Laconia Resources – March 2012 Quarterly Report
Rasuhuilca Gold-Silver Project acquisition, Peru (100% Laconia)
In November the Company announced an agreement to acquire the Rasuhuilca advanced goldsilver development project in Peru. The project is located approximately 500km south east of the capital Lima, in southern part of the country (see Project Location map on following page).
During the quarter, the Company announced that it had successfully completed its due diligence over the Rasuhuilca project, and would proceed with the acquisition of the project.
The acquisition is now subject to due regulatory process, which is underway, and to the approval of Laconia shareholders. A meeting will be convened for this purpose in the near future.
About the Rasuhuilca project
The Rasuhuilca project is an advanced, high-grade gold and silver development project with outstanding near-term development potential and major exploration upside.
A Feasibility Study was conducted at the project in 2008 and (post completion of the acquisition) Laconia will aim to bring it into production within 12-18 months and use revenues to unlock the project’s major exploration upside. The acquisition will establish Laconia as an emerging precious metals producer and will complement the Company’s existing portfolio of precious and base metals projects in WA.
Acquisition Consideration
The project will be acquired from Perth-based exploration company Gold Mines of Peru Limited. Consideration for the acquisition is:
-
42.055m ordinary Laconia shares;
-
14.5m performance shares;
-
$120,000 paid over 6 months to a third party;
-
$500,000 from production revenue only if production revenue is reached within 5 years;
-
Dr Saliba Sassine, Chairman of Gold Mines of Peru, will join the Laconia Board on completion of the acquisition.
The project currently has an Inferred Resource estimate[1] of; 360,000t @ 1.97g/t Au and 179g/t Ag (at a 2.5 g/t AuEq cut-off[2] ).
This Resource statement was based on historical data and there was a lack of independent QAQC data available, which resulted in reporting of the Resource in the Inferred category. Once independent sampling has been completed to confirm the tenor of the historic data, it is envisaged that the Resource category and size will be upgraded, so that it can be used as the basis for mine planning activities.
1 Refer to ASX announcement 25 January 2012.
2 All cut offs based on an Xg/t Au Eq are conceptual in nature only. There has been insufficient metallurgical test work to date to determine eventual metallurgical recoveries and it is uncertain that the conceptual cut offs used below will be appropriate following further metallurgical test work.

Preliminary Metallurgical test work on Oxide Resource at Lennons Find Project – Base Metals, East Pilbara WA (95% Laconia)
M45/368, E45/3293
During the quarter the Company announced the results from preliminary metallurgical leach tests at Lennons Find, based on Reverse Circulation (RC) drill chips from the oxide component of the project’s Resource[3] .
Results to date have been encouraging and RC drilling will commence in the June quarter to increase the oxide Resource. Basic metallurgical testing will continue, including column leach testing of coarser material with cyanide leach. Future work will focus on column leach testing at coarser crush sizes, which will more closely represent the conditions expected in a small scale/low capital cost heap leach operation.
3 Refer to ASX announcement 15 March 2012.

Laconia Resources – March 2012 Quarterly Report
Metallurgical Testwork
The metallurgical testing of RC chips from the oxide Resource was conducted at ALS AMMTEC metallurgical laboratories in Perth, under the supervision of the company’s consulting metallurgist, Mr Phil Hunt of Phil Hunt and Associates Pty. Ltd., Perth.
The preliminary leach tests on RC chips produced the following results[4] :
-
After 4 days of intermittent bottle roll a sulphuric acid leach extracted 75% of the copper metal and 87% of the zinc metal.
-
After 4 days of intermittent bottle roll a subsequent cyanide leach extracted 87% of the gold and 94% of the silver .
Upcoming Work
The results of the leach tests of the oxide Resource indicate that the metals are leachable, and, on this basis the Company will explore for additional oxide Resources. The next phase of RC drilling will target resource extensions at Bronze Whaler and Tiger prospects plus exploration drilling at the Grey Nurse and Mako prospects, within the project area.
Laconia will also take bulk samples of the oxide Resource for column testing so that greater size fractions can be assessed.
Consulting Geologist Dr Susan Belford will progress detailed mapping and litho-geochemical sampling. Her work will concentrate on understanding the overall mineralising system at Lennons Find, and this information will be incorporated into an exploration model for the Lennons Find area.
The sulphide ore Resource at the Hammerhead deposit at Lennons Find appears to have a south east plunging high grade zone which, to date, has been drilled to a vertical depth of 300 metres. Following the drilling to target additional oxide Resources the company will rank its exploration targets, with a view to discovering additional sulphide Resources on the highest ranked targets.
About the Lennons Find Base Metal Project
The total Mineral Resource at Lennons Find is:
-
1.8Mt @ 82g/t silver, 0.26g/t gold, 0.2% copper, 1.4% lead and 5.1% zinc (in Indicated and Inferred categories, at various Zn Equivalent cut-off grades[5] ).
-
Resource also includes an oxide Resource of; 200,000t @ 89g/t silver, 0.37g/t gold, 0.2%copper, 1.2 % lead and 1.4% zinc[6] .
The Mineral Resource at Lennons Find was estimated by Optiro Pty Ltd. in accordance with the JORC Code 2004 and incorporated results from a successful 42 hole, 1,939 metre drilling campaign conducted at the project in the latter part of 2011[7] .

