Porphyry system further extended at Trundle Park

  • Most recent drill hole TRDD014W1 has intersected multiple skarn horizons and broad intervals of porphyry style intrusions at the Trundle Park prospect (assay results pending);

  • This hole was a wedge drilling off previous hole TRDD014 and has confirmed previous skarn intervals and extended the intrusive systems returned in both TRDD014 (65.5m @ 0.25 g/t gold & 0.04% copper, including 10m @ 0.73 g/t gold & 0.10% copper) and TRDD022 (162m @ 0.24 g/t gold & 0.04% copper, including 18m @ 0.75 g/t gold & 0.09% copper);

  • A follow up hole (TRDD028) has commenced to the west of TRDD014W1 and south of TRDD022 to further test the identified mineralized corridor and multiple phase intrusive system associated with holes TRDD022, TRDD014/W1 and TRDD001 (21.1m @ 0.25 g/t gold and 0.03% copper to end of hole);

  • The direction south from TRDD014/W1 and TRDD028 remains open for future drill testing.

Melbourne, Australia — October 29[th] , 2021

Kincora Copper Limited (the Company, Kincora) (TSXV & ASX:KCC) is pleased to provide an exploration update from ongoing drilling at Trundle Park prospect situated at the brownfield Trundle project, located in the Macquarie Arc of the Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) in NSW, Australia.

John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, noted:

“The wedge off and extension from TRDD014 has intersected the targeted monzonite system intruding a larger monzodiorite body with zones of interpreted variable to strongly developed outer potassic alteration. This setting was generally not apparent in the original TRDD014 hole and has returned larger interpreted zones of “red” monzonite and monzodiorite intrusions than TRDD022. TRDD014W1 has provided significant strike and depth extension from TRDD022, and depth extension from TRDD014.

These are encouraging signs, however, we have still not yet intersected the systems core. Our drilling has demonstrated a significant size and multiple intrusive system is present with the features suggestive of being in a proximal environment to a target that offers clear scale potential. From here, only further systematic drilling will confirm or downgrade this target.

A recently commenced follow up hole is being drilled west from and parallel to TRDD014, testing south of TRDD022, and west of both TRDD014W1 and TRDD001. A clear intrusive porphyry system target zone is emerging at the Trundle Park prospect with the south remaining open for further drilling.”

Two diamond rigs remain operational, one currently drilling TRDD028 at the Trundle Park prospect at Trundle, and the other completing a fifth hole and final of the first phase diamond drilling program at the Gateway prospect at the Fairholme project, with assay results from recent drilling pending.

Trundle Park prospect

Recent drilling at the Trundle Park prospect has confirmed a significant area and multiple intrusive porphyry system with a mineralised zone emerging.

Hole TRDD022 returned 162m @ 0.25 g/t gold, 0.04% copper and 9 ppm molybdenum (from 670m), including 46m @ 0.54 g/t gold and 0.08% copper (from 684m) and 18m @ 0.75 g/t gold and 0.09% copper (from 712m) (announced August 17[th] , 2021: “Significant gold bearing intervals at Trundle Park” ). This hole was followed up by TRDD026, a scissor hole expanding the system to the NNW with two distinct zones of the targeted monzonite intrusion with a larger monzodiorite system (announced September 23[rd] , 2021: “Porphyry system extended at Trundle Park” ).

A wedge drilling off the previous hole TRDD014 (namely TRDD014W1) sought to test the vertical extent of the main mineralised zone in TRDD022 down dip and on strike to the SSE, and to depth and horizontally towards the NNW from TRDD014 (65.5m @ 0.25 g/t gold and 0.04% copper, including 10m @ 0.73 g/t gold and 0.1% copper). While testing the intrusive target at depth under TRDD022 the wedge and extension (TRDD014W1) has intersected the targeted monzonite vein-dyke system intruding a larger monzodiorite intrusion with zones of interpreted variable to strongly developed outer potassic alteration. This setting was generally not apparent in the original TRDD014 hole and has returned larger interpreted zones of “red” monzonite and monzodiorite intrusions than TRDD022. TRDD014W1 has provided significant strike and depth extension from TRDD022, and depth extension from TRDD014.

