DRILLER MOBILISED AND GLOBAL MAJOR BECOMES

NEIGHBOUR AT RIQUEZA

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Drillers mobilised at Riqueza

  • Systematic mapping identifies many more mineralised veins + size of known veins increases

  • BHP Billiton apply for ground adjacent to Riqueza

Inca Minerals Limited’s ( Inca or the Company ) (ASX code: ICG) drilling contractor, Energold Drilling Corp ( Energold ), has completed mobilisation to Riqueza. Mobilisation has occurred in expectation the Company should soon be formally advised by authorities of the official drilling start date. “Riqueza is well accessed by sealed and all-weather gravel roads,” says Inca’s Managing Director Mr Ross Brown. “The local byways connect several mining operations near to Riqueza (Figure 1) and are maintained on a regular basis. Energold’s rigs have now safely arrived at Riqueza.”

Mobilisation of the diamond core rigs marks the beginning of the Company’s maiden drill campaign at Riqueza. A total of approximately 48 holes are planned under the DIA permit.

As mentioned in previous ASX announcements the Company’s DIA drill permit has a total capacity of 16,800m (14,000m + 20% top-up of 2,800m), which will be divided into three phases. The first phase of circa 5,600m is planned to test targets at Humaspunco, Humaspunco South and Uchpanga.

Systematic Mapping and Sampling

Systematic mapping and sampling has resumed at Riqueza’s Humaspunco prospect. The previously stated objective of this ongoing program is to map and channel sample the original (pre-Inca) veins at Humaspunco (veins HV1 to HV10) that were not subject of the Company’s reconnaissance mapping and sampling in 2016. To date HV1-HV10 have been mapped and HV5-HV10 have been sampled. Interim vein parameters are listed in Table 1.

Detailed mapping results show that HV1-HV10 veins are considerably more extensive than previously believed with significant strike extensions in the southeast direction. Veins HV6, 9 and 10, for example, extend a further 200m to the southeast where they appear to coalesce (Figure 6).

Figure 2: RIGHT Geological assistants measuring the width of one of the large EW veins during systematic mapping and sampling. The veins were trenched every 10m and channel sampled margin to margin.

“The veins identified prior to Inca’s involvement at Riqueza, which we call veins HV1 to HV10, were believed limited to a small part of Humaspunco” says Mr Brown. “Our work now indicates that these veins are longer and more extensive down the steeper sections of Humaspunco Hill toward the new Pinta Prospect (Figure 6).” The revised total combined strike length of the HV1-HV10 veins and new associated veins, now being uncovered, is approximately 4,500m. It is important to note that most of these veins remain open to the southeast and northwest. Previously, the total combined length of the 36 named veins at Humaspunco was approximately 4,000m. The revised total vein length (including HV1 to HV36) is now in the order of 6,000m and this figure does not include combined lengths of the myriad of other newly discovered veins.

Systematic mapping has also identified innumerable interstitial veins and veinlets, many of which are curvilinear and bifurcated (Figures 4 & 6). These appear concentrated at the western and eastern exposures of the main EW vein set. It is believed many of these veins and veinlets are tension gashes (or dilation veins) formed as a result of lateral fault movement of the Callancocha Structure. “Tension gashes can be highly mineralised in mineral deposits when fault movement coincides with mineralisation. At Humaspunco, these tension gashes are mineralised. We believe the Callancocha Structure was active when metal-bearing fluids were introduced into the Humaspunco sequence - entirely consistent with the Callancocha Structure being a feeder zone, as per exploration model” says Mr Brown.

Figure 3: LEFT A veinlet with coarse galena (lead sulphide) and sphalerite (zinc sulphide) occurring with barite along the margin of one of the large EW veins. There are innumerable such veinlets that appear to be concentrated near the Callancocha Structure (Figures 4 & 6).

Additional large scale veins have also been identified for the first time during systematic mapping and sampling. Of particular interest is a series of NS veins (the widest is 5m across) which are parallel/subparallel to and believed part of the Callancocha Structure. Further trenching is needed to determine the full extent of these new veins but extant trenches to the NE indicate the prevalence of numerous additional mineralised veins and carbonate-barite bearing fractures (Figures 4 & 6).

The Company’s latest mapping now shows that the Callancocha Structure comprises a complex system of faults and veins and is up to 75m across and 800m long (0pen to the north and south and at depth) (Figures 4 & 6). It defines a broad zone of structural weakness believed to be a large mineralised feeder zone comprising numerous mineralised veins, tension gashes, fractures and faults.

