploration which has been previously focused on the Blyklippen-Sortebjerg fault on the western boundary of the graben. No previous drilling is known on the Holberg fault and only limited drilling took place in the 1950s on the Nuldal fault, approximately 1 km to the south and 500m lower in elevation from the new high-grade rock chip samples. The Holberg fault has 9 km of un-drilled strike length, which remains open along strike to the north and south. The Nuldal fault has 3 km of un-drilled strike length and is also open along strike to the north and south. The BlyklippenSortebjerg, Holberg, and Nuldal faults have all been shown to host high-grade Pb±Zn±Ag mineralisation.
In addition, a recent archive discovery of historical high-grade rock samples from Pingo Dal, 38 km to the south of the Blyklippen mine (Figure 6) adds another prospect to the Mestersvig project. Similarities in metals, grades, and geology of the Pingo Dal prospect to the known Blyklippen mineralisation suggest a much broader extent to the Mestersvig ore-district.
NULDAL PROSPECT ROCK CHIPS
The Nuldal prospect (Figures 5 & 6) contains a N-S trending fault, 6 km to the east of and subparallel to the Blyklippen-Sortebjerg fault. The prospect was known from historical records and rock samples returned from initial field visits by Conico in 2020 when two rock chip samples returned 60.7% Pb, 0.9% Cu & 236 g/t silver, and 69.5% lead, 0.8% copper & 282 g/t silver ( CNJ announcement 8/12/2020). Field mapping and sampling was conducted during the 2022 field season with several rock chips from fault-hosted quartz veins containing base-metal sulphides returning significant assay results of up to 22.2% Pb and 184g/t Ag. This area received only minor exploration in the 1950s leading to a small number of drill holes on flatter ground, 1 km south and 500 m vertically below the area of high-grade rock chips. The fault remains untested by drilling along most of its 3 km exposed length. Several high-grade lead, silver, and copper-bearing mineralised outcrops have now been identified along the Nuldal structure.

HOLBERG PROSPECT ROCK CHIPS
The Holberg prospect contain a N-S trending fault, 4 km to the east of and sub-parallel to the Blyklippen-Sortebjerg fault (Figure 6). Reconnaissance mapping and sampling conducted during 2022 located multiple galena-bearing outcrops, with rock chips returning significant assay results of up to 19.0% Pb, 17g/t Ag and 0.44% Cu. The Holberg vein system has never been drilled, and mineralised quartz vein outcrops are known to extend along the structure’s strike for over 9 km.
SORTEBJERG PROSPECT ROCK CHIPS
The Sortebjerg prospect contains the southern continuation of the Blyklippen-Sortebjerg fault, from 9 to 13 km south of the historic Blyklippen mine (Figure 6). Reconnaissance field mapping and sampling was conducted during the 2022 field season along with limited drilling. The surface fieldwork confirmed the location of historic mapped veins and outcrops with sample 9970 returning grades of 22.5% Pb and 226g/t Ag from an area of historical drilling. Conico’s drilling took place along strike to the north of the historical drilling, including an intercept of 4.5 m @ 7.7 g/t Ag and 23.75% Zn in hole SBDD003.

PINGO DAL PROSPECT
During archival research in 2022 a region of anomalous high-grade rock chip samples reported in historical exploration work from the 1960s and 70s was identified in the southern part of the tenement licence (Figure 6), near the Pingo Dal valley. Anomalous samples are spread over 2.6 km and, as at Blyklippen, are hosted in Permian sandstones which appear to be heavily faulted by normal faults superimposing different units of sandstone against each other.
Sixty-four out of 145 samples are reported as having >1%Pb, with thirteen out of 145 samples reported as having >50% Pb, with a further 18 samples having >200 g/t Ag, the highest grades being 76.9% and 380 g/t respectively. Mineralisation is reported to be quartz vein hosted and fault controlled, with some mineralisation also occurring in strata-bound limestones. To the Company’s knowledge no exploration work has been carried out at the location since the 1980s, and only four short drillholes took place in 1957.

Ryberg Polymetallic Project, Greenland (100% owned)
11 diamond drill holes were completed across four prospects during the Greenland field season, targeting Cu-Ni-Au- PGE mineralisation at the Sortekap, Miki, Cascata and Pyramid prospects. Assay results were returned in the Quarter and confirmed the presence of Cu-Ni-PGE mineralisation in dykes at the Miki and Sortekap prospects, and Au mineralisation in a previously unknown zone of quartz veins in the Sortekap prospect.
While the mineralisation intercepted from the 2022 drilling is generally low grade, Conico considers the season and new data collected to be a very successful outcome. Intercepting magmatic sulphide-hosted Cu-Ni-PGE mineralisation, as well as identifying previously unknown quartz vein-hosted gold mineralisation is a positive result for the season and provides building blocks for further work. The Company is now seeking a joint venture (JV) partner to move the Ryberg Project forward.
MIKI PROSPECT DETAIL AND DRILL ASSAYS
The Miki Dyke (figure 8) is an NNE trending body of 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 160 m and 400 m. Mineralisation consisting of chalcopyrite variably associated with bornite, pyrrhotite/pyrite, and magnetite was encountered within the footwall of the dyke and the contact zone with the underlying gneiss.
Drill core samples were collected on-site for five of the six holes and shipped for preparation and assay at an accredited laboratory in Ireland. Assay results from the 2022 Miki drilling include the following:

