Diamond Drilling Completed at Hasties

South Telfer Copper-Gold Project

Highlights

  • 660m EIS co-funded diamond hole 22STDC002 completed at the Hasties Prospect.

  • ‘Hasties Deeps’ target zones[1] successfully tested with multiple zones of brecciation and sulphides observed.

  • Samples have been submitted to the laboratory for assaying, with results expected within 6-8 weeks.

  • The balance of the Phase 2 drilling program, comprising approximately 2,300m of RC drilling, will commence after evaluation and assessment of the diamond drilling results has been completed.

Rincon’s Managing Director, Gary Harvey commented:

“We are pleased to have completed, and successfully intersected the ‘Hasties Deeps’ target zones as intended, with multiple zones of alteration, veining, brecciation and sulphides observed throughout the hole. We are encouraged to see evidence of a sequence of alteration events that can be considered similar to other mineral systems in the Paterson Province[2] .

“While we now await the final assays, we have already engaged industry consultant Outcrop Exploration Services to assist in assessing the alteration and structure observed, which will inform our strategy for the remaining RC drilling program”.

Rincon Resources Limited ( Rincon or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on the progress of the Company’s Phase 2 drilling campaign at its flagship South Telfer Copper-Gold Project, located in the Paterson Province, Western Australia, 12km south of the Telfer Gold Mine.

The Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) co-funded diamond drillhole 22STDC002 is now complete. The EIS hole was designed to test the ‘Hasties Deep’ target area for structurally controlled coppergold mineralisation at the apex, and along the eastern limb zone, of a folded Dolerite Sill (Dolerite).

22STDC002, drilled to 660m, successfully intersected the target fold axis zone near the apex of the Dolerite, approximately 350m below the surface, and about 150m below the deepest drilled copper-gold mineralisation at the Hasties Main Zone. The hole proceeded to drill through the Dolerite and tested the eastern limb contact zone (refer Figure 2).

ASX Announcement 26 May 2022

Multiple zones of intense alteration, veining, brecciation and sulphides (mainly pyrite & minor chalcopyrite) were intersected throughout and proximal to target zones (see Photos and Table 1 below), including zones of disseminated sulphides (chalcopyrite ± pyrite), alteration and veining also within the Dolerite.

The hole has now been processed and samples sent to the laboratory for assaying. Assay results are expected within 6-8 weeks.

Next Steps and Other Activities:

The Company is awaiting the arrival of the RC drill rig to complete the remaining ~2,300m of RC drilling of the Phase 2 drilling program.

Prior to this, the Company will complete a comprehensive alteration and structural assessment of 22STDC002, with the assistance of Outcrop Exploration Services. This assessment may result in a revised interpretation of the Hasties mineral system and therefore an alternative strategy for the remaining RC drilling program.

Pending completion of the Phase 2 drilling program at Hasties, the following additional activities have been planned for 2022 at the South Telfer Project.

  1. Detailed structural mapping over the Hasties Prospect area and advanced 3D modelling of the mapped Hasties geology and structure combined with forthcoming RC and DD drilling data.

  2. Up to 10,000m of aircore drilling to commence testing new VTEM targets along the Hasties-Grace and Dolphy-Westin Trends (refer ASX release dated 7/4/2022).

  3. Orientation Ultrafine Fraction Soil sampling survey over the Westin Prospect area, and

  4. Dependant on the results of Phase 2, planning and preparations for follow-up RC and/or DD drilling programs at Hasties, RC drilling at Frenchman’s and RC/Aircore drilling Kurili Hill Prospects.

In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Company cautions that visual estimates of sulphide and oxide material abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results are required to determine the widths and grade of the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging. The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available.

ABOUT SOUTH TELFER COPPER-GOLD PROJECT

The South Telfer Copper-Gold Project covers over 500km[2] and over 40km strike, of prospective geology in the Paterson Province in Western Australia. The project area has been previously explored by Newcrest Mining which identified outcropping gold and copper mineralisation at the Hasties Prospect (Hasties) and bedrock gold anomalies at the Westin Prospect (Westin). Multiple targets have been identified in the project area with the most advanced being Hasties.