Laconia acquired a 95% interest in the Lennons Find project (M45/368) from Jabiru Metals Limited in March 2011. At the same time it announced the acquisition of the nearby Yandicoogina base metals project from Shaw River Resources (ASX: SRR). The two projects are located approximately 40 km from Marble Bar on the southern edge of the Mt Edgar Granitoid Complex, in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Within the project areas outcropping gossanous veins with elevated base metals grades occur at a consistent horizon in the Duffer Formation, and it is this horizon which is the current focus for Laconia’s base metals exploration. To date Laconia has explored 1.0 kilometer of the overall 5.0 kilometers of favourable Duffer Formation.

701 Mile Project – Gold and Base Metals, East Pilbara WA
(80% Laconia – excluding manganese and iron)
E52/2232, E52/2688
During the 2011 field season a total of 1,135 auger and soil samples were assayed for a 42 element suite, at ALS Minerals laboratory in Perth, using low detection limits for precious metals, base metals, uranium, rare earths, and pathfinder elements. The geochemical results highlighted a number of target areas with elevated silver grades (up to 23.9g/t silver) with supporting base metals anomalism[8] . Current in-fill drilling on a 200m grid pattern is currently being conducted on these target areas.
A total of 650 auger holes were completed during the quarter and the samples are currently being assayed at Ultratrace Mineral Laboratory in Perth. The program is approximately 50% complete at the time of writing.
The 701 Mile Project lies within the Collier Basin on the southern edge of the Pilbara Craton in a similar geological setting to known base metal resources at Abra, Prairie Downs and Kumarina.
The project is located proximal to the Tangadee Lineament, and based on aeromagnetic interpretations there is strong evidence for regional fault systems and mafic to intermediate intrusives within the company’s tenements.
Upcoming Work
The auger geochemical drilling will continue into the next quarter as a wider spaced 800m regional grid pattern along the untested eastern side of the tenements, where there is strong evidence of regional structure in the aeromagnetic data.
Assay results from the 200m spaced infill programme will be interpreted and geophysical programs will be planned.

In August 2011, the Company entered into a $7.5 million Joint Venture (JV) Agreement with Chinese syndicate, Sinoz Mining Investment Group Pty Ltd (Sinoz), for the exploration and development of its Mooletar Iron Ore Project, near Mt Magnet in the Mid West iron ore precinct of Western Australia.
Sinoz has subsequently requested that an additional party be permitted to join the joint venture syndicate. The terms of the transaction remain as previously announced, but Laconia has consented to an extension of the time to allow additional due diligence to be completed.
Upcoming Work
Geophysical company DIMAP has recently flown an aerial survey over the Mooletar tenements and the data is currently being processed to produce a three dimensional DTM (digital terrain model) of the ground surface, plus a high resolution digital ortho-photo image of the tenement area .
The DTM and ortho-photo will be invaluable in planning future surface drilling of the banded iron ridges.
A contract geologist has been engaged to complete surface geological and structural mapping of the banded iron formations at Mooletar during the June quarter.

