FIRST DIAMOND HOLE AT MORDIALLOC TARGET TO BE RE-OPENED AND EXTENDED
Kincora Copper reports strong encouragement from ongoing porphyry exploration with indications that hole TRDD002 ended on the margin of a preserved porphyry system
HIGHLIGHTS
-
••
-
Drilling of the first diamond hole at the Mordialloc Target (TRDD002) (the second hole at the Trundle Project) to be reopened and extended, after assay results, independent and internal expert geological assessment support strong halo indicators of a mineralized porphyry intrusion system.
-
TRDD002 intersected favorable alteration and anomalous metal levels between 721790.25m (end- of-hole), including assays up to 0.29% copper and 272ppm molybdenum.
-
An incomplete second hole at Mordialloc (TRDD005, located 150m south of TRDD002) has intersected volcanoclastic sandstone and agglomerate at 632m, and over 12m down-hole with improved epidote-chlorite alteration and visual quartz-calcite-pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization.
-
Drilling to resume next week following a scheduled break in operations.
-
Holes TRDD003 and TRDD004, at the Bayleys and Trundle Park targets, have been completed at 721.5m and 694m respectively, within interpreted fertile porphyry settings.
-
Assay results and further geological interpretations are pending. Further follow-up holes at Trundle Park and Mordialloc are planned.
-
Kincora Copper has appointed experienced and successful exploration manager, Dr Paul Cromie, to the newly-created position of Exploration Manager Australia as the scope of the ongoing drilling program is expanded.
RareX Limited (“the Company”, “RareX”) (ASX: REE ) is pleased to report further strong encouragement in the ongoing search for the core parts of a cluster of porphyry copper-gold systems at the Trundle GoldCopper Project Joint Venture in NSW with Kincora Copper Limited (“Kincora”; TSX-V: KCC). The Trundle Project is a 65%: 35% JV between Kincora and RareX.
Kincora has received and reported assay results for hole TRDD002, the first diamond hole to be drilled at the Mordialloc Target and the second diamond hole drilled at the Trundle Project, in conjunction with results of an independent and internal geological and petrological assessment of the hole. Results from the first hole TRDD001 were reported on 6 July 2020.
John Holliday, Kincora Technical Committee Chair, and Peter Leaman, Senior VP of Exploration, commented: “Assay and petrography results for the second hole at the Trundle project strongly supports the presence of a mineralizing porphyry copper-gold system at the Mordialloc target, confirming previously announced visual and internal interpretations. Our initial and ongoing follow-up hole, TRDD005, certainly reinforces this view.

“These results coupled with the nature of the pipe-like, high-grade “finger” porphyries in the Macquarie Arc, which are vertically extensive but horizontally discrete, suggests TRDD002 ended in an ore-proximal environment.”
“An extension of TRDD002 and additional step-out holes are planned seeking the core of the targeted system, with TRDD005 already providing very encouraging results. Such a vectoring from drill-hole indicators was the exploration approach that was the key to the discovery of Cadia-Ridgeway, the majority of the Northparkes deposits and Alkane’s success at Boda.
“TRDD002 is the first hole to search to such depths. The positive indications in these first two holes drilled at Mordialloc see the target remain open in all directions and to depth”.
Kincora President and CEO, Sam Spring commented, “ The first holes of Kincora’s maiden program at Trundle, at the Trundle Park, Mordialloc and Bayley’s targets, are across ~10km N-S strike. Initial drilling provides encouragement for a cluster of fertile porphyry targets and world-class scale potential, in a brownfield setting to Northparkes, warranting further drilling beyond the initial scope of the previously announced six-hole program.
“Our maiden six-hole program at Trundle commenced during the first COVID-19 wave in Australia. It was designed to test three porphyry targets with two holes at each target and leaving the Company wellfunded.
“The conservative nature of this program was prudent given the onset of COVID-19 and associated market uncertainties, and to ensure the program could be expanded within existing cash reserves.
“Current market conditions have moved significantly in a positive direction for junior explorers with good drilling results. In particular, the gold price is at near 8-year highs, recently moving in positive correlation and lagging a strongly rising copper price; it is a great backdrop to be exploring for gold-rich copper porphyries.
“With very attractive peer group valuations to other Australian based exploration success stories it is exciting to start expanding the scope of the existing program.
“The addition of Paul Cromie as Exploration Manager Australia is very well timed in a senior project based role. Paul is an extremely high calibre and successful leader and explorer. Paul will assist oversee the acceleration of exploration at Trundle and across our district scale 1732km[2] portfolio in the Lachlan Fold Belt. The Kincora board are very pleased to welcome Paul to the team.”
The Mordialloc Target
Drilling by previous explorers at the Mordialloc target and the assay results of TRDD002 have returned metal grades comparable to the surrounding parts of the Northparkes deposits and Cadia-Ridgeway within inner- to outer propylitic style hydrothermal alteration.
Visual results from ongoing drilling at TRDD005, the second Kincora hole at the Mordialloc target and follow-up located 150m south of TRDD002, demonstrate a volcanoclastic sandstone and agglomerate host rock sequence at approximately 632m, and over 12m down hole with improved epidote-chlorite alteration and visual quartz-calcite-pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization materially more intense in comparison to TRDD002.

