ASX Announcement │ 8 March 2021 │ ASX: ICG

GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA DRILLING INTERSECTS IOCG-STYLE SULPHIDES NEAR INCA’S FREWENA FAR EAST PROJECT

Government drilling validates Inca’s IOCG model for its Frewena Group Project, confirming the potential for large-scale mineral discoveries

Highlights

  • Initial results from a 10-hole stratigraphic drill program in the East Tennant released by Geoscience Australia

  • Two government holes fall within areas wholly enclosed by, but excised from, Inca’s Frewena Far East Project

  • Logging by Geoscience Australia notes the presence of sulphides, alteration and textures of IOCG affinity

  • Results continue to validate the East Tennant region as being highly prospective for a range of mineralisation styles, including large-scale IOCG, orogenic gold and SEDEX systems

  • Drilling data to be incorporated into Inca’s detailed review of the East Tennant to aid drill targeting

Inca Minerals Limited (ASX: ICG ) ( Inca or the Company ) is pleased to advise that initial results from a 10-hole stratigraphic drilling program conducted by Geoscience Australia ( GA ) in the East Tennant region of the Northern Territory have provided strong support for its exploration strategy in this emerging mineral province.

The drill program was undertaken as part of the National Drilling Initiative ( NDI ), designed to increase stratigraphic knowledge across this under-explored region and to evaluate the potential for large-scale forms of mineralisation, including but not limited to Iron Ore Copper-Gold ( IOCG ) systems.

Importantly, NDI drill holes NDIBK01 (Hole 1) and NDIBK04 (Hole 4) intersected significant intervals of sulphide mineralisation with IOCG affinities (an example from Hole 4 at 251m depth - Figure 1).

These holes are located on government retained areas entirely enclosed within Inca’s Frewena Far East Project (Figures 2 and 3). The location of these holes allows the Company to report to the market the results of these holes as having a direct and highly positive impact on Inca.

Frewena Far East forms part of Inca’s greater Frewena Project, which also includes Frewena Fable and Frewena East. The Frewena Project is considered prospective for Tier-1 scale IOCG, orogenic gold and SEDEX mineralisation.

Stratigraphic drilling was completed as part of the NDI follows extensive geophysical surveying by GA and the Northern Territory Geological Survey ( NTGS ). In recent years, the East Tennant region has emerged as an IOCG exploration hotspot. As an early mover into the region, Inca is pleased to have secured a large and highly prospective landholding.

GA’s stratigraphic drilling has significantly increased geological knowledge of the East Tennant region. The two holes completed in proximity to Frewena Far East, Hole 1 and Hole 4, were drilled to depths of 351.8m and 416.3m respectively (Appendix 2). Notably, Hole 4 is located on Inca’s Mount Lamb Target (Figure 3), close to where Inca has previously reported the presence of iron-rich breccias with low-level base metal geochemistry.

Mount Lamb is located above a major 18km long magnetic anomaly that trends NE-SW through Frewena Far East and coincides with an important regional scale fault (Figure 3).

Hole 1 intersected an approximately 125m thick sequence of carbonate sedimentary rocks from surface, lying above a series of basic-acid intrusive lithologies, low-intermediate grade metamorphic rocks, and a thick zone of faulting or shearing.

Extensive veining and alteration are noted by GA with various mineral types, including: carbonate, chlorite, iron oxide, potassium feldspar, quartz, haematite and sericite. Alteration occurs in various styles and strengths, including vein fill, vein selvage, replacements, boxworks and banding. Narrow zones of rare, disseminated pyrite occur throughout the basement lithologies, with lesser chalcopyrite occurring in places alongside pyrite.

Hole 4 intersected an approximately 140m thick sequence of silicious-carbonate sedimentary rocks from surface that show pervasive overprinting of quartz, kaolinite and goethite, which conforms to surface geology observed and sampled by Inca. These rocks overlie an approximately 60m thick zone of schist and marble that is described as poly-deformed and brecciated with strong hematite and potassic alteration. Numerous cavities were encountered in drilling, both immediately above and below this unit.

Extensive veining and alteration are noted in Hole 4 with various mineral types, including: carbonate, chlorite, epidote, iron oxide, quartz, potassium feldspar, biotite and sulphide. Alteration occurs mostly as vein and fault selvages. Widespread sulphides are noted below 89.5m to the end-of-hole and include pyrite, pyrrhotite, marcasite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite, as well as rarer galena and bornite. Sulphide distribution occurs as disseminations, vein and veinlet fillings and selvages, fracture selvages and laminae (Figure 1, Appendix 1).

