Indiana Resources Limited ( ASX: IDA ) ( ‘Indiana’ or the ‘Company’ ) is pleased to announce assay results have been received for diamond drill hole LLRCD027 at the Minos Prospect located within Indiana’s 100% owned 5,713 km ² Central Gawler Craton Gold Project in South Australia (Figures 1-4).
Three Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes (LLRC027, LLRC028 and LLRC045) were extended with diamond tails during July (see ASX announcement dated 14 July 2021). Assays have been received for LLRCD027 with significant results as follows:
-
19m @ 1.12g/t Au from 57m (includes previously reported RC pre-collar results)
-
10m @ 1.37g/t Au from 91m
-
1.6m @ 2.71g/t Au from 113m
The results for the first diamond hole confirm and infill earlier intersections of significant mineralisation intercepted above and below the target zone within LLRCD027 (Figure 1).
Mineralised sheared/fractured and altered (silica-siderite-sericite-pyrite) host rock was intersected in all drill holes interpreted to be located within a sub vertical shear zone immediately south of a NW-SE trending chert/quartz marker horizon. Sulphide mineralisation is commonly associated with multiple stages of fracturing in at least three different orientations.

Pyrite is associated with the fine fracturing that sometimes contains quartz and in some orientations is stylolitic in nature.
The results from the remaining two diamond tails are expected to be received within the next 4-6 weeks depending on turnaround times from the assay laboratory in South Australia.
Further drilling to commence at Ariadne and Minos
Planning is now well advanced for a maiden RC drilling programme at Ariadne comprising 12 holes for 1,340m and an additional follow up RC programme at Minos comprising 7 holes for 1,360m. It is expected that these two programmes will commence in mid-October and take approximately 10 days to complete. Bullion Drilling Co Pty Ltd is contracted to undertake the programme and have a strong working relationship with Indiana, having completed all the drill programmes to date at the Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone (LLSZ).
Heritage surveys complete at LLSZ
The Company has now also completed heritage surveys across the Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone from the Partridge Prospect in the northwest to the North Hicks Prospect in the southeast. Pending receipt of the final heritage report the Company is planning to expand exploration activities in this high priority target zone. Exploration will be aimed at determining the extent of the mineralised shear zone that extends from Minos down to Ariadne and up to Partridge. A further release will be made in due course with regards to these planned activities.
New EL’s expand Gawler Craton footprint
The Company has also recently received confirmation from the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining that its recent applications for exploration licences EL6629 and EL6667 have been granted. Indiana has also recently made further exploration licence applications, bringing its total tenement package in the Central Gawler Craton to 5,713 km[2] .
Company Comment
Indiana’s Executive Chairman Bronwyn Barnes said:
“Minos is one of several exciting and significantly underexplored gold targets within our extensive Gawler Craton portfolio, and the first batch of assay results received from diamond drilling confirm that Minos is an exceptional gold target.
Minos remains open along strike and at depth, and the planned drill programme to commence in October has been designed to test the extension of the mineralised zone. The finalisation of heritage surveys for this high priority zone will allow us to aggressively advance exploration over the next few months.
We look forward to receiving the remaining assays from diamond drilling at Minos over the coming weeks, and our team is also finalising preparations to commence our next phase of drilling at Ariadne and Minos this month.”

Next Steps
Indiana will review all of the drilling data for Minos, including historical drilling, with a view to assessing whether the drilling density is sufficient to produce a Maiden Resource Estimate or further infill drilling is required. Further geological information from the current diamond drilling program at Minos will also provide input into the proposed resource estimation for Minos.
Indiana has established a district scale ground position covering 5,713km² in the highly prospective Central Gawler Craton, which hosts a suite of advanced to early-stage targets proximal to existing gold mines and major gold discoveries.
The LLSZ is a priority exploration focus for Indiana and contains several drill ready targets positioned along a 30km strike including, Minos, North Hicks, Ariadne and Partridge. Most of the targets within the LLSZ remain considerably underexplored and have the potential for significant exploration upside as demonstrated by initial drilling results from Minos. Indiana is actively progressing regulatory approvals to expand its exploration activities in this exciting region.

