/CNW/ - Kincora Copper Limited (the Company, Kincora)
(TSXV: KCC) (ASX: KCC) is pleased to provide an exploration update from ongoing drilling at
Trundle Park prospect situated at the brownfield Trundle project, located in the Macquarie Arc of the
Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) in NSW,
Australia
.
John Holliday
, Technical Committee chair, and
Peter Leaman
, VP of Exploration, noted:
"TRDD026 tested and better defined the NNW potential from TRDD022 intersecting two
zones of the targeted system, for which assay results are pending. While we have not yet
intersected the systems core we are seeing the encouraging right signs and are deepening
an adjacent hole (TRDD014W1).
TRDD014W1 seeks to test the target deeper below TRDD022 and to the SSE, and
to
determine if the mineralization in TRDD022
(including
46m
@ 0.54 g/t gold and 0.08%
copper)
and TRDD014 (including
10m
@ 0.73g/t gold and 0.1% copper) are related, and
proximal to the potassic core of the system
. Also, we are planning future holes to test the
open direction to the south of TRDD022 and TRDD014."
Two rigs remain operational, one currently drilling a wedge off TRDD014 at the Trundle Park
prospect at Trundle, and the other has commenced a fourth hole at the Gateway prospect at the
Fairholme project.
Trundle and Fairholme are both advanced exploration stage projects with hallmarks of neighbouring
deposits, Northparkes and Cowal respectively, with assay results from recent drilling pending.

Bespoke March 2020 report by Richard Schodde, MinEx Consulting, for Kincora
Trundle Park prospect
Recent drilling of hole TRDD022 by Kincora observed significant broad mineralized intervals
comprising
162m
@ 0.25 g/t gold, 0.04% copper and 9 ppm molybdenum (from
670m
), including
46m
@ 0.54 g/t gold and 0.08% copper (from
684m
) and
18m
@ 0.75 g/t gold and 0.09% copper
(from
712m
) (announced
August 16
th
, 2021:
"Significant gold bearing intervals at Trundle Park"
).
The results of TRDD022 revealed a large previously untested zone at depth, open in all directions. It
provided the greatest 'proof of concept' support to date for Trundle Park to host a porphyry intrusive
system, potentially with ore grades.
Detailed geological logging and petrographic analysis of TRDD022 has noted that the better-
mineralized zones are in brecciated areas, with strongly developed and variable interpreted outer
potassic alteration. These better-mineralized zones exhibit generally centimetre-scale interpreted
fingers of monzonite vein-dyke and associated mineralization intruding a monzodiorite intrusion.
TRDD026, the initial diamond drill 'scissor' hole to follow up TRDD022, sought to test the potential
for higher-grade gold-copper and along strike approximately
100m
NNW from the mineralization
zone in TRDD022. TRDD026 has intersected multiple intrusive phases providing further confirmation
of, and extension to, the targeted porphyry system.
Figure 3:
TRDD022 and TRDD026 provide convincing and increasing evidence of a multiple
phase, multiple intrusive system with demonstrated mineral tenor with analogous lithology
and alteration to the targeted intrusive porphyry systems that occur elsewhere in the wider
and immediate region (at Cadia and Northparkes respectively)
Porphyry system target confirmed and extended: TRDD022 and TRDD026 provide convincing and
increasing evidence of a multiple phase, multiple intrusive system with demonstrated mineral tenor

TRDD026 intersected the targeted monzonite intrusion in two zones:
1
.
Within a footwall to a westerly dipping fault where quartz-monzonite with strong sericite
alteration and quartz-carbonate veining, and breccia fill was observed (
711m
to
749m
down
hole). This interval is visually interpreted to be similar in mineral composition to the quartz-
monzonite observed in TRDD022 (
670m
to
730m
down hole) which is potassic altered and
along strike towards the south in relation to TRDD026 (see Figure 5 (b)). The intersection of
the approximately
40m
estimated near true width of the targeted lithological unit (quartz-
monzonite) is encouraging.
2
.
A multiphase felsic intrusion sequence was then intersected from
746m
to
826.9m
, interpreted
to be representative of the true width of this unit of the system (eg approximately
80m
). This
zone is dominated by monzodiorite, with interpreted later intrusions of minor quartz monzonite
exhibiting patchy potassic alteration and also quartz monzodiorite with chlorite-silica alteration.
The potassic altered quartz monzonite, with chalcopyrite mineralization (see Figure 5(d)), in
TRDD026 at
750m
down hole depth appears similar to and is interpreted to be related to the
potassic altered quartz monzonite in hole TRDD022 at
715m
depth containing elevated gold and
copper. Importantly, this interpretation supports potassic alteration occurring approximately
100m
along strike and to the north of TRDD022.
See Figure 5 for examples of rock types in TRDD026 and interpreted equivalent units to TRDD022
with Figures 3 and 4 illustrating the current intrusive model and interpretation at the Trundle Park
prospect.
