ASX Announcement │ 3 March 2021 │ ASX: ICG

INITIAL SOIL SAMPLE PROGRAM COMPLETED OVER HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE IOCG TARGET AT FREWENA EAST, NT

5km diameter IOCG target located immediately adjacent to recent Crosswinds copper discovery

Highlights

  • Initial field exploration completed over recently identified 5km diameter IOCG/SEDEX[1] Roadhouse Target

  • Target re-evaluated in light of Middle Island Resources’ (ASX: MDI) nearby Crosswinds Copper Prospect

  • Company reviews indicate that the Crosswinds copper occurrence is located on the western margin of a large multi-anomaly target centred within Inca’s Frewena East Project

  • Soil sample results expected to provide further insights into the emerging IOCG/SEDEX exploration opportunity at Frewena East

Further to its announcement of 15 January, Inca Minerals Limited (ASX: ICG ) ( Inca or the Company ) advises that it has completed an initial orientation soil sampling program to further evaluate the potential of various IOCG/SEDEX targets at its 90%-owned Frewena East Project in the East Tennant IOCG Field in the Northern Territory.

Frewena East forms part of Inca’s pipeline of potentially Tier-1 exploration opportunities in Australia and is located immediately adjacent to the recently reported copper carbonate discovery at the Crosswinds Prospect by Middle Island Resources Limited (ASX: MDI ), part of its Barkly Copper-Gold Super Project.

The land holding in the East Tennant IOCG Field is now tightly held. Inca has a very strong holding in the area which is now also being seen as a potential region for Tier-1 SEDEX deposits (Refer to Key Words). Major mining houses Newcrest and Teck are present.

On 23 December 2020, MDI reported the discovery of copper mineralisation-in-calcrete deposits (Figure 2) with composite rock chip sampling assays of 130m at 0.76% Cu (unaltered MDI text and figures are replicated as Appendix 1 of this announcement).

Inca’s exploration team immediately assessed the MDI Cu discovery in the context of its general relevance to the Company’s ground at Frewena East. The key findings (see ASX announcement, 5 January 2020) were:

  • The MDI Crosswinds copper occurrence is located 800m west of Inca’s Frewena East EL32289 tenement.

  • • On the adjacent section of Inca’s Frewena East EL32289 tenement, the Company has identified a discrete circular anomaly in magnetotelluric ( MT ) conductivity data approximately 5km in diameter (Figure 2), referred to as the Roadhouse Target.

  • The MDI copper occurrence is located on the western margin of the Roadhouse Target (Figure 2) and is believed to possibly associate with this anomaly.

  • The MDI copper occurrence is located close to a major southwest-northeast structure that “connects” not only the Roadhouse Target, but also several additional targets on Inca’s Frewena Far East Project on the same structure (Figure 3).

  • The juxtaposition of the Crosswinds Prospect and Inca’s Roadhouse Target largely validates MDI’s interpretation of the genesis of copper mineralisation and their exploration model that is now being applied to the area (Appendix 1). This has further enhanced the prospectivity of the Roadhouse Target, which is one of a number of areas emerging as key focuses of Inca’s exploration activities in Australia.

The Company subsequently completed further reviews of various datasets from Frewena East and identified further anomalism and areas of interest in the immediate area. Several satellite (ASTER) anomalies were found to coincide with the Roadhouse Target (Figure 4), with field work suggesting some of these responses may relate to calcareous units at surface.

Further investigation of the conductivity data has revealed southwest-northeast linear trends that mimic regional structures seen in other datasets. These features strongly support the interpretation of deep basin-forming structures expending well into the crystalline Proterozoic bedrock, and raise the potential for basement hosted IOCG systems to occur, as well as SEDEX mineralisation in the overlying sedimentary rocks.

Based on this heightened prospectivity, a subsequent orientation soil program was designed for the Roadhouse Target (and another target) (Figure 4). This program has now been completed with samples submitted to the laboratory for analysis.

A total of 45 soil samples and 7 rockchip samples were taken for multi-element assay testing. In a largely flat and non-outcropping terrain, several sites of geological interest were identified. Rock specimen FE0006 (Figure 5 LEFT) shows a silcrete that is formed after silica replacement of limestone. Further work is required to assess whether the alteration is related to hydrothermal or regolith (soil) processes. Rock specimen FE0011 (Figure 5 RIGHT) shows a strongly limonitic shale. Shales like these are potential targets for SEDEX style mineralisation.

Like Inca, Middle Island is applying an IOCG exploration model to their large 3,253km[2] Barkly Copper-Gold SuperProject. The surface copper mineralisation of the Crosswinds Prospect and Middle Island’s interpretation regarding its provenance is consistent with Inca’s IOCG exploration model for the area.

Furthermore, the interpreted southwest-northeast regional trend of a possible mineral trend is entirely consistent with Government geophysical interpretations and IOCG probability plots.

Inca Minerals’ Managing Director, Ross Brown, said: “The Frewena Project is located in the heart of an exciting new exploration frontier in the East Tennant IOCG field, where we believe the potential for Tier-1 IOCG/SEDEX discoveries below the Georgina Basin cover is very high.

The potential of this area has been validated by the recent Middle Island copper discovery at Crosswinds, and we are looking forward to receiving the results of our first field sampling program which we believe will provide us with further insights into the significant exploration potential of this area.”

Figure 9: MDI’s sample location plan as their Figure 3, showing copper assay results. MDI describes the Cu mineralisation is being hosted in calcrete and silcrete deposits that have developed over Cambrian age Georgina Basin limestones. ICP-OES assays of samples collected over 20m to 65m intervals (MDI Figure 3) range from 0.63% to 0.93% Cu.

Page | 8

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

According to MDI, Cu mineralisation is in the form of the ore-forming mineral malachite, which has a Cu content of 57.48%. It is a secondary form of Cu mineralisation, meaning that the Cu metal has been mobilised from a primary source. Inca agrees with MDI, that the Cu is likely sourced from rocks below the Georgina Basin limestones, brought to the surface via faults and reprecipitated via weathering processes.
