Kraaipan Project Update
Highlights
-
Gold Prospectivity Analysis has identified a geological setting within the Kraaipan Project area that is interpreted to be directly analogous to the genetic model for the Kalgold Mine.
-
Previous first pass exploration within the Project area by third parties only focused on an approximately 10 kilometre-long section in the south of the tenure, where the prospective greenstones outcrop.
-
Gold prospectively confirmed with 224 rock chip samples, the most significant rock chip assay results from this survey include: 36g/t Au, 9.9g/t Au, 7.4g/t Au, 6.2g/t Au, 4.8g/t Au, 4.7g/t Au, 4.5g/t Au, 4.4g/t Au, 3.5g/t Au; as well as another 38 assay results above 1g/t Au. Overall 20% of rock chip samples (47 in total) produced assay results in excess of 1g/t Au.
-
Laconia plans to immediately commence an extensive exploration program utilising geochemical and geophysical techniques successfully employed in Australia (e.g. Yilgarn Goldfields) but not applied in this terrane.
-
Geochemical soil survey of over 14,000 samples that provides an almost tenure-wide coverage of the prospective greenstone rocks ready for analysis.
Laconia Resources Limited (‘ Laconia ’ or ‘ Company ’) ( ASX: LCR ) is pleased to announce further details on the Kraaipan Gold-Nickel-Copper-PGM Project (‘Kraaipan Project’ or ‘Project’) in Botswana, as well as the results of a detailed gold prospectivity analysis that will be used to focus exploration efforts once the acquisition is complete.
The Kraaipan Project comprises an extensive Prospecting Licence, PL232/2016 (‘Project Tenure’) that is 866km[2] and covers approximately 50 kilometre stretch of Kraaipan Greenstone Belt in southern Botswana (Figure 1). The Project is part of the larger NNW trending Amalia-KraaipanGreenstone-Terrane (‘AKGT’) of the Kaapvaal Craton. The AKGT in Botswana is directly along strike from significant gold deposits, as well as adjacent to significant PGE deposits across the border in South Africa.
The southern boundary of the project tenure is located along Botswana’s southern border with South Africa and accessed via well-maintained, all weather roads from Gaborone (capital of Botswana), approximately 150 kilometres to the north.

Previous Gold Exploration
Previous first pass exploration within the Project area by third parties only focused on an approximately 10 kilometre-long section in the south of the tenure, where the prospective greenstones outcrop (Figure 2). This exploration confirmed the gold prospectivity of this area with 224 rock chip samples being taken across the outcropping areas, where cross-cutting quartz veins were observed (Figure 3)*. The most significant rock chip assay results from this survey include: 36g/t Au , 9.9g/t Au , 7.4g/t Au , 6.2g/t Au , 4.8g/t Au, 4.7g/t Au, 4.5g/t Au, 4.4g/t Au, 3.5g/t Au; as well as another 38 assay results above 1g/t Au. Overall 20% of rock chip samples (47 in total) produced assay results in excess of 1g/t Au.

The excellent assay results from the rock chip survey were then followed up with a first pass drill program of 74 RAB holes for 3,631m RAB drilling[^] . Several of these holes intersected significant, shallow gold mineralisation such as:
-
KP037: 13m @ 1.7g/t Au from 11m, including 3m @ 5.1g/t Au ;
-
KP052: 21m @ 1.0g/t Au from 6m, including 5m @ 2.3g/t Au from 27m;
-
KP077: 9m @ 1.1g/t Au from 17m, including 4m @ 2.3g/t Au ;
-
KP074: 42m @ 0.6g/t from 3m, including 21m @ 1g/t Au from 9m;
-
KP045: 13m @ 0.5g/t Au from 17m, including 6m @ 0.8g/t Au;
-
KP038: 15m @ 0.3g/t Au from 9m, including 5m @ 0.7g/t Au;
-
KP061: 19m @ 0.3g/t Au from surface, including 9m @ 0.6g/t Au; and
-
KP060: 12m @ 0.5g/t Au from surface.
Inclusive with the acquisition of the Kraaipan Project is a geochemical soil survey of over 14,000 samples that provides an almost tenure-wide coverage of the prospective greenstone rocks (Figure 4). These samples have only been partially analysed using a portable XRF but already show several geochemically anomalous areas, that need to be followed up. Immediately after the completion of the Kraaipan Project acquisition, the Company plans to analyse selected subsets of the regional soil survey samples for ‘Pathfinder’ elements e.g. As, Te, Bi, Ag, Rb, Ba, Zr, Sc and K using a full geochemistry suite, as well as low detection Au & PGMs. Then to get the most value out of this dataset, the company plans to consult a leading expert in gold exploration geochemistry to advise on selecting the most prospective targets to follow up with further, more focussed exploration.

