Laconia has recently identified a range of additional target areas which warrant follow up exploration, through a comprehensive review of all existing and available data including high grade rock chip samples, channel sampling at surface and underground adits. Throughout the review, which is ongoing, specific emphasis is being placed on the potential expansion of the existing resource at Rasuhuilca and the surrounding project area.

The acquisition of the Rasuhuilca project[3] was completed in June 2012. Rasuhuilca is an advanced, high grade gold and silver project which contains existing development levels and cross-cuts (Figures 1 & 2), and has outstanding near-term development potential. It is the Company’s intention to rapidly bring the underground mine into production.

Rasuhuilca Deposit Exploration Potential

The western high-grade silver zone at the Rasuhuilca deposit lies 110 metres west of the main body of mineralisation. Underground development from the main Rasuhuilca underground workings are already established (4890 Level), providing a location to drill test this western zone (refer to Figure1). Significant results are presented in Table 1. Complete assay results are presented in Appendix 1.

The high-grade silver zone at the west end of the Rasuhuilca Deposit has to date been subject to surface sampling and a single underground adit development. Only a small part of the zone has been tested sufficiently for inclusion in the existing inferred resource.

Abundant silver at surface demonstrates potential for a silver rich body extending to depth. This depth potential beneath the known mineralisation remains untested (refer to Figure 1).

The Company believes that historic channel sampling at 4890 Level did not return any high grade silver and gold results, as it failed to intersect the surface and adit mineralisation, which may plunge to the south. (Similar to the main Rasuhuilca mineralised body 110m to the east, Figure 6).

Additional High Grade Gold Silver Veins at Marcelita

The Marcelita vein system and underground development is located 4.5 km to the South East of the Rasuhuilca vein system.

Laconia’s review of the existing prospects at Marcelita has indicated a vein system which demonstrates a strike extent of 710 metres. To date, only 66 surface samples have been collected and assayed for gold and silver. Of the 66 samples collected, 44 samples contained gold greater than 1 g/t and/or silver greater than 60 g/t. A further 480 metre strike of veining exists in the area, which has not been surface sampled to date.

The review so far confirms considerable potential exists for gold-rich oxide material amenable to bulk mining techniques and the potential for deeper plunging shoots of sulphide material with gold and silver credits. Significant samples are presented in Table 2 and all results are presented in Appendix 2.

The Company’s exploration plan for the Marcelita area will focus on targeting oxide material to determine if there are quantities of gold mineralisation amenable to bulk mining techniques close to surface. In addition, the potential for deeper high grade shoots of silver and gold mineralisation focussed around the intersection or close occurrence of faults and veins will be evaluated.

Zones of breccia will also be targeted as the regional geology of the Rasuhuilca Project implies potential for the presence of mineralised phreatic breccias, with a significant vertical component.

Background to the exploration of the Marcelita Vein System

The Marcelita Prospect contains three mineralised silicified vein systems Veta Marcelita, Veta Marcelita 1 and Veta Marcelita 2, and one mineralised breccia Elsa Breccia (Figure 3 – prospect location plans). The Marcelita area was subject to exploration by Buenaventura from 1997 – 2003. Initial exploration consisted of surface sampling, followed by development of the 4710 adit that drives 300 metres along the Veta Marcelita 2 system. Historic resource estimates for Veta Marcelita 2 were not performed to the standard required for JORC reporting, and therefore need to be re-evaluated, possibly after collection of further data.

Geology

The Marcelita system is a silica-barite-gold-silver vein system that strikes north-south. There are numerous cross-cutting fault structures ranging from east-west orientation to southeast-northwest orientation. The veins range from stringer zones to greater than 1.5 metres width, and contain plunging shoots of high grade (> 30 g/t) gold mineralisation, as shown by historic exploration adit development, and small-scale mining operations by previous owners.

At the surface the mineralisation is hosted by oxidised rock, where sulphides are now weathered to hematite, jarosite and limonite/goethite. Supergene enhancement has increased the gold content and depleted the

==> picture [595 x 74] intentionally omitted <==

silver content in the oxide zone. At depth the veins contain abundant sulphides, and are more silver-rich. The extent of the mineralisation at depth is more constrained due to the lack of supergene dispersal through oxidation.

Historic work at Marcelita 2 has identified an oxide zone extending from surface to 50 to 70 metres depth, which is gold-rich and silver-depleted. Below the oxide zone there is a sulphide zone that is richer in silver than in gold.

Mineralisation occurs as shoots within the veins, and is most intense where the vein is intersected or paralleled by a fault.

