- KIWIRRKURRA IOCG PROJECT UPDATE -
Consent to Mine received & airborne electromagnetic survey completed
Highlights
- Consent to Mine endorsement received for granted tenements which permits on-ground exploration activities within Aboriginal Inhabitants Reserve.
- Site reconnaissance mapping & rock-chip sampling planned to commence mid-November.
- High-resolution helicopter-borne electromagnetic ("AEM") survey completed with preliminary interpretation and targeting underway.
- AEM survey was flown in conjunction with neighbouring tenement holders.
Rincon's Managing Director, Gary Harvey commented:
"The region is hotting up; we are surrounded by good neighbours with majors such as Rio Tinto (ASX: RIO) and IGO (ASX: IGO) also exploring for Iron Oxide Copper Gold ("IOCG"), gold and other base metal deposits in the region.
"This is welcome news for Rincon, with a Consent to Mine endorsement now received we can commence on-ground activities at Kiwirrkurra. We have waited over 12-months for this endorsement. Now we can schedule our activities with some certainty including drilling at Pokali, one of the more advanced IOCG prospects in the West Arunta region. There's no other prospect in the region that I'm aware of that has known copper mineralisation drilled over at least 4km strike, starting from outcrop and extending to about 250m depth; and the system remains open in all directions.
"The AEM survey, completed in conjunction with neighbouring tenement holders, is the first bonafide exploration activity we have completed at Kiwirrkurra other than a review and targeting exercise based on previous geophysics data. This should really assist with refining our existing targets as well as identifying new IOCG-style copper targets for drilling".
Rincon Resources Limited (Rincon or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has received a Consent to Mine endorsement for its granted tenements and completed an AEM survey at its 100% owned Kiwirrkurra IOCG Project ("Kiwirrkurra"), located in the West Arunta Region of Western Australia.
Consent to Mine
The Consent to Mine endorsement ("Endorsement") for its granted tenements, received from the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety ("DMIRS"), follows a 12 month process whereby the Company successfully negotiated a Mineral Exploration and Land Access Deed ("DOA") with the Tjamu Tjamu (Aboriginal Corporation) RNTBC and received a Ministerial Entry Permit, both pre-requisites to receiving the Endorsement.
The Endorsement now permits on-ground exploration activities to commence subject to terms of the DOA with the Company planning to conduct a site reconnaissance survey and a rock-chip sampling program commencing November 2022.
Airborne Electromagnetic Survey
A high-resolution helicopter-borne 'XciteTM' 1 time-domain electromagnetic survey ("Airborne EM or AEM") survey was recently completed over the Company's priority tenement E80/5241, which hosts the highly prospective Pokali IOCG Prospect (Refer to Figure 1) where historic drilling has identified a significant copper mineral system over a current strike length of at least 4km and to a depth of about 250m, with the system remaining open in all directions.
Best historic drilling results at Pokali include2 :
- PKC024 62m @ 0.39% Cu from 152m (incl. 14m @ 1.0% Cu from 168m);
- PKC027 42m @ 0.33% Cu from 196m (incl. 4m @ 1.36% Cu from 222m);
- PKC023 32m @ 0.46% Cu from 74m (incl. 6m @ 1.36% Cu from 100m);
- PKC007 46m @ 0.37% Cu from 24m;
- PKC021 44m @ 0.30% Cu from 66m;
- PKC008 18m @ 0.52% Cu from 76m; and
- PKC022 16m @ 0.45% Cu from 188m.

2 For full results refer to Rincon's Prospectus dated 3 November 2020 (available to view on the Company's website).
Airborne EM surveys have shown to be a successful targeting tool in detecting electrically conductive massive sulphide mineralisation in ironstone and gneissic rocks, which also provides discrete targets for focussed drill testing compared to magnetic-gravity highs, which may require multiple holes for proper testing.
The Company previously identified multiple coincident magnetic-gravity IOCG-style targets from a study completed in 2021 (Refer to ASX; RCR Announcement dated 15 October 2021). The recent AEM survey was flown in order to try and detect massive sulphide mineralisation in the top 250m for direct drill targeting that may not have been identified from the 2021 study. The results will also assist in refining current targets ahead of drilling.
The recent AEM survey was completed in conjunction with the neighbouring tenement holders, which provided a cost reduction with shared mobilisation costs. Preliminary interpretation and targeting is underway with results to be released as they become available.

About Rincon
Rincon Resources Limited has a 100% interest in three highly prospective copper and gold projects in Western Australia: South Telfer, Laverton and Kiwirrkurra. Each project has been subject to historical exploration which has identified major mineralised systems which Rincon intends on exploring in order to delineate copper and gold resources.
