Rasuhuilca Copper-Gold-Silver Project, Southern Peru (100% Laconia)

Technical data supports copper porphyry potential

During the quarter Laconia’s ongoing systematic review of historical sample and drill data as well as interpretation of recently acquired ‘state of the art’ satellite alteration data points to a fully intact high sulphidation copper-gold-silver system with strong potential for an underlying mineralised copper porphyry system or associated deposits.

High grade copper has been identified in underground adits at Fortuna[1] and Española 1[2] prospects. There is approximately 5km of underground development and adits within the Rasuhuilca Project. Geological modeling of the available data points to a strong correlation of the copper anomalism with the large scale Huaco Fault, along which the northern and southern volcanic vent areas are located (Figure 2). Future priority exploration following all necessary drilling and community approvals will focus on the copper porphyry and high grade gold-copper skarn (El Indio) potential of the entire system as represented in Figure 2.

The El Indio deposit is considered as a ‘classic’ high sulphidation epithermal copper-gold-silver deposit. El Indio produced 4.5 Moz of gold, 25 Moz of silver and 472kt of copper produced form 16.8Mt of ore over 23 years of production[3] .

Laconia has secured access to the entire Ccarhuaraso Epithermal System through its 100% interest in the Rasuhuilca Project and its indirect interest in the Huaco Cucho tenements (seven year option to earn up to 80%)[4] .

Laconia’s priority initial drilling programme has been designed to test these copper targets once all necessary drilling and community approvals have been obtained.

Copper – Intrinsic Modelling Long Section

The two long sections represented in Figure 1, cut approximately north-to-south along the Huaco Fault, demonstrate the distribution of gold-silver (top) compared to copper (shown in addition to gold-silver on the bottom).

The copper has a greater spatial area at lower elevations, possibly reflecting a transition to a lower level of mineralised porphyry system.

About the Rasuhuilca Project

The Project currently has an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of; 360,000t @ 1.97g/t gold and 179g/t silver (at a 2.5g/t gold-equivalent cut-off)[5] . Note: [All cut-offs based on an Xg/t Au Eq are conceptual in nature only[6] . There has been insufficient metallurgical testwork to date to determine eventual metallurgical recoveries and it is uncertain that the conceptual cut-offs used will be appropriate following further metallurgical testwork.]

The Rasuhuilca Project is located approximately 500km southeast of the Peruvian capital, Lima, in the southern part of the country (see Figure 3). It is an advanced, high-grade copper, gold and silver project with near-term development potential and significant exploration upside potential. The Company’s strategy is to utilise the potential revenues from the project once in production to fund further exploration, and increase the current resource base.

This Mineral Resource statement is based on historical data and classified as Inferred Mineral Resource as there was a lack of independent QA/QC data available at the time of resource estimation. Independent sampling has since been completed by Laconia[7] to confirm the tenor of the historic data. The Company plans to review the resource (category and size) so it can confidently be used as the basis for mine planning activities, with an internal review of a feasibility study completed by previous owners (2008).

Work Completed at the Rasuhuilca Project during the September Quarter 2013

  • Continuing consultation with community groups

  • Access and infrastructure agreement signed with Huacana community

  • Expansion of the exploration model and scoping of exploration works to test for a porphyry copper-gold system

Rasuhuilca Project – Further 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 (silicaalunite-sulphide alteration);

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

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

5 Refer ASX Release 25 January 2012

6 Gold Equivalent Calculation

Gold equivalent (Au Eq) calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and expressed in equivalent Gold grade. These results are taken from the Rasuhuilca zone JORC Code Inferred Resource and no allowance is made for metallurgical recoveries. No definitive metallurgical test work has been conducted on the project at this stage of its development, however, it is the Company’s opinion that the elements expressed here have a reasonable potential to be recovered as evidenced in similar deposit styles in Peru. Gold Equivalent conversion factors and long term price assumptions used are as follows: Gold Equivalent Formula = Au ppm + (25/1350) x Ag ppm Price Assumptions: Au(US$1,350/oz), Ag(US$25/oz)

Virtual Data Room

Since the acquisition of the Rasuhuilca Project, Laconia has compiled a database that contains greater than 3,000 channel samples from approximately 5km of underground development and adits, and more than 40 diamond drill holes, plus associated survey and assay data. Increasingly, Laconia’s systematic review of data has highlighted the copper potential of the Rasuhuilca Project area in addition to the existing gold-silver epithermal vein systems that are extensively developed at the Rasuhuilca Project.

With the benefit of up to date technology and processes, Laconia is the first worker to systematically collate all available information and construct three-dimensional models of mineralisation which support the views of previous workers, who likened the style and nature of the mineralisation at the Ccarhuarazo Epithermal System to the high grade El Indio deposit in northern Chile.

Following a number of unsolicited approaches from major copper focused resource companies looking for advanced copper exploration properties, Laconia has established a Virtual Data Room allowing companies to access technical data under relevant confidentiality agreements. A number of companies that have executed a confidentiality agreement have commenced viewing the data.

Community Agreement Progress

During the quarter Laconia reached an agreement for rights to access, exploration and infrastructure on land within the Huacana community, Peru[8] . The Huacana community is one of three community groups within the immediate area of impact of the Rasuhuilca Project.

This follows a recent agreement Laconia has reached with the Yanama community[9] . Laconia has now reached agreement with two communities and is advanced in concluding negotiations with the remaining community group.

The agreement is yet another positive step toward obtaining social licence over the entire Rasuhuilca Project area required for government drilling permitting. The Agreement shows strong support for Laconia and its advanced Rasuhuilca copper-gold-silver Project and reflects the transparency, respect and confidence Laconia is building with relevant community groups and stakeholders with whom we are working. The agreement puts the Project on a solid path for further exploration with predictable social license costs and commitments.

Support from the Central and Provincial governments continues to assist Laconia in the objectives identified in gaining social license with the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The National Water Authority and Ministry of Presidential Advisors – National Office of Dialog and Sustainability are also contributing with tangible community projects and assistance.
