10% Zinc Discovered at New Riqueza Prospect

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Third prospect discovered (the “Pinta Prospect”) with 3 new mineralised veins in early sampling

  • Pinta peak values: 10.00% Zn, 240g/t Ag, 11.50% Pb

  • Very strong precious metal (silver and gold) mineralisation repeated in sampling at Uchpanga

  • Uchpanga peak values: 799g/t silver and 3.59g/t gold with 6.46% zinc and 11.76% lead

  • Riqueza now hosts 30 known mineralised bodies including 24 mineralised veins:

  • Humaspunco: 26 mineralised bodies (including 20 veins) – mapping 25% complete

  • Uchpanga: 1 mineralised body (including vein and associated 750m long gossan) – mapping 10% complete

  • NEW Pinta: 3 mineralised bodies (including 3 veins) – mapping 5% complete

  • Inca’s MD en route to Peru to oversee resumption of sampling at Riqueza

Inca Minerals Limited ( Inca or the Company ) (ASX code: ICG) has received further encouraging assay results from a program of mapping and sampling recently completed at the Company’s exciting new Riqueza Project. The purpose of the program was to commence investigating an unexplored area centred 700m east of the Humaspunco Prospect – the Pinta Prospect. Preliminary mapping and subsequent assay results already confirm the discovery of three mineralised veins at the Pinta Prospect. The Uchpanga Prospect was also revisited during this program. Results confirm that, in addition to hosting strong zinc (Zn) mineralisation, Uchpanga also hosts strong silver (Ag) and gold (Au). As such Uchpanga is now highly prospective for both precious and base metals.

Currently, Riqueza now hosts a total of 30 mineralised bodies including 26 veins, mantos and breccias at Humaspunco; 1 vein and associated 750m long gossan at Uchpanga and 3 veins at Pinta. Mapping and sampling is now 25% complete at Humaspunco, 10% complete at Uchpanga and 5% complete at Pinta with the majority of the concession area yet to be covered. Additional discoveries are reasonably expected to occur with numerous vein-like structures known at all three prospects and in other parts of the project area.

Figure 1: RIGHT Uchpanga vein material comprising quartz (cream colours) with several species of sulphide (sphalerite, galena chalcopyrite and pyrite). Material such as pictured was sampled returning 6.46% Zn, 799g/t Ag, 11.76% Pb, 3.59g/t Au. This material is believed to be the leached subsurface extension of a 750m long gossan horizon. Refer also to Figures 2 and 5.

Figure 2: LEFT Plan showing the location of the three prospects within the Nueva Santa Rita concession at Riqueza; Humaspunco, Uchpanga and Pinta. The Pinta Prospect is a possible easterly extension of the Humaspunco Prospect. It hosts similarly orientated mineralised veins. It also hosts upper sections of the Jumasha Formation, which at Humaspunco, hosts a 15m thick manto sequence.

Mineralisation at Pinta

The new Pinta Prospect forms a small hill centred approximately 700m east of Humaspunco. It comprises Jumasha Formation limestones and overlying Casapalca Formation sandstones. The mapping and sampling program identified a number of structures cutting across the shallow dipping limestone and sandstone sequence. To date at least three of these structures are identified as mineralised veins (Figures 2 & 3). They range in thickness from <1.0m to 2.5m. Of the three new mineralised veins, two veins are orientated WNW-ESE and as such possibly related to the NW-SE vein set at Humaspunco. The third vein is orientated NE-SW and as such possibly related to the NE-SW vein set at Humaspunco (Figure 3).

Mineralised discoveries at Pinta include:

  • Vein PV1: WNW-ESE strike; peak assay value: 10.00% Zn, 240g/t Ag and 11.50% Pb

  • Vein PV2: WNW-ESE strike; peak assay value: 5.27% Zn, 113.8g/t Ag and 5.51% Pb

  • Vein PV3: NE-SW strike; peak assay value: 6.15% Zn, 31.6g/t Ag and 5.30% Pb

It is possible that Pinta represents a significant eastern extension of Humaspunco or a discrete new deposit, or suite of deposits. Should it be an extension of Humaspunco (outcrop between the two prospects is limited), mineralisation may be contiguous in an east-west direction over a two-kilometre distance. In any case, the addition of a third area of concentrated occurrences of mineralisation enhances the all-over prospectivity of Riqueza and provides incentive to continue the discovery phase of exploration planned for the project.

