Potential for Callancocha Structure to host several Rastrillo-like deposits
-
Greater Riqueza geophysical survey helicopter to mobilise 14 May 2018
Inca Minerals Limited’s ( Inca or the Company ) Managing Director, Mr Ross Brown has recently returned from a successful trip to Peru visiting the Rastrillo Deposit ( Rastrillo ) and the Callancocha Structure area at the Greater Riqueza Zn-Ag-Pb Project ( Riqueza ). Significant new visible mineralisation representing important extensions of mineralisation at Rastrillo and possible additional Rastrillo-like deposits along the Callancocha Structure has been discovered.
SE Extension of Rastrillo (Batch 17)
Channel sample results of batch 17, southeast of batch 14 (Figure 2), show strong mineralisation over significant widths (Table 2) associated with vein HV02. Results include: 6.89% Zn, 317g/t Ag, 16.36% Pb over 3.0m (channel 4); and 5.64% Zn, 93.99g/t Ag, 3.82% Pb over 4.0m (channel 10). These grade-overwidth values show economic potential.
Figure 1: RIGHT : The Callancocha Structure with Rastrillo in the background and new exploration uncovering additional mineralisation in the foreground (to be part of batches 18, 19 and 20). As discussed later in this announcement, the Chonta Fault runs along the southern edge of Humaspunco. It, and associated faults, are known to play a major role in the distribution of mineralisation within a 100- kilometre long corridor (Figures 5 & 6).

These new results add to the growing inventory of significant grade-over-width values at Rastrillo previously announced to the market (ASX Announcement 22 February 2018). Past results include:
-
2.72% Zn, 95.72g/t Ag, 6.30% Pb over 4.6m (batch 8).
-
3.57% Zn, 70.01g/t Ag, 4.04% Pb over 10.1m (batch 8).
-
2.79% Zn, 69.77g/t Ag, 3.13% Pb over 11.47m (batch 11).
-
2.31% Zn, 67.92g/t Ag, 4.05% Pb over 14.65m (batch 16A).
“Rastrillo continues to demonstrate potential with consistent strong grades of zinc, lead and silver, which in places, is over ten metres wide” says Mr Brown. “The tenor of combined metal grades is certainly encouraging.”
Rastrillo is a Zn-Ag-Pb deposit made up of multiple components including mineralised faults, veins, stockworks, breccias and mantos. It is believed to have formed at the intersection between the Callancocha Structure and a set of perpendicular faults/joints when metal-bearing fluids infiltrated weaknesses or cavities caused by faulting, wrenching and brecciation.
Additional Deposits Along the Callancocha Structure
Mapping north and south of Rastrillo is indicating that “Rastrillo-like” deposits are repeating along the length of the Callancocha Structure at Humaspunco. To the north, a pattern of northeast-southwest faults intersecting northwest-southeast veins with curvilinear tension gash veins and stockworks has been identified (Figures 3 & 4). To the south a similar pattern is emerging where new HV-veins are intersecting the Callancocha Structure (Figure 4).
“We are in the process of determining if we have three Rastrillo-like deposits along the Callancocha Structure or one large Rastrillo deposit extending for the entire eight hundred metre length of the structure” says Mr Brown. “It is the intention of the Company to fully examine the economic potential and possible resource of this unfolding area.”
Mapping and sampling south of Rastrillo along the Callancocha Structure is well advanced with batches 18 to 20 pending. Following completion of the mapping and sampling in the southern area, work will switch to north of Rastrillo.

Callancocha Structure Associated with the Chonta Fault
The Chonta Fault is a well-documented northwest-southeast trending regional structure that is believed to control the distribution of mineral deposits/mines in the central Peruvian polymetallic mineral belt (Figures 5 & 6). Recent research locates the Chonta Fault immediately south of Humaspunco, forming the southern boundary of the Humaspunco Hill (INSERT Figure 5). The Callancocha Structure, long since recognised by the Company as an important control in project-scale Zn-Ag-Pb mineralisation at Riqueza, is now considered a wrench fault extending northeast from the Chonta Fault.
The very-near proximity of the Chonta Fault to Humaspunco and its genetic link to the Callancocha Structure greatly enhances the prospectivity of the area.
The Chonta Fault extends for more than 100kms in Central Peru and defines, what the Company refers to as, the Chonta polymetallic mineral belt ( CPMB ). Major structures within the CPMB control dozens of deposits/mines along its course, including several mineralised porphyry systems and dozens of replacement polymetallic Zn-Ag-Pb deposits (Figures 5 & 6). “Based on my recent investigations, porphyryfocussed exploration is definitely on the increase in this area” says Mr Brown.

