ASX Announcement │ 21 May 2021 │ ASX: ICG

NEW HIGH-PRIORITY TIER-1 TARGETS IDENTIFIED AT FREWENA PROJECT, NORTHERN TERRITORY

Eleven new targets identified, including five new Priority One targets recommended for drilling

Highlights

  • Independent interpretation of Company and government geophysical data has identified multiple Tier-1 scale IOCGlike and SEDEX-like targets at Inca’s Frewena Far East, Frewena East and Frewena Fable Projects

  • All Priority One ( P-1 ) targets are recommended for drill testing

  • Previously described magnetic-gravity anomaly ridge and hydrothermal trend at Frewena Far East hosts at least two P-1 and three P-2 IOCG or/and SEDEX-like targets

  • Government drill-hole NDIBK04 containing visible copper mineralisation corresponds to a P-1 target at Frewena Far East

  • Middle Island Resources’ (ASX ticker MDI) Crosswinds Copper Prospect copper occurrence located immediately west of a P-1 target at Frewena East

Inca Minerals Limited (ASX: ICG ) is pleased to advise that an independent interpretation of Company and government geophysical data covering the Frewena Group Project in the Northern Territory has identified at least eleven high priority Iron Oxide Copper Gold-like (IOCG ) and Sedimentary Exhalative ( SEDEX ) targets. The highly credentialled and expert independent consultancy used Inca’s airborne magnetic-radiometric survey (AMAGRAD) data (covering parts of the Frewena Fable and Frewena Far East project areas) and Government geophysical, geological and drill hole data (covering the greater Frewena Group Project area).

Five Priority One (P-1) targets have been identified, as well as three P-2 and three P-3 targets (Figure 1). A cluster of two P-1 and three P-2 targets in the north-east of the tenement area (see Figure 1) corresponds with the previously-described magnetic-gravity anomaly ridge and hydrothermal trend at Frewena Far East (see ASX Announcement 22 March 2021) (Table 1 – as Appendix 1).

Importantly, many of the targets appear to be located on, or close to, crosscut structures which have now been interpreted as tectonic Transfer Zones. Such deep-seated structures play vital roles in the emplacement and location of Tier-1 deposits such as IOCG and SEDEX deposits, discussed in more detail below (also refer to Appendix 2).

The targets were selected on the basis of their similarity to other known IOCG and/or SEDEX deposits, including consideration of their geophysical likeness, their regional structural location, and where data is available, their geochemical and geological similarity to other known IOCG/SEDEX deposits. It is important to note that each of the eleven independently identified targets has the potential to host an IOCG or a SEDEX deposit in its own right. Table 1 lists the selection parameters and prospectivity of each target (Appendix 1).

IOCG deposits tend to be enriched in copper, gold and iron. They range in size from 10 million tonnes to greater than four billion tonnes and have a grade range of between 0.2% and 5.0% copper with gold content ranging from 0.1g/t to 1.41g/t gold*.

SEDEX deposits tend to be enriched in zinc and lead, with variations also having copper and silver. They range in size from a few million tonnes and greater than 400 million tonnes, with a grade range of 2.5% to 12% zinc; 1% to 8% lead; and 0.1% to 1.0% copper*.

*** No inference of size and grade is made for each of the eleven targets. The typical size and grade ranges of IOCG and SEDEX deposits is provided for information purposes only – no inference of size or grade is made for the eleven targets identified at Frewena. The size and grade range of known IOCG and SEDEX deposits is relevant because the targets identified are prospective for these types of deposits.** This is discussed in more detail below.

Figure 1 : High priority target zones for follow-up exploration work, based on interpretation of geophysical data from the Frewena project area. The high priority areas (yellow outlines) are defined by magnetic (shaded blue areas) and/or gravity (shaded red to orange areas) anomaly highs, which are characteristic of IOCG/SEDEX style mineralisation. Target zones are ranked higher where there is coincident and higher amplitude magnetic and gravity anomalies related to relatively shallow sources, and where they are located along major NE-SW oriented sheared contacts and proximal to interpreted NW-SE transfer structures. Priority 1 zones within the northernmost tenement (Frewena Far East) are located along strike of the NDIBK-04 drillhole, which intersected altered and sulphide-mineralised sediments.