Mineralisation at Uchpanga

The small-scale mine working, Rita Maria, which is part of the Uchpanga Prospect, was revisited during the current program. Material collected from this working is believed to be vein material and the subject of this past mining activity. It contains sphalerite (Zn sulphide), galena (lead sulphide), pyrite (iron sulphide) and chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) in association with quartz and light-coloured altered clays (Figure 1). Argillic alteration is pervasive. Vein assay results from the recent program include: 6.46% Zn, 799g/t Ag, 11.76% Pb and 3.59g/t Au, which adds favourably to the sample results of the May 2016 program, 20.96% Zn, 920g/t Ag, 16.71% Pb and 2.65g/t gold (Au) (ASX announcement 2 June 2016).

==> picture [589 x 114] intentionally omitted <==

The line of workings that traverse the northern scree slope of Cerro Uchpanga that defines the Uchpanga Prospect, follow a contiguously outcropping gossan over a distance of 750m (Figure 5). The vein material sampled at Rita Maria in two programs is believed to be the “fresh” (under-ground) equivalent of this gossan. As such, it is reasonable to conclude that the gold and silver rich mineralisation recorded at Rita Maria may extend laterally for at least 750m. The gossan is open east and west and the fresh sulphides are open at depth.

Significance of Results

The results from both the May and June programs continues to confirm the very strong potential of the Riqueza Project. The discovery of Pinta, being a third area at Riqueza hosting a concentration of mineralised bodies, is adding to this potential. As well as three known veins, Pinta is also prospective for manto mineralisation as it hosts limestones at the same stratigraphic level as the mantos at Humaspunco. At Uchpanga, the high precious metal grades and alteration style strongly indicate intrusive related mineralising processes. This is not entirely unexpected, Minera IRL’s Corihuarmi gold mine and the Bethania gold-copper mine, 25km and 15km in line to the northwest of Uchpanga, are both intrusive related epithermal deposits (Figure 6).

It is believed that both Humaspunco and Pinta are replacement style mineral deposits occurring in a distal position within a large intrusive-related mineralising system. Uchpanga is an epithermal style mineral deposit occurring in a proximal position within a large intrusive-related mineralising system.

The mineralisation identified at Uchpanga is significantly different to that occurring at Humaspunco: i) mineralisation includes significant levels of Au, Cu and Mn [Humaspunco is Zn-Ag-Pb rich], ii) mineralisation occurs with quartz and pyrite [Humaspunco occurs with calcite and barite], iii) mineralisation occurs with welldeveloped argillic alteration [Humaspunco occurs with dolomite alteration], iv) mineralisation occurs with quartz stock-work veining [Humaspunco occurs with calcite/barite veining that is rarely stockwork] and v) mineralisation occurs in a volcanic sequence [Humaspunco occurs in a limestone sequence]. These differences reflect a “hotter” style of mineralisation at Uchpanga compared to Humaspunco.

Between these book-end deposits are two operating gold (copper) mines – the Corihuarmi gold mine and the Bethania gold-copper mine.

Planned Exploration at Riqueza

Since the Company commenced exploration at Riqueza it has identified 18 new mineralised veins across three prospects (Humaspunco, Uchpanga and Pinta); confirmed a 15m thick manto sequence at Humaspunco comprising four manto horizons which we now know extends west and south from previous known occurrences; and identified very strong precious metal (Ag and Au) and base metal mineralisation (Zn and Pb) at Uchpanga associated with a 750m long gossan. Mr Brown is currently returning to Riqueza to oversee the resumption of mapping and sampling which, to date, has covered a very small percentage of the total project area. Results from this new program should become available late August/early September 2016.

As previously announced (20 July 2016) all environmental base-line studies, which underpin the Riqueza drill permit application, have been completed. While awaiting the final granting of the drill permit, exploration at Riqueza continues and future exploration planned at each of the three identified prospects includes:

At Humaspunco:

  • Continue mapping and sampling.

  • Examine satellite structures for possible vein mineralisation.