Laconia Resources – March 2012 Quarterly Report
About the Mooletar Project
The Mooletar project has an Exploration Target of 220-260 million tonnes of iron at 30- 35% Fe[9] . The Exploration Target was confirmed as a result of two drill programs at the project and a detailed mapping program completed over the project area. It was confirmed by independent consultants, BM Geological Services Pty Ltd[10] .
Two distinct high grade Banded Iron Formation (BIF) units have been identified over a 5km portion at the project. In addition to the Exploration Target, positive results from initial metallurgical test work have confirmed the potential for the project to produce a high grade magnetite concentrate[11] .
Results from Davis Tube Recovery (DTR) test work indicated that a high grade magnetite product may be achieved with grades up to 70.4% Fe and low levels of phosphorus and silica. The Company has completed a scoping study to evaluate its exploration and development potential.
The Mooletar project lies approximately 330km east of Geraldton and approximately 125km from the proposed rail line in the mid-west infrastructure corridor that would access the Oakajee port infrastructure. The project area is also accessible by sealed roads. The Project is 100% owned by Laconia and comprises an area of 75km[2] of folded Archaean greenstone belt, over the eastern limb of the Mount Magnet greenstone belt.
Barramine Project – Gold and Base Metals, East Pilbara WA
(100% Laconia – excluding manganese and iron)
E45/3312, E45/3233, E45/3234
Laconia Resources was granted $150,000 in funding for the Barramine project, in a co-founding arrangement under the WA State Government Exploration Incentive Scheme. Laconia will be required to match the $150,000 funding grant on a dollar for dollar basis on direct drill spending.
Exploration progress on the central Barramine tenement E45/ 3233 to date is as follows:
-
Heliborne XTEM geophysical surveys have been completed and late time geophysical targets have been identified;
-
Structural and geological mapping has been completed;
-
Geochemical sampling programmes totalling 6,500 soil samples have identified anomalous zones. A further follow up 1,100 samples have been collected with final assays awaited and expected in May 2012.
Upcoming Work
The final stage of target identification will be undertaken in preparation for Reverse Circulation drilling of coincident geochemical and geophysical targets before the end of the June quarter.
9 Refer to ASX announcement 18 November 2010.
10 The potential quantity and grade of the Mooletar Project is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient drilling to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource.

Appendix1: Lennons Find Metallurgical Leach Test Results
The preliminary metallurgical testwork was completed at ALS AMMTEC metallurgical laboratories in Perth under the supervision of the company’s consulting metallurgist Mr. Phil Hunt, of P.R. Hunt and Associates Pty. Ltd, Perth.
A composite sample of Reverse Circulation drill chips from the Hammerhead, Bronze Whaler and Tiger deposits at Lennons Find was tested for amenability to sulphuric acid leaching for the extraction of copper and zinc[12] followed by cyanidation for extraction of gold and silver. The sample tested assayed 0.48g/t Au, 172g/t Ag, 0.77%Cu, 0.78%Zn and 1.08%Pb. (4 acid digest and ICPOES read for base metals, FA and ICPMS read for gold)
The test results were as follows;
-
Sulphuric Acid leach recoveries: 75% of the copper and 87% of the zinc was extracted in an intermittent bottle roll acid leach with a sulphuric acid consumption of 29.5kg/t (H2SO4). As is observed in Graph 1 (below) acid leaching was essentially completed in 4 days.
-
Cyanide leach recoveries: Over 87% of the Gold and 94% of the Silver was extracted in a subsequent intermittent bottle roll cyanide leach, with a cyanide consumption of 2.4kg/t (NaCN). As is observed in Graph 2 (below) cyanide leaching was essentially completed in 2 days.
-
Lead extraction was low in both acid leach and cyanide leach.

Mineralogical test work
A semi quantitative XRD analysis of the head sample was undertaken at ALS AMMTEC laboratory. The predominant minerals were found to be quartz and muscovite comprising over 86% of the sample. Lead, copper and Zinc are presents as carbonates, sulphates and sulphides. Some clay minerals including kaolinite, smectite and possibly nontronite were identified.
Future metallurgical test work
Future work will focus on column leach testing at coarser crush sizes, which will more closely represent the conditions expected in a small scale/low capital cost heap leach operation.