Figure 3: TRDD022, TRDD026 and TRDD014W1 confirm a multiple phase, multiple intrusive system with demonstrated mineral tenor, analogous lithology and alteration to the targeted intrusive porphyry systems that occur elsewhere in the wider and immediate region (at Cadia and Northparkes respectively) (a) Plan view of Trundle Park prospect and planned hole TRDD028 - see Figure 3 (b) for section

From initial logging of TRDD014W1 notable zones include (with assay results pending):

  1. Upper skarn zone : cavity filling skarn with early green garnet-pyroxene-magnetite overprinted by K-feldspar-carbonate-hematite +/- pyrite +/- chalcopyrite from 298403.9m downhole, hosted by volcanoclastic rocks.

  2. Lower skarn zone : massive tan-brown garnet skarn along with some voids filled with prehnite and carbonate-epidote +/- pyrite, in turn cut by later pyrite veinlets, from 458492m downhole.

  3. Monzodiorite intrusion : with albite alteration occurs from 499-849.5m downhole, along with broad intervals containing red quartz monzonite vein dykes and an interval with garnet endoskarn (see following descriptions for points 4 and 5) and pyrite stringers +/- magnetite also noted.

  4. Quartz monzonite vein dykes : distinctly red, range from >1cm to <100cm in width, and cut the monzodiorite in two main intervals from 631-676m and 718.4-769m downhole. Traces of chalcopyrite along with minor pyrite and quartz were observed as clots and along veinlets in zones of the quartz monzonite with pyrite stringers +/magnetite also noted.

  5. Endoskarn : comprises a dark brown garnet with magnetite filling voids within the monzodiorite host rock from 690-718.4m. Magnetite alteration is strong and can also occur along fine fractures and veinlets surrounding garnet.

  6. Thrust fault then further volcanoclastic sequence : the interpreted regionally significant westerly dipping thrust fault (the Tullamore thrust) was intersected in close proximity to the forecast depth at 849.5m and defined by sheared red clays to 856m downhole, along with a preserved slice of a sheared volcanoclastic sequence +/- pyrite intersected from 856-876.65m (end of hole). The latter, indicating the potential for a stacked volcanic and intrusive system.

See Figure 6 for examples of the described rock types in TRDD014W1 with Figures 3 and 4 illustrating the current intrusive model, interpretation and target zone at the Trundle Park prospect. An illustration of the rocks and alteration in and around the core of the intrusive systems and deposits at Northparkes are provided in Figure 5.

The multiple phase, multiple intrusive setting returned in TRDD022, TRDD026 and TRDD014W1, endoskarn intersected in TRDD014W1, coupled with returned mineral tenor in TRDD022, TRDD014 and TRDD001 (21.1m @ 0.25 g/t gold and 0.03% copper to EOH), provides indicators of a proximal environment to the targeted core of an intrusive porphyry system.

The multiple intrusive deposits at the neighbouring Northparkes mine and at Cadia-Ridgeway exhibit such a setting around discrete mineralized cores of only hundreds of metres in width that are vertically extensive and occur in clusters or a series of deposits. See Figure 4 for an example of the working alteration, geological model and target zone of the Trundle Park prospect relative to the E48 deposit at Northparkes.

A follow up hole (TRDD028) has commenced to the west of and parallel to TRDD014W1, and south of TRDD022 to further test the identified mineralized corridor and targeted core of the system (see Figures 3 and 4). The direction south from TRDD014/W1 and TRDD028 remains open for future drill testing.

Drilling, Assaying, Logging and QA/QC Procedures

Sampling and QA/QC procedures are carried out by Kincora Copper Limited, and its contractors, using the Company’s protocols as per industry best practise.

All samples have been assayed at ALS Minerals Laboratories, delivered to Orange, NSW, Australia. In addition to internal checks by ALS, the Company incorporates a QA/QC sample protocol utilizing prepared standards and blanks for 5% of all assayed samples. Diamond drilling was undertaken by DrillIt Consulting Pty Ltd, from Parkes, under the supervision of our field geologists. All drill core was logged to best industry standard by well-trained geologists and Kincora’s drill core sampling protocol consisted a collection of samples over all of the logged core.

Sample interval selection was based on geological controls or mineralization or metre intervals, and/or guidance from the Technical Committee provided subsequent to daily drill and logging reports. Sample intervals are cut by the Company and delivered by the Company direct to ALS.

All reported assay results are performed by ALS and widths reported are drill core lengths. There is insufficient drilling data to date to demonstrate continuity of mineralized domains and determine the relationship between mineralization widths and intercept lengths.

True widths are not known at this stage.

