ASX Announcement │ 12 April 2021 │ ASX: ICG
INCA PROVIDES FURTHER INFORMATION ON LARGE-SCALE IOCG TARGETS AT NEWLY-ACQUIRED FREWENA FRONTIER PROJECT, NT
Frewena Frontier shaping up to be another “Frewena Far East” with highly attractive IOCG targets
Highlights
-
Newly-acquired Frewena Frontier Project hosts numerous large-scale, untested IOCG targets
-
Existing targets in the north of the Project include coincident gravity and magnetic anomalies with strong similarities to the highly prospective Mount Lamb Prospect at Frewena Far East
-
A large intrusion in the south of the Project is interpreted in multiple geophysical datasets
-
Iron oxide brecciated rocks identified during brief reconnaissance supports the IOCG exploration model
Further to the recently announced acquisition of the Frewena Frontier Project (see ASX announcement, 6 April 2021), Inca Minerals Limited (ASX: ICG ) is pleased to provide a more detailed description of the Project’s existing IOCG targets and exploration potential. The Frewena Frontier Project comprises a total area of 2,416km[2] and is located generally east of Inca’s Frewena East and Far East Projects and located west of Teck Resource’s large East Tennant Project. For the purpose of this announcement, Frewena Frontier is described in two parts, north (comprising one ELA) and south (comprising two ELA’s) (Figure 1).

A large intrusion is interpreted in the southern portion of the Project and is elongated in the NW-SE orientation. Magnetic anomalies above and adjacent to this intrusion warrant exploration. This plan first appears in ASX Announcement dated 6 April 2021.
Frewena Frontier (North)
The northern part of Frewena Frontier hosts a large target area extending over 25km x 35km that is highly prospective for IOCG-style mineralisation. The target area comprises multiple coincident (off-set) magnetic and gravity anomalies that are distributed along a SW-NE trending corridor defined by interpreted deep seated structures (Figures 3 and 4).
Importantly, the target area at Frewena Frontier (North) is directly along strike from the Frewena Far East and Frewena East magnetic-gravity trends that host multiple IOCG targets. Among the most significant of these is the 18km long Mount Lamb IOCG Target that hosts (but excised from) the Government drill hole NDIBK04, which intersected a 326m down-hole interval of IOCG-style alteration and sulphide mineralisation, including the copper ore-forming minerals, bornite and chalcopyrite.

Figure 3 : Bouguer gravity map of Frewena Frontier (North), Frewena Far East and part of Frewena East. Gravity highs are highlighted (dotted pink lines) as are magnetic highs (dotted green lines) and a basic structural interpretation (dotted blue lines) in Frewena Frontier (North). The hydrothermal-related mag-gravity trends of Frewena Far East and Frewena East (thick transparent yellow lines) align with mag-gravity and interpreted structures of Frewena Frontier (North).
Like the IOCG targets at Frewena East and Frewena Far East, the Frewena Frontier (North) IOCG targets are aligned along regional scale, deep seated host SW-NE structures, as mentioned above, that traverse much of the greater East Tennant area. Importantly, at a local scale, the Frewena Frontier (North) IOCG targets possess a NW-SE orientation. This approximate ninety degree orientation reflects cross cutting younger faults that disrupt the older structures (Figures 3 and 4). NW-SE cross cutting structures are also apparent at Frewena Far East, with respect to the spatial juxtaposition of the Mount Lamb and Plains IOCG targets (as discussed in previous ASX announcement dated 15 January 2021).
The cross cutting structural relationship of the major faults at Frewena Frontier (North) is considered important for ground preparation and potential [IOCG] ore deposit formation.
The size, strength and structural setting of offset magnetic and gravity anomalies within Frewena Frontier (North) marks these features as quality IOCG targets, especially in light of the highly encouraging results from MinEx CRC’s drill hole NDIBK04.
Government visual logging of NDIBK04 confirms the presence of 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). Copper mineralisation, (chalcopyrite and bornite), increases from 250m depth and is open at EOH. Geological, structural, alteration and mineralisation indicators in NDIBK04 suggest the presence of IOCG-style mineralisation. Government assay results are pending.

Several (not all) NW-SE cross cutting structures are highlighted (thin solid black lines) at Frewena Fronter (North) and at Frewena Far East. Those at Frewena Far East are important in the alignment and shape of the Mount Lamb and Plains IOCG targets.
Frewena Frontier (South)
In the southern portion of the Project, a series of highly disjointed magnetic anomalies occur within an extensive, SW-NE trending, stratigraphic related gravity high (Figure 5). Structural disruption in this area is attributed to a 14km by 35km intrusion that is interpreted in magnetic, radiometric, gravity, ASTER and electromagnetic datasets. An alteration halo is thought to partially surrounding this feature (Figure 5).
As with IOCG targets nearby in Frewena Frontier North, this intrusion is elongate NW-SE indicating its emplacement was in part controlled by younger cross cutting faults, which suggests a younger age of emplacement compared with older SW-NE trending stratigraphy.
Magnetic highs above this intrusion, and adjacent to its outer margin, are considered as IOCG style targets that warrant exploration, especially in areas of higher gravity response. Indeed, this setting bears strong similarity to the schematic Magmaderived and Surface- or basin-derived IOCG models (Figure 7) in the Exploration Model section below. Additionally, potential also exists for intrusion related Au-Cu mineralisation and/or orogenic Au within faults zones associated with this intrusion. Assessing for hydrothermal alteration and mineralisation indicators above and adjacent to this intrusion warrants exploration.
Prospectivity of this area was initially noted in 2018 when the Frewena Fable exploration model was expanded over the greater East Tennant region. Notably, Frewena Frontier (South) was one of two high priority areas identified at this time, with the other being the Frewena Far East Project, including the Mount Lamb Prospect.
While limited historical exploration has occurred over the Project area, reconnaissance in 2018 identified brecciated sedimentary rocks with strong iron content as hematite-goethite cement and goethite breccia clasts (Figure 6), providing support for the IOCG exploration model. The white star (Figures 2 and 5) indicates the location of the rock chip (Figure 6).