“The Callancocha Structure [feeder zone] is emerging as a very attractive target. It comprises strongly mineralised veins already sampled (HV11, HV15 and HV16) and several newly discovered mineralised veins yet to be sampled (including a 5m wide vein). It now also comprises multiple splays and appears responsible for the numerous mineralised tension gashes. It clearly influences mineralisation and is now a high priority drill target” says Mr Brown.

Three additional breccias have also been identified at Humaspunco. These are closely associated with veins HV10, Hv17, and several new NS un-sampled veins (Figure 6 INSERT).

The grades of HV5 to HV10 show considerable variation compared to the uniformly high grades achieved in the reconnaissance programs. This is a function of the nature of channel sampling (non-selective continuous sampling at fixed intervals) and the highly “vuggy” nature of the sulphides (meaning coarse aggregates of galena and sphalerite within a gangue of barite and calcite in this case). The vugs, typically irregular in shape, develop in solution and/or breccia related cavities which are characteristic of replacement-style mineralisation. “The high frequency of these features [cavities] at Humaspunco, as evidenced by the abundance of brecciated veins, mantos; breccia chimneys; tension gashes and solution cavities, is very positive in terms of potential sites of sulphide concentration” says Mr Brown.

  • Average grade of sample population per vein

The average grades of the sample-batches of each vein (HV5 to HV10) are presented in Table 1. The level of mineralisation in these veins is highly encouraging, ranging from 2.50% to 8.58% Zn , 60.0g/t to 114.8g/t Ag and 2.01% to 7.32% Pb . To highlight this, the sample-batch grades of HV5-Hv10 compare very favourably to grades of developing zinc mines presented in Table 3.

BHP Billiton Apply for Concessions Adjacent to Riqueza

BHP Billiton World Exploration Incorporated ( BHP ) has applied for four concessions immediately adjacent to and in some cases appear partially overlapping Riqueza (Figure 5). BHP’s applications, Kenita 01-04 (Figure 5 – Pink), were lodged in early 2017, well after Inca’s applications (Figure 5 – see Orange and Green Cross-Hatched). Recent changes to Peru’s geographic datum system has caused BHP’s subsequent concession applications to appear to overlap with Inca’s prior concessions. However, Inca’s concession applications pre-date and prevail over those of BHP and no Inca ground will be lost.

“The BHP applications cover ground between Riqueza and the Bethanja mine and are therefore on the mineral trend that Inca identified as being a regional control on intrusive-related replacement deposits. It appears BHP agree” says Mr Brown. BHP own 33.75% of the Antamina Cu-Zn mine in Peru, a large tonnage, low cost operation. Antamina is one of the largest Cu-Zn mines in the world and has a remaining life of mine of 15 years.

Next Steps

With announcement of the drilling commencement date now imminent, Phase 1 drilling is expected to commence very soon. “We expect a conservative monthly meterage of between 1,000m and 1,200m” says Mr Brown. “We then expect a two to four week turnaround in assay results. This is a rough timeline for the first available assay results.”

The Company has previously outlined details of the planned Riqueza drilling campaign in its ASX announcement 7 February 2017. Some 16,800m of metres of drilling are planned and the three main phases of the campaign are listed in Table 2.

Phase 1 is the largest of the three phases and intended to achieve a broad understanding of the resource potential of Humaspunco, Humaspunco South (a recently described prospect south of Humaspunco) and Uchpanga. It will feature broad-spaced angled holes spread along strike with closer-spaced, overlapping angled holes spread across strike. “Phase 1 should provide an indication of the tonnage potential of Humaspunco and a better idea of the nature of mineralisation at Uchpanga, an enigmatic zone of bonanza grade Zn-Ag-Pb-Au mineralisation at Riqueza” says Mr Brown.

The objective of Phases 2 and 3 is to systematically in-fill and extend mineralised sections (achieved in Phase 1) to generate an interconnecting matrix of mineralisation. The intention is to begin the process of resource building and, should the results prove positive, deliver the Company, in a timely manner, a JORC-compliant Exploration Target (expressed as a range of tonnes at a range of grades).