Background
The Minos prospect is located within the LLSZ and is interpreted to be a 30km long WNW- ESE trending regional structure that is at least 50 to 100 metres wide. The Minos and Ariadne prospects are located within the central part of the structure whilst the Partridge and North Hicks prospects are located at the WNW and ESE extensions respectively (Figure 6). There is no outcrop or workings at Minos and the entire area is covered by at least 1 to 2 metres of soil and calcrete. The only surface expression of mineralisation within the main LLSZ near Minos is at Ariadne.
The LLSZ is a major regional structure and the Company believes that it has acted as a pathway for ore forming fluids that produced the mineralisation at Minos and Ariadne. Indiana believes that the LLSZ may potentially host further zones of gold mineralisation and will be a major focus of future exploration.
The Minos prospect forms a part of Indiana’s 100% owned exploration portfolio in the Central Gawler Craton of South Australia. With a tenement package comprising 5,713 km2, Indiana acquired the ground in late 2020 and commenced exploration activity in early 2021. There remains a number of other high potential targets within the tenement portfolio and the Company is working through land access requirements in order to expand its exploration footprint in this exciting region.
The Central Gawler Craton has outstanding potential for the discovery of significant gold deposits, as indicated by the Tunkillia Gold Project (965,000 ounce gold resource), which adjoins the southern edge of the Company’s tenements and the historical mining centre of Tarcoola, which adjoins the northern edge of the tenements, where historic production and current resources total approximately 93,000 ounces. Both Tarcoola and Tunkillia are now owned by Barton Gold Pty Ltd. In addition, Barton Gold also owns the Challenger Gold deposit, located 150 km North West of the tenement package which historically produced more than 1 million ounces.

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | **Commentary ** |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling **techniques ** |
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement 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. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • 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 (eg ‘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 explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure _of detailed information. _ |
• Diamond drilling undertaken at the Minos prospect during June/July 2021 • Drilling contractor was MJ Drilling based in Jamestown S.A. • Rig type was a UDR 650 • Diamond drill core was logged and samples selected based on lithology or other geological criteria. Half drill core was sampled and submitted for analysis. • Samples analysed for Au by Bureau Veritas in Adelaide using laboratory method FA001, 40g Fire assay AAS |
| Drilling **techniques ** |
•Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, _etc). _ |
• Hole LLRCD027 was originally drilled to 72m by RC (see ASX Release 3rdMarch for drill hole details) and then completed to 282.4m as a diamond drill hole (diamond tail). The Hole comprised HQ core from 72m to 80.6m then NQ2 core to end of hole at 282.4m. |
| Drill sample **recovery ** |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
• Drillers were responsible for reporting diamond core recovery – with recoveries generally being 100% with minimal core loss • Drilling capacity suitable to ensure representivity and maximise recovery • There is no known relationship between sample recovery and grade |
| **Logging ** | • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
• All intervals were geologically logged to an appropriate level for exploration purposes • Logging considered qualitative in nature • All core trays have been photographed both as full core and half core. • LLRCD027 has been logged in full. |

|---|---|---|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample **preparation ** |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the _material being sampled. _ |
• Half core was sampled and submitted for analysis • Sample preparation techniques, where listed, were considered appropriate for the respective sample types. • Sub-sampling stages were considered appropriate for exploration • The sample size is considered industry standard for this type of mineralisation and the grain size of the material being sampled |
| Verification of sampling **and assaying ** |
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative Company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |

Holes were routinely down hole surveyed and are being assessed for accuracy. • Grid system coordinates are GDA94 MGA Zone 53 • Prospect RL control from DGPS data (estimated accuracy ± 0.2m) and GPS (estimated accuracy +-3m). Regional RL control from either: available DTM from airborne surveys or estimation of local RL from local topographic data. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • _Whether sample compositing has been applied. _ |
• Drill hole spacing is highly variable, ranging from 20m drill hole spacing on 100m spaced drill sections to 100m spaced holes on regional traverses. • Data spacing and results are insufficient for resource estimate purposes • No compositing has been applied to assays received |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if _material. _ |
• Exploration drilling reported is both vertical and angled through mineralisation, with no known bias to the sampling of structures assessed to this point. • No sampling bias is considered to have been introduced by the drilling orientation |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | **Commentary ** |
|---|---|---|
| Drill hole **Information ** |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person _should clearly explain why this is the case. _ |
• Drill hole collar location, depth, azimuths and dips are provided within the body of this report for information material to the understanding of the exploration results • All relevant information has been included |
| Data aggregation **methods ** |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent _values should be clearly stated. _ |
• Drilling Results reported are highlights only for each prospect, typically 1m > 0.5 ppm Au. No top cutting applied to any reported result • Results were downhole composited for grades >= 0.5 g/t Au composites allowing for 2 m of internal dilution, lower cut 0.4 g/t Au, no top cut applied • No metal equivalents have been reported |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept **lengths ** |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation 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 reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole _length, true width not known’). _ |
• Reported intersections are downhole lengths – true widths are unknown at this stage • Drilling generally considered perpendicular to the target • Refer above |
| **Diagrams ** | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
• See figures and tables in this report |
| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading _reporting of Exploration Results. _ |
• All representative results have been reported |
| 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, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating _substances. _ |
• The Company continues to conduct reviews on historic exploration data from a variety of sources for meaningful exploration results and will report them in separate releases as significant detail comes to hand |