Figure 5 ABOVE : Satellite image of the CPMB. The Chonta Fault is the principal structure of a network of branching structures that generally trend northwest-southeast across central Peru. Several of the +30 mines/deposits that occur in this area are marked by white dots. There are several active treatment plants within this area (three indicated by white squares). Porphyries also occur in the CPMB; One occurs within 15kms of Riqueza at Bethania (P). INSERT : Closeup of Humaspunco showing the location of the Chonta Fault, the Callancocha Structure and the Rastrillo Deposit(s). The insert also shows the location of the intrusive stock (I) at the Pampa Corral Prospect which the Company discovered in 2017.

Figure 6 ABOVE : Satellite image showing Humaspunco and Kenita. Also shown is a set of northeast-southwest trending lineaments (red lines), including the Callancocha Structure. The Callancocha Structure, which hosts the Rastrillo Deposit, is now believed to be a splay fault from the regional-scale, ore-controlling Chonta Fault (yellow line). The Chonta Fault continues northwest where it influences the Bethania Zn-Ag-Pb Mine (and porphyry) and the Corihuarmi Au Mine. The second large fault marked in the diagram continues northwest where it influences the Heraldos Negros Zn-Ag-Pb Mine.
Geophysics Program Update
The 1,884-line kilometre airborne magnetics-radiometrics ( AMAGRAD ) survey at Greater Riqueza remains on schedule. Mobilisation and establishment of the operations base has been completed with the survey helicopter set to mobilise on 14 May 2018 (weather permitting). Production flights are scheduled to commence shortly thereafter.
Knowledge of the occurrence of deep crustal structures like the Chonta Fault at Riqueza is well timed ahead of the South32-Inca geophysical survey. “Features such as the Chonta Fault and the Callancocha Structure might be expected to have a distinctive geophysical signature” says Mr Brown.

| Deposit Geophysics Grade-0ver-width Channel Sampling Batch Fault Vein Stockwork Country Rock Brecciation/Breccia Manto Clasts Matrix Ore-forming Minerals Galena Sphalerite Smithsonite Gangue Minerals Calcite Barite |
A [mineral] deposit is a naturally occurring accumulation or concentration of metals or minerals of sufficient size and concentration that might, under favourable circumstances, have economic value (Geoscience Australia). It is not a defined term in the JORC Code 2012 for Australasian Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC 2012). An exploration method using instruments to collect and analyse sub-surface data of such properties as magnetics, radioactivity, gravity, electronic conductivity, etc. Instruments can be located on surface (ground survey) or above the ground (airborne survey). A measurement of grade across a width of mineralisation. A sampling technique whereby a continuous length of rock is collected for assay testing, usually in a perpendicular orientation to mineralisation. A single channel sample is typically one metre long in length or shorter. A series of channel samples may extend for tens of metres. This technique is often used in trenches or across large expanses of rock outcrop. A group of samples submitted to a laboratory for geochemical analysis. Grouping samples into a_Batch_is a cost-effective means of transporting samples from the field. A_Batch_ can often coincide with a specific sampled target. A surface or zone of rock fracture along which there has been displacement. A tabular or sheet-like form of mineralisation, often resulting from in-filling a vertical or near-vertical fracture. They often cut across_Country Rock_. A mineral deposit in the form of a network of veinlets diffused in the Country Rock. Rock that encloses or is cut by mineralisation. And more broadly, rock that makes up the geology of an area. The Country Rock at Humaspunco is limestone and to a lesser extent sub volcanic. At Humaspunco, taken to mean broken or fragmented rock. Breccia_Veins_ which are common at Humaspunco, are narrow fissures containing numerous rock fragments. The rock fragments are called_Clasts_ and the space around the clasts is called the Matrix. Often the matrix in the breccia veins at Humaspunco contains the Ore-forming Minerals. A tabular or sheet-like form of mineralisation, often resulting from replacement along layers of limestone. They often lay parallel to_Country Rock_. The coarse component of a_Breccia_,at Humaspunco generally meaning angular fragments of_Country Rock_ (limestone) but could also mean fragments of_Vein_ material. The fine component of a_Breccia_,occurring between the_Clasts_. Minerals which are economically desirable, as contrasted to_Gangue Minerals. In mineralisation at Humaspunco they include_Sphalerite, Smithsonite_and_Galena and are indicative of_Carbonate Replacement_ mineralisation. Lead sulphide mineral with the chemical formula PbS with 86.60% Pb by mol. weight. Zinc sulphide mineral with the chemical formula ZnS with 64.06% Zn by mol. weight. Zinc carbonate mineral with the chemical formula ZnCO3with 52.15% Zn by mol. weight. Valueless minerals. In mineralisation at Humaspunco they are_Calcite_and_Barite_. A common carbonate mineral with the chemical formula CaCO3. A barium sulphate mineral with the chemical formula BaSO4. |

