Inca Minerals Limited’s ( Inca or the Company ) (ASX code: ICG) Managing Director, Mr Ross Brown, has recently returned from Peru energised by the unfolding prospects of both the Company’s Peruvian projects being Riqueza and Cerro Rayas. Inca has completed approximately 10% of the scheduled drilling under its DIA permit at Riqueza. Results are in line with expectations of the Company. At the same time, three of the Company’s eight concession applications surrounding Riqueza have been granted. The new concessions more than double Inca’s land holding in this highly prospective area, in which BHP has accumulated a strategic position. In addition, the Company’s second zinc-focused project, Cerro Rayas, has been strengthened with the consolidation of two mining concessions covering all the old mine centres, Vilcapuquio, Torrepata and Wari (alternate spelling Huari ). An extensive data base of past mine production for the mine workings has been obtained from the previous operators.

“Riqueza is maturing as an exciting drill-active project with a majority of targets yet to be tested” says Mr Brown. “We have already proven that the E-W HV-series of veins that occur at surface at Humaspunco extend deep underground. The variable grades that we have achieved to date are reasonable to expect in start-up drilling of replacement style deposits. Indeed, the continuing success of Riqueza has fuelled our growing interest in the area”. Mr Brown added that “located a little over 15kms from Riqueza, our second zinc project, Cerro Rayas, is part of the same mineral-belt that hosts eleven deposits and mines locally.”

A total of 2,063.7m in 11 holes have been drilled to date at Riqueza (187.6m av. hole depth).

Drilling to date at Humaspunco

A NE-SW line of drill holes east of the Callancocha Structure has targeted the EW series of veins (from north to south) HV-17, HV-10, HV-09, HV-06, HV-08, HV-05, HV-07, HV-04, HV-03, HV-02 and HV-01 at Humaspunco. The holes include: RDDH-001 and RDDH-002 (twinned, angled south), RDDH-004 (overlapping RDDH001/002, angled south) and RDDH-003 (angled north). RDDH-004 also targeted the manto sequence. All the targeted features were intersected and a significant number of new EW veins were discovered (Figure 1). Assay results have been received for RDDH-001 and RDDH-002. Assay results are pending for RDDH-003, RDDH-004, RDDH-010 and RDDH-011 (refer to Table 1 for all drill hole parameters).

A system of tightly interconnecting veins and mantos is now known below the surface at Humaspunco. Approximately 400m wide and 400m deep in cross section, this mineralised system is open in all directions and is open at depth.

Zinc (Zn), silver (Ag) and lead (Pb) grades established in vein core sampling are variable. There are various geological explanations for lower vein grades in initial drilling compared to grades established in channelsampling (detailed in ASX announcement 30 June 2017) but the general belief is that the mineralising event is widespread with sulphide content (sphalerite, galena ± pyrite, chalcopyrite) dependent on mineralising temperatures, porosity and/or cavities (presence of brecciations, fracturing, dissolution), nature of gangue minerals (calcite and barite) and post-mineralisation influences (weathering, remobilisation, development of secondary mineralisation, eg smithsonite).

The subvolcanic has recently been reinterpreted as a sill (intrusive body that is largely parallel to lithology). A network of cross cutting veins and mantos is now proven to occur at Humaspunco. This network of mineralisation is approximately 400m wide (in the SW-NE plane) and up to 400m deep (from the highest surface point). It is open in all directions, including at depth.

Twinned holes RDDH-010 and RDDH-011 were drilled into the Callancocha Structure at a right-angle to its strike direction. Detailed core logging is not complete and samples have only recently been submitted for assay testing. Assays are pending . Visible mineralisation is noted within two broader intersections of faulteffected, highly altered Jumasha limestone. The estimated true (vertical) width of the Callancocha Structure is approximately 75m. It has a strike length at Humaspunco of >800m, though recent mapping (discussed below) indicates that the Callancocha Structure trends towards and forms part of a series of sulphide-bearing structures in the new concession area (refer also to the Highlights photo – page 1).

Drilling at Uchpanga

Two sets of twinned, north-angled holes RDDH-006 and RDDH007 (platform 20) and RDDH-008 and RDDH009 (platform 19) did not intersect the targeted high-grade Rita Maria vein/dyke structure. It is possible that the mineralised structure dips north and not south as initially thought which may explain why the drill holes did not intersect it. Further drilling will test this belief. Notwithstanding this, drilling did uncover low-grade stratiform Au-Ag-Cu-Zn-Pb mineralisation, hitherto not recognised at Uchpanga. This stratiform mineralisation is believed to be related to pervasive intrusive-related mineralisation which is a common and much-repeated mineralising mechanism in the eleven mines/deposits located in the vicinity.

New Concessions at Riqueza

Three of the eight concession applications surrounding the original Riqueza concession (Nueva Santa Rita) are now granted (Figure 3). These include:

  • Concession name[1] Rita Maria : Directly west of Nueva Santa Rita and overlapping with BHP (overlap granted in favour of Inca), this concession area comprises the new Riqueza West Project.

