Kimsa Orcco Project - Peru
(Kimsa Orcco Project – Patacancha Tenements 100% Laconia Resources Ltd; Huaco Cucho Tenements subject to 80% earn in option)
Permission to Drill Granted (Ordene Initio)
During the June Quarter Laconia was granted Permission to drill (Ordene Initio) from the Peruvian regulator the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) by Directoral Resolution Nº 0106-2014-MEM/DGM[1] . During the September Quarter, continuing plans and preparation have been made for commencement of the phase 1 drill program at the Favi Vent Zone, scheduled for the December 2014 Quarter.
This follows Laconia’s gaining of all necessary environmental approvals and Social Licence over its immediate area of impact of its Kimsa Orcco Project comprising its 100 per cent owned Patacancha tenements and the contiguous Huaco Cucho tenements, over which Laconia has an option to earn an 80 per cent indirect interest[2] .[ .] The Kimsa Orcco Project collectively covers over 8,387 hectares of highly prospective geology in the Peruvian Andes, (refer Figure 1).
Follow up – Sampling Field Trip and Site Visits by Potential JV Partners
During the June Quarter, the Company undertook a field trip to the Kimsa Orcco Project. The field trip achieved a number of objectives for the Company including showing potential JV partners the project geology as part of their due diligence process; sampling at Española, Fortuna prospects and preliminary investigations at the Northern Kimsa Orcco prospects.
The field trip was highly successful, with results received and reported in the June Quarter for all aspects of the work, with the exception of the stream sampling and the alteration characterisation. In the September Quarter the remaining results were received and interpretation is in progress.

Northern Kimsa Orcco Prospect Rock Chip Results
During a field program of surface and adit sampling at the Kimsa Orcco Project during April 2014[3] , 59 samples were collected over the Northern Kimsa Orcco prospects including the Huaco, Antaripa and Camp anomalies. The main focus of sampling was the largest Huaco anomaly that is interpreted to be the western exposure of a larger alteration system, of which the Antaripa anomaly is the eastern exposure[4] . Between the two areas of alteration is the main central valley that is filled with colluvium and alluvium, and that is a large erosional valley formed by glacial action. Figure 1 shows the location of the Northern Kimsa Orcco prospects where sampling was conducted during April 2014.
Analysis of the rock chip results indicates that the Northern Kimsa Orcco prospects are alteration zones that have higher molybdenum content at surface than the Southern Kimsa Orcco prospects. It is understood that as deeper levels of the epithermal/porphyry environment are encountered it is expected that molybdenum values will increase. This important conclusion from the sampling is the implication that the Northern prospects are at deeper levels of the epithermal/porphyry system.
The rock chips were collected specifically for alteration analysis and did not return significant gold or silver values. This may indicate that any possible gold and silver mineralisation in the area is either not outcropping, or was not located during this initial field campaign. It must also be noted that sample size was small, with the average sample weight being 500 grams. Normally a field rock chip sample would be between 2.5 – 3 kg to ensure representivity and to detect any nuggetty gold mineralisation. Due to these low weights, the samples are not considered to successfully test the area for precious metal mineralisation. Weakly elevated lead, zinc and molybdenum values are present[5] , and further work is required to systematically test the alteration zones and determine the position of the surface in the context of a porphyry exploration model. Following this interpretation of results, further work is planned with systematic gridded geochemical surveys over the Northern Kimsa Orcco prospects. In addition, detailed mapping of the area is planned so all further sampling can be understood in the context of the regional geology.
Highlighted molybdenum results at the Huaco anomaly include:
-
Sample H-0030B with 25.18 ppm Mo
-
Sample H-0015A with 19.04 ppm Mo

Spectral analysis (a technique that measures the reflectance and absorption of light waves on rock surfaces to determine mineralogy), was conducted on some of the rock chip samples collected from the Northern Kimsa Orcco prospects during the sampling program conducted in April 2014. The purpose of the analysis was to determine the clay species present in the alteration zones.
Analysis of the spectral results has only been recently received and are being interpreted for a specific release in the coming Quarter.
Completion of Historic Data Review at Favi Vent Zone
During the September Quarter further prospects were reviewed and the information from historic exploration by Buenaventura Ingenieros SAC was interpreted. Within the Favi Vent Zone, surface sampling at the Barita vein that forms part of the Española 1 prospect and the San Valentin vein to the north of the Favi vein were reviewed, adding to the known copper-gold-silver mineralised veining. Breccia 18 to the east of Española 1 prospect was also identified to contain some elevated copper results, plus outstanding precious metals results in surface samples. Greater than 1,000 metres of copper-gold-silver mineralised veining has now been recognised in the Favi Vent Zone.
South of Breccia 18, the Pebble Vein is a mineralised north-south striking structure, hosting precious metals. The San Valentin East vein also contains precious metals mineralisation. The Pebble Vein and San Valentin East veins are higher in the epithermal environment than the rest of the Favi Vent Zone, and correspondingly they do not contain any significant copper mineralisation.
Figure 2 shows the Favi Vent Zone and surrounds with the location of the above-mentioned prospects.