Encouragingly, both holes have intersected igneous (granitic) rocks and highly metamorphosed rock (gneiss), with observed zones of intense brecciation, veining and foliation. As well as the occurrences of ore-forming minerals and alteration, mentioned above, these parameters are characteristic of potential large mineral systems, like IOCG’s.

GA’s drilling was undertaken in two areas that are wholly enclosed by Inca’s EL 32293 tenement (red outline). The Mount Lamb, Desert Creek, Plains and SW targets are also highlighted.

The results from GA’s stratigraphic drilling will be interrogated by the Company and will be part of a comprehensive Frewena Project review currently being undertaken by Inca’s expert geophysical consultancy. This all-encompassing review is designed to extract maximum value from the large pre-competitive geophysical database that exists in the East Tennant. This database includes electromagnetic, magnetotelluric and seismic surveying, in addition to Inca’s recently completed detailed AMAGRAD survey.

GA’s objective in drilling Hole 4 was to “ test a coincident magnetic, gravity and conductivity anomaly adjacent to a major shear zone. Testing for the distal footprints of minerals systems in the East Tennant region and validating the use of regional datasets acquired during EFTF for identifying distal footprints .” Given these objectives have been demonstratively achieved, Inca concludes that the hole has been a resounding success.

The occurrence of Cu mineralisation in Hole 4 has a profoundly positive impact on the prospectivity of Inca’s Frewena Far East Project. This is because, Hole 4 is located on Inca’s 18km long Mount Lamb Target, making Mount Lamb Target a geophysical and geochemical defined target. Furthermore, the SW, Mount Lamb and the Desert Creek targets, which are along strike, defines a corridor of approximately 30km, now known to host Cu mineralisation. When considering that Tier-1 deposits typically occur at structural intersections, the 5km diameter Plains Target now also comes into play, as it is located on a structure that crosses the Cu-trend (Figure 3).

Commenting on the results of the NDI holes, Inca Minerals’ Managing Director, Ross Brown, said: “The government drilling has revealed some stunning new geology for the East Tennant area. The presence of broad sequences of veined and altered rocks with ore-forming copper minerals below thin cover has certainly exceeded expectations and is a very exciting development for this highly prospective but under-explored province. It’s a strong endorsement of the decision to acquire a large and strategic landholding, as early movers, in the exciting exploration area.

The location of two highly successful Government holes ‘within but excised from’ Inca’s Frewena Far East Project, particularly Hole 4, certainly elevates this project to a new level. Our team is now working to add this remarkable new dataset to Inca’s own exploration data. We are also looking forward to the results of our recently completed soil sampling program, which will add another valuable layer for drilling targeting.”

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

This announcement refers to initial results of a stratigraphic drill program recently released by Geoscience Australia. The Company advises that the two holes mentioned in this announcement do not fall within Company held tenure but lie nearby and are considered as important results reflecting the prospectivity of the Company’s tenure. Results presented in this announcement refer to visual logging completed by Geoscience Australia and make no mention of assay results or techniques.

No Company sampling or assay results are referred to in this announcement.

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

This announcement refers to initial results of a stratigraphic drill program recently released by Geoscience Australia. The Company advises that the two holes mentioned in this announcement do not fall within Company held tenure but lie nearby and are considered as important results reflecting the prospectivity of the Company’s tenure. Results presented in this announcement refer to visual logging completed by Geoscience Australia and make no mention of assay results or techniques. All pertinent hole data is provided in Appendix 2.

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

This announcement refers to initial results of a stratigraphic drill program recently released by Geoscience Australia. The Company advises that the two holes mentioned in this announcement do not fall within Company held tenure but lie nearby and are considered as important results reflecting the prospectivity of the Company’s tenure. Results presented in this announcement refer to visual logging completed by Geoscience Australia and make no mention of assay results or techniques.

Hole details are not presented in this announcement given that the two holes discussed lie outside of the Company held tenure.

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

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

No sampling or assay results are referred to in this announcement. Visual logging reported by Geoscience Australia is considered by the Company are representative of the prospectivity of the Company’s nearby tenure.

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 preliminary AMAGRAD data are provided to show geophysical targets in relation to exploration conducted by another party.

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 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 makes references to data and press releases, dated 4 March and 5 March 2021 by Geoscience Australia and the MinexCRC regarding stratigraphic drilling in the East Tenant region.

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 both 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 of preliminary AMAGRAD data are provided that shows certain relevant geophysical targets of the Company.
