Indiana Resources Limited ( ASX: IDA ) ( ‘Indiana’ or the ‘Company’ ) is pleased to announce that follow-up RC drilling has commenced at the Minos Prospect located within Indiana’s 100% owned 5,090 km[2] Central Gawler Craton Gold Project in South Australia (Figures 1 & 2).
This RC drilling programme comprises approximately 2,000m and has been designed to infill the existing drill pattern and test the NW and SE strike extent of the known mineralised zone within the Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone (“ LLSZ ”). The LLSZ project area hosts several high-priority exploration targets including Ariadne, Partridge, Company Well, North Hicks and Minos. Drilling is expected to take 7-10 days to complete, with assay results expected in 4-6 weeks.
Company Comment
Indiana’s Executive Chairman Bronwyn Barnes said:
“ We are excited to be back on the ground at Minos, with this latest round of drilling designed to follow-up the impressive high-grade gold mineralisation intersected in our maiden campaign. Minos is shaping up as an exciting target for Indiana and is one of several encouraging prospects within the broader Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone project area to be drill tested this year. We continue to push ahead with an aggressive exploration strategy in the Gawler Craton and look forward to updating shareholders on progress in due course .”
In conjunction with this current round of drilling, Indiana will also be undertaking a follow up programme utilising a down hole televiewer on selected previously drilled holes, with the aim of providing further structural information on the LLSZ. This technology has not been utilised at Minos previously and may be useful in providing further technical information that can support planning for future drill programme.

Geological Background
The Minos prospect, located within the Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone (“ LLSZ ”), 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 2). 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.
RC Drilling
The majority of the RC drilling is planned to infill the historical and recently completed drilling with holes to be drilled between Sections 300 to 600 to provide further information and results, which will ultimately be included within a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, contingent upon results and the need for further drilling (Figure 3).
Two holes are planned to be drilled to the WNW of Section 640 which includes drill hole LLRC029. Historical drilling along the LLSZ to the WNW of Section 640 included:
-
CW80 - 4m @ 1.75g/t Au (20-24m) & 4m @ 0.74g/t Au (16-20m)
-
THRC001 - 1m @ 0.80g/t Au (65-66m) & 1m @ 0.58g/t Au (61-62m)
-
THRC002 - 1m @ 1.47g/t Au (61-62m) & 1m @ 0.64g/t Au (41-42m)
-
THRC035 - 4m @ 0.64g/t Au (44-48m) & 4m @ 0.68g/t Au (72-76)

The aim of these drill holes is to test the north western extent of the Minos prospect and to provide further geological information to assist with the geological model for Minos. Drill hole LLRC029 provided the best results from the recent drilling program and Indiana will complete a diamond drill hole aimed to drill under drill hole LLRC029 in the coming weeks.
RC holes are also planned for the south eastern end of the known prospect to test for potential mineralised zones that may have been missed by previous drilling. Holes will be drilled between 60[o] to 80[o] as necessary to the SW in order to intersect NE dipping high-grade veins evident in drill core.
Planned Exploration
The current RC drilling is the first step in a busy schedule over the next 4-6 weeks which includes:
-
Diamond drilling – 2 diamond tails and one full diamond hole (~550m drilling)
-
Air core drilling – approximately 3,600m of reconnaissance drilling to be completed along strike of Minos within the LLSZ
-
Televiewer survey – downhole survey to assist with structural information from recently completed RC drilling
The planned diamond drilling will provide important information on the geological structure of the LLSZ and the Air core programme has been designed to test the LLSZ structure that appears to trend to the NW. Further details of these planned programmes will be provided to the market prior to the start of the work.
Previous significant drilling intercepts from regional targets include:
-
Ariadne – 6m @ 4.05 g/t Au, 11m @ 2.44 g/t Au, 12m @ 1.18 g/t Au
-
Earea Dam – 4m @ 10.2 g/t Au, 3m @ 13.8 g/t Au Boomerang – 4m @ 5.44 g/t Au, 2.0m @ 10.5 g/t Au Double Dutch – 34m @ 1.18 g/t Au, 18m @ 1.07 g/t Au, 25m @ 1.25 g/t Au

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. |

Additional data has been downloaded from the South Australian Mines Department SARIG server and is publicly available • Operators: • IDA - Indiana Resources Limited (LLRC series) • MIM - MIM Exploration (CW and LL series) • Grenfell Resources (BG series) • Tarcoola Gold (EDR and EDC series) • ECG - Endeavour Copper Gold (TARC, THRC and THDD series) • Geochemical Data Calcrete assays downloaded from South Australian Mines Department SARIG server (publicly available), various companies and assay methods • IDA RC Drilling, LLRC series (this report) • RC Drilling undertaken at the Minos prospect in January 2021 • Drilling contractor was Bullion Drilling based in Port Augusta S.A. • Rig type was a Schramm T450WS with a 700+psi compressor, bit size 140mm • Samples were collected at 1m intervals from an automatic splitter, average sample weight was ~2kg • Samples analysed for Au by Bureau Veritas in Adelaide using laboratory method FA001, 40g Fire assay AAS • ECG Drilling (Minos, Ariadne and Double Dutch prospects) • Early ECG regional reconnaissance slimline AC/RC drilling (2013) was conducted with a small rig with no onboard splitter – Composite (4m) assay samples were collected via scoop from sample piles, with subsequent 1m samples (identified from anomalous composite samples) also collected via scoop • Later (2014 onwards) ECG RC drilling with a larger rig collected a bulk sample and a smaller sample for analysis (2- 3kgs) via an onboard splitter for each metre with sample split to around 1/8th. Composite (4m) assay samples were initially collected via scoop from bagged samples; with later analysis of selected 1m samples following assessment of anomalous composite results • In 2015 diamond drilling generated NQ2 and HQ triple tube (HQ3) sized core. NQ2 core was sampled as half core, and HQ3 core was sampled as either half or quarter core after being cut using a diamond saw. Drill core sample intervals ranged from 0.4- 1.25m, with smaller interval for selected geological units • Samples analysed for gold ± multi elements by Australian commercial laboratories (industry standard) |

• 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. |
• Refer to the body of text of this report for information material to the understanding of the exploration results • No known significant material information excluded from this report. Drilling which has not intersected significant mineralisation is included in Figures but not included in Significant Au Intercepts tables |

| 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 above 0.5 ppm Au allowing for 2m of internal dilution • 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 | • See figures and tables in this report |
| 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. |
||
| Balanced reporting | • Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• See figures and tables in this report |
| 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 |
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
• Planned activities discussed in text • See figures and tables in this report |