Hasties is only 12km south of Newcrest’s 32Moz Telfer Gold Mine with gold and copper mineralisation previously identified within the same sedimentary sequences known to host gold mineralisation at Telfer. Mineralisation at Hasties outcrops at surface and has been traced over 1km in strike length and is associated with brecciated sedimentary rocks. Historical drilling returned multiple wide intersections of gold and copper over a large area with mineralisation remaining open in all directions and only a small portion of the prospective strike length drill tested. Historically significant drill intercepts include*:

Hasties Gold Intercepts

  • 57.80m @ 2.05g/t Au from 17.40m incl; 16.10m @ 4.75g/t Au from 42.70m;

  • 68.00m @ 1.33g/t Au from 1.00m;

  • 36.00m @ 1.66g/t Au from 2.00m;

  • 33.20m @ 1.46g/t Au from 25.00m;

  • 23.00m @ 2.06g/t Au from 23.00m; and

  • 5.00m @ 3.73g/t Au from 50.00m.

Hasties Copper Intercepts

  • 20.60m @ 1.23% Cu from 87.60m;

  • 10.90m @ 3.39% Cu from 91.80m; and

  • 4.00m @ 4.84% Cu from 49.00m.

Historical regional exploration work was also completed at Westin, approximately 34km south-east of the Telfer Gold Mine. Previous work consisted of soil sampling and wide spaced air-core drilling. At Westin, underlying thin sand cover and sand dunes, sedimentary sequences which host gold mineralisation at Telfer have been identified, as well as a large, open, 5km long gold-in-bedrock anomaly. Best results from Westin include 8.00m @ 3.85g/t Au from 84.0m. Rincon’s tenements cover over 25km strike of prospective Telfer geology at Westin which has never been explored.

*** Refer to prospectus dated 18/12/2020 for full historical drill results.**

Appendix 1

JORC Code, 2012 Edition

Table 1 report – South Telfer Project, Hasties Prospect Phase 2 Diamond Drilling Program SECTION 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
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.
The sampling has been carried out using Diamond Core drilling (DD). A total
of 1 hole (22STDD002) was drilled in the reported program for a total of
660m. The hole was inclined at -60o. Azimuth was 3300.
A total of 687 half-core samples were collected. Core diameter was HQ and
NQ size.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representation and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
The drill hole was located by handheld GPS. Sampling was carried out under
Company protocols and QAQC procedures as per current industry practice.
See further details below.
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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
DD hole was drilled with a HQ diamond bit from 0-96m, then NQ from 96-
660m. Selected samples from 20cm to 1.2m were collected by cutting half-
core. The samples were dispatched Onsite Laboratories in Bendigo. These
samples were sorted and dried by the assay laboratory, pulverised to form
a 50gm charge for Fire Assay/AAS to 0.01 ppm levels. Full suite multi-
element analysis was via 4-acid digest and ICP-MS to ppm levels.
Results
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic,
etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
Drilling was completed by Topdrill Pty Ltd, based in Perth.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
All samples were dry. 100% sample recovery was achieved. Sample quality
was noted on the drill logs.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
Sample recovery was maximised via the use of diamond core drilling.
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
There is no observed relationship between recovery and grade in the
drilling.
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.
The hole was inspected by Company Geologists, with detailed logging using
the Companies logging scheme.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
Logging of DD samples records lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation,
weathering, colour, and other features of the samples. All samples are
stored in core trays. These trays were stored off site for future reference.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
All holes were inspected by Company Geologists.
Sub‐sampling
techniques and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half
or all core taken.
Half-core was taken for analysis.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
No non-core samples were collected.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
Samples were prepared at the Onsite Laboratories in Bendigo. Samples
were dried, and the whole sample pulverised to 90% passing 75um, and a
reference sub-sample of approximately 200g retained. A nominal 50 g was
used for the analysis (FA/AAS) with a separate split used for multi-element
analysis. The procedure is industry standard for this type of sample. Sample
loss was experienced in some holes at Hasties Main due to voids in the
oxidized zone, where no sample was recovered. This has been noted in the
Company database.