The IOCG Exploration Model
As with the greater Frewena Group Project, the Frewena Frontier Project is primarily considered prospective for large scale IOCG mineralisation, though potential also exists for other deposit styles including intrusion related Au-Cu, orogenic Au and SEDEX base metal systems.
IOCG is a broad term that includes iron enriched Cu-Au mineralisation that can form through a number of different mechanisms (Figure 7). Common to these different mechanisms is the mixing of hot, metal endowed, reduced fluids from magmatic or metamorphic sources, with cool, oxidised surface waters that leads to metal precipitation and – ideally – ore deposit formation.
Across the East Tennant region, the excellent pre-competitive work led by Geoscience Australia and the Northern Territory Geological Survey has confirmed existence of an extensive, mantle tapping fault network that has allowed metal bearing magmas and fluids to ascend to the near surface during the geological past. While the dominant trend of these faults is SWNE, more subtle secondary and tertiary structure orientations exist that represent accommodation structures resulting from a long lived, multi-episodic structural history.
A central tenet in the formation of IOCG systems, and indeed for most metallic ore deposits, is ground preparation that includes fracturing and faulting, leading to weakening of host lithologies and an increase in permeability. Weakening of lithologies can assist magmas to intrude, while increased permeability along faults and fractures is crucial for fluid mixing.
Ground preparation is a term to describe the various geological processes that make bedrock susceptible to breaking, generating space and permeability to allow metal-bearing fluids and magmas to rise up from below.
Within the Frewena Frontier Project, numerous NW-SE accommodation structures are noted to cross cut the older, more dominant SW-NE trends. Where compelling gravity and magnetic anomalies occur proximal to intersection of these structures, the potential for IOCG mineralisation increases.
Indeed, the NW-SE structures believed essential for the possible emplacement of IOCG systems pervade at Frewena Far East, controlling the Mount Lamb-Plains IOCG targets; at Frewena Frontier controlling the multiple magnetic-gravity IOCG targets and interpreted large intrusion (as described in this announcement).

Figure 7 : Schematic diagrams of different IOCG models includes the Magma-derived and Surface- or basin-derived types where metalenriched fluids derived from underlying intrusions migrate upwards to mix with surface waters resulting in metal precipitation and ore deposit formation. Ground preparation through extensive faulting is required to allow fluid mixing.

Importance of the Findings and the Acquisition – a MD’s note
Inca’s greater Frewena Group Project now comprises four individual projects, the original Frewena Fable Project, pegged prior to the East Tennant land rush; the subsequent Frewena East and Far East Projects, and now the Frewena Frontier Project. As an early mover Inca is exceptionally well placed in this tremendously exciting and rapidly unfolding tier-1 exploration destination.
In light of two recent “copper finds”, Middle island’s copper in sampling and the Government’s NDIBK04 copper in drilling discoveries, there is strong geochemical support for the geological and geophysical IOCG model (and SEDEX) model for East Tennant. The Middle island copper is immediately adjacent to Inca’s Frewena East Project; and NDIBK04 is encased in Inca’s Frewena Far East Project.
Great credit must be attributed to MRG Resources (Rob Heaslop) for these projects. And great credit also must be attributed to Inca’s shareholders who at first might have questioned the wisdom of pegging such large areas in remote outback Australia, a long way from the flagship project in Peru. The results generated to date from the entire Frewena package of projects have to a very high degree supported such strategy.

Ownership: Above mentioned EL’s secured through JV and Royalty agreements with Inca to acquire 90%. 1.5% NSR payable to 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 Joint Venture and Royalty Agreements 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
No Company sampling or assay results are referred to in this announcement. Interpretation of regional geophysical data included in this announcement was undertaken by MRG and reviewed by Inca.

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, ASTER, magnetic, and gravity data to be dominated by outcropping or near surface granitic lithologies. These older granitic lithologies are considered prospective to host IOCG mineralisation.

-
Down hole length and interception depth.
-
Hole length.
Company Commentary
No Company sampling or assay results are referred to in this announcement.
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 Company sampling or assay results are referred to in this announcement.
Page | 14
==> picture [172 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
Criteria: Data aggregation methods
JORC CODE Explanation
Company Commentary
No sampling or assay results are referred to in this announcement.
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
