▪ Ground and airborne geophysical surveys completed, data being interpreted

Rincon Resources Limited (Rincon or the Company) is pleased to provide an exploration update for its Laverton Gold and Telfer Gold-Copper Projects located in Western Australia.

Rincon CEO, Gary Harvey commented:

"We are pleased to have completed our maiden drilling programme at the Laverton Gold Project and we now look forward to commencing our maiden drill programme at the Hasties Prospect within our South Telfer Gold-Copper Project.

Having recently returned from a 7-day site visit with our consulting geologist, I have come to appreciate the prospectivity of our projects and looking forward to adding value through our planned exploration activities. The coming months will be an exciting time as we advance our programmes across all our projects."

LAVERTON GOLD PROJECT

A maiden 103 hole, 6,416m Air Core (AC) drill programme has been recently completed at the Laverton Gold Project aimed to define gold mineralisation over four priority areas (Figure 1).

All holes were drilled at -60 degrees to the west with samples collected as 5m composites. AC drill samples have been dispatched to the laboratory with results expected in June.

The following targets were tested:

GG Anomaly - Historical rotary air-blast (RAB) drill intercept of 4m @ 1.55g/t Au from 21m (refer prospectus dated 18/12/2020) associated with the GG multi-element soil geochemical anomaly.

Area 1 - Historical RAB intercept of 7m @ 15.95g/t Au from 21m (refer prospectus dated 18/12/2020).

Area 2 - Several historical RAB and AC drill holes containing anomalous best gold in hole values (> 0.1g/t Au) over 800m of strike length, associated with the interpreted southern extension of a Banded Iron Formation (BIF) sequence that hosts the Gladiator Gold deposits to the north of the project; and

Area 3 - Several historical RAB drill holes containing anomalous best in hole gold values (> 0.1g/t Au) over 250m of strike, associated with the interpreted southern extension of the BIF sequence that hosts the Gladiator deposits to the north.

SOUTH TELFER GOLD-COPPER PROJECT

The Company has been undertaking various activities at the South Telfer Gold-Copper Project.

Activities have included:

  • Native Title heritage clearance survey at the Hasties prospect in preparation for drilling
  • Flying of a regional Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) geophysical survey
  • Completion of a Gradient Array Induced Polarisation (GAIP) survey at the Hastie's prospect
  • Engagement of a Reverse Circulation (RC) drill contractor to complete a maiden drill program at Hasties

Drilling

At the Hasties Prospects, recently completed Heritage surveys cleared all proposed drill areas with no sites of significance identified. This has enabled the Company to secure a contractor to carry out Rincon's maiden 5,000m RC drilling programme at the project.

The planned RC drilling programme is located at both the Hasties and Hasties South East Prospects where historical exploration returned very encouraging gold-copper drill intercepts which require further infill and extensional drilling (Figure 3).

Drilling is scheduled to commence in late June to early July following site preparation works and is expected to be completed within 4 weeks from commencement.

Geophysics

As announced on 23 April 2021, the Company has now completed two geophysical surveys aimed at identifying additional drilling targets within the greater project area.

A regional airborne VTEM survey (Figure 4) was completed over the Company's south-eastern tenements in April, whilst a GAIP geophysical survey (Figure 3) was completed over the broader Hasties area during May.

Both datasets are currently being processed by independent consultants, with reports expected in coming weeks. Should any priority targets be identified, the Company will accelerate timelines to drill test these targets.
