Targeting a new generation of Tier-1 mineral discoveries in Peru and Australia

ASX Announcement 21 July 2021 │ ASX: ICG
ROADHOUSE TARGET CONFIRMED AND RIQUEZA DRILLING UPDATE
Exploration in Australia and Peru propels Inca closer to a potential re-rate as expiry of ICGOB's nears
Highlights
- Priority-1 IOCG/SEDEX target RP-FE-01 at Frewena East confirmed as a high-priority target
- Target RP-FE-01, corresponding to the Roadhouse Prospect, is over 7.5km in diameter and is located 800m east of the Middle Island Resources (ASX: MDI) Crosswind Copper Prospect
- First drill-hole at Riqueza, RP01, now completed with evidence of a possible porphyry system in proximity
- ICGOB options continue to be converted helping to raise nearly $3 million to date
Inca Minerals Limited (ASX: ICG; Inca or the Company) is pleased to provide a further update on exploration activities across its portfolio of Tier-1 Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG), Sedimentary Exhalative (SEDEX), porphyry and skarn exploration projects in Peru and Australia. This announcement, the final in the series that have reviewed the RP-series of independent, geophysicsderived, targets identified at its Frewena Group Project (Frewena) in the Northern Territory, provides further information on the RP-FE-01 target (Figures 1 and 2) at Frewena East.
The independently generated RP-FE-01 target corresponds to the Company's Roadhouse Prospect, located on the Frewena East Project. The integration of the location data shows that there is a very close overlap between RP-FE-01 and Roadhouse Prospect (Figure 5 Insert). The Roadhouse Prospect is approximately 7.5km across and comprises semi-coincident magnetic high and gravity high anomalies. Part of the target also extends onto the adjacent Newcrest Mining and Middle Island Resources tenements to the south (Figure 3).

The Roadhouse Prospect, the subject of this announcement, is highlighted (solid black line). Extract from the Independent Consultancy Report (Report).

Relatively strong and shallow model features are outlined by red circles. Figure is an extract from the Report. The SW-NE structural trends are corridors within which IOCG/SEDEX targets occur.
This announcement also provides key information on the successful integration of the data that exists for this target and explains the naming nomenclature of the target as presented in previous ASX announcements. RP-FE-01 corresponds to the past IOCG-T2 target and to the geographical name "the Roadhouse Prospect" (Table 1). In interim and final independent assessments of this target it has been consistently ranked as the highest, a priority one (or P-1) target.

Table 1: Target nomenclature, ranking, presence of mineralisation, and independent description of the RP-FE-01/Roadhouse Prospect.
Regionally, the Roadhouse Prospect is located along a major southwest-northeast gravity high and magnetic high corridor which extends over 50km, and which includes the Mount Lamb Prospect mega-target (as described in ASX announcement of 8 July 2021 (Figures 1 and 2).

Additional diagrams of the Roadhouse Prospect have been received from the independent consultancy which help to portray the target (Figures 3 and 4). It is defined as an off-set magnetic and gravity target.

Figure 3: Magnetics (colour scale) and gravity (contours) of the Roadhouse Prospect area. The location of the Middle Island Crosswinds Copper Prospect is shown. Inca's future work program at the Roadhouse Prosect includes ground gravity (the area defined by a blue dashed line) and drilling (yellow dot). The exact amount and location of drilling will be finalised upon the interpretation of the gravity survey.

Figure 4: Gravity cross section (colour scale and contours) of the Roadhouse Prospect area. The red box roughly coincides with the vertical coverage of the gravity survey. In this figure, the size of the gravity anomaly becomes evident. Within 1,000m of the surface it is over 6km wide. At depth, it increases in width substantially, to over 10km.