Mineralisation intercepted in the footwall contact of the Miki dyke albeit low grade, confirms the targeted mineralisation style of Ni-Cu-PGE-bearing magmatic sulphides coalescing due to gravity within a magma intrusion. The sulphide mineral types intercepted provide good evidence that the dyke is fertile in Cu, Ni and PGE, and given the right structural environment and orientation of the dyke, has the potential to further concentrate these economic sulphides into an area of pooling. Future work will focus on identifying structural changes in the dyke that could accommodate sulphide aggregation to higher grades and thicknesses.
SORTEKAP PROSPECT DETAIL AND DRILL ASSAYS
Drilling at Sortekap (figures 7 & 8) targeted induced polarisation (IP) chargeability and magnetic anomalies from 3D inversions of geophysical data collected in 2020 and 2021. Drill-hole SODD004 intersected a zone of mineralisation (see Figure 7) in the footwall of a mafic dyke and the contact zone with the underlying gneiss, coincidental with an IP anomaly. Mineralisation included weakly disseminated and/or disseminated chalcopyrite with minor pentlandite. The presence of blebby textured sulphides, as well as chalcopyrite and pentlandite is encouraging as this indicates the sulphides are magmatic and the magma system has the potential to further concentrate a dense metal-bearing sulphide liquid within the magma system. Hole SODD005 intersected the same mineralised zone along strike but assay results indicate weaker mineralisation.
The style of dyke and mineralisation seen in SODD004 (figure 7) and SODD005 resemble that seen in drilling at the Miki Dyke prospect and on surface at the undrilled Togeda Prospect, approximately 11 km south of Sortekap. This suggests either a continuation of dyke structures between Togeda and Sortekap prospects or the presence of additional mineralised dykes within the Ryberg Project.
Hole SODD006 intersected a new zone of quartz veins hosted in dolerite and amphibolite within an anomaly from a 3D inversion model of the aeromagnetic data; assay results indicate the zone to be associated with low-grade gold mineralisation.
Assay results from the 2022 Sortekap drilling include the following:

CASCATA AND PYRAMID RECONNAISSANCE DRILLING
Drill hole CADD003 of 416.5 m length, was drilled at Cascata (Figure 8) in 2022. The hole was located approximately 1,600 m SW from the two holes drilled by Conico in 2021 to investigate the volcano-sedimentary sequence and the proposed layered gabbroic intrusive intersected by 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 were assayed but did not return any significant mineralisation. Further geochemical interpretation of the results will be carried out to assess potential affinity with key examples of intrusions hosting known Ni-PGE mineralisation prior to deciding on future additional work at the prospect.

At Pyramid (Figure 8) PYDD001 was drilled to test under a ridge containing magnetite-altered float rocks within an area of a significant anomaly from the 2021 aeromagnetic survey. 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 from this drill core were sent for analysis.

Corporate
1.1. Resignation of Non-executive Director
Mr Thomas Abraham-James resigned as non-executive Director on the 31[st] of January 2023.
1.2. Update on Dispute with Drilling Contractor
The directors of Conico advise that Cartwright Drilling Inc (“Cartwright”), a drilling company incorporated in Newfoundland (Canada) that was engaged by Conico to undertake diamond drilling at the Ryberg and Mestersvig Projects over the 2022 Greenland field season, has continued through the arbitration process in Newfoundland to resolve a dispute in respect to invoices received by Conico from Cartwright for the 2022 field season, which Conico has refused to pay.
It is the opinion of the board of Conico that the performance of Cartwright was materially deficient in a number of key areas and not up to industry best practice and has caused loss to Conico through scheduled drilling not having been completed.
The total amount of the invoices in dispute is C$1,419,203 (approximately A$1,575,315). Cartwright currently hold a bond of C$300,000 on behalf of Conico. In the arbitration, Conico will also seek to recover substantial damages from Cartwright.
The directors of Conico will keep the market informed of any further developments as they come to hand with regard to the dispute with Cartwright.
1.3. Private Placement & Non-Renounceable Rights Issue with attaching options
The Company placed a total of 49,999,934 shares to sophisticated investors pursuant to s708 of the Corporations Act (Cwth) 2001 and Chapter 7.1 ASX Listing Rules at an issue price of $0.01 per share, together with one for two free attaching (“CNJO”) options (expiring 31 December 2026) at $0.026 exercise price. The placement raised $500,000 before expenses of the placement offer)
The Company also proceeded to undertake a non-renounceable, pro-rata rights offer to Conico shareholders (“Rights Issue”) on record at 17[th] of March 2023, also at an issue price of $0.01 per share, with one for two CNJO options consistent with the placement.