ASX Announcement 26 May 2022

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representation of
samples.
Certified Reference Materials (CRM’s), duplicates and/or blanks are
analysed with each batch of samples. These quality control results are
reported along with the sample values in the final report. Selected samples
are also re-analysed to confirm anomalous results.
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.
All samples were derived from the diamond drilling and fully represent the
intervals drilled. Quarter core samples were taken at a rate of 1:50 samples
as a duplicate sample. Samples weigh 2-3kg prior to pulverisation.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size
of the material being sampled.
Sample sizes are considered appropriate to give an indication of
mineralisation given the particle sizes and the practical requirement to
maintain manageable sample weights.
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.
Samples were analysed for gold to ppm levels via 50g fire assay / AAS finish
which gives total digestion and is appropriate for high-level samples. Multi-
element (other than gold) were analysed to ppm levels using 4-acid digest
and ICP-MS.
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.
No other measurement tools were used
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e.
lack of bias) and precision have been established.
Field Standards (Certified Reference Materials) and Blanks are inserted
regularly within the sample sequence. At the Assay Laboratory additional
Repeats, Lab Standards, Checks and Blanks are analysed concurrently with
the field samples. Results of the field and Lab QAQC samples were checked
on assay receipt. All assays met QAQC protocols, showing no levels of
contamination or sample bias. Analysis of field duplicate assay data
suggests expected levels of sampling precision, with less than 10% pair
difference.
Verification of
sampling and assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
No results have been received to-date
The use of twinned holes. Twin holes were not employed during this part of the program.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
Data is entered electronically on site. Assay files are received electronically
from the Laboratory. All data is stored in a Company database system and
maintained by the Database Manager.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No results have been received to-date
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.
Drill collar locations were located by differential GPS.
The drill rig mast is set up using a clinometer and rig is orientated using
handheld compass.
Specification of the grid system used. Grid projection is GDA94, Zone 51.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Relative Levels are allocated to the drill hole collars using current Digital
Terrain Model’s for the area. The accuracy of the DTM is estimated to be
better than 5m.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Drilling was designed to intersect mineralisation within the known
mineralized structures interpreted within the tenement.
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.

The drilling is part of a second pass drilling program. The data spacing in
insufficient to be used for resources calculations at present.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. No compositing of samples has been employed.
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.


The orientation of the drill hole (azimuth) was semi-parallel to the strike of
the targeted mineralisation when drilled at an azimuth of 330 degrees.
Holes drilled at other azimuths sub-parallel to the interpreted strike of
mineralisation and was designed to test a geophysical target at depth.
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.
The 320 degree drill orientation is approximately sub-parallel to the main
mineralised trend. It is possible there may be sampling bias as the hole may
have drilled down-dip and along strike of mineralisation.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were submitted in pre -numbered plastic bags (five calico bags per
single plastic bag), sealed and transported to the Onsite Laboratories in
Bendigo, Victoria for assaying.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
Sampling and assaying techniques are industry-standard. No specific audits
or reviews have been undertaken at this stage in the program.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
The majority of past exploration work within the project area including
drilling, surface sampling; geophysical surveys and geological mapping has
been largely completed by Newcrest, who explored the region South and
SE of Telfer Mine during the 1990-2000’s as part of a large regional
program.
Where relevant, assay data from this earlier exploration has been
incorporated into Companydatabases.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Project occurs within the Proterozoic Paterson Province and is
considered prospective for structurally controlled and replacement style

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.
Refer to table in the body of text.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations
(e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.


No assays have been received to-date.
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.

No assays have been received to-date.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No assays have been received to-date.
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
(e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
Historical drilling by previous explorers defined SE striking breccia zones
varying in dip, but generally steep to the NE or SW.
Drilling was aimed to intersect this strike approximately perpendicularly
(040 degrees). Due to constraints on access, Holes with varying azimuth’s
were drilled from the same drill pads to intersect the interpreted
mineralisation along strike or down plunge. These are noted in the collar
table in the amin body of text.
No assays have been received to-date.
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.

Refer to Figure in the body of text.
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.
Refer to results reported in body of text and summary statistics for the
elements reported.
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 body of text and this appendix.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests
for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale
step-out drilling).

Table 1 Report – South Telfer Project, Hasties Historical Drill Results

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

Drilling and sampling results reported in this report refer to results taken from exploration reports lodged by previous explorers over the prospects which are available on the West Australian Geological Survey WAMEX online database. Details refer to the specific WAMEX reports.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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.

Historical drilling data is from activities undertaken by Newcrest in
the late 1990s and 2000s.

Sampling techniques vary between the different drilling campaigns
and information has been taken from open file reports.

Aircore, reverse circulation, rotary air blast and diamond drilling
techniques were used.

Specific details are typically not reported, including measures taken
to ensure sample representivity.

Sample intervals range from 1 to 3 m, with some 5 m composite
samples assayed.
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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and
details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth
of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).



Historical drilling data is from drilling undertaken by Newcrest in the
late 1990s and 2000s.

Sampling techniques vary between the different drilling campaigns
and information has been taken from open file reports.

Aircore, reverse circulation, rotary air blast and diamond drilling
techniques were used. Details of the core diameter and drill bits are
not available.

available.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.

Historical drilling data is from drilling undertaken by Newcrest in the
late 1990s and 2000s.