Carbonate A process in which carbonate minerals are “replaced” by another mineral or minerals. Replacement A Manto is a form of Carbonate Replacement inasmuch as the carbonate minerals of a limestone layer are “replaced” by Ore-forming Minerals like Sphalerite and Galena . Structure A very broad and widely used geological term, but used at Riqueza to mean a large linear feature either a geological fault or a lineament. Tension Gash Vein A structure which has been caused by Faulting . The walls of a Tension Gash Vein are often “pulled apart” diagonally to the Fault direction. Porphyry (Deposit) A type of Deposit containing Ore-forming Minerals occurring as disseminations and veinlets in a large volume of rock. The rock is typically porphyritic (a texture of large crystals in a fine groundmass). Porphyry Deposits are economically very significant. Veinlets A small and narrow mineral filling of a fracture in country rock that is tabular or sheet-like in shape. Veinlets are narrow versions of veins.
Mineral Belt A term that describes a particular area that hosts a concentration of Deposits . Polymetallic A term that describes for multi-element nature of a Deposit or Mineral Belt . Magnetic Survey Measures variations in the intensity of the earth’s magnetic field caused by the contrasting content of rock-forming magnetic minerals in the Earth’s crust. This allows sub-surface mapped of geology, including Structures . An airborne survey is flown either by plane or helicopter with the magnetometer kept at a constant height above the surface.
Radiometric Survey Or gamma-ray spectrometric survey measures concentrations of radio-elements potassium (K), uranium (U) and thorium (Th), specifically the gamma rays emitted by isotopes of these elements. All rocks and soils contain radioactive isotopes and almost all gamma-rays detected at surface are the result of radioactive decay of K, U and Th. Radiometrics is therefore capable of directly detecting potassic alteration which is associated with hydrothermal processing and formation of Deposits .
Q: How did the Chonta Fault form and why is it and Callancocha Structure so important?
A: The Chonta Fault and related structures (the Chonta Fault System - CFS) was first created by the forces of crustal compression relating to the subduction of the Pacific Plate below the South American continent. These forces led to the development of northwest-southeast orientated regional-scale folding and reverse thrusting. Episodes of regional compression and relaxation led to strike-slip movement of the CFS and creation of splay structures. The Callancocha Structure at Humaspunco is one such splay fault. Because the CFS is a deep seated crustal feature, it has acted as a conduit for metal-bearing hydrothermal fluids and igneous stocks. Dozens of deposits and porphyry intrusions are located along CFS faults and structures.
Q: How is a geophysical survey conducted? What will be the outcome of the survey?
A: A helicopter fitted with magnetic and radiometric sensors will be used for the AMAGRAD geophysical survey. The helicopter will traverse the survey area along a pre-designed flight-path with lines 50 metres apart and at a constant 50-metre elevation above the surface. Data is collected and verified in real time (allowing production flights to be repeated if necessary). After the survey is completed and the data verified, the data is closely analysed. This includes "geo-referencing" (which means the data is fixed to exact locations on the surface) and modelling to produce magnetic and radiometric anomalies. Analysis also includes the integration of nongeophysical data such as drill hole information, channel sample results, mapping results which aids in the process prioritised target generation. The company conducting the geophysical survey is Canadian-based New-Sense Geophysics Limited. The company conducting analysis and target generation is Perth-based Resource Potentials.

Appendix 1
The following information is provided to comply with the JORC Code (2012) requirements for the reporting of channel sampling results 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 new assay results from 50 channel samples (of batch #17). The channel samples were taken from surface trenches manually excavated across vein HV-02. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Channel sample locations were determined by GPS. The spatial configuration of the channels was perpendicularacrossmineralisation and equally-spacedalongmineralisation. |
|
| 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. |
Channels perpendicular to the exposed mineralisation associated with vein Hv-02 were used to obtain continuous samples approximately 2kg in weight and between 0.3m and 1.0m long across the target. |
|
| 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 drilling or drilling results are referred to in this announcement. |

| CRITERIA | JORC CODE EXPLANATION | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| CRITERIA | JORC CODE EXPLANATION | COMMENTARY |
|---|---|---|
| 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’). |
In the channel sampling, the widths are considered true widths, commencing and finishing at the foot and hanging walls of the visible mineralisation. |
| 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 channel samples 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 be practiced 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 two previous ASX announcements dated: 11 December 2017 and 22 February 2018. |
| 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 underground mines that were channel sampled, 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. |
N/A: Refer above. |
