Kimsa Orcco Project – Peru

Kimsa Orcco Project – Patacancha Tenements 100% Laconia Resources Ltd

The Company is investigating all avenues for advancing it mineral assets, however, taking into consideration the protracted downturn and subdued sentiment for natural resources the Company has been strategically reviewing its entire tenement package both in Australia and Peru including joint venture agreements.

As part of this strategic review Laconia has given notice of termination on its option agreement to acquire an 80% ownership interest in Sallka Uno y Dos S.A.C. (“SALLKA”) and Andes Exploration of Peru Numero Dos S.A.C. (“ANDES DOS”), the companies holding the 11 Licenses contiguous to Laconia’s 100% controlled Patacancha tenement package.

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-project in the Ayacucho region of Southern Peru across four 100% Laconia Resources Ltd permits covering 27.65 km[2] . Laconia’s permits lie over the 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.

Outlook for June 2015 Quarter

Kimsa Orcco Project

  • Taking into account the continued depressed market outlook and difficult capital market conditions for base metals Laconia has taken all steps to minimise costs and is looking at every avenue to preserve the inherent value we see in the Kimsa Orcco Project. While capital markets continue to discount exploration activity we believe joint venture arrangements will ultimately extract shareholder value.

Western Australian Projects

  • Project reviews will be undertaken, and costed work programs formed.

Laconia continues to investigate and evaluate all opportunities both in Australia and internationally that will be value accretive to shareholders.