Some drilling campaigns recorded sample recovery. Some DDH logs
record areas of poor recovery and no apparent bias to mineralised
zones was reported.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
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.

Historical drilling data is from drilling undertaken by Newcrest in the
late 1990s and 2000s.

1 m intervals via a riffle splitter and 1 m wet samples were collected by
grab sampling.

Some drill core was slabbed in half with one half sent for assay. Samples
ranging in size from 0.78 to 1 m in length collected. Some diamond
holes were initially sampled on a 4 m composite basis by filleting with
anomalous intervals slabbed in half with one half submitted to the

The drilling is at an early exploration stage only and no twinned holes
have been completed.

Assay data has not been adjusted.
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.
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.


Historical drilling data is from drilling undertaken by Newcrest in the
late 1990s and 2000s.

Early holes were drilled on local grid, accuracy unknown. Transformed
to National Grid using plans provided in report accuracy estimated to
be +/- 20m.

Some drillholes were drilled on Grace 76 or Hast_91 local grids and
transformed to AMG_51 datum. No topographic control.

A few drill hole collars were surveyed by mine surveyor to AMG_51
datum.

Later holes were drilled on local grid, collar position surveyed by GPS,
accuracy ~1 m down hole surveys by Eastman camera on 50 m intervals
no topographic control.

The drilling is at an early exploration stage and accuracy is sufficient for
exploration targeting.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
This is early-stage exploration data and a regular grid has not been
used. The drill spacing is suitable for reconnaissance programmes.

Drilling is at an exploration stage and the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore
Reserve estimation is not relevant. A Mineral Resource has not been
determined from this drilling data.

4m composite samples were assayed and anomalous zones were
resampled at 1 m intervals.
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.
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.

Holes were typically drilled on a local grid orientated perpendicular
to stratigraphy and the main structure.
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.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security.
No measures taken to ensure sample security have been
documented.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

No audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data have been
documented.

Exploration done
by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
The majority of past exploration work within the project area including
drilling, surface sampling; geological mapping has been largely completed
by Newcrest Mining Limited and its predecessor Newmont Mining
Australia Limited, owners of the Telfer Gold Mine. The reports are
available on the West Australian Mines Department WAMEX open file
library.
The Geological Survey of Western Australia and Geoscience Australia has
also completed regional geological and geological programs on the
Paterson Provence in which the tenements are located which are available
to member of the public.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
Parallel Range Project, gold-copper mineralisation is hosted by laminated
and banded carbonaceous pyritic dolomitic siltstones and micritic
dolomite. Intrusive dolerite units are also known to be associated with
mineralisation within the sequence. The host rocks are variably contorted
and brecciated with intense albite alteration. High grade gold,
chalcopyrite, +/-arsenopyrite, +/- pyrite occur as veins which appear linear
features and are spaced up to 50 m apart. Based on recent Leapfrog
modelling of past work undertaken by Criterion there appears to be ore
shoots associated with secondary structures cutting the veins that have a
plunge and have not been adequately tested.
South Telfer Project. Two principal targets are being targeted. Stacked
reefs associated with domal structure similar to the Telfer Gold-Copper
Mine. The second target is gold mineralisation associated with shear
zones cross cutting dolerite units intruding the sedimentary sequence.
Drillhole
Information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including
a tabulation of the following information for all
Material drillholes:

easting and northing of the drillhole collar

elevation or RL (elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drillhole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth hole
length.
Information on past drilling is available in exploration reports mentioned
in section 1 above.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Results reported have been taken from the exploration reports on the
work submitted to the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry
Regulation and Safety.
The South Telfer project is at an exploration stage of assessment and only
significant results have been tabulated for practical reasons. The location
of these holes and the relationship to other holes (without significant)
results are shown in the various diagrams.
Some of the targets are preliminary in nature and results are reported at
low detection levels.
No metal equivalent values have been reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect
to the drillhole 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 (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
All intersections reported are down hole intervals. Most drilling has been
planned to drill approximately perpendicular to the regional structures,
but the project is at an exploration stage of assessment and detailed
understanding of the mineralisation is not available.
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.
Diagrams are supplied in the main report.
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.
The report has been prepared to highlight the main targets and positive
drill results based on past exploration within the project area. Not all
exploration results are shown.
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.
Rincon has completed on ground exploration work on the tenement and is
relying on exploration data completed by the Company and previous
tenement holders within the project area.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g.
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
Further drill testing is planned, as described in this announcement.
Location of drilling is still to be determined.