The Company had previously reported five IOCG-like targets (IOCG-T1 to T5) at Frewena East and Frewena Far East (ASX announcement 22 March 2021) (Figure 2). There are now six generated Tier-1 targets recognised along this same regional trend (Figure 1). These are described in Table 1 (Appendix 1) and briefly described below:

  • The new RP-FE-01 priority P-1 target corresponds to the Company’s IOCG-T1 target (Figure 2), which in turn corresponds to Inca’s previously named Roadhouse Target that is located immediately east of MDI’s Crosswinds Copper Prospect.

  • The new RP-FFE-01 priority P-1 target corresponds to the Company’s IOCG-T2 target (Figure 2), which in turn corresponds to Inca’s previously named SW Target, which measures approximately 12km x 5km in size.

  • The new RP-FFE-02 priority P-1 and RE-FFE-03 priority P-2 targets correspond to the Company’s IOCG-T3 target (Figure 2), which in turn corresponds to Inca’s previously named Mount Lamb Target which measures approximately 12km x 2.5km in size. The RP-FFE-02 priority P-1 target hosts the Geoscience Australia, “ GA ” drill hole NDIBK04 which contains visible copper and zinc mineralisation. This in discussed in detail on page 3.

  • The new RP-FFE-04 priority P-2 target corresponds to the Company’s IOCG-T4 target (Figure 2), which in turn corresponds to Inca’s previously named Desert Creek Target .

  • The new RP-FFE-05 priority P-2 target corresponds to the Company’s IOCG-T5 target (Figure 2), which in turn corresponds to Inca’s previously named Plains Target .

Targets RP-FE-01, RP-FFE-01, RP-FFE-02, RP-FFE-03 and RP-FFE-04 (described above) are located on an interpreted sheared geological domain boundary that hosts a major coincident magnetic-gravity high ridge over 50km long (with 35km of this trend located on Inca ground) (Figure 1). The magnetic and gravity signature of this spatially extensive multi-target “exploration corridor” is independently interpreted as representing a major hydrothermal event, now confirmed highly prospective for Tier-1 IOCG and SEDEX deposits.

Furthermore, this highly attractive exploration corridor hosts known copper mineralisation: at MDI’s Crosswinds Copper Prospect near RP-FE-01 (IOCG-T1) and at GA drill-hole NDIBK04 at RP-FFE-02.

The independent consultancy has also identified what it considers to be major transfer faults which cut through the Company’s various Frewena project areas. Critically, transfer faults, which are considered to be deep and potentially “tap” deep crustal or even mantle regions, are known to be important in major ore deposit formation, as demonstrated by a number of major examples in the South American copper belts. As shown in Figure 1, several major transfer faults cross the Company’s tenements and, critically where they are projected to intersect the major NE-SW structures (major faults and hydrothermal structures (Figure 2) a number of the priority geophysical targets occur. This is considered to be most encouraging and supports the view that these are ore deposition environments.

Since the publication of the ASX announcement of 22 March 2021, Inca geologists including the Company Managing Director, Mr Ross Brown, have inspected the NDIBK04 core. “We can reaffirm the very high levels of sulphide mineralisation in this highly successful government hole”. As announced to the market on 27 April 2021, within a broad envelope of sulphide mineralisation, “there are local zones with between 5% and 15% sulphide by rock volume. Sulphides include pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite (copper sulphide), bornite (copper sulphide), and sphalerite (zinc sulphide).”

Importantly, hydrothermal sulphide activity appears to be multi-phase, as shown in the NDIBK04 drill core photos below. Early phases of sulphides are cut by successively later phases.

Figure 2: Regional image of Frewena East and Frewena Far East showing modelled magnetic high responses at source body-depth slices extending to 4.6km, overlain by magnetic-gravity ridge trends in pale yellow. Spot magnetic highs are outlined (yellow-orange shapes with solid black lines) and gravity highs are outlined (grey-brown shapes with solid black lines). The magnetic ridges are highlighted as well as MDI’s Crosswind Copper Prosect and the government’s NDIBK04 “copper hole”. This diagram first appears in ASX announcement dated 22 March 2021.