Barita Vein
The Barita vein consists of 280 metres strike of parallel veining immediately west of the Española 1 veins, and also broadens the width of outcropping veining at the area to 130 metres wide. The vein is parallel to and about 65 metres west of the veins at the Española 1 prospect that is about 900 m to the east of the Rasuhuilca deposit (see Figure 2). The dominant vein orientation at the Española 1 prospect strikes about northwest to southeast. The Barita vein has two structures that are parallel, and about 15 metres apart. Figure 3 shows the Barita vein and the Española 1 prospect geology and historic surface sampling, with samples coloured by gold values.

Select Española 1 prospect surface sampling results are shown in black. The location of the high-grade copper-gold-silver adit intersection from Laconia sampling in April 2014 is highlighted. Grid used is PSAD56, Zone 18 South.
Limited surface sampling has been done at the Barita vein, and potential remains for strongly mineralised breccia pipes in the area that have not yet been identified due to extensive shallow cover by scree slope material. For example, Figure 4 shows a breccia pipe that is about 10 metres wide by 20 metres long that has not been sampled. In addition, there are large areas of strong silicification and alunite alteration that require further sampling, as these alteration zones have been demonstrated to host modest gold and silver values in other parts of the project, such as the Huallatas prospect[6] that is 320 metres west of the Rasuhuilca Deposit, along the Rasuhuilca Trend (see Figure 2).

San Valentin Veins
The San Valentin and San Valentin East veins lie to the north of the Favi prospect in the Huaco Cucho No 1 tenement (see Figure 2). The San Valentin veins strike east – west and are sub-vertical. Historic sampling by Buenaventura Ingenieros SAC is shown in Figure 4. An initial program of surface channel sampling was completed during the 1999 field season, with encouraging results for copper, gold, silver and tellurium at the San Valentin vein. The San Valentin East vein returned good grades for gold and silver, without the accompanying copper and tellurium, signifying a transition away from the vent area. Copper is hosted in the mineral enargite with sub-ordinate covellite. Lead is present as galena.
To follow-up on these encouraging results, Buenaventura undertook a campaign of trenching during 2002, creating sampling trenches at regular intervals along the San Valentin and San Valentin East veins as part of their work campaign. The results from this work supported the initial sampling, with results verifying that significant mineralisation occurs between the areas of outcrop as well[7] .
Surface sampling has returned the best results where multiple structures intersect. These intersecting structures are interpreted to form dilational zones, controlling the plunge of strongly mineralised shoots within the plane of the main vein.
Three diamond drill holes were completed at the San Valentin vein, testing the area of highest coppergold-silver veining at the east end of the vein. The drill holes demonstrated that the structures continue to depth, as indicated by the logged silicified veins, disseminated sulphide and weak mineralisation encountered. Figures 5 and 6 show the cross sections for the drill holes done during 2002. As with other areas of the project, the drill holes also indicate the presence of numerous other silicified vein structures that do not crop out at surface due to the pervasive scree covering throughout the project area.

Breccia 18 and Pebble Vein
Breccia 18 and Pebble Vein lie to the east of the Española 1 prospect in the Patacancha 3 tenement (See figure 2). The sampling across the Pebble Dyke, Breccia 18 and Pebble Veins prospects are shown in Figure 7, in context with the Española 1 prospect. The geology of the zones and the location of all channel samples collected by Buenaventura Ingenieros SAC are shown. The highest grade samples are highlighted on the map.
The Pebble Dyke extends 500 metres to the north east from the Española 1 prospect. Limited channel sampling has been done along the dyke, warranting follow up work on the few low-grade samples collected during Buenaventura Ingenieros SAC exploration in 1999.
Breccia 18 is immediately adjacent to the Pebble Dyke, about 320 metres north east of Española 1, and returned exceptional high-grade gold, silver and lead values, in addition to elevated copper and tellurium values. Breccia 18 is another demonstration of the presence of poly-metallic mineralisation at the Southern Kimsa Orcco prospects.

Exploration Model
Laconia has developed a regional exploration model for the Kimsa Orcco Project, consisting of highsulphidation epithermal copper-gold-silver or gold-silver prospects in the upper reaches of the project, and porphyry copper mineralisation potential in the lower-lying areas of the project. Figure 8 illustrates this model, with some of the prospects already identified labeled on the image.

Kimsa Orcco Project – Further Exploration Potential
The Kimsa Orcco Project is situated on the collapsed rim of the Ccarhuaraso strato-volcano within a highly visible zone of secondary argillic 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; and
-
Copper-gold mineralisation within buried intrusive stocks, or gold-silver-zinc mineralisation in skarns surrounding buried intrusive stocks.
The Company believes there is potential for porphyry copper mineralisation at the Project. Figure 9 shows the argillic alteration footprint at the Project relative to other known copper deposits in the world.

Virtual Data Room
The scale and size of the Project has attracted the interest of a number of internationally focussed copper companies looking for advanced copper exploration properties. A number of companies have executed a confidentiality agreement and commenced their review of Laconia’s virtual date room.
Several of these have advanced their due diligence and more site visits are planned this Quarter. Laconia is actively managing this process and will update the market as appropriate.
Since the acquisition of the Kimsa Orcco Project (formerly Rasuhuilca and Huaco Cucho Projects), 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