The multiple phase, multiple intrusive setting returned in TRDD022 and TRDD026, coupled with
returned mineral tenor in TRDD022 provides indicators of a proximal environment to the targeted
core of an intrusive porphyry system. The multiple intrusive deposits at the neighbouring Northparkes
mine and at Cadia-Ridgeway exhibit such a setting around discrete mineralized cores of only
hundreds of metres width that are vertically extensive and occur in clusters or a series of deposits.
See Figure 4 for an example of the working alteration and geological model of the Trundle Park
prospect relative to the E48 deposit at Northparkes.
A wedge drilling off the previous hole TRDD014 has commenced. This hole TRDD014W1 is seeking
to test the vertical extent of the main mineralized zone in TRDD022 (
46m
@ 0.54 g/t gold and 0.08%
copper) down dip and on strike to the SSE, and horizontally to the NNW from TRDD014 (
10m
@
0.73g/t gold and 0.1% copper). Importantly, TRDD014W1 seeks to determine the potential for the
mineralization in these two holes to be related, and proximal to the potassic core of the currently
defined intrusive system.
Figure 4:
Interpreted structurally controlled sericitic overprinting alteration phase intersected
in TRDD026 adjacent to potassic alteration in TRDD022 supports a further potential
mineralising event within the porphyry system at Trundle Park
Pervasive fault/fracture controlled sericitic alteration often occurs in the centre of
Northparkes/Goonumbla district mineralised systems and extends to depth
While sericitic alteration in the traditional porphyry model is generally associated to be located in a
higher level in the system, deep-level sericite alteration often occurs overprinting or adjacent to the
core of the E48, E26, E27 and E22 porphyry deposits and E44 skarn deposit at the neighbouring
Northparkes system.

Drilling, Assaying, Logging and QA/QC Procedures
Sampling and QA/QC procedures are carried out by Kincora Copper Limited, and its contractors,
using the Company's protocols as per industry best practise.
All samples have been assayed at ALS Minerals Laboratories, delivered to Orange, NSW,
Australia
.
In addition to internal checks by ALS, the Company incorporates a QA/QC sample protocol utilizing
prepared standards and blanks for 5% of all assayed samples.
Diamond drilling was undertaken by DrillIt Consulting Pty Ltd, from Parkes, under the supervision of
our field geologists. All drill core was logged to best industry standard by well-trained geologists and
Kincora's drill core sampling protocol consisted a collection of samples over all of the logged core.
Sample interval selection was based on geological controls or mineralization or metre intervals,
and/or guidance from the Technical Committee provided subsequent to daily drill and logging
reports. Sample intervals are cut by the Company and delivered by the Company direct to ALS.
All reported assay results are performed by ALS and widths reported are drill core lengths. There is
insufficient drilling data to date to demonstrate continuity of mineralized domains and determine the
relationship between mineralization widths and intercept lengths.
True widths are not known at this stage.
Significant mineralised intervals for drilling at the Trundle project are reported based upon two
different cut off grade criteria:
Interpreted near surface skarn gold and copper intercepts are calculated using a lower cut of
0.20g/t and 0.10% respectively; and,
Porphyry intrusion system gold and copper intercepts are calculated using a lower cut of 0.10g/t
and 0.05% respectively.
Significant mineralised intervals are reported with dilution on the basis of:
Internal dilution is below the aforementioned respective cut off's; and,
Dilutions related with core loss as flagged by a "*".
The following assay techniques have been adopted for drilling at the Trundle project:
Gold: Au-AA24 (Fire assay), reported.
Multiple elements: ME-ICP61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES analysis for 33 elements) and
ME-MS61 (4 acid digestion with ICP-AES & ICP-MS analysis for 48 elements), the latter
report for TRDD001 and former reported for holes TRDD002-TRDD022.
Copper oxides and selected intervals with native copper: ME-ICP44 (Aqua regia digestion
with ICP-AES analysis) has been assayed, but not reported.
Assay results >10g/t gold and/or 1% copper are re-assayed.

Commentary
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 down hole 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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information
Kincora Copper Limited is the operator of the
Trundle Project, with drilling using diamond coring
methods by DrillIt Consulting Pty Ltd, from which
sub-samples were taken over 2 m intervals and
pulverised to produce suitable aliquots for fire
assay and ICP-MS.
Diamond drilling was used to obtain orientated
samples from the ground, which was then
structurally, geotechnically and geologically
logged.
Sample interval selection was based on geological
controls and mineralization.
Sampling was completed to industry standards
with 1⁄4 core for PQ and HQ diameter diamond
core and 1⁄2 core for NQ diameter diamond core
sent to the lab for each sample interval.
Samples were assayed via the following methods:
Gold: Au-AA24 (Fire assay)
Multiple elements: ME-ICP61 (4 acid
digestion with ICP-AES analysis for 33
elements) and ME-MS61 (4 acid digestion
with ICP-AES & ICP-MS analysis for 48
elements)
Copper oxides and selected intervals with
native copper: ME-ICP44 (Aqua regia
digestion with ICP-AES analysis) has been
assayed, but not reported
Assay results >10g/t gold and/or 1%
copper are re-assayed
Historic sampling on other projects included soils,
rock chips and drilling (aircore, RAB, RC and
diamond core).
