ASX Announcement │ 6 December 2021 │ ASX: ICG
EXPLORATION LICENCE APPLICATION COVERING GOVERNMENT HOLES NDIBK04 & NDIBK01 AWARDED TO INCA
Highly prospective ground that hosts the Government-funded diamond-hole NDIBK04, which contains 327m of visible sulphides, to become part of Inca’s Tier-1 scale Mount Lamb SEDEX/IOCG target at Frewena
Highlights
-
Exploration Licence Application ( EL32808 ) covering Government drill-holes NDIBK01 and NDIBK04 is awarded to Inca
-
NDIBK04 hosts widespread hydrothermal alteration and sulphide mineralisation over a down-hole interval of 326.8m from 89.5m to 416.3m (end-of-hole or EOH )
-
Visible copper (chalcopyrite and bornite) and arsenopyrite occur from 250m depth to the end of hole
-
NDIBK04 now becomes part of Inca’s broader NW Mount Lamb Prospect, which is a high-priority sedimentary exhalative ( SEDEX ) and Iron Oxide Copper Gold ( IOCG ) target
Inca Minerals Limited (ASX: ICG ) is pleased to advise that the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade has deemed Inca the successful applicant for an Exploration Licence encompassing the previously reported Government-funded drill-holes NDIBK01 and NDIBK04. Inca’s application, ELA32808, will now move through the granting process.
ELA32808 covers the former Government-held blocks encompassing the NDIBK01 and NDIBK04 diamond drill-holes (Figure 1). Government drill-hole NDIBK04 intersected widespread hydrothermal alteration and open-ended visible sulphide mineralisation over a down-hole interval of 326.8m from 89.5m to 416.3m (EOH).
The approval of both blocks, especially NDIBK04, is a pivotal outcome for the Company. The ground that hosts NDIBK04 will be absorbed into Inca’s broader Mount Lamb SEDEX/IOCG Target (Figures 1 and 3) and be integrated into the approaching drill program.

The Significance of Drill Hole NDIBK04
The approval of ELA32808 for progression to grant is very significant. Simply put, once ELA32808 is granted to Inca, it would be as if NDIBK04 was drilled by the Company . While the drill core and information/data derived from NDIBK01/04 remains the property of the Northern Territory Government, the hole has enormous strategic important in terms of unlocking the SEDEX and IOCG potential of the broader East Tennant region.
In addition, as a result of the future grant of the tenement, Inca will be entitled to drill at the same location and even re-open the holes to drill to greater depth (subject to the condition of the holes).
“ NDIBK04 intersected 326.8m of visible mineralisation from a depth of 89.5m to 416.3m down-hole. Headline minerals, chalcopyrite and bornite (copper sulphide minerals) were identified in the core. As part the 2021 AGES conference earlier this year, a limited number of registered delegates were permitted to inspect the core. During that visit, I was able to directly observe chalcopyrite and bornite, as well as sphalerite (a zinc sulphide) in the core with ubiquitous pyrite .” The visit resulted in an ASX announcement dated 27 April 2021 which included several core photos (Figure 2).
The Company, and the broader exploration and geological community, are eagerly awaiting the Government sample results from NDIBK04, which are still subject to a range of tests being undertaken by the Northern Territory Geological Survey on core from the hole. Sample results of NDIBK04 remain unavailable at present due to the multifarious tests the government agencies are carrying out on core from the hole. Sample analysis includes, but not limited to, multi-elements assays, petrological studies, and age-dating. Based on personal communications, we are informed that results will be available before the end of 2021.

NDIBK04 Becomes Part of Mount Lamb
On 11 October 2021 Inca reported to the market the receipt of an independent drill proposal of 28,200m. The Mount Lamb Prospect is prominent in this proposal, with the greatest number of holes of the proposed program scheduled there.
Following gravity survey modelling, the Mount Lamb Prospect is now recognised as comprising five separate [though juxtaposed] drill targets – Mt Lamb-1, Mt Lamb-2, Mt Lamb-3, Mt Lamb-4, and Mt Lamb-5 (these five corresponding to the two previous target names RP-FFE-02 and RP-FFE-03).

==> picture [108 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
The Mt Lamb-3 target is approximately 2.5km long and hosts coincident gravity/magnetic high anomalies. It occurs mostly within the ELA32808/NDIBK04 ground. This effectively means that Mt Lamb-3 is already drill tested and, subject to assay results, hosts mineralisation of potential significance. Drill hole #7, approximately 1.6km from of NDIBK04, is designed to test the north-western end of Mt Lamb-3 (Figure 3).