Gold Prospectivity Analysis
The Kraaipan Greenstone Belt in Botswana is interpreted as highly prospective for both lode-gold mineralisation as it is within the same terrane as the well-known Kalgold Mine in South Africa (Figure 1). The Kalgold Mine, owned by Harmony Gold Mining Company Ltd (‘Harmony’, JSE: HAR) has been in production since 1996 and had an estimated pre-mining mineral resource containing over 4 million oz gold.[1] The gold mineralisation identified by previous exploration in the Kraaipan Greenstone Belt within Botswana is distinctly similar to that found at Kalgold. It occurs in swarms of quartz ± carbonate veins that obliquely cross-cut the Banded Iron Formation (‘BIF’) host rocks (Figure 3). In both areas, the gold mineralized veins are associated with disseminated sulphide mineralisation, dominated by pyrite, distributed around and between the quartz vein swarms.
Figure 5 shows a comparison between the genetic model proposed for the Kalgold mineralisation and the geological setting of the Kraaipan Project. Outlined in red is an area within the Kraaipan Project tenure that is proximal to a granite intrusive body that appears to have the same relative timing as the gold mineralisation at both Kalgold and found by historic exploration within the Kraaipan Project area (post peak deformation-metamorphism event). When this geological setting is compared to the Kalgold genetic model, it is interpreted that if this granite intrusive is a source of gold enriched fluids, similar to the intrusive that is proposed to be the source of the Kalgold mineralising fluids, then the most prospective area within the Kraaipan Project is within the general vicinity of this intrusive. In order to focus in on more defined targets with this larger area, it is further interpreted that zones where major structures connect this granite intrusive with the host BIF rocks should be the most prospective targets for gold mineralisation. This interpretation is believed to be consistent with the results of the historic gold exploration to the south, which is considered an outliner gold mineralised area, distal to the main gold endowed zones that are interpreted to be to the north, closer to the granite intrusive.
Proposed Gold Exploration Activities
As previous exploration was mainly confined to the outcropping rocks, vast areas of gold prospective greenstone rocks have been left unexplored due to various thicknesses of transported overburden. This provides Laconia with an exciting and unique opportunity to apply well developed and highly successful undercover exploration techniques, that are tried and tested in especially in southern Australia (Yilgarn, Gawler, etc) to an exciting, well-endowed but poorly explored greenstone belt. The most effective and successful uncover exploration techniques to find gold mineralisation similar to that found at Kalgold undercover is interpreted to be a combination of geochemical soil and calcrete sampling. In order to progress the exploration of the Kraaipan project the company plans to:

| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as downhole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Rock chip samples were collected during reconnaissance regional mapping of the outcrops within the Kraaipan Project area. While the historic rock chip sampling techniques are not well documented, it has been determined that quartz veins were specifically targeted as these were regarded as the most probably rocks to contain gold mineralisation, similar to that found across the border in South Africa at Kalgold, Madibe, Muirs Reef and Blue Dot (Goudplaats, Abelskop and Bothmasrust). As these samples were selective in regards to the quartz veins they are not considered wholly representative of the underlying geology. The weight of the samples was also not recorded however, this is interpreted to be not material due to the early stage of this exploration and the fact that these rock chips were then followed up by bedrock drilling. Percussion drilling (RAB) with adown hole hammer and cyclone was used to obtain a drill chip sample for every metre down hole. Where mineralisation was visible the 1 metre samples were assayed, while geologically controlled 3m or 5m composites were used in barren zones. If any of the 3m or 5m composites returned positive assay results, then all the original 1m samples were re-split and assayed individually. A 1.5 to 2 kg sample was riffle spilt from the recovered drill chip sample and sent for assay. Laboratory preparation included crushing and pulverising of the entire sample to -75um. Then a 50g split was taken for gold analysis using fire assay. |
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |
Drilling was completed with an Ingersoll Rand ECM350 Crawler Rig and a XHP 750/250 Compressor. Samples were collected from 3.5inch (90mm) diameter holes using Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling with adown hole hammer and cyclone. This drilling technique is considered appropriate as it is industry standard for early stage exploration drilling programs, especially for gold exploration in greenstone terranes. |

| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
Recovered drill chip samples were weighed in order to assess sample recovery. Sample weight varied between 10 and 20kg depending on the geological unit and recovery was considered to be good. There was no observed bias between sample recovery and grade. |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
All drill holes were logged in full from start to finish of the hole. The logging was qualitative in terms of lithology, weathering, mineralogy, mineralisation, colour and other features but quantitative in terms of observed estimates of the percentage of various minerals/mineralisation. No photography of the chip trays has been found. The logging of the drill chip samples was appropriate for this early stage of exploration drilling but not for supporting Mineral Resource Estimations, Mining Studies or Metallurgical Studies. |

Rock chip and drill chip sample preparation was carried out according to industry standard practices at a certified, independent minerals industry analytical laboratory. The sample preparation included oven drying, coarse crushing and pulverisation to 75μm, which is considered appropriate and industry standard for analysis of gold content from this style of mineralisation. Sample sizes are considered to be appropriate for the style and type of mineralisation. |

Laboratory preparation included oven drying, crushing and pulverising of the entire sample to less than 75um. Then a 50g split was taken for gold analysis using fire assay with Atomic Absorption analysis (AAS) and detection to a detection limit of <0.01ppm. This analysis technique is industry standard for gold mineralisation. Duplicate samples were submitted every 20 samples or less as a control measure. The results from duplicate samples were compared with the corresponding routine sample to ascertain whether the sampling was representative. These results indicated that there was no discernible bias between the routine sample and the duplicate. No standards or blanks were used. At the end of the programme, splits from a number of the best sample drill hole intervals were sent to another laboratory for comparison. All results compared favourably with the original assays.

| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. |
Rock chip sample points and drill holes were located on a local grid and converted to Arc1950/UTM zone 35S with a 2 point transformation. Local grids were cut using a compass, ranging rods and tape, with lines being pegged with wooden stakes at 25 metre intervals. Base Lines pegs were later cemented for further exploration. Accuracy of rock chip sample points and drill hole collar locations has not been established and therefore they cannot be used in Mineral Resource estimation. No down hole surveys. This is not considered to be material due to the early stage of this exploration and the fact that the bedrock drilling was relatively shallow. |

| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. | Areas where rock chip sampling was conducted was constrained to areas of outcrop where quartz veining was found. Therefore the spatial distribution of rock chip sampling data is controlled by the occurrence of quartz veins. Areas where drilling was completed and the orientation of the drill holes themselves were controlled using the information obtained from mapping the outcropping geological units, rock chip geochemical assay data and ground geophysical data collected. Four main areas were targeted to follow up on anomalous gold rock chip and soil geochemical sampling results. Drill holes were completed alongeast-west trendingfences and were evenlyspaced at |

| 25m intervals. Holes were mainly drilled at a 60 degree dip, mainly towards either the east or west. Several holes were drilled at 75 degrees, when the outcrop indicated that geological units dipped shallowly. Most holes were drilled to 50 metres depth, except were overburden was greater than 10 metres and then holes were extended to 70-75 metres. In total 78 drill holes were completed for 3,791 metres. |

| Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. |
The data spacing and distribution of this drilling is insufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource Estimation. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. | Geologically controlled 3m or 5m composites of drill chips were used in barren zones. However, if any of the 3m or 5m composites of drill chips returned positive gold assay results, then all the original 1m drill chip samples were re-split and assayed individually. |
|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
Drill holes were orientated perpendicular to the strike of and at a high angle to the geological units that have been observed to contain the gold mineralisation structures/veins. Similar style gold mineralisation within the same geological units at a gold mine 40kms to the south of this area but along strike, has been observed to be contained within two main gold vein orientations. Therefore, structurally oriented diamond core drilling will be needed to establish if multiple orientations of gold veins occur in this area. |
| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
As the drill holes were orientated perpendicular to the strike of geological units and drilled at any angle to intersect the geological units at a high angle, it is interpreted that no sampling bias has been introduced. However, further drilling needs to be completed to properly understand the geometry of the mineralised structures within the host geological units to more confidently say there is no sampling bias in relation to the orientation of drilling and the orientation of the mineralised structures. |