“We are optimistic that the mineralised veins, mantos and breccias at Humaspunco-Pinta may prove to form a coherent deposit” says Mr Brown. “Certainly, simple projections based on outcrop position and dip and strike measurements indicate that the veins and mantos will regularly intersect and on that basis may form a broad network of mineralisation. Should we also find that Humaspunco is potentially linked to Uchpanga, then Riqueza might develop into a very significant Zn-Ag-Pb+(Au-Cu) project indeed.”

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 a systematic
channel sample program targeting 10
mineralised vein structures. The samples
were taken from trenches spaced 10m
apart, cut perpendicularly across the vein
structures. Veins were sampled from
hanging wall margin to footwall margin
with individual samples representing a
continuous 1m section.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
The sample locations of those mentioned
above
were
determined
by
tape
measurements
and
hand-held
GPS.
Sampling protocols and QAQC are as per
industry best practice.
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.
Channel sampling is a widely used
sampling technique deployed in early to
mid-phases of exploration. The technique
is preferred where rock exposure is good
(approaching 100%) across sample-target
zones of visible or possible mineralisation.
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.).
N/A – no drill results were referred to in
this announcement.

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 – no drill results were referred to in

Channel sampling is a technique that
directly_samples in situ_rock. In the case of
sampling subject of this announcement,
the_in situ_rock comprises mineralised
veins exposed by trenching at regular 10m
intervals.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size
of the material being sampled.
The sample sizes are considered adequate

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.
The analytical assay technique used in the
elemental testing of the samples for non-
Au was four-acid digestion and HCl leach,
which is considered a “complete” digest
for most material types. Elemental
analysis was via ICP and atomic emission
spectrometry. Over 20% detection analysis
includes additional titration analysis. Au
techniques included Fire Assay with AA
finish. The analytical assay technique used
in the elemental testing is considered
industry best practice.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, hand-held XRF
instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining
the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
N/A - No geophysical tool or electronic
device was used in the generation of
sample results other than those used by
the laboratory in line with industry best
practice.
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.
Blanks, duplicates and standards were
used as
standard laboratory QAQC
procedures.
Verification of
sampling and assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
The
sample
assay
results
are
independently generated by SGS Del Peru
(SGS) who conduct QAQC procedures,
which follow industry best practice.

use of government topographic maps, in
association with GPS and Digital Terrain
Maps (DTM’s), the latter generated during
antecedent detailed geophysical surveys.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. The distribution of the channel samples
follows industry best practice. Trench
spacing of 10m is considered adequate
based on the strike-length of the sampled
veins (typically long than 100m). The
trench orientations were perpendicular to
the vein structure direction.
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.
Please refer immediately above. Note that
no Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation has been provided in this
announcement. The sample population of
that released in this announcement is
insufficient to obtain an Exploration
Target and additional sampling, to achieve
this, would be required.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Sample compositing was applied, in so far
as, assay results of individual samples from
trenches were averaged where the vein
was
greater
in
width
than
1m
(necessitating more than one sample).
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 distribution of the channel samples
follows industry best practice.
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.
N/A – no drilling or drill results were
referred to in this announcement.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Sample security was managed by Inca in
line with industry best practice.

Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership
including agreements or material issues with third
parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding
royalties, native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and environmental
settings.
Tenement
Type:
Peruvian
mining
concession.
Concession Name: Nueva Santa Rita.
Ownership: The Company has a 5-year
concession transfer option and assignment
agreement (“Agreement”) whereby the
Company may earn 100% outright ownership
of the concession.
The security of the land tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
The Agreement and concession are in good
standing at the time of writing.
Exploration done by
other parties
Acknowledgement and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
This announcement does not refer to
exploration conducted by previous parties.
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 affected by a series of near
vertical Zn-Ag-Pb bearing veins/breccia and
Zn-Ag-Pb [strata-parallel] 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 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 drill results were referred to in this
announcement.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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.
Weighted averages were applied where
margin to margin channel sample lengths,
across the vein structure were part of a
metre. For example, where two adjacent
channel samples represent one continuous
metre and a half of the continuous metre
(because the vein is 1.5m across) a weighted
average was used.
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’).
Average vein widths, listed on Table 1, are
provided, however, no representations of
mineralisation width are made in this
announcement.
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.
Plans are provided showing the position of
each trench from which channel samples
were taken.
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.
This
announcement
does
not
make
substantial reference to other exploration
data.
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
the channel-sampled veins. The Company is
embarking on a campaign of drill testing to
achieve is improved knowledge.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions,
including
the
main
geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.