From 643m, 0.5m interval with abundant pyrite-epidote-chlorite is overprinted by quartz-calcite-pyritechalcopyrite-sphalerite-hematite along veins.
Drilling of TRDD005 is ongoing and will shortly resume after the current scheduled break.

A petrographic review of TRDD002 by Dr. Tony Crawford provides further encouragement to Kincora’s interpretation of having intersected strong halo indicators and of being on the margin of a high-level, preserved porphyry system.
“The well-defined inner- to outer propylitic style hydrothermal alteration, preservation of hydrothermal magnetite at the base of the hole indicate a passage into typically ore-proximal potassic- or calc-potassic alteration, and the late, probably structurally controlled phyllic overprint at 711.5m with minor anhydrite, all strongly support the presence of a mineralizing porphyry copper-gold system at the Mordialloc prospect.
“Similar propylitic epidote-chlorite-pyrite-calcite-prehnite alteration haloes surround potassic and calcpotassic alteration zones at Cadia Ridgeway and Northparkes. The coexistence of epidote with prehnite and well-formed hydrothermal titanite in TRDD002 is significant. Prehnite is a common mineral in the outer propylitic zone at Cadia Ridgeway and titanite occurs in the transition zone between potassic and propylitic alteration as well calcite-prehnite-titanite-pyrite being an assemblage documented from the inner propylitic zone at Ridgeway”.

Fine grain chalcopyrite with increased veining and pyrite was evident at the end of the hole
Drill hole TRDD002 was completed to a depth of 790m, relative to an original target depth of 700m.
The hole intersected an intrusive complex of quartz monzodiorite, quartz monzonite and quartz monzonite porphyry bodies intruded into a predominantly calcalkaline volcaniclastic sequence of fragmentals and andesite flows.
The lithologies generally display well-developed propylitic alteration throughout consisting of epidote + pyrite + chlorite ± prehnite and hematite dusting of feldspars, with local occurrences of chalcopyrite. Alteration intensity increases significantly to the end of the drill hole with higher temperature inner propylitic zone actionolite and magnetite occurring as vein selvedges indicating possible proximity to a mineralized potassic core.
Further drilling in addition to the extension of TRDD002 and ongoing TRDD005 is proposed to vector and pursue positive alteration patterns, mineralization and geophysics at the Mordialloc target to aggressively test the targeted finger porphyry setting and potential cluster of associated mineralized systems.
Such a vectoring from drill-hole indicators was the exploration approach that was the key to the discovery of Cadia-Ridgeway, the majority of the Northparkes deposits and Alkane’s success at Boda.

The Trundle Project
The Trundle project is located 30km west of the China Molybdenum Company Limited (CMOC) operated Northparkes copper-gold mill and five economic deposits, in the same Northparkes Igneous Complex.
Past explorer drilling has been extensive with the completion of 2208 holes for 61,146 metres but deeper drilling utilising modern exploration knowledge has been very limited.
Over 92% of prior drilling has been to less than 50 metres depth, a depth that the existing major mines in this belt suggest is just too shallow, with just 11 holes beyond 300 metres (0.5% of holes drilled).
Existing significant drill intersections supports vectoring to very compelling targets for Kincora’s ongoing phase 1 drilling program at three existing mineralised systems – Trundle Park, Mordiallic and Bayleys. These systems have not been drilled since industry leading Induced Polarisation survey's, including HPX’s proprietary Typhoon system, and magnetic modelling were completed.
This announcement has been authorized for release by the Board of RareX Limited.

| Trundle Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data | ||
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | |
| 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. |
• The prospects at the Trundle Project was drill tested by our Joint Venture partner, Kincora Copper Limited with Diamond Drill core by DrillIt Consulting Pty Ltd. • 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 ¼ core for PQ diameter diamond core and ½ core for HQ and 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-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 |
| Drilling Techniques |

As per body of announcement |
| 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: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth 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. |
As per body of announcement |
| 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. |
• Significant intercepts were calculated using weighted averaging • Interpreted near surface skarn gold and copper intercepts are calculated using a lower cut of 0.20g/t and 0.10% respectively. Internal dilution is below cut off. Porphyry gold and copper intercepts are calculated using a lower cut of 0.10g/t and 0.05% respectively. Internal dilution is below cut off. Porphyry gold and copper intercepts for drill hole TRDD001 are located between 284m and end of hole at 685.1m. |
| 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’). |
• Geometry of the deeper mineralised zones, including true width, is unknown due to lack of drill density |