Other News from Australian Projects and Next Steps
The Company is currently flying a large airborne magnetics and radiometric survey over Frewena East and Frewena Frontier, which is approximately 78% completed. The Jumping Spider and Roadhouse prospects are covered in this survey. The Company anticipates further targets being generated that may be further refined by ground gravity surveying ahead of any drill testing.
Progress towards Inca’s maiden Australian drill program at the Frewena Group continues to advance with government approvals received for EL32293 (Mount Lamb) and nearing completion for EL32580 and EL32795 (Jumping Spider, Roadhouse).
The Company is seeking to construct access pads and drill pads as swiftly as practical however is cognisant of the early arrival of the summer wet season in the Northern Territory. The company is also seeking to secure landowner approval and assistance with putting in the required drill access tracks. A drill contractor has been selected to undertake the proposed drill program.

Infrastructure Acquired
The Company has purchased a property at Mt Isa which will become the field office, sample storage, core storage and core logging facility for the Company, servicing all our Australian projects. Mt Isa is a mining town and centrally located with respect to Frewena, Jean Elson and MaCauley Creek projects.
With drilling soon to commence at Frewena and with drilling planned at Jean Elson and MaCauley Creek in the future, this facility will be vital for the Company. Among other advantages, proper storage, and access to drill core, in comfortable and safe conditions, enables best-outcomes for core logging and core sampling.

Management Comment
Commenting on Inca being the successful applicant for the NDIBK04 ground, Inca Managing Director Ross Brown said: “The acquisition [upon future granting] of this ground is very exciting for the company. The importance of NDIBK04 in unlocking the potential of this emerging Tier-1 province cannot be overstated. The area that is covered by ELA32808 is now part of the Mount Lamb Prosect which we intend drilling as soon as it is possible.”

For the Frewena Fable Project: EL 321974 (granted) and EL32287 (granted). Ownership: Frewena Far East: Inca has the right to earn 90% via a JVA Agreement and Royalty Deed (1.5% NSR payable) with MRG and West. JORC CODE Explanation 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. Company Commentary The concession is in good standing at the time of writing. Criteria: Exploration done by other parties JORC CODE Explanation Acknowledgement and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Company Commentary This announcement refers to exploration conducted by an independent consultancy under contract to provide services to the Company. Criteria: Geology JORC CODE Explanation Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. Company Commentary The geological setting of the area is that of Palaeozoic Georgina Basin that is regionally mapped as shales and limestones of varying thickness. Local geology, however, is inferred from radiometric and ASTER data to be dominated by outcropping or near surface granitic lithologies. These older granitic lithologies are considered prospective to host IOCG mineralisation. Criteria: Drill hole information JORC CODE Explanation 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. Company Commentary This announcement refers to two government drilled holes. Drill hole parameters of NDIBK04, which contains the visible sulphides discussed in this announcement is presented on page 2 – figure 2. This announcement also refers to an independently generated drill program proposal. The proposed holes parameters were presented in a previous ASX announcement (SEE below). JORC CODE Explanation 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.

==> picture [108 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
Company Commentary No metal equivalents are referred to in this announcement. Criteria: Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths JORC CODE Explanation 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.’) Company Commentary This announcement refers to two government drilled holes. An intersection of 327m of visible sulphide mineralisation was mentioned in this announcement. The geometry of this interval is unknown in terms of the dip and azimuth of the holes. This announcement also refers to an independently generated drill program proposal. The proposed holes have not been drilled to date. Criteria: Diagrams JORC CODE Explanation 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 Company Commentary Plans showing the position of the proposed holes were included in a previous announcement (SEE below). Criteria: Balanced reporting JORC CODE Explanation 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. Company Commentary The Company believes the ASX announcement provides a balanced report of its exploration results referred to in this announcement. Criteria: Other substantive exploration data JORC CODE Explanation 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. Company Commentary This announcement refers to two previous ASX announcements, dated 27 April 2021 and 11 October 2021. Criteria: Further work JORC CODE Explanation The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Company Commentary By nature of early phase exploration, further work is necessary to better understand the mineralisation appearing in the outcrop subject of this announcement. JORC CODE Explanation Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. Company Commentary Plans are provided showing the position of the two government drill holes. Plans showing the proposed hole the subject of this announcement, were provided in a previous ASX announcement (SEE above).
