Indiana Resources Limited (ASX: IDA) ( ‘Indiana’ or the ‘Company’ ) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments from sophisticated and professional investors for a placement to raise $1,000,000 (before costs) to advance a number of gold targets on the Company’s strategic holding of ~5,090km[2 ] in the highly prospective Gawlor Craton Gold Province of South Australia.

In addition, the Company will undertake a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) to allow existing Eligible Shareholders (as defined below) an opportunity to acquire up to $5,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the Company. The SPP is intended to be limited to a maximum of $250,000.

Use of Funds

The funds raised under the Placement and the SPP will be used primarily at the Company’s 100% owned Central Gawler Craton Gold Project in South Australia, with an initial focus on the Minos Prospect where an expanded drill programme is planned at a spacing to assist with the calculation of a JORC resource. The future drilling programme will also likely test targets at Ariadne and Company Well, both located within the Lake Labyrinth regional shear zone.

In addition, the Company will be progressing approvals for expanded exploration activities at Earea Dam, Double Dutch and Boomerang prospects within the Central Gawler Craton.

The Company eagerly awaits assay results from a program of 10 RC holes completed at the Minos Prospect varying in depth from 72 to 210 metres, where 9 of the 10 holes drilled ended in the mineralised shear zone and the Minos prospect appears to be open along strike and at depth.

Previous significant high grade drilling intercepts at Minos include:

  • 2m @ 10.36 g/t Au from 120 metres

  • 24m @ 2.18 g/t Au from 44 metres

  • 6m @ 12.37 g/t Au from 136 metres

  • 12.5m @ 2.12 g/t Au from 150 metres

  • 14m @ 1.51 g/t Au from 86 metres

  • 5m @ 7.32 g/t Au from 105 metres

  • 10m @ 4.64 g/t Au from 130 metres

In addition, the Company recently located uncut and unassayed Diamond Drill core from previous drilling at Minos at the Core Reference Library located at Tonsley, South Australia. The HQ core hole (THDD-066) was drilled on the 600 Section line at Minos adjacent to existing Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes within the Minos Prospect as outlined above. It was drilled to a depth of 63m and core is available from 15m to 63m. Previous significant drilling intercepts on Section 600 adjacent to THDD-066 include:

  • 7m @ 1.74 g/t Au from 25 metres

  • 18m @ 1.05 g/t Au from 74 metres

  • 5m @ 7.32 g/t Au from 105 metres

  • 10m @ 4.64 g/t Au from 130 metres

  • 4m @ 3.32g/t Au from 54 metres

The core was cut in early January and sent for assay with results expected shortly.

Funds from the placement and SPP will also be used to expand the Company’s technical management team, support the commencement of arbitration activities against the Government of Tanzania and for ongoing working capital.

It should be noted that all legal costs associated with the Company’s Arbitration claim against the Government of Tanzania are fully funded through a USD $4.6 million funding facility with Litigation Capital Management Limited ( LCM ) in the UK. Monies drawn from the non-recourse financing facility are only repayable to LCM in the event of a successful Claim or settlement of the Dispute that results in the recovery of any monies. If there is no settlement or award, then LCM is not entitled to any repayment of the financing facility.
