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)

Subsequent to the Quarter end 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] .

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).

Also subsequent to the Quarter end, exploration activities commenced with sampling and geological mapping programmes currently in progress. These activities are being coordinated in conjunction with drilling company site visits as part of the drill tender process.

DIA Approval for Drill Permitting at Kimsa Orcco Project

During the Quarter, Laconia announced it had received it’s Declaración de Impacto Ambiental (DIA) ( Environmental Impact Statement ) from MINEM[3] . Laconia advised it has received a Resolution, No 0032014-MEM-DGAAM approving its DIA from the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Department of Environmental Affairs.

The DIA includes social stakeholder mapping, baseline studies of flora and fauna, anthropological and hydrological studies. With this approval by the MINEM, Laconia plans to commence work on improving access, infrastructure and establishment of drill pads.

The drilling permitting process also requires community agreements. There are three communities in the locality of the Project, and all three communities have now reached agreement with Laconia.

Expansion of the Fortuna Prospect north into Rosita

During the quarter additional high-grade copper-gold-silver values were identified at the Rosita Prospect[4] , 150 metres north of the Fortuna Prospect, one of the Southern Kimsa Orcco prospects.

The Rosita prospect, like the Fortuna prospect, is identified as a polymetallic vein system with high grade copper, gold and silver. Significant zinc, lead and tellurium results are also returned in some samples. The veins at Rosita are oriented parallel to the those identified at the Fortuna Prospect, leading the Company to conclude that the Rosita Prospect may be a northern exposure of an extensive set of related veins throughout the greater Fortuna area, which are largely obscured by scree slopes and present attractive exploration targets.

Mineralisation is hosted by a set of at least three significant veins that trend east-west for a minimum of 90 metres, and dip steeply to the north, with a trajectory for intersecting the large regional Huaco Fault at the west end of the prospect. The geology at the Rosita and Fortuna prospects is shown in Figure 2, with the best surface sample and drill intercepts marked.

Previously released highlight results from Rosita Prospect include:

  • 0.4 m at 1.29 % Cu, 1.53 g/t Au and 65 g/t Ag in surface channel sample 67258

  • 0.3 m at 5.63 % Cu, 2.36 g/t Au and 132 g/t Ag in surface channel sample 67259

Extension of the Española 1 Prospect Trend North into Indigena, Española 2 and Favi Prospects

During the quarter, further high-grade copper-gold-silver values in surface channel samples from Buenaventura Ingenieros SAC exploration were identified extending 400 metres north of the Española 1 prospect. This extension includes the Indigena vein, the Española 2 vein and the Favi vein.

At Kimsa Orcco, a central region containing copper-rich mineralisation has now been recognized at the Southern Kimsa Orcco prospects, through the systematic review of data with the benefit of up-to-date 3D computer software. This has consolidated Laconia’s understanding of the broad zone of mineralisation and its geological controls.

==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

The location of all prospects identified as containing high-grade copper-gold-silver intercepts is shown in Figure 4. The architecture of the copper zone is dominated by three regional faults, the Huaco Fault, the Huarmicocha Fault and the San Valentin Fault. These faults appear to be a major controlling factor on the location of high-grade copper at the Project, and the area is interpreted to be one of at least two volcanic centres at the Southern Kimsa Orcco prospects.

The addition of the northern extension at Indigena, Española 2 and Favi prospects consolidates a region at the Project for targeting high-grade copper-gold-silver mineralisation. Grid used is PSAD56, Zone 18 South.

Laconia Resources Ltd – March 2014 Quarterly Report

Española 1 was the first locale in the Project to be noted to host high-grade copper in the minerals enargite and covellite, located in an adit intersection of 24.9 metres at 3.88 % Cu, 2.98 g/t Au and 66.63 g/t Ag, including 15.5 m at 6.54 % Cu, 4.77 g/t Au and 103.86 g/t Ag[ 5] .

Since completion of the Option Agreement for access to the Huaco Cucho Tenements, Fortuna then Rosita prospect historic channel sampling and diamond drilling results were compiled by Laconia and the trend of high-grade copper intersections continued into these prospects. Recent Company database additions have incorporated results from the Huaco Cucho No 1 tenement, and this has revealed a significant northern extension of the veining hosting copper at the Española 1 prospect, through the Indigena vein, the Española 2 vein and the Favi vein.

