Inca Minerals Limited (ASX: ICG; Inca or the Company ) has commenced internal reviews of the independently generated Iron Oxide Copper Gold ( IOCG )/Sedimentary Exhalative ( SEDEX ) targets identified at its Frewena Group Project ( Frewena ) released to the market last week (ASX announcement of 24 June 2021). The largest of these is the RP-FE-02 target, which is now also referred to as the Jumping Spider Target.
The Jumping Spider Target is approximately 12km kilometres across and comprises semi-coincident magnetic high and gravity high anomalies. It is located on Inca’s Frewena East Project. Part of the target also spreads onto the adjacent Newcrest Mining and Middle Island Resources tenements to the south (Figure 1).

Location and Description of the Jumping Spider Target
The Jumping Spider Target is located on the southern part of the Frewena East Project area. The broad gravity high anomaly, which defines the outer shape of the target, covers an approximate area of 150 square kilometres with a 3mgal gravity high ‘core’ occurring at its centre covering approximately 12 square kilometres. These concentric gravity anomalies lie semicoincident with a similarly zoned magnetic high feature covering approximately 35km square kilometres. Size matters. IOCG deposits are typically very large tonnage and tend to have large geophysical footprints. The elliptical-shaped gravity high anomaly of the Jumping Spider Target is compared to the size of the Olympic Dam gravity high in Figure 2.

Figure 2 : The Olympic Dam gravity signature (black dashed line) is compared in size to the gravity anomaly of the Jumping Spider Target (red solid line). THIS COMPARISON DOES NOT INFER A TONNAGE OR GRADE FOR THE JUMPING SPIDER TARGET. THE SUPERPOSITION OF THE OLYMPIC DAM GRAVITY ANOMALY PROVIDES A SIZE COMPARISON – OLYMPIC DAM IS LOCATED IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA
In terms of tectonic setting, the Jumping Spider Target is located at the intersection of two sets of major structural trends, a northwest-southeast trend, comprising two transfer zones (Figure 1) and a southwest-northeast trend, comprising sheared domain boundaries with coincident magnetic-gravity ridges (Figures 1 and 3). The fact that the target sits in a clear intersection of major and potentially very deep crustal structures is considered highly positive as such intersections of deep crustal structures can be fertile zones for intrusions and possible Iron Oxide Copper Gold ( IOCG ) mineralisation.

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. It is the interaction of cross structures, such as the Transfer zones, that create fertile places for intrusive activity.

==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Another pleasing aspect of the regional location of the Jumping Spider Target is its juxtaposition with a deep granite intrusion (batholith), interpreted from a very large gravity low anomaly (Figure 1). Such granites are a possible heat source driving hydrothermal fluid flow and intrusive stocks upwards. Deep granites as the driving force for the formation of IOCG and SEDEX deposits, are not usually shown in IOCG and SEDEX genetic models (Appendix 1).
The geometry and size of the semi-coincident gravity and magnetic anomalies at Jumping Spider (Figures 4 and 5) suggest this target is primarily prospective for IOCG style mineralisation. While modelling to date has made use of regional scale magnetic and gravity data, detailed airborne magnetic-radiometric ( AMAGRAD ) and ground-based gravity surveying – both scheduled to commence in mid-July - will allow further refinement of this target, which is crucial to de-risk initial drill hole design within the target zone (Figure 5).

Next Steps at the Jumping Spider Target
The independent consultancy that completed the recent geophysical review and target generation proposal, has recommended a ground gravity survey to be completed at the Jumping Spider Target. Notwithstanding the subsequent gravity results, the consultancy also recommended two drill holes at the Jumping Spider Target, for a total of 2,070m (Table 2).