  • Concession name Uchpanga : Directly south of Nueva Santa Rita, this concession area is the first of four to be made part of the new Palcacandha Project (pronounced “ pal-kuh-cand-juh ”).

  • Concession name Picuy : Directly south-east of Nueva Santa Rita, this concession area is the second of four to be made part of the Palcacandha Project.

Figure 2: ABOVE Panorama landscape photo showing the Uchpanga Prospect in the right foreground (the white areas are mine workings); the monzodiorite/meta-gabbro intrusive stocks in the left foreground (the pale outcrop area below the grassy plateau); and the hydrothermal alteration anomaly, referred to as Alteration Ridge, in the centre background. The entire colour anomaly, extending well beyond the limits of Alteration Ridge, covers an area of 4km x 2km. Such colour anomalies are characteristic of pervasive alteration associated with intrusive-related mineralised hydrothermal systems such as that occurring at, or in association with, near-by mines, as an example, the Corihuarmi gold-copper mine.

Inca’s Project nomenclature for the greater Riqueza project area:

  • Riqueza Project: Nueva Santa Rita concession (granted, subject of 100% earn-in agreement)

  • Riqueza West Project: Rita Maria concession (granted 100%)

  • Palcacandha Project: Uchpanga concession (granted 100%), Picuy concession (granted 100%), Uchpanga II & III concessions (pending)

  • Antacocha Project: Antacocha I & II concessions (pending), Maihuasi concession (pending)

Several new mine workings and interesting outcrops were mapped as part of a first pass reconnaissance mapping program in an area immediately south of the Uchpanga Prospect, within the new Palcacandha Project. A preliminary interpretation of mapping indicates a series of highly gossanous veins and localised stockworks within a highly altered sequence of volcanics. Where fresh, these veins contain dominant pyrite and subordinate chalcopyrite (Figure 4). Several mineralised veins are aligned with the Callancocha Structure.

Interestingly, the Callancocha Structure, which is believed to be a feeder zone of Zn-Ag-Pb mineralisation at Humaspunco, strikes NE to SW directly into this new sulphide-bearing area. It is now believed that the Callancocha Structure, and other large fault structures in the greater Riqueza project area, act as major metal-conduits within a broader intrusive-related mineralised system.

“It is too early to say that there is an unbroken mineralised corridor extending between Humaspunco, Uchpanga and Alteration Ridge” says Mr Brown, “but four facts are established: 1) RDDH-010 and RDDH-011, both intersecting the Callancocha Structure, contain visible mineralisation; 2) known veins HV-12, HV-15 and HV-16 at Humaspunco and several unnamed veins (including a 5m thick vein) located within the Callancocha Structure zone, contain strong grades of Zn, Ag and Pb; 3) the SW extension of the Callancocha Structure trends straight into a new sulphide-bearing veined area at Palcacandha and 4) further SW again, the Callancocha Structure trends straight into Alteration Ridge.

Cerro Rayas

The Company has consolidated two concessions making up the Cerro Rayas Project, Elegida and Elegida 1. “Located 15km NE of Riqueza on a parallel adjacent mineral belt, Cerro Rayas is highly prospective for Zn, Ag, Pb and as such, is an excellent addition to our Zn-focussed portfolio of projects” says Mr. Brown.

The project hosts three mine workings, Vilcapuquio, Torrepata and Wari, which are located 1.2kms apart along a NW-SE corridor (Figure 8). Sampling of various underground mines in 2016 returned exceptional grades, including 42.77% peak-Zn (Table 2) (Figure 5).

During an early phase of exploration, the Company inspected the large Torrepata mine workings (Figure 7). The largest of the three workings at Cerro Rayas, it has numerous drives that provide access to a zone of mineralisation up to 5m in true width. The peak Zn value from this program is 41.59 % Zn.

Previous mapping at Cerro Rayas identified a series of breccia structures affecting Jurassic limestone. The breccias occur in line with and are parallel to the NW-SE mineral trend of the three workings (Figure 8). The breccias are believed to be related to the same mineralising event that created the Zn-Ag-Pb veins and stockwork present at the three mines.

Importance of Results – Building a Substantial Zn Presence in Peru

Riqueza is an active drilling exploration project that hosts numerous high-priority targets. To date, approximately 10% of the DIA holes have been drilled and approximately only 6% of DIA assays have been returned. “In effect, drilling is still in the start-up phase at Riqueza” says Mr Brown.

Whilst drilling continues at Riqueza, the Company is proactively building a portfolio of Zn-focussed projects in the central Peru zinc-copper belt. “We are applying the same fervour and refined practical experience obtained through developing Riqueza to other parts of this fecund mineral-belt.”

“Experience tells us that zinc, silver, lead, copper and gold are typically related to intrusive centres in this rich part of Peru. Where intrusive rocks intrude Cretaceous and/or Jurassic limestones, large mineralised systems may form. This is our exploration model at Riqueza and we believe the model is robustly applicable. We therefore believe that the greater Riqueza project area has the potential of hosting a variety of intrusive-related deposits, including replacement deposits (veins, mantos, breccias) such as at Humaspunco, epithermal deposits (stratiform/disseminated forms, veins) such as at Uchpanga and Alteration Ridge and skarn deposits such as might be the case associated with intrusive margins.”