It sits on the western margin of a large geophysical target, shown by MT magnetics (solid white line). The green lines show the Inca Frewena East outline, the white straight lines (Middle Island), the grey lines (Newcrest). INSERT: Merged datasets showing the overlapping nature of the Roadhouse Prospect and the RP-RE-01 target. The targets sufficiently overlap to enable the target names to be interchangeable.
One of the pleasing features of the Roadhouse Prospect is its proximity known mineralisation. In December 2020, Middle Island Resources released information pertaining to their discovery of secondary copper at their Crosswinds Copper Prospect. Following a review of this discovery, the Company found that the secondary copper was located approximately 800m west of Inca's East Frewena tenement (EL32289) and, importantly, on the western margin of the magnetic high anomaly which then defined the Roadhouse Prospect (ASX announcement 5 January 2021).
Another pleasing aspect of the regional location of the Roadhouse Prospect is its juxtaposition with a deep granite intrusion (batholith), interpreted from a very large gravity low anomaly (Figure 1) and also its alignment with a number of major NE-SW structures which are thought to have provided pathways for hydrothermal events. In this respect, it is the same as the Jumping Spider Target. Such granites are a possible heat source driving hydrothermal fluid flow and intrusive stocks upwards. Deep granites are the driving force for the formation of IOCG and SEDEX deposits.
Next Steps at the Roadhouse Prospect
The same independent consultancy that completed the recent geophysical review and target generation proposal for the Jumping Spider Target, has also recommended that a ground gravity survey to be completed at the now-named Roadhouse Prospect. Notwithstanding the subsequent gravity results (see further below), the consultancy recommended one drill hole at the Roadhouse Prospect (Table 2).
| Hole ID | Hole Ranking | Coordinates | Elevation | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Target ID | Independent | Company | Target | Easting Northing | (m) | Dip | Azimuth Depth (m) | |||

Table 2: First-pass independent drilling program recommendation.
The proposed ground survey work for the Roadhouse Prospect will be undertaken as part of a larger gravity survey program over Inca's Frewena Project alongside the Company's major 58,171 line-kilometre, NT Government-supported AMAGRAD program (Figure 6).
The gravity survey is scheduled to commence in the coming days, and the AMAGRAD survey in August, although start-up dates may be affected by COVID restrictions as well as other logistical factors.
Interpretations and greater understanding of the specific characteristics of both the Jumping Spider Target and the Roadhouse Prospect, as well as a refined proposed drilling program, will follow in September or October.

Figure 6: Inca geophysical programs at the Frewena Project include the major 58,171 line kilometre, NT Government supported AMAGRAD survey covering the entirety of Frewena East, Frewena Frontier and a portion of Frewena Far East (blue hatch - blue circled area), and ground based gravity surveying of selected targets (black dots – black circled area over Jumping Spider).
Drilling at Riqueza
The first hole of the NE Area FTA drilling program at Riqueza, RP01 has now been completed. As previously reported, the drill hole has intersected an interdigitated sequence of altered Jumasha Formation limestone and andesitic sills with common quartz and calcite veins and veinlets. Recently, the hole has intersected unaltered limestone.
A preliminary hand-drawn drill log section (NW-SE projection) is presented in this announcement to demonstrate the structural complexity of the geology intersected in RP01 (Figure 7). This section was created on-site by the Company's Spanish-speaking project geologists. It is copied here without material modification.
Common alteration minerals include quartz/silica, calcite, pyrite, chlorite, sericite and jarosite. This assemblage is characteristic of the propylitic and sericitic halos of a porphyry system (Appendix 1).
Between a down-hole interval of 321.5m and 406.6m, seven epithermal structures have been recognised in association with porphyritc diorite dykes. These host banded, crustiform, colloform, chalcedonic and veinlet forms of quartz, hydrothermal breccias, and pyrite-bearing faults.
Various core tray photos are included below to show the different "condition" of the normally light to dark grey coloured Jumasha Formation limestone (Figures 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13).
The occurrence of unaltered limestone and a decrease in quartz/calcite veining in the deepest intervals of RP01 is germane to the possible location of a porphyry intrusion "centre" [where mineralisation is more typically located].
As previously described, the hole has intersected what is interpreted as a propylitic alteration halo of a possible porphyry intrusion. It was hypothesised that RP01 might be either above a porphyry or drilling down the side of a porphyry. With alteration no longer present in the deepest sections of the hole, it is unlikely that a possible porphyry is further below. Ruling this out as a possibility, RP01 might then have drilled down the side of, and away from, the possible porphyry.