  • Examine all parts of the +1% Zn soil anomaly.

  • Detailed vein and manto sampling (channel-sampling, grade-width analysis, margin characteristics).

  • Design geophysical coverage and complete survey.

  • Drill target prioritisation.

  • Trenching & Drilling.

At Uchpanga:

  • Continue mapping and sampling of the gossan.

  • Complete mapping of alteration areas in the vicinity.

  • Design geophysical coverage and complete survey.

  • Drill target prioritisation.

  • Trenching & Drilling.

At Pinta:

  • Continue mapping and sampling.

  • Examine satellite structures for possible vein mineralisation.

  • Examine stratigraphic exposures of the Jumasha Formation for possible manto mineralisation.

  • Detailed vein and manto sampling (channel-sampling, grade-width analysis, margin characteristics).

  • Design geophysical coverage and complete survey.

  • Drill target prioritisation.

  • Trenching & Drilling.

Planned project-wide future exploration includes: i) mapping and sampling of all exposures of the Jumasha Formation for possible manto mineralisation, ii) broad-based mapping and sampling traverses for possible additional mineralised prospects, and iii) broad-based geophysics.

It is the Company’s intention to create an inventory of all mineralised bodies occurring at surface. Using all mapping, sample assay and geophysical data, drill targets will be generated and prioritised ahead of drill-testing.

Appendix 1

The following information is provided to comply with the JORC Code (2012) requirements for the reporting of rock chip sampling by the Company on one concession known as Nueva Santa Rita (located in Peru).

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 standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
hand-held XRF instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
This announcement refers to assay results
from 8 rock chip samples collected by the
Company. Results for the elements Zn, Ag,
Pb, Zn, Au and Cu are presented in Table 1.
Reference is made to results of previous
exploration as described in Section 2 of
this Appendix.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
The sample locations were determined by
hand-held GPS. Sampling protocols and
QAQC are as per industry best practice
procedures.
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 1m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30g charge for fire assay’). In other cases
more explanation may be required, such as where there
is a coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
Rock chip sampling is a very widely used
sampling technique in early exploration,
typically
combined
with
geological
mapping to determine the presence of
mineralisation at a specific location of
geological interest. By virtue of its
purpose, rock chip sampling is selective.
Each sample was bagged separately and
labelled.
Samples
were
sent
to
a
laboratory for multi-element analysis.
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.).

other parties
Acknowledgement and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
This announcement refers to exploration
carried out at Riqueza by previous parties.
References include mention of veins and
mantos. The Company has previously cited
these references and in this announcement
attribute no grade to them other than those
generated by the Company.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The geological setting of the area is that of
a gently SW dipping sequence of Cretaceous
limestones and Tertiary “red-beds”, on a
western limb of a NW-SE trending anticline;
subsequently effected by a series of near
vertical Zn-Ag-Pb bearing veins/breccia and
Zn-Ag-Pb [strata-bound] mantos.
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.
N/A – no drilling or drill results were referred
to in this announcement.
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.
N/A – no drilling or drill results were referred
to in this announcement.
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.
N/A

no
weighting
averages
nor
maximum/minimum
truncations
were
applied.
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 shown in detail.
N/A

no
weighting
averages
nor
maximum/minimum
truncations
were
applied.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
N/A – no equivalents were used in this
announcement.
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’).
Vein and manto style mineralisation average
widths,
thicknesses
and
lengths
are
provided on the basis of mapping and
sampling results and not drilling. Vein
widths are not true widths as the veins dip
at an angle of between ±60˚ and 80 ˚.
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 limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
A plan showing the position of the 8
samples
has
been
provided
in
this
announcement.
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
Company
believes
the
ASX
announcement provides a balanced report
of its sampling program and relation of it to
previously reported exploration referred to
in this announcement.
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.
As well as discussing the Company’s current
mapping
and
assay
results,
this
announcement discusses the Company’s
previous exploration results announced on
2 June 2016, 22 June 2016, 29 June 2016 and
14 July 2016.
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).
By nature of early phase exploration, further
work is necessary to better understand the
mineralisation that appear characteristic of
this area.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions,
including
the
main
geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.
N/A: Refer above.
