Significant Outcropping Mineralisation Observed at Pokali, West Arunta

Highlights:

  • Pokali Prospect - Multiple outcropping copper-oxide (malachite) mineralised zones observed over structural corridor at least 2.5km long and 50m wide
  • Malachite-hematite-magnetite alteration consistent with Iron-Oxide Copper Gold ("IOCG") style systems such as Olympic Dam
  • Rock-chip samples were collected across the outcropping Pokali Hill for IOCG and rare-earth element (REE) analysis; Results expected within 3-4 weeks
  • Recent airborne electro-magnetic survey expected to generate additional REE and IOCG targets

Rincon's Managing Director, Gary Harvey commented:

"The abundance of outcropping malachite enriched quartz veining, together with alteration consisting of silica, magnetite, malachite, gossans and brecciation, observed over a strike length no less than 2.5km confirms that Pokali is potentially a very significant, untapped IOCG-style coppergold system.

"This is a great result for our first on-ground activity at our Kiwirrkurra IOCG Project, following our recent permitting approvals.

"We are eagerly awaiting the results of our recent AEM survey (refer to ASX Release dated 26 October 2022) which we anticipate will help generate new IOCG and potential REE targets like those discovered by WA1 to our north-west. We also have identified new targets with visible and extensive copper mineralisation over a significant area, still to fully assess in the new year. There are also several discreet gravity/magnetic anomalies to the northeast and southwest of Pokali that we're still yet to investigate for REE potential.

"I also welcome the involvement of highly regarded consultant Dr Carl Brauhart from Model Earth, who brings a wealth of experience in exploration geochemistry analysis and mapping, to help us unravel the potential Kiwirrkurra has to offer".

Rincon Resources Limited (Rincon or the Company) is pleased to advise it has recently completed preliminary site reconnaissance rock-chip sampling at its 100% owned Kiwirrkurra IOCG Project, located in the West Arunta Region of Western Australia.

Fifty-six (56) rock-chip samples were collected last week from various locations over the outcropping Pokali IOCG Prospect area (locally known as Pokali Hill) (refer to Figure 1). All rock-chip samples have been sent to the laboratory for precious metals and multi-element analysis including for niobium ("Nb") and rare-earth elements ("REE"). Preliminary results are expected within 3-4 weeks

of the lab receiving the samples.

Circumstances due to timing and weather however meant that only two (2) days of site reconnaissance was possible last week and only the outcropping Pokali Hill could be traversed and sampled on this occasion. We anticipate that other outcropping areas earmarked for sampling will be assessed in early 2023.

At Pokali Hill however, significant zones of malachite (oxidised copper) bearing quartz veins, quartzsulphide veining, and pervasive alteration comprising silica, malachite, magnetite, gossan, and silica-hematite breccia were observed (refer to Figures 2-5). They lie within a structural corridor extending over at least 2.5km and 50m wide, demonstrating the potential for a significant IOCGstyle copper-gold mineral system at Pokali.

Geochemistry

The Company has engaged highly regarded consultant Dr Carl Brauhart to conduct a thorough review of legacy and forthcoming geochemical data as well as to complete detailed geological and structural mapping of the Pokali area.

Dr Carl Brauhart has recently started consulting with Model Earth through his own consultancy, Camp Oven Exploration. He has more than thirty years' experience in the mining industry focussed on exploration. After doing a PhD mapping regional alteration at the Panorama VMS District in the Pilbara, Carl has mapped a wide variety of mineral systems including orogenic Au, sediment-hosted Pb-Zn, intrusion-related Au, porphyry Cu and komatiite-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE. Alongside these field investigations, Carl has developed strong skills in exploration and ore deposit geochemistry including leading the OSNACA Research Project at the University of Western Australia and presenting the Exploration Geochemistry Workshop at CSA Global.

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,random chips, or specific specialised industry standardmeasurement tools appropriate to the minerals underinvestigation, such as down-hole gamma sondes, orhandheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples shouldnot be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Rincon completed selective rock-chip sampling over outcropping areas atthe Pokali Prospect. Structural trends, areas of known mineralisationbased on historic geochemistry and drilling results, and untested areasbased on geochemical anomalism and geophysics, were targeted.Between 0.5kg and 1.5kg of rock-chip sample was collected from each
Include reference to measures taken to ensure samplerepresentivity and the appropriate calibration of anymeasurement tools or systems used. location.The sample process is considered appropriate for rock-chip sampling
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that areMaterial to the Public Report. In cases where 'industrystandard' work has been done this would be relativelysimple (e.g. 'reverse circulation drilling was used toobtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised toproduce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other casesmore explanation may be required, such as where thereis coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailedinformation.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-holehammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) anddetails (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depthof diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). No drilling was undertaken
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip samplerecoveries and results assessed. No drilling was undertaken
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensurerepresentative nature of the samples. No drilling was undertaken
Whether a relationship exists between sample recoveryand grade and whether sample bias may have occurreddue to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. No drilling was undertaken
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologicallyand geotechnically logged to a level of detail to supportappropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studiesand metallurgical studies. Rock-chip samples were described and presented in Table 1 in the contextof this report.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- samplingstages to maximise representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling isrepresentative of the in situ material collected, includingfor instance results for field duplicate/second-halfsampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size ofthe material being sampled.
Quality of assay dataand laboratory tests The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assayingand laboratory procedures used and whether thetechnique is considered partial or total. Rock-chip sample assays are pending.