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. 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 by Kincora at Trundle used diamond core
drilling with PQ, HQ and NQ diameter core
depending on drilling depth.
All Kincora core was oriented using a Reflex ACE
electronic tool.
Historic drilling on Kincora projects used a variety
of methods including aircore, rotary air blast,
reverse circulation, and diamond core. Methods
are clearly stated in the body of the previous
reports with any historic exploration results.
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.
Drill Core recovery was logged.
Diamond drill core recoveries are contained in the
body of the announcement.
Core recoveries were recorded by measuring the
total length of recovered core expressed as a
proportion of the drilled run length.
Core recoveries for most of Kincora's drilling were
in average over 97%, with two holes averaging
85%
Poor recovery zones are generally associated
with later fault zones and the upper oxidised parts
of drill holes.
There is no relationship between core recoveries
and grades.
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 Kincora holes are geologically logged for their
entire length including lithology, alteration,
mineralisation (sulphides and oxides), veining and
structure.
Logging is mostly qualitative in nature, with some
visual estimation of mineral proportions that is
semi-quantitative. Measurements are taken on
structures where core is orientated.
All core is photographed.
Historic drilling was logged with logging mostly
recorded on paper in reports lodged with the NSW
Department of Mines.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected,
including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.
Once all geological information was extracted from
the drill core, the sample intervals were cut with
an Almonte automatic core saw, bagged and
delivered to the laboratory.
This is an appropriate sampling technique for this
style of mineralization and is the industry standard
for sampling of diamond drill core.
PQ and HQ sub-samples were quarter core and
NQ half core.
Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the
disseminated, generally fine-grained nature of
mineralisation being sampled.
Duplicate sampling on some native copper bearing
intervals in TRDD001 was undertaken to determine
if quarter core samples were representative, with
results indicating that sampling precision was
acceptable. No other duplicate samples were
taken.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used
in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
Gold was determined by fire assay and a suite of
other elements including Cu and Mo by 4-acid
digest with ICP-AES finish at ALS laboratories in
Orange and Brisbane. Over-grade Cu (>1%) was
diluted and re-assayed by AAS.
Techniques are considered total for all elements.
Native copper mineralisation in TRDD001 was re-
assayed to check for any effects of incomplete
digestion and no issues were found.
For holes up to TRDD007 every 20th sample was
either a commercially supplied pulp standard or
pulp blank. After TRDD007 coarse blanks were
utilised.
Results for blanks and standards are checked
upon receipt of assay certificates. All standards
have reported within certified limits of accuracy
and precision.
Historic assays on other projects were mostly gold
by fire assay and other elements by ICP.
Verification
of sampling
and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company
personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
Significant intercepts were calculated by Kincora's
geological staff.
No twinned holes have been completed.
The intercepts have not been verified by
independent personal.
Logging data is captured digitally on electronic
logging tablets and sampling data is captured on
paper logs and transcribed to an electronic format
into a relational database maintained at Kincora's
Mongolian office. Transcribed data is verified by
the logging geologist.
Assay data is received from the laboratory in
electronic format and uploaded to the master
database.
No adjustments to assay data have been made.
Outstanding assays are outlined in the body of the
announcement.
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.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Collar positions are set up using a hand-held GPS
and later picked up with a DGPS to less than 10cm
horizontal and vertical accuracy.
Drillholes are surveyed downhole every 30m using
an electronic multi-shot magnetic instrument.
Due to the presence of magnetite in some
alteration zones, azimuth readings are
occasionally unreliable and magnetic intensity data
from the survey tool is used to identify these
readings and flag them as such in the database.
Grid system used is the Map Grid of Australia
Zone 55, GDA 94 datum.
Topography in the area of Trundle is near-flat and
drill collar elevations provide adequate control
Data
spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
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.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Kincora drilling at Trundle is at an early stage, with
drill holes stepping out from previous mineralisation
intercepts at various distances.
Data spacing at this stage is insufficient to
establish the continuity required for a Mineral
Resource estimate.
No sample compositing was applied to Kincora
drilling.
Historic drilling on Trundle and other projects was
completed at various drill hole spacings and no
other projects have spacing sufficient to establish
a mineral resource.
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.
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.
The orientation of Kincora drilling at Trundle has
changed as new information on the orientation of
mineralisation and structures has become
available.
The angled drill holes were directed as best
possible across the known lithological and
interpreted mineralized structures.
There does not appear to be a sampling bias
introduced by hole orientation in that drilling not
parallel to mineralised structures.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
Kincora staff or their contractors oversaw all
stages of drill core sampling. Bagged samples
were placed inside polyweave sacks that were
zip-tied, stored in a locked container and then
transported to the laboratory by Kincora field
personnel.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.
Mining Associates has completed an review of
sampling techniques and procedures dated
January 31st, 2021, as outlined in the Independent
Technical Report included in the ASX listing
prospectus, which is available at:
