ASX Announcement 22 April 2021

Rincon Resources Limited ( Rincon or the Company ) is pleased to provide a report on its activities for the March 2021 quarter.

Rincon has a 100% interest in three highly prospective copper and gold projects in Western Australia, the South Telfer, Laverton and Kiwirrkurra Projects. Each project has been subject to historical exploration which has identified priority prospects and anomalies.

The Company is planning systematic exploration of the projects, aiming to delineate copper and gold mineralised zones.

Laverton Gold Project (Laverton)

During the quarter, soil sampling was undertaken at the Laverton Gold Project, aimed at further defining geochemical anomalism previously identified by the Company. The geochemical anomalies were infill sampled using a 100m x 50m sample grid to assist drill targeting.

On 22 January 2021, Rincon announced that it had received soil sampling results for 770 soil samples collected at Laverton in December 2020. The results extended the previously identified GG anomaly with coincident anomalous Au, As and Sb results, correlating with interpreted position of cross cutting north-west trending faults interacting with the SCSZ.

Soil sampling was completed south of the GG anomaly along the SCSZ, focusing on locations where interpreted north-west cross faulting intersects the SCSZ. Elsewhere in the region, north-west structures have a strong association with gold mineralisation. At +5 ppb Au, several anomalies proximal to this interpreted favourable structural setting were identified, and further infill soil sampling was undertaken to better define these areas.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on 6 April 2021, the Company announced it had received further assay results from infill soil sampling.

A total of 456 samples were collected on a nominal 100m x 50m grid as infill to further define anomalies identified from the earlier, more broadly spaced sampling programmes reported to the ASX on 22 January 2021.

Approximately 300-400 grams of sieved (to -2.0 mm) material was collected and submitted to On-Site Laboratory Services Pty Ltd, for analysis of gold (to ppb levels) and selected gold pathfinder elements (As, Sb, Bi, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb, Te, W and Ag to ppm levels).

Encouragingly, two north-west trending semi-continuous anomalies (refer Figure 1) south of the GG Anomaly, interpreted to be associated with cross faulting along the SunshineCorio Shear Zone (SCSZ) have been defined which will now be followed up with Air-Core (AC) drilling.

ASX Announcement 22 April 2021

Maiden Drill Programme

Native Title Heritage Surveys across all planned drill areas have been completed with no areas of heritage significance identified.

A 6,000m AC drilling programme will commence in April 2021 with the aim of defining gold mineralisation over four areas highlighted in Figure 2.

GG Anomaly - Historical RAB intercept of 4m @ 1.55g/t Au from 21m associated with GG multi-element soil geochemical anomaly.

Area 1 - Historical RAB intercept of 7m @ 15.95g/t Au from 21m.

Area 2 - Several historical RAB and AC drill hole anomalies >0.1g/t Au (best Au downhole) over 800m of strike, associated with interpreted southern extension of BIF sequence that hosts the Gladiator Gold deposits to the north of the project (historical intercept of 1m @ 1.45g/t Au from 54m).

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

During the quarter, the Company completed a compulsory (Year 6) 40% area reduction on E38/2908.

SOUTH TELFER PROJECT

Photo-Geology Mapping

Photo-geology mapping and targeting was completed by independent consultants over the north-west portion of the South Telfer Project. This work resulted in eighteen (18) targets being identified with seven (7) ranked as high priority, refer Figure 3.

==> picture [525 x 370] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Photo-geology interpretation showing targets

New targets were classified according to four criteria characterised by the known mineralisation styles in the Telfer area, refer Table 2.

Table 2: Classification Criteria

Target-Style Comments
T Dark surficial tonal areas/Fe-rich soils
G Possible gossan or Fe-rich outcrop/subcrop
S Fold Structures or domes
F Possible thrusting between Isdell & Telfer Formations, possible fluid pathway
to upper Isdellunits

Ground verification, detailed geological mapping and sampling of targets zones are planned for early Q2 2021.

ASX Announcement 22 April 2021

Regional Geophysics

The Company has engaged UTS Geophysics in Perth to complete a 200m line spaced airborne VTEM survey of 1,100 line kms to be flown over priority targets, refer Figure 4.

Priority targets include:

  • Westin, where historical drilling returned a peak intercept of 8m @ 3.85g/t Au from 84m in WSA08039 (aircore hole), suggesting an east-southeast trend of elevated gold anomalism from the Trotmans Stockwork (outside of Rincon’s tenure) and Dolphy areas, parallel with stratigraphy and fold closures; and

  • Along strike from Paterson Resources’ Limited (ASX:PSL) Grace Gold Deposit along the interpreted mineralised trend running north-west and south-east.

Airborne VTEM surveys have shown to be successful in locating geophysical anomalies associated with mineralised zones within the Paterson Province. These anomalies were also detected in the nearby Grace Deposit (see Paterson Resources Limited ASX announcement 10/11/2020), and the Chicken Ranch Prospect trend (see Antipa Minerals Limited ASX announcements 20/08/2020 and 23/12/2019).

Timing for the commencement of the regional survey is being finalised but is currently scheduled for April 2021, subject to contractor availability.