Significant mineralised intervals for drilling at the Trundle project are reported based upon two different cut off grade criteria:

  • Interpreted near surface skarn gold and copper intercepts are calculated using a lower cut of 0.20g/t and 0.10% respectively; and,

  • Porphyry intrusion system gold and copper intercepts are calculated using a lower cut of 0.10g/t and 0.05% respectively.

  • Significant mineralised intervals are reported with dilution on the basis of:

  • Internal dilution is below the aforementioned respective cut off’s; and,

  • Dilutions related with core loss as flagged by a “*”.

The following assay techniques have been adopted for drilling at the Trundle project:

  • Gold: Au-AA24 (Fire assay), reported.

  • Multiple elements: ME-ICP61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES analysis for 33 elements) and ME-MS61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES & ICP-MS analysis for 48 elements), the latter report for TRDD001 and former reported for holes TRDD002-TRDD022.

  • Copper oxides and selected intervals with native copper: ME-ICP44 (Aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES analysis) has been assayed, but not reported.

  • Assay results >10g/t gold and/or 1% copper are re-assayed.

JORC TABLE 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections).

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
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 (e.g. ‘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

Kincora Copper Limited is the operator of the
Trundle Project, with drilling using diamond coring
methods by DrillIt Consulting Pty Ltd, from which
sub-samples were taken over 2 m intervals and
pulverised to produce suitable aliquots for fire assay
and ICP-MS.

Diamond drilling was used to obtain orientated
samples from the ground, which was then
structurally, geotechnically and geologically logged.

Sample interval selection was based on geological
controls and mineralization.

Sampling was completed to industry standards with
1⁄4 core for PQ and HQ diameter diamond core and
1⁄2 core for NQ diameter diamond core sent to the
lab for each sample interval.

Samples were assayed via the following methods:
- Gold: Au-AA24 (Fire assay)
- Multiple elements: ME-ICP61 (4 acid digestion
with ICP-AES analysis for 33 elements) and ME-
MS61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES & ICP-MS
analysis for 48 elements)
- Copper oxides and selected intervals with native
copper: ME-ICP44 (Aqua regia digestion with ICP-
AES analysis) has been assayed, but not reported
- Assay results >10g/t gold and/or 1% copper are
re-assayed

Historic sampling on other projects included soils,
rock chips and drilling (aircore, RAB, RC and
diamond core).
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g. 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.).

Drilling by Kincora at Trundle used diamond core
drilling with PQ, HQ and NQ diameter core
depending on drilling depth.

All Kincora core was oriented using a Reflex ACE
electronic tool.

Historic drilling on Kincora projects used a variety
of methods including aircore, rotary air blast,
reverse circulation, and diamond core. Methods are
clearly stated in the body of the previous reports
with any historic exploration results.
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.

Drill Core recovery was logged.

Diamond drill core recoveries are contained in the
body of the announcement.

Core recoveries were recorded by measuring the
total length of recovered core expressed as a
proportion of the drilled run length.

Core recoveries for most of Kincora’s drilling were
in average over 96.6%, with two holes averaging
85%

Poor recovery zones are generally associated with
later fault zones and the upper oxidised parts of
drill holes.

There is no relationship between core recoveries
and grades.
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 isqualitative or

All Kincora holes are geologically logged for their
entire length including lithology, alteration,
mineralisation (sulphides and oxides), veining and
structure.

Logging is mostly qualitative in nature, with some
visual estimation of mineral proportions that is
semi-quantitative. Measurements are taken on

structures where core is orientated.

All core is photographed.

Historic drilling was logged with logging mostly
recorded on paper in reports lodged with the NSW
Department of Mines.
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.

Once all geological information was extracted from
the drill core, the sample intervals were cut with an
Almonte automatic core saw, bagged and delivered
to the laboratory.

This is an appropriate sampling technique for this
style of mineralization and is the industry standard
for sampling of diamond drill core.

PQ and HQ sub-samples were quarter core and NQ
half core.

Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the
disseminated, generally fine-grained nature of
mineralisation being sampled.

Duplicate sampling on some native copper bearing
intervals in TRDD001 was undertaken to determine
if quarter core samples were representative, with
results indicating that sampling precision was
acceptable. No other duplicate samples were taken.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered
partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels
of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and
precision have been established.

Gold was determined by fire assay and a suite of
other elements including Cu and Mo by 4-acid
digest with ICP-AES finish at ALS laboratories in
Orange and Brisbane. Over-grade Cu (>1%) was
diluted and re-assayed by AAS.