In broad terms, the occurrence of altered limestone and sills (propylitic/sericitic alteration); cross-cutting dykes; quartz and calcite veins and veinlets; zones of quartz and calcite stockworks; hydrothermal breccias and faults and common and broadly present pyrite as veins/veinlets and disseminations, is considered to be a very encouraging result.
Vector information interpreted from RP01 strongly indicates an area of interest to the east of the hole (Figure 7). Note that the majority of the western Puymanpata Porphyry Target is located east of RP01.
Hole RP02 is located approximately 450m east of RP01 (Figure 8) and, at the time of writing, has just commenced.

Figure 7: A hand-drawn NW-SE log section showing the geology intersected in RP01 by on-site geologists. The original Spanish legend (illegible) is replaced by a simplified text-box explanation of the main features. Because the hole is being drilled in the westerly direction and because the hole finished in unaltered limestone, the vector towards a possible porphyry intrusion is to the east – left to right across the figure above. This is also consistent with the configuration of the porphyry dyke (at approximately 100m hole depth).


Figure 8: Drill-hole location plan of the NE Area of Riqueza. RP01 (completed) and RP02 (commenced) are highlighted. The hole collar positions are marked by white dots. The hole directions (2D projections on the page) are marked by solid white lines. There are three drillhole groupings, marked by dashed yellow lines. The groupings represent loosely defined mega-target objectives, the two flanking centres – porphyry targets and the centre grouping, skarn and/or carbonate replacement or even porphyry-extension targets.

Where used, these data are clearly indicated as being sourced and unaltered from Middle Island Resources. The Middle Island Resources ASX announcement dated 23 December 2020 is the sole source of Middle Island Resources results mentioned in this announcement.
Criteria: Geology
JORC CODE Explanation
Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation.
Company Commentary
Australia: The geological setting falls within the 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.
Peru: The geological setting of the area is that of a gently SW dipping sequence of Cretaceous limestones, Tertiary "red-beds" and volcanics on a western limb of a NW-SE trending anticline; subsequently affected by an intrusive rhyolite volcanic dome believed responsible for a series of near vertical large-scale structures and multiple and pervasive zones of epithermal/porphyry/skarn related Cu- Au-Ag-Pb-Zn-Mo 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.

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.
Company Commentary
No information has been excluded from this announcement that would be consider material to the exploration results.
Criteria: Data aggregation methods
JORC CODE Explanation
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**.** 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.
Company Commentary
This announcement refers to an internal review of final interpretations of an independent study contained in a finalised report (Report) of a Company airborne magnetic and radiometric (AMAGRAD) survey completed at the Company's Frewena Fable, Frewena East and Frewena Far East Projects and of government geophysical data of the greater Frewena Group Project area. This announcement includes final geophysical images copied and materially unchanged from the Report that are related to extant and new geophysical targets and/or anomalies of the Frewena East Project. Other than industry standard data processing in the compilation of the final geophysics results (images) no other data averaging, truncations, etc…has occurred.
This announcement also includes reference to another company's (Middle Island Resources: ASX ticker MDI) mapping and sampling results which were made public in December 2020. Primary data lies with MDI.
Finally, this announcement also includes results from its first drill hole (RP01) of a drilling program in Peru at its Riqueza Project. The result includes a hand-drawn drill log. The Company refers to geology, minerals and structures of this hole.
With respect to the MDI and Company drill results, no weighting techniques have been applied.

Company Commentary
No metal equivalents are made 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 includes reference to another company's (Middle Island Resources: ASX ticker MDI) mapping and sampling results which were made public in December 2020. Primary data lies with MDI. In the case of the report copper mineralisation no geometry of the mineralisation is not known, other than the fact that it related to surficial secondary processes with unknown depth.

This announcement also includes results from its first drill hole (RP01) of a drilling program in Peru at its Riqueza Project. The result includes a hand-drawn drill log.