The Indigena vein and Española 2 veins are of a similar orientation to the Española 1 vein. The Favi vein to the north of the Indigena and Española 2 veins is of a similar orientation to the Fortuna and Rosita vein sets. Both Indigena and Española 2 veins strike about northwest – north, and dip steeply to the west, as does Española 1 vein. The exposure of these veins extends for 215 metres north and 100 metres north, respectively. The Favi vein is roughly east-west in strike, and dips to the north overall, at about 75 – 85 degrees, in a very similar aspect to the Fortuna and Rosita veins (that are 500 – 650 metres to the south). The Favi vein exposure can be traced over 320 metres. These veins and the channel sampling conducted at surface by Buenaventura Ingenieros SA geologists are shown in Figure 5. Surface samples are coloured by copper content, and the northern extension of the Española 1 trend is shown on the plan as green enargite veining.

Figure 5: Plan View of the Indigena, Favi and Española 2 prospects extending to the north from the Española 1 prospect, showing surface channel sample locations (coloured by copper content). Grid used is PSAD56, Zone 18 South.

The conclusion drawn by the Company is that there are two dominant structural trends in this central zone of the Southern Kimsa Orcco prospects that are enriched with copper, one being a vein set with a north – northwest strike with a steep west dip (Española 1, Indigena and Española 2 veins), and the other being an east-west strike, with a steep dip to the north (Fortuna, Rosita and Favi veins).

The zone within the three regional faults that contains all of these veins also corresponds to the area identified as the key target for drill testing the extent of copper mineralisation.

Laconia Resources Ltd – March 2014 Quarterly Report

The consolidation of an area of copper mineralisation at the Project further adds to the Company’s confidence that there may be an El Indio-style enargite deposit in addition to a deeper mineralised porphyry system at the Kimsa Orcco Project. Figure 6 below outlines the exploration model currently being applied at Kimsa Orcco Project over both the Southern and Northern prospects.

Work planned at Southern Kimsa Orcco prospects includes drill testing of the strike extent of copper-goldsilver veins and breccias, using diamond drilling, plus testing concealed areas between the known veins for further mineralised structures. Final drill plan details will be selected following completion of 3D geological modeling of the area. Surface geochemical studies are also planned over the Favi Vent zone, and at the Northern Kimsa Orcco prospects, to further characterise the zones of alteration, and allow finer vectoring to the centre of the altered systems, in preparation for drill testing for copper porphyry mineralisation.

About the Kimsa Orcco Project

The Kimsa Orcco Project is located approximately 500km southeast of the Peruvian capital, Lima, in the southern part of the country. It is an advanced, high-grade Copper-Gold-Silver project in the Ayacucho region of Southern Peru across four 100% Laconia Resources Ltd permits covering 27.65 km[2] and a further 11 contiguous permits through an 80% earn in option agreement, covering 56.22 km[2] . The total area of 83.87 km[2] hosts the entire Ccarhuaraso volcanic system that is proven to host high sulphidation epithermal copper gold and silver with near-term development potential and significant exploration upside potential.

Work Completed at the Kimsa Orcco Project during the March Quarter 2014

  • Approval of Declaración de Impacto Ambiental (DIA) from MINEM

  • Permission to Drill (Ordene Initio) granted (subsequent to quarter end) by MINEM

  • Access and infrastructure agreement with Tintay community, thereby securing Social Licence over the Project area

  • Continuing data compilation and review identifying further copper-gold-silver prospects

  • Planning and budgeting of channel sampling programs

  • 3D geological modeling commenced for drill planning at Southern Kimsa Orcco prospects

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

11

Laconia Resources Ltd – March 2014 Quarterly Report

==> picture [596 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

  • 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 7 below shows the argillic alteration footprint at the Project relative to other known Copper deposits in the world.

Virtual Data Room

Since receiving unsolicited approaches from a number of major copper focused resource companies looking for advanced copper exploration properties, a number of companies have executed a confidentiality agreement have commenced their initial review of Laconia’s virtual date room.

A number of companies having signed Confidentiality Agreements have now moved to conduct sites visits to further evaluate the Project and complete Due Diligence. One of these site visits conducted late last year has furthered to initial discussions on potential corporate activity. Further site visits are planned this Quarter.

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 survey and assay data from the Southern Kimsa Orcco Prospects. Increasingly, Laconia’s systematic review of data and field reconnaissance has highlighted the copper potential of the Northern and Southern Kimsa Orcco Prospects, in addition to the known gold-silver epithermal vein systems that are extensively developed at the southern Kimsa Orcco prospects.

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 Ccarhuaraso Epithermal System to the high grade El Indio deposit in northern Chile.
