Disclaimer and JORC Code Compliance Notice
Forward Looking and Exploration Target Statements
Some statements in this announcement regarding future events are forward‐looking statements. They involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from estimated results. Forward‐looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s exploration programme, outlook, target sizes, resource and mineralised material estimates. They include statements preceded by words such as “potential”, “target”, “scheduled” , “ p lanned” , “estimate” , “ p ossible” , “future” , “ p ros p ective” and similar ex p ressions. The terms “Direct Shi pp in g Ore ( DSO ) ” , “Tar g et” and “Ex p loration Target”, where used in this announcement, should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources and Reserves as defined by the JORC Code (2004), and therefore the terms have not been used in this context. Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature and it is uncertain if further exploration or feasibility study will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Reserve
Reference to resources
While Laconia Resources remains optimistic of the reserve /resource potential of its tenements any reference to “resource” or use of the term “ore” in this document is / are conce p tual in nature. Further work is re q uired to determine mineral reserves / resources.

Lennons Find Acquisition
-
The Hammerhead deposit contains a JORC Code Inferred Resource of 853,000 tonnes grading 7 7%. Zn, 1 8%. Pb, 0 7%. Cu and 115g/t Ag.
-
Considerable potential exists to define additional mineralisation within the lease and increase the resource base at the Hammerhead deposit.
-
Yandicoogina Project encompasses 13 km of the Duffer Formation which hosts The Lennons Find mineralisation along strike and is prospective for base metals and gold.
-
Previous reported anomalous base metal and gold intersections at Yandicoogina include 3m @ 1.0g/t gold & 0.9% zinc; and 5m @ 1.8% zinc, 0.5% lead.

Lennons Find Project Geology
-
The Project hosts five volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) prospects.
-
The mineralisation is open down dip and along strike.
-
Four prospects are located over 4km of strike at a similar stratigraphic level and contain significant shallow mineralisation which require further drilling to define a resource.
-
Mineralisation located within the Lennons Find mining lease is typically near surface and potentially amenable to open pit mining.

Zinc outlook
-
Market looking at deficit from 2013.
-
Zinc leveraged to global economic recovery.
-
Demand ex p ected to increase as emer g in g economies transition from construction to production of consumer products.
-
Chinese consumption of zinc relative to steel demand still half that of the developed world.