There are currently five targets identified at Frewena Fable and Frewena East (excluding RP-FE-01 already discussed above). These are described in Table 1 (Appendix 1), and briefly described below.

  • The new RP-FE-02 priority P-1 target corresponds to a previous but unnamed IOCG target (Figure 2). It is located on a parallel magnetic-gravity high ridge to that of the RP-FE-01, RP-FFE-01, RP-FFE-02, RP-FFE-03 and RP-FFE-04 targets.

  • The new RP-FF-01 priority P-1 target.

  • The new RP-FF-02 priority P-3 and RP-FF-03 priority P-3 targets roughly correspond to Inca’s Tamborine Target. Historic accounts of mineralised granite are focussed on the area of RP-FF-02.

  • The new RP- FF-04 priority P-3 target .

Further independent interpretations are being carried out across the greater Frewena Group Project area, particularly at Frewena Fable and Frewena East. A fuller explanation of the existing targets, and possible further new targets will be provided when the interpretations are completed. The Company is also reviewing the data and may generate its own targets for further appraisal and drill testing.

It is worth mentioning that the consultancy included the large Frewena East Project area in the interpretations despite this area not being covered in the Company’s AMAGRAD survey. Interpretations within Frewena East Project area are entirely based on historical data and government programs data. This does not in any respect lessen the importance of targets located outside the AMAGRAD survey area.

The independently generated Tier-1 scale IOCG-like targets are of a scale and configuration in a regional tectonic setting that largely validates and heightens IOCG prospectivity. This is illustrated below with known IOCG deposit geophysical anomaly outlines (magnetics and/or gravity) superimposed to scale on the Frewena East and Frewena Far East Project areas (Figure 3). At a glance, and as an example, the RP-FE-02 target gravity outline is larger than the Olympic Dam gravity outline.

The comparison of the geophysical anomaly sizes between the IOCG-like targets at Frewena East and Frewena Far East to known IOCG deposit geophysical anomaly outlines, seeks to compare geophysical anomaly sizes only. No tonnage or grade comparison is made. However, of interest is the size of the geophysical signatures, of the various priority targets identified at the various Frewena projects, compares more than favourably with those of the known and highly profitable IOCG deposits shown.

For size comparison only, the geophysical expressions of a selection of NT/QLD IOCG deposits are included at the same scale of the targets. As an example, the Olympic Dam gravity signature (black dashed line) is compared to the gravity high of RP-FE-02 (red dashed line). THIS COMPARISON HAS NO BEARING ON TONNAGE OR GRADE.

Next Steps

As mentioned above, further independent and in-house interpretations may result in the refinement and re-prioritisation of existing targets. This work, which is anticipated to be completed within two weeks, may also generate additional drill-worthy targets.

Notwithstanding possible changes and additions to the targets, the Company plans to advance exploration at a number of the prioty-1 IOCG/SEDEX targets in a timely manner. Ground gravity surveys are already being planned across the greater Frewena Group Project area and will target P-1 targets.

==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Ground-truthing field work (mapping and sampling) is also planned for the Frewena Fable Project and will focus on the recently generated targets, as well as the previously known Tamborine and Alpaca Targets. Although these “original” targets are not highlighted by the consultancy, they are still considered prospective targets by the Company.

It is the intention of the Company to develop the highest priority IOCG/SEDEX targets as quickly as possible. As mentioned immediately above ground gravity surveys will be instrumental in refining the very large targets so that specific drill locations may be identified.

A parallel program will be conducted at the Company’s new Frewena Frontier Project to bring this area rapidly into alignment with the remainder of the greater Frewena Group Project area. Possible/probable programs include AMAGRAD surveys and reconnaissance mapping and sampling.

Drill testing the highest priority targets following this work is scheduled to commence in late 2021.

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.

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 preliminary interpretations of an independent assessment of a Company airborne magnetic and radiometric ( AMAGRAD ) survey completed at the Company’s Frewena Fable and Frewena Far East Projects and of government geophysical data of the greater Frewena Regional Project area.