Techniques are considered total for all elements.
Native copper mineralisation in TRDD001 was re-
assayed to check for any effects of incomplete
digestion and no issues were found.

For holes up to TRDD007 every 20th sample was
either a commercially supplied pulp standard or
pulp blank. After TRDD007 coarse blanks were
utilised.

Results for blanks and standards are checked upon
receipt of assay certificates. All standards have
reported within certified limits of accuracy and
precision.

Historic assays on other projects were mostly gold
by fire assay and other elements by ICP.
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.

Significant intercepts were calculated by Kincora’s
geological staff.

No twinned holes have been completed.

The intercepts have not been verified by
independent personal.

Logging data is captured digitally on electronic
logging tablets and sampling data is captured on
paper logs and transcribed to an electronic format
into a relational database maintained at Kincora’s
Mongolian office. Transcribed data is verified by the
logging geologist.

Assay data is received from the laboratory in
electronic format and uploaded to the master
database.

No adjustments to assay data have been made.

Outstanding assays are outlined in the body of the
announcement.
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used
to locate drill holes (collar and down-
hole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in
Mineral Resource estimation.

Collar positions are set up using a hand-held GPS
and later picked up with a DGPS to less than 10cm
horizontal and vertical accuracy.

Drillholes are surveyed downhole every 30m using
an electronic multi-shot magnetic instrument.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.


Due to the presence of magnetite in some alteration
zones, azimuth readings are occasionally unreliable
and magnetic intensity data from the survey tool is
used to identify these readings and flag them as
such in the database.
Grid system used is the Map Grid of Australia Zone
55, GDA 94 datum.
Topography in the area of Trundle is near-flat and
drill collar elevations provide adequate control
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.



Kincora drilling at Trundle is at an early stage, with
drill holes stepping out from previous
mineralisation intercepts at various distances.
Data spacing at this stage is insufficient to establish
the continuity required for a Mineral Resource
estimate.
No sample compositing was applied to Kincora
drilling.
Historic drilling on Trundle and other projects was
completed at various drill hole spacings and no
other projects have spacing sufficient to establish a
mineral resource.
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.


The orientation of Kincora drilling at Trundle has
changed as new information on the orientation of
mineralisation and structures has become available.
The angled drill holes were directed as best possible
across the known lithological and interpreted
mineralized structures.
There does not appear to be a sampling bias
introduced by hole orientation in that drilling not
parallel to mineralised structures.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
Kincora staff or their contractors oversaw all stages
of drill core sampling. Bagged samples were placed
inside polyweave sacks that were zip-tied, stored in
a locked container and then transported to the
laboratory by Kincora field personnel.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
Mining Associates has completed an review of
sampling techniques and procedures dated January
31st, 2021, as outlined in the Independent Technical
Report included in the ASX listing prospectus,

exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. 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.

For Kincora drilling at Trundle the following
methods were used:

Interpreted
near-surface
skarn
gold-copper
intercepts were aggregated using a cut-off grade of
0.20 g/t Au and 0.10% Cu respectively.

Porphyry gold-copper intercepts were aggregated
using a cut-off grade of 0.10 g/t Au and 0.05% Cu
respectively.

Internal dilution below cut off included was
generally less than 25% of the total reported
intersection length.

Core loss was included as dilution at zero values.

Average gold and copper grades calculated as
averages weighted to sample lengths.

Historic drilling results in other project areas are
reported at different cut-off grades depending on
the nature of mineralisation.
Relationship
between
mineralisati
on 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’).

Due
to
the
uncertainty
of
mineralisation
orientation, the true width of mineralisation is not
known at Trundle.

Intercepts from historic drilling reported at other
projects are also of unknown true width.
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.

Relevant diagrams are included in the body of the
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.

Intercepts reported for Kincora’s drilling at
Trundle are zones of higher grade within
unmineralized or weakly anomalous material.
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.

No other exploration data is considered material
to the reporting of results at Trundle. Other data
of interest to further exploration targeting is
included in the body of the report.

Historic exploration data coverage and results are
included in the body of the report for Kincora’s
other projects.

work

The nature and scale of planned further
work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).

areas of possible extensions, including
the main geological interpretations and

Drilling at the Mordialloc and Trundle Park
targets are ongoing at the time of publication of
this report and plans for further step-out drilling
are in place. Further drilling is proposed at other
Trundle project areas that have complementary
