ASX Announcement 15 October 2021

Rincon CEO, Gary Harvey commented:

“The results of this review and targeting exercise now underpins our exploration strategy for the Kiwirrkurra Copper-Gold Project where significant widths of copper mineralisation have already been drilled in widely spaced holes at Pokali. Two high-priority IOCG-style targets adjacent to this known mineralisation have been identified with drill planning well underway. Rincon has also significantly expanded its tenement position in the West Arunta with three new strategic exploration licence applications along the prospective IOCG corridor.”

Rincon Resources Limited (“ Rincon” or the “Company” ) is pleased to provide an update on planned exploration activities at its Kiwirrkurra Copper-Gold Project, located in the West Arunta Region of Western Australia, 600km west of Alice Springs.

Independent geophysical consultants, Resource Potentials, were commissioned to source open-file geophysical, geological, surface geochemical and historical drilling data, and compile, re-process and interpret the data as part of a comprehensive review and targeting program at the Company’s highly prospective Kiwirrkurra Copper-Gold Project.

Thirteen (13) priority targets have been identified within the project area, including two high-priority IOCG drill targets at the Pokali Prospect. The Company has begun planning a maiden 3,000m RC and diamond drilling program to test the two high-priority IOCG targets at Pokali, and subject to all necessary statutory approvals and heritage survey clearance, drilling at Pokali is scheduled to commence H1 2022.

The review also identified prospective areas to the east of the current project area and the Company has applied for three new exploration licences, increasing its project landholding to approximately 200km[2] (refer Figure 1).

ASX Announcement 15 October 2021

The Pokali Prospect is an underexplored, IOCG-style target, which outcrops and is mineralised from surface. Wide spaced historical drilling at Pokali is relatively shallow in context of the potential size of the mineral system. This is based upon broad copper mineralised zones in drilling, surface geochemical anomalism, strong magnetic, and gravity geophysical signatures. Several drillholes reported elevated copper mineralisation (+1.0% Cu grades) at end-of-hole with mineralisation remaining open at depth. Minimal exploration activity has been conducted at Pokali since 2012.

High-Priority Drill Targets at Pokali

Re-modelling of the historical IP data at Pokali showed several apparent coincident resistivity and chargeability anomalies, which have not been properly tested by historical drilling. The Pokali North target is considered a high priority and drilling is planned to test this area as part of the Company’s maiden drill program scheduled for early 2022 (refer Figure 2).

A total of 13 targets were identified at Pokali for follow-up work, with two targets identified as Priority 1, five are Priority 2 and six are Priority 3. A further six targets were identified regionally within E80/5241, of which two are Priority 1 and four are Priority 2 (refer Figure 4).

APPENDIX A

ABOUT KIWIRRKURRA COPPER-GOLD PROJECT

The Kiwirrkurra Project covers ~200km[2] of the highly prospective Central Australian Suture (CAS) in the West Arunta Province. The CAS represents a preserved subduction zone and has seen an increase in exploration activities with the recent discovery of the Grapple base metal target by the Lake Mackay JV (with IGO Limited (ASX: IGO) and Prodigy Gold (ASX:PRX)). The Kiwirrkurra Project is prospective for iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) style mineralisation as well as orogenic gold mineralisation.

Kiwirrkurra has been the subject of historic exploration by Ashburton Minerals Ltd (ASX:LPD) in the early to mid2000’s which delineated multiple gold and copper targets. Drilling at the Pokali Prospect has identified wide zones of low-grade copper mineralisation which has IOCG characteristics.

Ashburton’s drilling returned best results of:

PKC024 – 62m @ 0.39% Cu from 152m (incl. 14m @ 1.0% Cu from 168m)

PKC027 – 42m @ 0.33% Cu from 196m (incl. 4m @ 1.36% Cu from 222m)

PKC023 – 32m @ 0.46% Cu from 74m (incl. 6m @ 1.36% Cu from 100m)

PKC007 – 46m @ 0.37% Cu from 24m

PKC021 – 44m @ 0.30% Cu from 66m

PKC008 – 18m @ 0.52% Cu from 76m

PKC022 – 16m @ 0.45% Cu from 188m

Ashburton also conducted regional, wide spaced air core drilling which has identified multiple gold anomalies which require follow up.

Review and Targeting Discussion

Recently, the West Arunta Region has been a focus for copper-gold exploration, with several greenfield discoveries of polymetallic (Cu, Au, Ag, Zn & Pb) sulphide mineralisation at the Grapple and Bumblebee Prospects by IGO Limited (ASX:IGO), and the North Dovers IOCG Prospect by Norwest Minerals (ASX:NWM).

The Pokali Prospect is located along strike and to the west of these discoveries within Western Australia (refer Figure 5). These occurrences are all located in the Aileron Province of the Arunta Orogen and are proximal to a series of faults collectively known as the Central Australian Suture (CAS), as well as additional major tectonic lineaments and fracture zones that may have acted as large-scale pathways for mineralising intrusions and hydrothermal fluids.

Within the Kiwirrkurra Project area, the major granite-related alteration systems, potentially related to IOCGstyle mineralisation, comprise the Mt Webb Granite and Pollock Hills Formation, have been confirmed to have many similarities to the granites within the Mt Isa Inlier and the Gawler Craton (Wyborn et al., 1998[1] ), both of which are closely associated with IOCG-style copper-gold mineralisation. Strong iron alteration at the Pokali Prospect has potential IOCG affinities based on geological and geochemical data sourced from historic wide spaced drilling, and the geological setting of intrusive mafic sills and metasediments where magnetic and gravity anomalism from iron oxide minerals replacing host rocks also indicates potential for Cannington to Broken Hill-type (BHT) Ag-Pb-Zn mineralisation.

The Pokali IOCG Prospect (Pokali) correlates with a broad magnetic and gravity anomaly high. The Pokali area overlies a complex ~5km long WNW elongated magnetic anomaly (refer Figure 2), including a highly magnetic central zone where historical dipole-dipole IP surveying has been carried out and identified multiple IOCG-style drill targets.

Identification and ranking of potential targets focussed on:

  • Discrete, coincident to semi-coincident magnetic and gravity anomaly high features which have potential to represent large concentrations of Fe-oxide minerals.

ASX Announcement 15 October 2021

  • Major and minor faults which could have acted as pathways for mineralising intrusions and fluids essential for IOCG-style mineralisation.

  • Elevated potassic anomaly responses from radiometric survey data, representing potassic alteration which often accompanies copper-gold (Cu-Au) deposition.

  • Coincident to semi-coincident IP chargeability and apparent resistivity high responses.

  • Geochemical anomalies elevated in multiple IOCG pathfinder elements, which were previously tested by wide spaced drilling and copper mineralised.

  • An EM anomaly trend identified from historical airborne electro-magnetic survey data.

About Rincon

Rincon Resources Limited has a 100% interest in three highly prospective copper and gold projects in Western Australia: South Telfer, Laverton and Kiwirrkurra. Each project has been subject to historical exploration which has identified major mineralised systems which Rincon intends on exploring in order to delineate copper and gold resources.