Table 2 – First-pass independent drilling program recommendation.
Following the internal reviews of the independently generated geophysical target information, the Company strongly agrees with this recommendation. With the great assistance of the consultancy, the Company has already designed the ground gravity survey for the Jumping Spider Target and a contractor has been appointed to undertake this survey work.
The proposed ground survey work for the Jumping Spider Target 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). Both surveys are scheduled to commence in mid to late July, although timing will be dependent on COVID restrictions and other logistical factors. Interpretations and greater understanding of the specific characteristics of the Jumping Spider Target and a refined proposed drill hole program will follow in September or October.

Company Reviews of all Priority Targets at Frewena
The Company will review the other targets independently identified at Frewena. The intention is to internally rank all such targets ahead of drilling. As new information comes to hand, such as ground gravity data, AMAGRAD data, etcetera, targets will be progressively refined and possible additional targets generated. As stated in previous announcements, and above, it is the intention of the Company to drill at Frewena this year.
Other News – Director’s Exercise July Options
The company notes that shareholders have started to exercise their ICGOB (July 2021) options, with approximately $1.3 million received by the company to date. The company thanks shareholders for their commitment and confidence and can also report that both the Managing Director, Mr Ross Brown, and Dr Jonathan West have already exercised ICGOB options and that the company’s other director, Mr Gareth Lloyd will shortly be exercising his ICGOB options in early July. The commitment of all Board members in converting ICGOB options to shares and the continued commitment by them to taking a significant portion of their director’s fees in shares (up to 50%) demonstrates their strong belief and confidence in the company’s future and the prospectivity of its various potential Tier 1 projects in both Peru and Australia.
Riqueza
Drilling continues at the first hole of the NE Area FTA drilling program at Riqueza. As previously reported, the drill penetration rate is slow at about 20m per day. The slow penetration rate is due to the frequent intersection of intrusive bodies (sills and dykes), structures and breccias. When unaffected, the Jumasha Formation is a uniformly grey to dark grey limestone. The Jumasha in hole one is host to numerous intrusions and is highly fractured with zones of brecciation and alteration. It’s a pleasing early start to the NE Area drill campaign.
Whilst the drilling rate has been slowed due to ground conditions, the company notes that the slow progress is a much better alternative to the possibility of losing drill rods or having to abandoned the hole and start drilling from surface again, and thus losing all the drilling days, and associated costs, to date.

Ownership: EL 31989, EL 32580 and EL32635: Inca has the right to earn 90% via a JVA Agreement and Royalty Deed (1.5% NSR payable) with MRG.
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 MOU’s and all tenements and tenement applications are 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 an internal review final interpretations of an independent studies 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 unchanged from the Report that are related to extant and new geophysical targets and/or anomalies. This announcement also briefly refers to mineralisation in a stratigraphic drill program recently released by Geoscience Australia. The Company advises that the government hole NDIBK04 does not fall within Company held tenure. Nevertheless, the drill result is considered directly relevant the prospectivity of the Company’s tenure.

Criteria: Geology
JORC CODE Explanation
Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation.
Company Commentary
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.
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.

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

The Company advises that the government hole NDIBK04 does not fall within Company held tenure. Nevertheless, the drill result is considered directly relevant the prospectivity of the Company’s tenure.
Other than industry standard data processing in the compilation of the final geophysics results (images) no other data averaging, truncations, etc…has occurred.
JORC CODE Explanation
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
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 refers to an internal review final interpretations of an independent studies 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 also briefly refers to mineralisation in a stratigraphic drill program recently released by Geoscience Australia. The Company advises that the government hole NDIBK04 does not fall within Company held tenure. Nevertheless, the drill result is considered directly relevant the prospectivity of the Company’s tenure.
Reference is made to mineralisation identified in a government funded stratigraphic drill hole, but no grades are available for such mineralisation. No geometry of the mineralisation is known.
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
Several diagrams of geophysical interpretations are provided in this announcement.
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 this ASX announcement provides a balanced report of the 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 one previous ASX announcement dated 24 June 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
Additional exploration work conducted by the Company is necessary to progress the understanding of the economic potential of the projects.
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
Several diagrams are provided that show final interpretations of geophysical data.