Exploration Targets

To date only Veta Marcelita 2 has been subject to extensive evaluation in the form of exploration adits. Surface sampling of all the veins has been conducted, and results indicate that Veta Marcelita, Veta Marcelita 1 and the Elsa Breccia are also mineralised at surface. Table 2 demonstrates the rock chip samples from the surface sampling campaigns that contain greater than 1 g /t of gold, or greater than 60 g /t of silver. Figure 3 shows the location of surface rock chip samples, with ranges shown for gold (g/t) and silver (g/t) respectively. From these plans it is clear that there are high silver values found in surface samples at Veta Marcelita, and high gold values in surface samples from the Elsa Breccia.

Phase 1 Diamond Drilling Program To Commence In August 2012

Laconia plans to commence its first phase of drilling at the Rasuhuilca Project in August 2012. The initial phase of drilling will be a 2,200 metre underground diamond drilling program, designed to test mineralisation between the existing mine levels, thus validating the existing resource model. The Company believes potential exists to grow the resource base and has therefore planned extensional exploration drilling on the Rasuhuilca vein.

A contract to complete a Category One DIA (Environmental Impact Declaration) application has been awarded to environmental consultants Ximena Mining in Peru. The assessment is underway and is expected to be completed in four weeks. Tenders have been called for from Peruvian underground drilling specialists and drilling will commence after the necessary drilling permits have been granted by the Peruvian Government.

Feasibility Study To Be Reviewed

A Feasibility Study was completed at the Rasuhuilca project in June 2008. Laconia is planning to update and re-affirm the Feasibility Study results with a view to bringing the project into production as a high grade, small tonnage mining operation. The Company’s strategy is to utilise the potential revenues from the project to unlock the major exploration upside, and thereby increase the current resource base.

Relatively small scale, low tonnage, high grade underground gold and silver mining operations are common in the Peruvian mining industry and are a core business for a number of successful Peruvian based international companies The Rasuhuilca project is located in a region where major mining companies such as Xstrata and BHP Billiton are operating, with Xstrata planning to start production at the nearby Las Bambas project in 2013. Also In the same region is Hochschild Mining Plc’s (LON: HOC) major silver and gold operations. Hochschild has Reserves and Resources exceeding 186 million silver ounces and 1.1 million gold ounces[4] .

Rasuhuilca Project Exploration Potential

The Rasuhuilca Project is situated on the collapsed rim of the Rasuhuilca strato-volcano within a highly visible zone of secondary potassic alteration. Laconia aims to target the following mineralisation styles:

  • The network of outcropping gold-silver veins in lower temperature acidic outflow zones (silica-alunitesulphide alteration);

  • Large-scale, sub-horizontal disseminated gold-silver mineralisation within outflow zones;

  • High-grade bonanza gold veins beneath the acidic outflow zones;

  • Copper-gold mineralisation within buried intrusive stocks, or gold-silver-zinc mineralisation in skarns surrounding buried intrusive stocks.

The Rasuhuilca Project

The Rasuhuilca Project is located in the Andean volcanic arc of southern Peru (see Figure 3, Project location plan) and comprises four concessions (Patacancha No. 1 to 4) over a total area of 2,765 hectares. These concessions cover a large part of an extensive high-sulphidation alteration system. The best known mineralised body in the project is the Rasuhuilca zone, which has been explored by underground development. Average grades from underground channel sampling are approximately 2 g/t Au and 185 g/t Ag.

The Project has an Inferred Resource estimate[5 ] of; 360,000t @ 1.97g/t Au and 179g/t Ag (at a 2.5 g/t AuEq cut-off[6] ). The Resource statement is based on historical data. Independent sampling and drilling will be completed to confirm the tenor of the historic data and it is envisaged the Resource category and size will be upgraded, so that it can be used as the basis for mine planning activities.

Access to the project is via sealed highways through Nasca and Puquio, then minor roads. The final stage of approach to the project is via tracks from the nearby village of Chipao. Laconia plans to improve project access, and a short runway airstrip may also be constructed on the project area. There is a ready workforce, with prior experience in exploration and mining operations, in the nearby villages of Chipao and Andamarca.

Note 1: Sample results are compiled as weighted averages. Sample ID shown is for the first sample in the sequence. Samples were collected by Buenaventura between 1997 and 1999, and assayed at Intertek Bondar Clegg Bolivia. Gold (Au) was analysed by AAS with Fire Assay checks on 50 g aliquots to 2 ppb detection limits and AAS was used for Silver (Ag). All assays are available with original lab certificates from Intertek Bondar Clegg in Bolivia. Normal lab QAQC was done, and show no issues in quality.