With global peak-zinc production forecast in 2020, squeezed supply and sustained growth in demand, a significant zinc deficit and commensurate commodity price hike are expected in the coming years. The Company is intending to be well positioned in zinc-rich Peru to take advantage of this.

“Peru is the third largest producer of zinc in the world and it has the third largest reserves of zinc in the world” says Mr Brown. “With much of the country under-explored, we think Peru is high among the premier destinations in the world to explore for and find zinc and associated metals, silver, lead, copper, gold.”

As mentioned above, eleven mines/deposits occur close to Riqueza/Cerro Rayas, distributed along a local NW-SE trend referred to as the Huancavelica Mineral Belt. This belt is part of the prolific Pierina Epithermal Gold-Silver Belt and overlapping Central Peru Zn-Belt. “Mines of very significant economic importance are located in this broader catchment” says Mr Brown, “including Antamina containing 745Mt at 1.1% Cu, 0.67% Zn , Cerro de Pasco containing 120Mt at 7.2% Zn , Colquijirca/San Gregorio containing 95Mt at 7% Zn, 2.3% Pb and many others. We are not the only junior in this space, but we are certainly among the most active.”

Future Exploration

Phase One drilling is continuing at Riqueza as planned. The Company has sought to address the long lag time between hole completion and core sampling, which developed as a result of near-optimal drilling conditions with sub-optimal core logging and sampling conditions. Several high priority surface targets and surface target areas will be tested in the coming weeks as well as follow-up drill holes into the Callancocha Structure.

Assay results are pending for surface samples taken at Palcacandha. Once these are returned, follow-up work will commence which will include mapping and sampling across Alteration Ridge.

==> picture [287 x 354] intentionally omitted <==

Exploration proposed for Cerro Rayas includes detailed underground mapping and sampling of the three mine workings, Vilcapuquio, Torrepata and Wari. Reconnaissance mapping and sampling, as well as channel sampling, will focus on extensions of the mines and the breccia features. Inca continues to assess Zn-projects as part of our Peru-Zn focus.

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 does not refer to any
new
sample
assay
results.
Various
previously released grades of rock chip
sampling are referred to in the context of
the general prospectivity of the project
areas.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
This announcement does not refer to any
new sample results.
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.
This announcement does not refer to any
new sample 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.).
This announcement refers to a geological
cross section constructed with data from
four holes RDDH-001, RDDH-002, RDDH-
003 and RDDH-004. The cross section has
been previously released.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
With respect to the above mentioned four
holes, core barrel and core length
measurements were made. No significant
core loss was experienced.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
No significant core loss was experienced.
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.
N/A – refer above. With no sample loss, no
bias based on sample loss would occur.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geo-technically logged to a level of detail to
support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.
On-site
geologist(s)
log
structure,
lithology, alteration, mineralisation on a

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.
Core logging is both qualitative and
quantitative. Core photos were taken for
every core-tray.

Logging cont… The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
100% of the core hosting zones of
mineralisation were logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half
or all core taken.
No core sample assay results were
mentioned
in
this
announcement.
Notwithstanding this, in the broader
context of the drill program (described
above), core will be sawn in half. One half
will be bagged and labelled, the remaining
half will be returned to the core tray
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.
N/A – future sampling of the current drill
program (described above) will be core.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
Core sampling will follow industry best
practice.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise “representivity” of
samples.
No sub-sampling procedures will be
undertaken.
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.
The core sawing orientation will be such
that apparent mineralisation will be
equally represented in both halves of the
core. Sample intervals will be determined
by either down-hole vein and manto
intervals or by whole-metre intervals, and
be collected as either one or part metre
samples. In the case of vein and manto
sampling, sampling will be subject to
visible signs of mineralisation. In all cases,
measures
to
ensure
representative
sampling will take place.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size
of the material being sampled.
The sample sizes will be adequate in terms
of
the
nature
and
distribution
of
mineralisation visible in the core. Where
vein and manto intervals are sub-one
metre, sampling will be sub-one metre.
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.
N/A – No drill core assay results are
referred to in this announcement.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Drill hole
information (Ctd)
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 – drill parameters are provided in Table
1 (in-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.
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’).
This announcement discusses a previously
released cross section constructed with
data from four drill holes (listed above). The
cross section is considered reasonable and
accurate and therefore no sample bias is
believed to have occurred. No assays were
mentioned in regarding to this cross section.
Mineralised intersections should be seen as
down hole intervals only.
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 and cross section are provided
showing the position of the drill holes
subject of 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 occur to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
The
Company
believes
the
ASX
announcement provides a balanced report
of its exploration results 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.
This announcement makes reference to
information
(geological
interpretations,
grades, assay tables, photos and figures)
contained
in
six
previous
ASX
announcements dated: 30 June 2017, 16
June 2017, 12 April 2017, 7 February 2017, 29
November 2016, 12 October 2015.
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 appearing in the drill hole
subject of this announcement.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions,
including
the
main
geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.
