Progress on Re-logging of Historical Cores Including Initial XRF Results
Integrated Resources Group Limited (ASX : IRG, “IRG”, “the Company ”) is pleased to announce that re-logging of historical diamond drill cores from the Kalengwa South project has progressed with two holes now re-logged to date. XRF readings from a historical core section were also undertaken to validate high grade historical results and has furthered the Company’s understanding of the target geology.
Core re-logging to date has focused on diamond holes MR415 and MR418 from the Karibarembi prospect, with historic results previously reported as 7.3% Cu over 3.2m (incl. 23% over 0.75m) and 2.44% over 0.30m respectively.
Readings from a Handheld X-Ray Flourescence (XRF) analyser were taken from the archived half-core of MR415 in order to validate the reported historic assay results, with XRF readings given at Appendix 1. The XRF readings were taken at varying sample intervals based on visual characteristics over a 9m section of core from 11m drill depth confirming significant copper mineralisation.
The Company Exploration Manager was unable to take XRF readings from representative intervals of diamond drill core MR418 for reporting as the core was too badly damaged.
Mike Edwards, CEO, commented “These initial XRF readings are important in verifying historical drill results at Kalengwa South and highlight the prospectivity of this project. We are continuing to develop our understanding of the project geology as core re-logging and desktop studies progress.”
Re-logging of the cores has so far shown that the ore bearing zone is moderately brecciated, the main alteration assemblages include iron oxide, potassic alteration, minor scapolitization within breccia clasts and albitization which is an end member of the potassic alteration. Copper minerals include chalcocite and supergene malachite. Further, minor sulphides, being mostly pyrite, were noticed in a few localities.

From initial geological modelling, it appears that the depth and thickness of the ore bearing brecciated zone is increasing to the south of the tenement. This model will be tested and defined further through geochemical and geophysical programs, and eventually drilling which is planned for August / September after the required environmental approvals are received.

Kalengwa Projects
The ‘Kalengwa South’ Project has been determined as the flagship project in the portfolio, located on Prospecting Licence 17212, with an area totalling 557km[2] . The other three permits are contiguous and together comprise the ‘Kalengwa East’ project totalling 2,632km[2] (Prospecting Licences 18211, 17211 & 18162).
Historical drilling has been conducted on the Kalengwa South project and a significant database has been developed including over 300 shallow holes, 120 percussion holes, and 21 diamond holes which have identified four highly prospective targets. Refer to ASX announcement on 4 February 2014 for details of the project and JORC reporting. The Kalengwa East project is located in an area that is prospective for IOCG style mineralisation, similar to that of First Quantum’s Kansanshi mine to the north. Several exploration targets have already been identified from the regional magnetics.

Appendix 2: JORC Code, 2012 Edition Table 1 Reporting, Sections 1 & 2
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 (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. |
A Portable Niton XL3T handheld X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) analyser was used to estimate base metal content on competent retained ½ core material for initial verification of historical assay results from previously reported historical drilling programs. Reported sampling was completed on dried ½ core previously washed with water and brush. The face of the instrument was cleaned after ever reading. Instrument self-calibrated between readings. Readings taken from evenly measured intervals of 20cm in zones with no visible mineralization identified in geological logging, and sampling density increased to 10cm in zones with visible mineralization. |

| 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. |
Previous disclosure for historical diamond drilling at the time of project acquisition indicated that the Historic geological logging was not of a quality to support mineral resource estimation and historical exploration results are not to be relied upon for mineral resource estimation. Historical diamond core material has been located and geology is being re- logged to a level of detail to increase confidence in historical datasets to a level appropriate to support mineral resource estimation. |
| 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. |
Historical cut core has been cleaned and length of core measured for comparison to previous logs to assure that sample integrity and quantity of recovered material is appropriate. Sample spacing of XRF measurements down-hole completed on evenly measured intervals of 20cm in zones with no visible mineralization identified in logging, and sampling density increased to 10cm in zones with visible mineralizationNo study of heterogeneity or grain size of material being sampled has been undertaken to date. |
| 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 (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
The XRF results reported are considered to be semi-quantitative, with the purpose of verification of historical assay results and are used to evaluate the tenor but not absolute value of the contained mineralisation. The XRF results are not formal assays and are an estimate of Cu grades only and are not to be taken as quantitative for the purpose of mineral resource estimation. The XRF hand-held device is a Niton XL3T Readings are taken on flat cut surface of washed and dried core material Device is self-calibrated Each sample location is comprised of 3 separate 20 second readings totalling 60 seconds per reading averaged for each sample location The face of the instrument is cleaned |

| 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. |
The XRF results are an initial step in the verification process of historical exploration results to increase confidence in previous analytical work. Data is managed by IRG exploration manager Primary data is both manually and digitally recorded and results downloaded from the handheld device by the on-site geologist and data transferred to Joint Venture partners for offsite back- ups No adjustment to assay data |
| 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. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
No data reported is intended for Mineral Resource WGS 84 Zone 35S Topographic control derived from remote sensing datasets is adequate for early stage nature of exploration activities |
| 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. |
Refer to JORC Table 1 information located in Appendix A of ASX Announcement released on 4 February 2014 Current data spacing and distribution is insufficient for mineral resource estimation No sample compositing has been applied |
| 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. |
Nature and geometry of the mineralisation is the subject of further exploration work. |
| Sample security |
The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
No assessment made for historical exploration results |
| Audits or reviews |
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The Company holds rights to earn an 85% interest in an incorporated Joint Venture that holds a 100% interest in 4 granted exploration tenements in Zambia by completing an earn-in expenditure of US$825,000 by 30 Nov 2016 (refer to ASX release dated 7 May 2014 for terms of agreement). The 4 granted tenements include the Kalengwa South project located on Prospecting Licence 17212, with an area totalling 557km2. The Kalengwa East project is comprised of three contiguous permits which total 2,632km2 (Prospecting Licences 18211, 17211 & 18162) |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |

| 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: o easting and northing of the drillhole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level– elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length andinterception depth o hole length. 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 Appendix B of ASX Announcement released on 4 February 2014 |
| 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. |
Reported XRF include a summary of 58 measurements made in varying sample spacing over the 9m interval. All readings are reported and the average of the 58 reading collected does not take into account the varying sampling interval lengths. |

| 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. |
Reported intersections of historical assay results are based on a 0.5% Cu lower cut-off, no upper-cut applied and no internal dilution on nominal 1.5m interval sampling. No metal equivalent values reported, and no metal equivalency used |
|
| 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’). _ |
Historical exploration results provide only indications of extensive mineralisation within the project area and are not relied upon to quantify grade or define geometry of mineralisation |
| 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. |
Included in body of report as deemed appropriate by the Competent Person |
| 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. |
Comprehensive reporting of handheld XRF results for all diamond core interval tested to validate previous exploration results are included in the 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. |
Refer to JORC Table 1 information located in Appendix A of ASX Announcement released on 4 February 2014 |