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | The Kraaipan Project covers an approximately 50 kilometre long stretch of the Kraaipan Greenstone Belt (KGB) in Southern Botswana. The KGB is a part of the larger Amalia-Kraaipan Greenstone Terrane of the Kaapvaal Craton (AKGB), consisting of north trending, linear belts of older Archaean (~3500 Ma) meta-volcanic and meta-sedimentary rocks, separated by granitoid units. The KGB in Botswana is interpreted to be highly prospective for both orogenic gold and magmatic nickel-copper-PGM sulphide mineralisation as these rocks are directly along strike and within the same geological units as the well-known Kalgold (over 4.0 million ounces of gold) and Kalplats (over 6.5 million ounces of PGMs) deposits across the border in South Africa. The gold mineralisation identified by previous exploration within the KGB is distinctly similar to that found at Kalgold. It occurs in shallow dipping (approximately 65°E) quartz-carbonate veins, found in clusters or swarms, within a steeply dipping, sub-greenschist facies, magnetite-chert, banded iron formation (BIF) rock units. While, the mineralisation at Kalgold is associated with two sub horizontal quartz-carbonate groups of veins (IIA and IIB), which also dip shallowly at 20 to 40°W. Group IIA are ladder veins preferentially developed in centimeter-scale Fe-rich mesobands, while Group IIB consists of large quartz- carbonate veins, which crosscut the entire orebody and extends into the footwall and hanging-wall in places. In both areas the gold mineralized veins are associated with disseminated sulphide mineralisation, dominated by pyrite, which is distributed around and between the shallowly dipping quartz vein swarms. |

This information has not been excluded. | |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
The gold grade of the longer, lower grade intersection lengths were calculated using a weighted average method with a 0.1g/t Au cut-off. The gold grade of the shorter, higher grade intersection lengths was calculated using a weighted average method of either 0.3g/t Au, 0.5g/t Au or 1g/t Au cut-off depending on whatever was the highest-grade interval that could be defended over at least 3 metres. No higher-grade assay results were interpreted to be outlying enough for a top-cut to be used. Internal dilution (an assay result lower than the cut-off) was included in some instances where the weighted average remained above the cut- off grade between the start of the interval and the assay result that was lower than the cut-off. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
See above explanation of the procedure of the weighted average intersection reporting used. |
|
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalents used. | |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill-hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
Drill holes were orientated perpendicular to the strike of and at a high angle to the geological units that have been observed to contain the gold mineralisation structures/veins. However, further drilling (especially structurally oriented diamond core) needs to be completed to properly understand the geometry of the mineralised structures within the host geological units to more confidently understand the angle between the orientation of drilling and the orientation of the mineralised structures within the host geological units. |
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
All assay intervals results reported in this announcement are downhole lengths. | |

|
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |

The only other material exploration data that is only briefly mentioned in this announcement is the Reunion soil geochemical survey results that are shown as an underlay in Figure 5. These soil geochemical survey results were used to plan the historic exploration drilling that is discussed in this announcement. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). |
Twin historic drill holes with structurally oriented diamond core help understand the relationship between the host geological units and the mineralised veins, as well as test the veracity of the historic assay results. Drill test lateral extensions of gold mineralisation in order to determine if a mineral resource can be defined in this area. Drill other geochemical and geophysical exploration targets in order to try to find gold or nickel-copper -PGM mineral resources. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
It is difficult to interpret the areas of possible extensions without the use of the results from the structurally oriented diamond core that is planned to be completed to twin some of the more significant historic drill holes. As this work progresses interpretations and the definition of targets will be announced. |
